Author's Note: Hello! Here is a new story for you all to read. What I've decided to do was scrap some other fanfics that I hadn't worked on and take ideas from those stories and change some things for this new story. I hope you all enjoy this new one!

Prologue:

She never thought she'd see him in the predicament but here she was looking at him with a solemn look on her face as she watched him approach her slowly.

He never thought he'd see her in that very place he never wanted her to step into but here he was looking back at her with an equally solemn look on his face as he approached her slowly.

He slowly took a seat on the cold metal chair that had awaited him and looked at the woman looking at him through the glass that had separated them from being able to touch each other. He watched as the woman whose heart he broke pick up the phone and place it to her ear while she waited for him to do the same as they needed to speak to each other. Lifting one hand up, he grabs the black telephone that had been hanging up and placed it to his ear so he could hear the sweet voice of his beloved.

"Hey," she said.

"Hey," he replied back.

It was a hot day in the neighborhood as Jon rode his bike down the street along with his friends who were right around him as they whizzed by the houses on the street as if they were competing in the Olympics and competing for gold. They all had stopped by his house to get Caprisuns to drink as they were all parched and needed something to hydrate themselves again. He hopped off his bike and went into his house to grab some refreshments including chips for his friends and brought them outside for them to eat while they rested for a while on Jon's porch.

Jon had scarfed down his chips along with his Caprisun to help wash it down and sat back on the steps as he saw a U-Haul truck pull up to a house that had been for sell for awhile and watched as some people got out of the truck. A young girl about his age had hopped out of the truck as well, made her way to the entrance of the house, and waited for her parents to unlock the door so she could run inside. He had been mesmerized by the girl to the point where he almost didn't hear his friends calling out his name to get his attention.

"Jon! Jon!" one of his friends said. "Let's go riding again!"

"Oh, okay."

The next day at school Jon had sat in his usual spot towards the back of the classroom and casually waited for the bell to ring to start the day. His teacher had begun to take attendance when the last student had finally entered into the classroom but stopped when the door had opened again and in came the very girl that Jon had saw the previous day. She had shoulder length dark brown hair, gorgeous smooth skin, was short and petite, and had a smile that could light up a room which is what it was doing when she introduced herself to the teacher.

"Hello, there. What is your name?" the teacher asked the girl.

"Renee. I'm Renee Paquette," the girl responded.

The teacher scribbled down her name on the attendance sheet and introduced her to the class then told her she could sit down anywhere in the class and the seat that had had happen to choose was the one next to Jon. He could feel himself blushing as she sat down next to him but mustered up enough courage to say hi as he didn't want to be rude to her.

"Hey, I'm Jon," he said. By this time, he had sat straight up in his seat and extended his hand out to her.

"I'm Renee. How are you today?"

"I'm fine…welcome to class."

"Thank you."

Jon smiled as he shook the new girl's soft hand then sat back in his seat as he didn't know what else to say to the girl as he was shy. He had never felt this way about any girl before but this girl was different as she carried herself like a mature young lady, and on top of that, she was very kind to him which made him continue to smile on the inside as he turned to pay attention to the teacher.

Renee had gotten acquainted with some of the students at the school but unfortunately there had been one boy that decided he was going to bully her. One day, she had been searching for her English book in her locker when a boy slammed the door shut and almost smashed her fingers when he did so.

"New girl, huh?" he said.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"I should ask you the same thing. And you sound funny. Where are you from?" the bully asked.

"I'm from Canada."

"Well, you need to go back there because your kind isn't welcome here!"

Jon had overheard the commotion going on as he was about to walk into his English class but stopped when he saw what was happening and charged towards the bully. When he pushed the bully from behind, everyone in the hallway immediately stopped to see the spectacle that was going down between the two boys. Despite the bully being an inch taller than Jon, that didn't phase him as he looked him square in his eyes and waited for him to make his next move.

"Don't you mess with her," Jon said angrily. "Leave her alone!"

"Why? Is she your little girlfriend!?"

"Yes, she is and I want you to leave my girlfriend alone or I'll break your damn nose."

A low "Ooohh…" escaped the mouths of some of the students surrounding them as they wondered what the bully would do next. The bully clinched his teeth but didn't say anything else as he walked away and pushed through some students in the hallway before disappearing out of the building altogether. The students that were watching the entire scene finally dispersed and went on to class as the bell rung for school to start but Jon had stayed behind to make sure Renee was okay.

"You alright?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay." She pushed her hair back then looked at the floor. "Thank you for standing up for me."

"It's all good. You can use my English book in class," he said.

"Thanks."

"No problem. Do you want me to walk you home after school?"

"I'd appreciate that."

Jon had kept an eye out for Renee for the rest of the entire day and kept his promise to her when he walked her to her home after school had ended and they spent this time getting to know one another. Jon listened to Renee tell him how she had just moved to Cincinnati from Canada with her mother and stepfather, her stepfather being originally from Ohio, and how she didn't want to leave Canada but figured that since she wasn't too far from her home country, then it wouldn't be too bad. She told Jon that she was thirteen and had a birthday coming up soon which Jon took a mental note of and told her that he was the same age as her but his birthday was three months after hers.

Renee had been a bit shocked when Jon had pointed out his house when they got to their neighborhood as she didn't know that he had lived nearby.

"Oh my goodness! I'm literally a few houses away from you but of course my house is on the other side of the street!" she said.

"Yup. I had saw you and your family a week ago when I was sitting on my porch. I just didn't know you'd go to my school," Jon said.

"Well, school shouldn't be a problem now that you stood up for me against that bully." When her and Jon had reached her house, she smiled at him. "Thank you again, Jon."

"No problem, Renee. And I love your accent, too. You can stay here as long as you want to."

"Thank you for those kind words and thank you for walking me home."

"You're welcome. I'll see you tomorrow, Renee."

"See ya."

Jon watched as Renee made her way up the sidewalk and into her house, waved at her once more, then turned and went back down the street to his home.
