I parked in front of our school. I undid my seatbelt, opened my door, and started to get out. I noticed that Jackson wasn't moving. I sat back down and rubbed him arm comfortingly. He looked at me with worry on his face and I gave him a sympathetic smile. You could see in his eyes how afraid he was to go back to school; I truly felt sorry for my twin. He sighed, patted my hand that was still wresting on his arm, and got out of the car. I stepped out after him and ran to his side of the car.

He held his arms open for a hug. I ran into them and reassured him, "Everything is going to be alright, you're a good kid, Jackson." He looked down at me and smirked. "You need a boyfriend, Demi."  I chuckled, lightly slapping his arm, and started walking towards the glass doors of Huntington Beach Highschool.

We got our schedules and, as I presumed, Jackson became popular right away. I'm not going to lie, my brother is very handsome. His tattoos are a plus since we're only 17; all the girls want him. Its a bit annoying, since he has girls over all the time, and I never have anyone. I was always stuck wondering why I'm the 'loser twin'. I don't think I was any less beautiful from other girls, maybe it was because of my long turquoise hair? Yet, my brothers is just a lighter shade.

I was scrambling around searching for my second class, which was Mr.Hopkins for Science. I took one second to look back at my schedule for the door number and ran into something. That something was a someone. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry, dear! Here!" The 'someone' held out his hand and I grabbed it. He pulled me to my feet and dusted off my shoulders and skirt.

"There we go, she's beautiful once more!" He almost yelled, while looking me over. I felt my face grow hot and just stood there, awkwardly staring at his eyes. They we're a beautiful blue, and almost mesmerising. I held out my schedule to him and his smile spread wider. "I have this class next! I'll be your tour guide, what's your name, pretty thing?"

I blushed yet again and pointed to the name on my schedule. He nodded with a smile and held out his arm, which I gladly stuck mine through. He then led me down the corridor to out next class.

We were almost late and we got a stern look from Mr. Hopkins. He told us to have a seat and we did, at the very back of the classroom. What is your name, Mr. Somebody? I yearned to know, but I wasn't going to ask yet, I couldn't risk talking and getting in trouble on my first day. I let put a small sigh as Mr. Hopkins went over the rules of the school and whatever else. I started to zone out when I saw a paper land on my desk.

Hey Beautiful, I'm James by the way, but I go by Jimmy! I know you're name is Demetria and its a wonderful name, but can I call you Demi? I looked over your schedule again and found that we have a few classes together! Oh, and are we friends?

I read the note with a huge smile on my face. I wrote back:

Jimmy, feel free to call me Demi or whatever else! I'm very exited now, I get to see my mystery boy more than I thought! I'd love to be friends, you're really cute by the way, so don't mind if I stare!

I tossed the note back on his desk and he sent me a smile. He opened it and pumped a fist in the air. Mr. Hopkins saw him and gave him a strange look, Jimmy just smiled and waved. A girl sitting next to me raised her hand. Mr. Hopkins pointed to her and she said in a snobby tone, "Mr. Hopkins, they're passing notes! James and the new girl!"

I gave the girl a death glare when Mr. Hopkins asked me, "Ms. Collingwood, is this true?" I nodded my head in a pout and he gestured for me to walk up to his desk. I did so and he sat me down in a seat right next to it. "This shall be your seat for the day, since you cannot behave, Ms. Collingwood." I scoffed angerly and my face grew a shade of pink from embarrassment.

The next few classes went smoothly. I met a boy in the period I didn't have Jimmy. His name was Matt and I fell for his smile and dimples right away. He was super sweet and knew Jimmy. He and I walked to lunch together, and met up with Jimmy and a few other guys.I was greeted with a smile by each of them, except for one. That one was Jimmy.

Matt had his arm wrapped around my waist and I had thought nothing of it. Jimmy had a sad look on his face and ran away towards the bleachers. "Matt, what's up with Jimmy? What'd I do?" Matt gave me a sad smile and told me to go after him. I did what I was told, even though I was going to anyways. I reached the bleachers and walked under them, it was dark and cool, today was nice an overcast.

"Jimmy? Jimmy where are you, are you okay?" I whisper yelled. I'm not sure why I whispered it, I felt almost as if I was going to wake the dead. I heard light sniffling to my left and I ran that way. I found him sitting in the shadows with his knees up to his cheast and his head resting on them. I put a hand on his knee and sat down next to him, he didn't pick his head up. He didn't say anything either, just sniffled again.

"Hey Jimmy, are you alright, dear?" I started calling him dear since that's what he called me when we first met that morning. He shook his head 'no' yet still didn't pick it up. I grabbed him lightly by his chin and lifted his head up to face me. His eyes were puffy and red. I gave him a huge hug and rubbed his back. He hugged me back and rested his head on my shoulder.

"Jimmy, please tell me what's wrong!" I pleaded softly. He pulled away to look at me. "Demi, I like you. I would love to get to know you better and I would love for us to be more than friends. But when I saw you with Matt...it kind of broke my heart. He always gets the girls, he's better looking and has dimples to die for." He chuckled sadly at that part.

"Oh..James, I like you too, we really should get to know each other more! Nothing's going on between Matt and I. I didn't think anything of it when he had his arm around my waist. See, I've never had a boyfriend...I'm even a kiss virgin...so I'm not used to, and I don't know all the signs that a guy likes me." He nodded and I wiped a tear that started to trickle down his cheek. "I've had a girlfriend...she broke up with me on the second week. S-she chose Matt over me..."

You poor thing! I pulled him into another hug. When I pulled away, he looked straight into my eyes. He started to lean in slowly, I followed. Our lips just touched when I head a wolf whistle and a "y'all look hot, woo!" We pulled away quickly, we didn't even get to kiss, just a light brush of the lips.

"You mother fuckers!" Jimmy yelled in frustration. I rolled my eyes and chuckled. Matt ran up to us, picked me up, threw me over his shoulder, and yelled "Jimbo, if you want your girlfriend back, you better come catch her!" I giggled a bunch and yelled "girlfriend?!"

Jimmy got up, wiped his tears, and ran after us yelling, "gimme back my girlfriend Matthew Sanders!!" With a huge smile on his lovely face.
