Jacob's P.O.V.
Ugh. It was a weekday, which meant that I needed to go to school. I felt tired and sleepy as my alarm went off buzzing into my ears. With heavy eyelids, I touched for my phone and it was so far away, which meant that I needed to get up and grab it.
"Shut up!" I yelled to my phone like it was going to make it stop. Grabbing my pillows, I shoved it onto my face to muffle the noise but it just ended up squishing my nose. I decided it was time to physically get up and move my lazy body off of the comfy, warm bed.
I turned the never ending annoying alarm off and went into the shower. I came out feeling so more awake and a little refreshed by the coolness of the liquid. Looking at myself in the mirror, I frowned causing my eyebrows to move toward each other.
My hair was a half wet, half dry, mess. Quickly, I got my hair gel and gently rubbed a small amount onto my fingers and moved my hair up into a small quiff. Satisfied, I grabbed a flannel threw that on with a pair of loose jeans and ran downstairs for my momma's breakfast.
"Hey sweetie, did you sleep well?"
"Um, not really... I'm super sleepy right now," I responded honestly trying to smile for her.
"Aw, Jacob, you need to sleep earlier!" why do parents always say that when you do sleep early enough? Was 10 not early?! I usually slep at 2 in the morning!
I just nodded and laughed grabbing the last box of Wheaties. My sister walked in with huge bags under her eyes looking tired.
She sat next to me grabbing the cereal. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and asked, "hey my lil sis, what's up?"
"Nothing, just tired. I slept so late last night because I couldn't fall asleep."
"Why's that?" mom asked concerned making toast for dad and herself.
"After doing loads of homework and drinking cups of coffee, obviously I couldn't fall asleep."
I laughed as she sighed and munched on her cereal dripping the milk on her chin. She jerked her head, and the milk went flying onto the kitchen counter. Forming a blob of whiteness right in front of the sink.
"Oh my god Sierra, ew!" I was practically crying and pushing her off the chair, she was laughing hysterically with me. Sierra took her phone out and took a picture probably to post or something.
"You guys are so funny. Ha, ha, ha," our mom sarcastically laughed. Which made us laugh even more because our momma wasn't the best at mimicking sarcasm.
"Stop laughing you two, hurry up and eat! You're going to be late for school!"
I checked my wrist and it was already 7:45!! Our school started at 8:15, so we needed to hurry. I gulped down my cereal, quickly tweeting a couple times to keep my fam up to date, brushed my teeth, sprayed cologne, and practically fell, while running out the door with Sierra right behind me.
"Oh no, I think we might be late!!" I sighed, it was 8:10 and our school wasn't the closest.
"It's okay, just calm down, and drive steadily, we don't want a speeding ticket," Sierra instructed. I don't even know how she stayed so calm, she was taking out her makeup bag and applying that girl stuff on her eyes.
Luckily, we got to school just on time right after the bell rang, so we fled out of the sloppily parked car and ran into our classes.
"Hey," I smiled at Bethany, sitting down and taking my things out on the spot she saved for me. We took English together. Out of luck again, the teacher was just unpacking her stuff too.
"Why were you late?" Beth asked quietly.
"It was not my kind of morning."
"Waking up? Cause me too. I had to roll off my bed, and bonus, I hit my head on my laptop while trying to get myself off the cozy marshmallow bundle."
"I was just tired from eating too much and watching Netflix until I fell asleep?!" I said my voice rising with my eyebrows.
"Class is starting now!" our teacher spoke sternly, giving us a evil glare. We both exchanged funny looks as she turned around, and tried our best to not laugh. Our English teacher wasn't the most beautiful face to stare at. Maybe you could call her a hybrid between a squashed pumpkin and a pigs butt, if you'd like me to describe it as best as I can.

"Oh my god, did you hear about the homecoming that's coming up soon?" said a girl passing by with her friend. Beth and I both heard, and crinkled our noses. We knew exactly who was going to be crowned king AGAIN. A senior named Nick was the schools hottie. He had the average likeable face with blond quiffed hair, nice abs (as the girls say it), designer clothes, a nice jawline, and of course your "favorite" blue eyes or whatever.
I mean, he's not my type of guy, but half of the female population in our school are head over heels for him. He's rich, good looking, and isn't your "dumb-hottie" he in fact, was smart, intelligent, and good at sports. Aka the teachers favs. Or maybe it was because he gave the female teachers Swarovski jewelry when it came to holidays, and for male teachers he gave them each like a $50 spending card for whatever they wanted.
"Hey Beth, do you want to go to homecoming with me?" I blurted out accidentally. I felt the heat coming up and I shouldn't of have asked. I knew Andrea wanted to go with me.
"I mean... if you don't want to, we don't have to. The 3 of us could just stay home and watch movies with popcorn or something. I bet Andrea will like-"
"Yes I will," I realized I was rambling, and felt embarrassed. Bethany was smiling at me, and I went for her hand. We intertwined, and I swear it felt like the missing puzzle that I always had, was finally put together as she squeezed playfully, giggling.
"Hey Andrea!" I smiled. Her hazel eyes stared at Beth and I's hands, but quickly she looked away. She looked hurt.
"Hey," she smiled her half smile. When she did that, I knew something was up. And I had a feeling why she was like that.
Andrea's P.O.V.
As soon as school ended, I denied Jacob's offer to drive me home, and decided to take the bus since I walked to school for a morning exercise this morning. I ran to the bus stop not waiting to take a breath and soon got home. I quickly said hi to my mom and tumbled up to my room.
I collapsed onto my bed and let all the tears that started to form fall. Getting a pillow I smashed it onto my face and cried into it. I didn't care if my makeup was getting all over it or not. Jacob meant a lot to me and I was wishing that he would ask me to homecoming, but by the looks of it, he probably already asked Bethany. I know that I flirted a bit with Michael at Tacobell the other day, but I didn't know Jacob would have feeling for Beth. I cried for what felt like hours over a guy.
Whenever we did movie nights together, I felt like we had a connection, but I guess I was all wrong. It's not Beth's fault obviously, because she probably didn't know, but I felt angry at the whole world. I guess this is how you feel when someone you've liked has feelings for someone else.
I heard a quiet knock on the door but I ignored it and kept sobbing into my pillow. My mom continually knocked on the door.
"Hey Andrea? Can I come in?" it wasn't my mom's voice by a long run. It was who I dreaded to see the most.
"Go away!" I yelled, though it was barely audible than a little murmur because of the pillow.
"Andrea! It's me Jacob."
Yup. I really didn't want to see him right now. "Please, go away! I'm doing something right now," I pleaded more audible this time.
"Well, I don't give a crap about what your doing in there, I'm coming in!" I heard the doorknob twist, and I quickly hid my face under my blankets and yelled, "Jacob, just leave me alone!!"
He didn't move away. He just seemed to be getting closer. Soon, I felt his weight pushing down on my soft bed. He took off his shoes and went under the blankets, where I was hiding. He was a little too tall, and the whole blanket lifted off. Acting on instinct, I covered my face with the pillow.
He giggled a little. Surprisingly, he put the blanket over us again. I mumbled to go away again, but I knew he wouldn't leave.
"Andrea," he spoke softly. I could feel the breath of his words beside me. "Are you crying because of me?"
Duh, I wasn't going to admit it so I lied, "you're such an idiot, of course I'm not crying over you, I'm crying because of this...uh... girl that made fun of me at school." I know it was horrible and no one had to tell me it.
"You know Andrea, you're not the best at lying."
He gently tugged at my pillow that was now almost suffocating me because I couldn't breathe. I gave up the fight because I knew there was no hiding from my best friend, he already knew. His soft, but big hands brushed my chin and he covered the blankets over us. He started to come closer and I could feel his steady breathing getting heavier the closer he got to me. I couldn't believe what he was about to do next.
