Annika stared at the floor wondering when this day would end. She just wanted to go home and curl up under covers. Steph had started high school in the fall at Powedersville High. She had walked into the school on her first day and saw a guy with curly blonde hair. He walked over and asked "Why are you so fat?" She was mortified and almost passed out then and there. She turned red and hurried out of the hallway into her first class. She almost cried then and there, but managed to calm herself. During the next thirty minutes, Steph sat and thought about what the boy had said. Obviously he was not going to be her friend and most likely going to bully her through the year. But she tried to have a positive outlook. But as her day continued it got worse. The boy she had discovered was named Adam. He was known for bullying the other students. She decided to stay far away from him. At lunch she was deciding where to sit when a boy with black emo hair and blue eyes. He had on a tight black t-shirt with black skinny jeans and black converse. Through his shirt she could see the outline of his body, he had a muscular chest with wide shoulders and shaped arms. She decided this school wasn't so bad after all. She watched as he walked over to a table and sat down there was no one else at the table so she walked over. She asked, "Is this seat taken?" Nick looked up when he heard that sweet voice, he saw the prettiest girl he'd ever seen. She had long brown hair and brown eyes, her body was curvy and she was about 5'2 in height. He was slightly stunned because normally girls like her didn't ask to sit with him. Normally he ate alone and silent, but no way was he going to tell her no. Nick replied "No." Annika sat down and was very nervous, she tried to eat but decided she wasn't very hungry so she decided to talk to this boy. Annika asked" What's your name?" Nick was surprised at her because she seemed shy but he was thrilled by the fact she wanted to talk to him. So he answered "Nick. What yours?" Nick hm….. Steph liked his name just like she liked him. She replied "Annika..." Nick liked her name and he also liked the sound of her voice. They talked through lunch and discovered they had history, English, and algebra together. They became close friends both secretly liking the other but not wanting to destroy their friendship. One hot spring day Nick and Annika were walking downtown and eating ice cream. Annika thought it was a beautiful day so she had worn a white tank top with jean shorts. Her hair was in a pony tail piled on her head. Nick was wearing his signature black shirt, pants, shoes. He was debating whther or not to take off his shirt he was really hot but he didn't want Annika to think he was trying to impress her. But the heat finally won out and her removed his shirt. Annika had been surprised when Nick took off his shirt but she understood he was hot. But the sight of his six pack made her want to move in closer and touch him. She had to catch herself she almost started drooling over him. Wow she liked him this way. Nick liked that she kept looking at him and he moved in a little closer. He put his arm around her shoulder like he normally did and heard her intake of breath. He immediately wanted to move his hand from her shoulder to her waist ,but trying to keep the normalcy between them kept it around her shoulders. Annika wanted him to put his hand around her waist so bad she reached her arm up and moved it slowly down her back to her waist.
