Alright, this is my new story! This chapter is a little rough, but don't worry, it WILL get better. I just don't like writing first chapters...

Review!
P.S. Next time I say to one of you that I want to start a new story, smack me.
Dani POV
"You couldn't be more wrong," I said, walking out of the classroom with Alex.
"Prove it," he demanded, raising his eyebrow at me.
"Crop circles form so many different ways! For example, fires, airplanes," I sighed, knowing this wouldn't sway his decision.
"It's aliens, just admit it," he said, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
"Just keep thinking that," I mumbled, patting his chest.
"Over here!" Jack called to us, standing next to an empty lunch table.
Alex and I walked over to it, and I sat down at the table, opening my binders.
"You always do homework at lunch," Jack grumbled, looking through my folders I had spread out on the table.
"That's because I wanna pass," I said, glaring at him and Alex.
"We're going to be rock stars, our grades don't mean anything," Jack shot back at me, smiling.
"I'm going to an actress, mine won't either," I replied, putting my reading glasses on.
"Hey," Rian greeted us, sitting down at the table.
"Hi, where are Zack and Kara?" I asked him, looking at the two empty seats at the table.
"Zack's in the principles office and Kara is coming," Rian pointed to the short blond girl, who was running over to our table.
"Hey!" Kara shouted at us, sitting in her chair. "How's your day going?"
I groaned, "teachers give me too much homework."
"You take advanced classes," Jack pointed out, reading some paper I wrote for my English class.
"I wanna drop out, it's my parents faults, talk to them," I said.
"Hey," Zack grumbled, sitting down.
"What's wrong?" Kara and I asked him, using our 'no nonsense' tones.
"School found out about the party last Friday, guess who has detention for a week?" Zack inquired, laying his head on the lunch table.
"I'm sorry," I murmured, rubbing his back.
"Oh well, I'm going to get lunch," Zack said, getting up. Everyone but Alex followed after him (but that's because Alex and I always shared my lunch)
"I haven't seen you in a while," Alex mumbled, biting into my apple.
"We see each other every day! We walk to school together, and we hang out after school every day together," I explained, wondering what he meant.
"No Dani, we're always with other people then," Alex sighed, handing me the apple.
"Oh, you mean you miss Wednesday nights?" I asked, laughing.
I had known Alex since 6th grade, because he moved next door to me. Ever since then, we always made Wednesdays nights 'our' nights. We would rent movies, go for walks or just hang in my room. It
was then we would tell each other how our week went, and rant about out shitty lives.
"Of course I miss them, I mean don't get me wrong, I love hanging with the band and Kara but…" Alex left the sentence hanging.
"I miss them too," I whispered, looking down at the table. "So, how about this Wednesday, we go for a walk?"
"Sounds good," Alex replied, taking a drink from my water.
"Good," I said, going back to my work.
"Okay so, I was thinking I could drive today," Jack announced, carrying a tray full of food.
Everyone else sat back down at the table, staring at Jack wide-eyed.
"No!" We all yelled, making everyone in the cafeteria look at us.
"Why not?" Jack asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Let's recap the last time we let you drive. You ran over a sprinkler head, you flipped off an old lady, and while making a sharp turn, you almost threw Dani and I out of the truck," Kara said, ticking the incidents off with her fingers.
"And I don't get another chance?" Jack inquired.
"No," Rian said, in his 'this is the final decision' tone.
"Whose house are we at today?" Zack asked.
"Um, mine, and before you ask, yes my dad will be home," I said, smirking at the guys.
"He hates us!" Alex screamed, throwing his hands in the air.
"And he hates you the most," Kara laughed, looking at Alex.
"Oh well, just don't talk to him," I said, rubbing his arm.
The bell rang, and I smiled. That meant it was time for my favorite class, drama. I wasn't kidding when I said that I was going to a famous actress, it's really what I what my career to be.
~!~
The rest of my day flew by, mostly because I was having too much fun in drama.
"Ready?" I asked Alex, closing his locker door for him.
"Yep," he replied, hooking his arm through mine.
Alex and I were strange. We both liked each other, and we both knew it. Hell, everyone we hung out with knew it. But neither of us wanted to date each other, knowing that someday we would have to break up. He wanted to be a rock star, and I wanted to be an actress. It just wouldn't work out.
We met Jack and Kara by their lockers, then walked out of the school, heading for Zack's beat up white pickup truck, knowing him and Rian would already be there.
Alex and I climbed into the bed of the truck, while Jack and Kara sat together inside the truck.
"Hey look! It's the emo freaks!" One of the cheerleaders shouted, pointing to us.
"I thought skinny jeans were for girls!" A jock, Aaron, yelled at the guys.
"Fuck you!" I screamed, flipping him off.
Zack started up the truck, before a fight broke out, and started speeding towards my house.
I shook my black angled bangs out of my eyes, and I leaned up against Alex.
"I have a new song for you to edit," he whispered in my ear, making me shiver.
"Awesome," I replied, giving him a high five.
Alex was in a band, along with Rian, Zack and Jack. They formed in 9th grade, calling themselves All Time Low, and ever since then I had been editing the songs they wrote. I have to admit it, they have talent.
Zack parked in my driveway, and I stood up on the side of the truck, jumping down onto the pavement.
When I walked into the house my dad was in the kitchen, cooking dinner. My bitch of a step- mom was sitting at the bar, looking through her Vogue magazine.
"Daniela!" My dad yelled, walking into the living room, "how are you?"
"Fine," I grumbled, starting to walk up the stairs to my room, everyone else followed.
I slammed my door shut and went to lay on my bed, snuggling into Alex's side.
Kara and Rian sat on the floor, holding hands, while Zack sat in my computer chair, and Jack sat at the foot of bed, laying across it.
This was how we hung out, sometimes we wouldn't talk, or sometimes we did. It depended on the day.
"Hey, we have a show Friday," Alex announced.
"Random," I mumbled, playing with his fingers.
"No, I meant you and Kara are coming, right?" He asked, looking hopeful.
"Of course," Kara sighed, "we always do."
"She's right," I agreed. Every single show the guys played we were there, I even went when I was sick.
"I have a play Thursday," I said, looking at the guys.
"What is it?" Jack inquired.
"Romeo and Juliet," I replied, blushing.
"Lemme guess, you're Juliet," Kara said, smirking at me.
"Yes," I sighed, "and I hate Romeo."
"Who's playing him?" Rian asked, looking concerned. Which is why I loved Rian, he looked out for all us, even if it was something as insignificant as this.
"Josh," I grumbled, thinking about the jock who teased us everyday for being 'emo', which we weren't. We just wore skinny jeans and band tees, apparently that classified us as 'emo' nowadays.
"We'll cheer you on, right guys?" Alex said, giving everyone his death glare.
"Of course!" Kara shouted, "we wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Thanks," I mumbled, laying my head on Alex's chest.
Rian's phone started ringing, and he checked the caller ID, "my mom. C'mon guys, let's go home."
"Alright, bye!" Jack yelled, running out of my room. Rian and Zack gave me hugs, and Kara kissed me on the cheek, then they left.
"Wanna eat at my place?" Alex asked, gently stroking my hair.
"Yeah," I replied, getting up.
Alex and I walked hand in hand down the stairs, and mumbling a goodbye to my parents, we left my house, crossing through my front lawn and into his.
