Chapter One " Give Me A Sign"

Jennifer Mosley walked out her front door. It was the first day of summer, meaning no school, no volleyball, and a lot less drama. Or so she thought....

'I just got out of eleventh grade, why in the world would I be thinking about my senior year when it's summer!? I must be going.... Oh! Ned! Come here cutie!" said a confused Moze. Yes, that's her nickname that almost everyone calls her. She's never been too fond of it, but she liked how her best friend Ned Bigby thought of it. Moze and Ned have been best friends since they were in diapers, considering they were neighbors and in the same grade. And ever since the 'Around The World' dance at the end of seventh grade, she was in absolute love with him.

"What is it my dearest Moze" Ned said as he approached her in his yellow tank top and lime green shorts (Boy, could this guy dress! But hey that's alright with Moze) The two hugged, and for some odd reason, Moze blushed. Ned looked at her with his head tilted and confused. "Um, you okay over here?" he said. "Oh nothing, just a little hot, you know?" Moze responded. With a smirk Ned replied, "Yes, yes you are." The two looked at the ground, and Ned looked up. They leaned in to kiss, and then all of a sudden, a phone rang. It was Ned's phone. And it was his long time girlfriend, Susie Crabgrass. "It's Susie, I have to take this." he said, looking somewhat unsatisfied. "Obviously. How come we like NEVER hangout anymore Mr. Bigby?" Moze replied, looking quite pissed. Ned shook his head, opened his phone, and stumbled away.

With tears in her eyes, Moze ran into her room. She bawled, something the rough and tough Jennifer Mosley doesn't do too often, with the exception of Ned. She would cry every night over her best friend whom she wanted to be an "item" with for so many long years. Her nightstand was overflowing with pictures of Ned and herself. As babies, first day of kindergarten, fifth grade graduation, first day of middle school, and a lot of pictures throughout middle & high school. Memories she will hold onto forever, and never forget.

How can I survive without Ned, even if he is with that, that thing called Susie Crabgrass. I sound like such a child, but its the truth. Moze kept thinking to herself more and more. I'm like a kid with a toy, she thought, I want Ned so badly, but I can't have him the way I want him... Yet... Why is my life so complicated? Should I give up or should I just keep on chasing him? We almost kissed for crying out loud almost an hour ago! Give me a sign! Someone, something! Maybe he's on his laptop, I'm going to sign onto my instant messenger, maybe, no hopefully, he'll be on.

TheGuidedKid808 has logged on. "Yes! He's on!" Moze screeched, hoping no one heard her.

XoJAMxO7: Hey Ned! Where'd you go earlier?

TheGuidedKid808: Oh, Hey Moze. I was just in my room..... Crying...

XoJAMxO7: WHAT! Why best friend, are you alright?

TheGuidedKid808: No, well I don't know. I broke up with Susie when she called.

XoJAMxO7: Oh, I'm uh sorry Ned.... Wanna come over to talk?

TheGuidedKid808: Sure, why not. I'll be over in a sec. Bye Moze. 3 :-]

XoJAMxO7: Okay, bye Neddie 3 (:

Could it be? Well, I hope so.
