*****************

I adjust my hood and pull it a little closer to my face hoping he won't notice me.

I start walking by fast so this could finally be over, but I am Taylor Milburn, I have the best luck in the world!

"Taylor?!"

I told you. I know my luck.

"Tay it's me!" He starts walking towards me.

God. How could he just come and say hi like nothing has happened?!

I start running. Now you could laugh at me, but I'm not ready to face him yet. I'm not ready to talk to him.

Last time I've heard, he has moved out of town. And now he's suddenly back?

I cross the street even though there were loads of cars passing, hearing them honk.. but I don't really care.

"Oh Taylor come on!!" He yells after me.

I make it to the other side of the street.

Suddenly a black Ford Mustang parks right next to me.

"Seems like you're in trouble." The window opens to reveal MASON KING who has a huge smirk on his face.

"Are you following me?!"

"You wish babe. I'm offering you a ride. Or an escape from that guy." He looks at James.

"I don't need your help!"

The lights turn green and James starts crossing the street.

"Or you know what? I've changed my mind!" I prepare myself to run towards the door on the other side when suddenly he grabs my hand.

"Uh-uh, not so fast! First, tell me that you want to work with me on the chemistry project."

"What? No! I already told you I'm working with Bill!"

"Want a ride or not?"

James has finally crossed the street and he's heading towards me now.

"Okay, okay! Fine!"

I quickly get in and we drive off.

I release a sigh of relief.

"So, you gonna tell me who that is?"

"No."

"Why? Is he your boyfriend?" He says sarcastically.

"I don't want to talk about it."

I see his facial expressions change from sarcastic to blank.

"Okay then." He says.

I kinda appreciate it that he didn't insist.

"So about that chemistry project.."

"What about it?" He asks.

"When do you want to start?"

"Well as long as it doesn't interrupt my fun, I don't really care."

"You're disgusting."

"You love me." He smirks confidently.

"You really that desperate for someone to love you?"

Oooooooooooooh go Tay-Tay!!!!

"Ouch."

"You should've known better not to mess with the queen." I say proudly.

"The queen who was ready to do anything for me to give her a ride a few minutes ago?"

"Says the guy who was literally BEGGING me to partner up with him!"

"I should've left you with that blondie."

"You know what! I don't need your help! Stop the car."

"Are you sure?" He laughs. "It's pouring outside."

"I'm sure."

He pulls over, I put my hood on, I get out and I start running in the rain.

"You're welcome!!" He yells after me.

I get home dripping wet, and I realize that all of this was for nothing. I DIDN'T BUY ANYTHING AFTER ALL.

I decide that the best solution is to order some pizza.

***************

SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIITTTTTTT.

I am late for school and I don't wanna get in trouble since it's the start of the year.

I wear the first thing I see in my closet, I put my hair in a REALLY messy bun, I stuff a donut in my mouth and run as fast as I can to my car. I'm actually used to this happening so I can describe myself as a pretty good multi-tasker. One hand on the wheel, the other trying to put some chapstick on my crusty lips while I try my best to swallow that huge donut I put into my mouth.

I drive off not paying attention to the speed limit because I have no time for that shit right now.

The road is clear- thank god- so I'm lucky enough to make it exactly five minutes before the bell rings. But unfortunately, that happiness that only lasted for a minute has to end now when I realize that the parking lot is full. I keep on going around praying to find an empty space when god answers my prayers. There is one empty space not that far away from me, I rush to it and BOOOOOMMM!!

I accidentally hit a very pink car. It takes me a second to realize that it's RACHEL MONTGOMERY'S FREAKING CAR.

I park as fast as I can and rush out of my car to check the damage that I've caused. I look at Rachel's car to find that the perfect pink paint is all scraped now from the back.

OH MY GOD. Rachel is literally gonna slaughter me while I'm sleeping and then have a barbecue party!!!!!

Haven't I told you about Rachel yet?

Miss pinky. Yes. She's exactly what you're thinking right now that I don't even have to explain it.

The car's alarm goes off and it is REAL loud.

I'm freaking out and I really don't know what to do, considering that I am not really in the mood to face miss pinky today. I take out my wallet quickly from my backpack and put 100 dollars on Rachel's window. And guess what I decide to do next?

RUN.

I run into the building before anyone sees me.

Uh-oh. I suddenly stop when I see Rachel walking quickly in the opposite direction looking very mad.

Oh god. What have I gotten myself into?!

I notice a door right next to me and I quickly get it without even thinking. I shut the door behind me and lean against it as if someone's gonna try to push it from the other side.

I finally allow myself to take a deep breath in as I didn't really realize I was holding it.
*sigh* " Now that was real close!" I tell myself.

I smile proudly as I turn around an— "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

OH. MY. GOD.

THERE ARE A BUNCH OF HALF NAKED GUYS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!!!!

I probably let an extra amount of oxygen into my lungs as a result of the shock and I start coughing loudly and continuously.

And it finally hit me, I am in the boys washroom.

Now all I can hear is laughing.

I notice Mason in the corner with his friends- Caleb and Brandon, laughing their asses off.

"You need some water, beautiful?" Some guy yells from the back. I couldn't really notice who he is because there are like 20 guys in front of me now, all laughing at my face.

I gotta get out of here as fast as possible!!

I immediately run back to the hallway and slam the door roughly behind me.

I feel my face burning as I lean on my knees in order to catch my breath.

How can this day get any shittier?!?!

Now there is this one lucky thing that I had today, and it's that Rachel didn't see me. Phew.

**********

Classes have passed by quickly, luckily none of the teachers really minded that I was late.
And now it's time for lunch break.

Now since I do not have any friends to sit with, I always get food from the cafeteria and then go eat it outside in the schoolyard. And that's exactly what I'm doing today, except that now I have to avoid eye contact with any male human being.

I don't really mind eating alone. It used to bother me at the beginning, but now I think of it as something that I look up to since the beginning of the day. It's really nice and peaceful. And the best thing is that no one even bothers to annoy me.

So I sit alone everyday, I eat my lunch quietly and read a book or listen to some good music unlike the annoying ones they play at parties.

Today, I was looking forward to continue reading this book that I am addicted to. So I couldn't wait for lunch break.

You can go on and call me a nerd if you want. I don't really care. I found that being a nerd is so much more better and a lot less dramatic than being popular.

I make my way to the schoolyard feeling the chilly air on my face, I put on my hood and head to the bench that I usually sit on, I take out my book from my bag and I take a moment to admire the fresh air that I haven't been able to get since the start of the day. Finally I can relax now. I start reading and reading, and I get carried away that I forget all of my surroundings and get deep into the story, Until I feel a tap on my shoulder.

Now my imaginary world that's full of magic has disappeared to bring me back to reality.

I turn around to see a very handsome man. It's Caleb. Mason's friend that I've seen half naked this morning.

I suddenly feel blood rushing to my cheeks.

"Hey! You're the washroom girl, right?" He smiles at me.

"I guess I am. Taylor." I blush.

"Caleb." He shakes my hand gently.

"I just wanted you to know that you have made my day today! I was in a really bad mood and you changed it the moment you entered the washroom." He laughs.

"Well I'm glad I could make your day. Now I need someone to make mine! I have embarrassed myself like thousands of times the past few days." I sigh.

"Clumsy is cute." He winks at me.

Caleb is a very good looking man. With his dirty blond hair and his deep blue eyes. His body is perfectly toned. And now I have discovered that this is not just an outside beauty, he is also a very sweet human being. So that makes him kinda perfect.

"So where are your friends?" I ask him.

"Soccer practice. Big game today."

"Aren't you on the team?"

"I am. I just thought I should come and say hi."

Again with that charming smile..

"So you should come and watch! I mean, if you want to?"

"Maybe I'll come for a while." Words came out of my mouth without even thinking.

"Great! Then I'll see you on the field!" He waves at me and walks away.

What. Has. Just. Happened.

I got noticed by a golden boy!

He is very sweet and charming and oh my god. When's our wedding?

I can't wait to watch this fine man sweating his ass off on the field.
