I walk into school with Naomi by my side, as students roam around. There are spider webs all over and students are all dressed up.
Today was Halloween. Our school took Halloween very seriously. They decorated the school, did a costume contest during first period, and gave all students a free day on campus after 3rd period. It was awesome.
I'm currently wearing a bright pink tutu with a bright pink shirt and black suspenders. The Nerd candy logo is printed on my shirt and I have my hair in two giant pig tails. Naomi is the same thing, but purple.
"Hey my cute nerd!" Luke grinned as he placed a soft kiss to Naomi's lips. She blushed slightly as everyone watched them, jealous of her. We walked down the hallway, students dressed up hustling around us.
"Hey Marc!!" I grin when I see him come into view. He smiled at me, wrapping his large arms around me.
"Can I talk to you?" He asks me. I nod, taking him to the theater department. I close the door as he runs a hand through his hair.
"What is it Marc?" I ask, taking his hands in mine. He looks up at me, his eyes filled with fear and pain.
"I need to break up with Haley." He states, a single tear streaming down his face. I freeze, not knowing how to react. I want to be happy that he won't be with her, but he was happy with her.
"Why?" I ask, wiping away the stray tear from his cheek. He tenses at the contact, as I pull away.
"I like someone Lynnie. Like a real crush." He states sadly. My heart lurches as he speaks, and I wrap him in a bone crushing hug.
"Okay. Then break up with her. Are you sure it's nothing else?" I ask unsure. I stops, before slowly nodding. I give him a weak smile, before kissing his cheek. As I pull away, his eyes are drifting over my body, and I'm suddenly extremely cautious of my appearance.
"You look adorable." He says, a small grin playing at his lips. I blush, tucking a stray piece of my hair behind my ear.
"Thanks." I say, leaving to room.
We all head to my locker, and Marcus parts from us as we pass Haley waiting at his locker for him. I give him a nod, as he takes a deep breath. We arrive, and I tune out Luke and Naomi being all cutsy, as I watch this go down.
MARCUS POV
"Hey baby!" Haley exclaims, capturing my lips in a kiss. I keep it short, determined on my plan.
"Haley, we need to talk." I say, scratching the back of my neck. She gives me a flirtatious smile, wrapping her arms around my neck, pressing her body against mine.
"What is it?" She whispers in my ear, before lightly biting my ear lobe. I shove her away, and confusion and hurt crosses her face.
"It's over Haley. We're over. This, is over." I state sternly, trying to get it into her thick skull. She freezes, before tears begin to stream down her face. She throws herself at me, desperately clinging to my shoulders. I roll my eyes as people begin to watch us.
"I love you Marky!! Don't leave me!!" She whines. I push her off of me, shaking my head. "Is it because of that nerdy bitch? Riley or something?" She asked disgusted. Anger bubbled inside of me, as I took a defensive stance, squaring my shoulders and taking a step forward,
"Don't. Ever. Speak of my Lynnie like that." I state, anger spilling from my voice. She shrinks back, nodding weakly, as Kayla Grace and Marie came racing to her aid.
"Never speak to her." Kayla stated, grabbing Haley by her arm.
"Ever again." Marie finished, as they ushered Haley down the hall. Grace gave me a cold glare as they disappeared into the crowd of students. I looked around at the students, dismissing them.
"Nothing to see! Go to class!" I exclaimed as everyone raced away. I looked down the hall to spot Raelynn's hazel eyes and light brown hair in the crowd. I smile made its way to my lips and my heart race sped up a bit. A reached her, and she hugged me tightly. My skin erupted into fire at her touch, but I hugged back equally as tight.

RAELYNN POV
"Ready to go Waldo?" Marcus asked me, as I grabbed my glasses. I nodded, smiling. I was over the moon knowing he wasn't dating Haley anymore, but it hurt my heart to know he liked someone else. But it also made me fly to think he may like me.
"Yes Marc." I chuckled, as he grabbed my arm pulling me from my room. We headed down stairs to see my mom sitting at the kitchen counter, her hair tied up.
"Mom, everything good?" I ask, she glances up at me, before nodding.
"Yeah. Go have fun." She dismisses. I frown, peeking at the papers. Rental forms. Huh.
"Come on Lynnie!! The party's already started!" Marcus whines. I laugh, rolling my eyes and taking his hand. Electricity spirals through me, but I simply ignore it.
We arrive at Lauren's house where the party is already in full swing. I slowly weave my way through the crowd, attempting to find Naomi. I can spot her bright pink bomber jacket and I race towards her. She sees me, and places her drink in Luke's hand.
"You look amazing!!" I compliment, and she grins, hugging me.
"You too!" She grins, pulling me to Luke. She takes her drink, taking a swig.
"Rae!!" Someone shouts. I turn to the sound of the voice to see Breanna coming towards me. I internally curse, because she shouldn't be here. Uncle Logan and Aunt Lindsey souls kill her. And me.
"Brea!! What on earth are you doing here?" I exclaim, grabbing her arm. She always slightly, clearly already had enough to drink.
"I came to get my mind off of hunter and hook up!" She slurs. I sigh, placing her on a seat beside me. Her shirt and tight cop outfit rods up to her upper thigh, and I groan. God, why did she come?
"Um. Okay. You will stay here with Luke and Nay while I find Lauren." I tell her. She nods, a care free smile on her face. "Hopefully she can lock you somewhere." I mutter to myself. I rush around, searching for Lauren when I run into Uncle Logan.
"Raelynn!" He exclaims over the music. I freeze, unaware of what to say.
"Hey Uncle Logan." I weakly wave. I runs a hand through his hair, quickly looking around. His button down shirt is unbuttoned in the top two and his hair is a tangled mess.
"Where is Breanna?" He states, lookin at me. I question if I should tell him the truth, or just hide her.
"Oh. She's um, babysitting for Naomi's little brother. Yeah, I thought she told you?" I say smoothly. He lets put a breath of air, before scanning the room once more.
"Thank you so much. Have fun!" He tells me before leaving. Well, looks like Breanna is spending the night with me.
Once I've given up looking for Lauren, I return and find Breanna in the same spot. She is quietly giggling to her self while swaying. Suddenly, a guy comes up behind me and starts grinding into me.
"Hey cutie. I'm not too good at this game, but I found you." He whispers down my ear. I look behind me and see and football player, one of Marcus's many friends. He has strawberry blonde hair and bright green eyes. His name is Lucas. I smirk, and decide to dance with him. I spot Marcus watching us with anger written in his face. I grin, and turn around so I can whisper in his ear.
"Let's take this up stairs." I whisper, as he smirks and takes my hand. He leads me up the spiraling stairs to an empty room. He immediately begins attacking my neck, as I go along. Soon enough, we're heading for the bed. I shove him in it, tapping his nose.
"That was too easy." I smirk, getting up. With his intoxicated state, it takes him a minute to process everything, but once he does, I've already left and locked the door.
I quickly find a bathroom and mess my hair up a bit, mess up my clothes, and slightly smear my lip stick.
This should fool Marcus.
I head down stairs, a gleeful grin on my face. I find Marcus leaning on the counter, staring of into space. I quickly grab another drink, taking a swig. He looks down at me, then back into space.
"Lucas. Huh." He states quickly. I nod, happy I tricked him.
We sit in silence for a moment before he quickly grabs my hand and pulls me outside. He pulls me into the car and begins driving.
"Marcus! Where are we going!" I exclaim. He doesn't say anything or move, just drives. I let out a frustrated breath of air leaning back.
Eventually we arrive at a cliff, and he turns off the car and leans back.
"Marc. Is everything okay?" I ask, touching his arm. He shakes his head, running a hand through his blonde hair.
"No! It's not okay!" He exclaimed climbing from the car. I follow him, grabbing his arm making him face me.
"Marcus DeYoung!! Tell me now!" I yell, searching his brown eyes. They tell me nothing. They are only filled with anger.
"Why? Why Lynnie? Why?" He repeats. I freeze, looking at him. "Why Lucas? Why did you loose your first kiss to HIM? Why'd you lose your VIRGINITY to HIM?" He asks desperate. I let out a breath, taking his face in my hands.
"I never lost my first kiss. And definitely not my virginity. It was a trick." I whisper, playing with his baby hairs on the sides. He stares into my hazel eyes, before leaning in.
"And this is my treat." He whispers before placing a tender kiss to my lips. I freeze, my body going numb. Fireworks erupted in my stomach and a electricity spiraled through me. His lips were so soft on mine, as I just stood there.
Is this happening? Am I kissing Marcus right now? No way.
"Lynnie? Raelynn?" Marcus kept saying. I shook my head, the world coming in around me. We were still at the party, everyone dancing around us.
Did I imagine all of that? Really?
