Chapter 1

The cool breeze was just what I needed as we all stepped out of the girls changing rooms at Bridgly High School for Gifted Children. Now, I know you're probably think that we're all posh and up each other here but Bridgly is a free school. The only thing you have to do to come here is pass a test. The boys were out as well that Tuesday afternoon and because it was really hot hardly any of them still had their T-shirts on. We all ran onto the astro-turf in our white vest tops and short skirts, and of course the boys couldn't help but stop and stare at us. Thats when I noticed Jack, my ex-boyfriend.

"He's back," I wispered to my best friend Alice.

"Who's back?" She shouted. Alice really didn't get the point of being quiet.

"Jack, remember his parents took him out of school for six months to go on a world tour?" I said. I can't believe I remember that much about him, it's scary.

"Oh, you mean your ex?" She asked in that curious voice she has.

"Yeah, him. Now what do i do?" I was genuinely worried about what to do. It had been seven months since i'd last seen him and since we broke up, and i'd seen the pictures that he'd posted on Facebook. Most of them had this girl in them and they looked really close but I hadn't even looked at another boy in that way since we broke up.

"Ok, so here's what you do. Take you hair down and just act really flirty, i'll text alec and check he's ok with what you're gonna do." Alice always seemed to have the best ideas and so did Alec. Alec is Alice's twin brother and we get on really well, but what Alice said next blew my mind.

"And what am I going to do?" I asked.

"You're gonna kick the ball over there, go over to get it and then snog Alec."

"WHAT?!" I screamed, although he is quite fit so I didn't really mind.

"Just kiss him. Come on, I know you think he's cute so just do it." She was starting to sound angry so I thought i'd better just believe that it would work and agree to her stupid plan.

Time went on and it got to the middle of the lesson when Alice kicked me the ball.

"Go on, now's your chance." She looked at me and so I kicked the ball over to the boys side. Everybody, boys and girls, looked at me to see what I would do and so, me being me, I just casually ran over there my long brown wavy hair flying around in the wind like in one of those slow motion film clip things. When i got there Alec already had the ball under his foot and that is meant to make things easier but it kinda made things awkward. Thankfully, Alec knew what to do.

"You alright babe?" He said, picking up the ball and moving the two steps it took for him to be almost treding on my toes.

"Yeah, i'm ok thanks, just need the ball before the girls get all angry with me." I don't think that I was very convincing, but by then all of the boys, including Jack, were crowding around us and the girls were starting to do the same.

"Ok, but i want a kiss first." Alec was really good at this. He was so good that i was starting to believe our little story.

"Ok" I said as I leaned in for the kiss. He was an amazing kisser and I didn't want the kiss to end. I don't think he did either, but after about two minutes the teachers were starting to get closer so I thought we'd better stop. Our lips parted but we still had our foreheads touching and it was amazing until Alice said:

"Urrmmmm... Guys, I know that you're in love and all that but we have to finish our lesson."

"Oh yeah, sorry about that" Alec said, holding his head up and talking to everybody else. He put his forehead back on mine and wispered to me "I love you." It was perfect until Jack started to walk away.

What had I done this time?
