Be My Valentine

Chapter 1

Present Day….

It was a sunny, chilly Febuary morning in the town of Pineberg. Two high school freshmen named John Ashford and Jenny Aldridge were walking down the street to the local high school whose name no one could pronounce so they just called it "Hell"

"So did you finish that book report yet?" asked Jenny,

"Nope" said John simply.

Jenny gave him an evil look and said," You do know its due on Valentines Day right which is in two days?". John grinned at her and said "Yeah I know, but I kinda want this Valentines Day to be just right for Adrianna." At these words Jenny went into a silence.

"What's up?" asked John, "Nothing" said Jenny; "Just thinking back to the day we met". John grinned nostalgically and thought back to the time when they had met.

9 years ago…

Five –year old John Ashford was walking down the street by himself, bored out of his mind waiting for something to happen. As if on cue a ball flew out of nowhere and nearly hit him on the head. "Ah!" he yelled, he looked around to where the ball came from. A girl with beautiful long dark red hair came running toward him.

"Hewwo!" Have you seen a ball around here?" She asked looking around for the ball. "Um yes it went over there," said John pointing toward the balls place in the bush. The girl went to go get the ball and when she came back she said, "Do you want to play?". He looked at her and said "Okay, I have been very bored because my Mummy and Daddy are out of town and have a babysitter looking after me". She looked at him and said" Me too, none of the other kids wanna play with me." He smiled and said; "My name is John Ashford" She smiled and said,"Mine is Jenny Aldridge."

All of a sudden she said "Friends?" John smiled a huge smile and said 'Friends" They both walked off to play soccer, or at least kick the ball.
