Chapter One
I Want a Guy Who….
I love Jake Puckerman. I really do. It's just that sometimes I have to continually remind myself of that. It's not that he's a bad boyfriend, because he really isn't, it's the fact that he's clueless. He doesn't know what I want or what I need to hear. Hell, he doesn't even know what hewants.
The sound of giggling coming from across the table interrupted my thoughts. When you have a best friend who has the perfect boyfriend, it really makes you realize the faults of your own boyfriend. I had to look away to refrain from rolling my eyes.
"Stop it. I do not!" Marley giggled and hit the boy's chest who was sitting next to her.
Marley Rose: Preppy 16-year-old girl who plays volleyball and softball while also currently holding the positions of lead of the musical and vice president of the class. She is of course my best friend in the whole world.
"But it's true." Ryder Lynn teased and pointed to some invisible substance on Marley's face.
Ryder Lynn: King of McKinley High who is currently playing football and is captain of the basketball team while holding the position of lead in the musical. He is of course my best friend's boyfriend, which means that he is unfortunately notmine.
"Kitty, do I have something on my face?" Marley asked pulling my attention away from my thoughts. I sighed as I looked at my friends face.
"No, no. You're good." She turned only to stick her tongue out at Ryder, who smiled in return.
"Listen Kitty. Tonight I need to get my hair cut again. My hair looks awful. Do you want to come?" I considered her offer sorting out everything I had to do today in my head.
"What are you talking about?" I looked at Ryder who spoke up after taking a bite of his sandwich.
"It's called a haircut. You should try it sometime." Sam teased from next to Ryder.
"Yeah, look who's talking." Ryder responded turning to Sam.
"Hey! My hair is naturally curly. Give me a break." Sam said as he self-consciously reached up to touch his hair.
"As I was saying," Marley paused dramatically to emphasize that she was the one talking now. "Are you coming tonight?"
"I still don't understand why you need a haircut." Ryder blurted out obviously confused.
"Ryder, it's not a hard concept to understand." Sam said spoke again. "People get their haircut."
"I was talking to Marley." Ryder said still looking at Marley.
"Well, I have split ends and my roots are showing and I just look ugly." I was still deciding whether or not I could squeeze in a hair appointment.
"You don't look ugly. You're beautiful." Ryder replied while Marley responded with a smile and a kiss.
"I know what you mean. I hate my hair." I said in an attempt to get them to separate. When I realized I was unsuccessful I turned to Jake. "Don't you think?"
"Nah. You look hot." Jake replied with a mouth full of spaghetti. I groaned and got up from the table as left the cafeteria as fast as possible. I could hear Jake asking everyone what he did wrong and Ryder and Sam's weak explanations. I didn't dare turn around though, I just kept walking.
I want a guy who calls me beautiful instead of hot.
This is only going to have 10 chapters and it's prewritten so it'll be updated pretty quick. In case you didn't notice, they'll be told in Kitty's point of view but will focus mainly on Ryder and Marley. Most of the chapters will be short. :)
Happy Holidays!
