Chapter 1
"Ok, here goes nothing." Oh, how rude of me. I haven't introduced myself. Anyway, I'm 14-year old Dylan Ruckett. I've really liked this girl, Jasmine Lotus for about a year in a half or so. I've finally built up the courage to ask her out, and I had the support of all my friends. However, my best friend, Haley Koper acted really weird when I told her about it. Oh well. "Hey Jasmine?" She turned around and stared at me with her emerald green eyes. Dang, she was BEAUTIFUL! I almost froze up, but I stood my ground. I was determined to do this. "Do you wanna go out sometime?" She responded, "Yeah, sounds good," then she took out a piece of paper, wrote her number on it, and handed it to me. "Does Saturday at 1:00 sound good?" "Yeah, I'm good with that." "K, see ya later." She walked off as I stood there, jaw dropped like an idiot, as I stared at the paper in my hands. I was hypnotized. The bell broke my trance and I hurried to the last class of the day. Later, on the bus, I sat next to Haley. "Hey Haley," I said to her. She continued to stare out the window. "Haley, you okay?" I turned her around to see a really sad look on her face. "What's wrong?" "Oh, nothing," she responded nonchalantly. "I heard you're going out with Jasmine this Saturday. Congratulations." I was shocked. "Wow, did the news spread that fast?" "Yeah, guess so," she said with a weak laugh. We both sat there in silence the rest of the way home. I got home when I made a realization. Oh crap! How could this be? I couldn't believe it… It's only Tuesday! I'd have to wait 3 days until the date! Wait, I had her number! I got out my phone and texted her. What r u doing? I texted her a couple minutes later, I got a response. Homework. You? I texted-Same. Can't wait 'til Saturday ;) I got a text from Haley. What's up? I ignored her and continued to text Jasmine for the rest of the night.
