Chapter 1

"I love you Marley" Brock said, in his deep sexy voice. He grabbed my hands and looked deep in my eyes. He leaned in--- BEEP BEEP!! Ugh! Stupid alarm clocks ruin everything. I had the perfect dream going about my high school crush and it woke me up. I hit the off button on my alarm, pulled my self out of bed, walked into my bathroom and started to get ready for school.

I got out of the shower twenty minutes later when I heard my phone go off. I walked over to my bed and picked it up. Luna.

"Hello?" I said.

"Marley! Good morning." She said in a sing-song way.

"Luna! What do you want? I have to get ready for school."

"Well, I wanted to know if you could pick me up for school today."

"Umm, okay? Sure. Bye"

"Bye"

That was Luna, my best friend. She was always in a cherry mood. I shook my head and walked into my closet, picked out and outfit and got dressed. I walked downstairs, grabbed a cereal bar, my bag, and my keys. I walked out to my car. I loved my car. It was a cherry red mustang. I got in and drove to Luna's house. I loved driving to Luna's, it was an adventure. Luna lived with her grandparents, in an old Victorian house. It was surrounded by trees. It looked beautiful in the fall, but it was winter and so everything was covered in a light snow. I pulled into the long drive that led to the house. When I pulled up the house, Luna came out and hopped in.

"You ready for another long day of boring school?" she asked

"Totally!" I said sarcastically "not"

She laughed

When we got to school, I parked in the student parking lot. I couldn't wait for next year. My senior year, then I could be done and leave this small town. We got out of my car, grabbed our stuff and started walking towards the door.

"Hey Marley, Hey Luna" Steve said as he walked over to us.

"Hey Steve" I said, continuing walking.

"Hey Steve!" Luna said as she grabbed his hand and they started walking.

Steve and Luna had been dating for about 5 months. They were so cute together. I opened the school doors, to get a blast of warm air. I walked to my locker, leaving Luna and Steve behind. I got my books and walked to homeroom. Mrs. Nelson's class was full of boys throwing paper airplanes and girls gossiping. I walked to my seat and sat down. I got a tap on my shoulder, so I turned around.

"Hi, I'm new here" the guy said.

"Hey, I'm Marley, Marley Miller" I said back. He was totally cute.

"Hi Marley, I'm Scott Hawthorne" He smiled

. "So where did you come from Scott?"

"Oh, I came from Ohio."

"Sweet, but why did you come to boring old Plymouth?" I said

"Parent's work." He said

"Oh that sucks. I've never lived anywhere else but here. A lot of people from here are from Plymouth, haven't moved or anything"

"Really?"

"Yeah, people will go off to college, but they always come back to live here" I rolled my eyes and smiled.

He smiled. The bell rang and Mrs. Nelson came into the room.

"Good Morning class" she said smiling and turning on the TV for announcements.

I turned back around and watched my fellow classmates. Blah, Blah ,Blah could they be anymore lamer. I got another tap on my shoulder.

"What?" I asked

"Can I see your schedule?" Scott asked.

"Sure" I handed it to him, he smiled at it. "What?"

"We have the same classes" He grinned. He had a sexy grin. Oh man what I am thinking. I like Brock not him. I have to talk to Luna.

"Sweet, you can walk with me. Where's your locker?" I smiled.

"Umm, its number 520"

"No way" I smiled, "my locker is 521"

"Awesome" he grinned.

I might just start liking school. He was so cute. His brown eyes, brown hair that swooped across his forehead. Total hottie. I mean his was hotter than Brock. Oh my god. What did I just say? He is hotter, than Brock, and nicer. The bell interrupted my thoughts as I got up and walked out with Scott. We went to our lockers got our books and headed off to math. I passed Luna in the hallway. Great.

"Who is this?" she said pointing to Scott.

"Oh this Scott, he is new."

"Hi" He said.

"Oh, my name is Luna, Luna Hall" she said.

"Well, we will see you at lunch, bye" I said

"Okay bye." She walked away.

"Let's go before we are late"

We walked into Math and sat down. Mrs. Lovato came in late, like always.

"Hello everyone, we have a new student today. Scott Hawthorne" she said pointing to Scott in the back beside me. He waved as the class turned around and looked at him.

"Okay class, we will be doing a project with shapes." She said pulling papers out of a stack. The class groaned.

"Its going to be easy, all you do is pick a shape, chooses different items of that shape and give to me. You have two weeks to do it and you will get a partner" she said passing out information sheets. "I'll be nice this time and let you pick your own partners" Scott looked at me.

"Will you be my partner?" he asked

"Defiantly" I smiled.

The rest of the period was fun. We decided we were going to triangles. After class, we were walking to Social Studies, when I saw Brock. God was he ever cute. I looked at Scott next to me. "Do you play any sports?" I asked.

"Basketball, Base-Ball, and Football" He said looking at me.

"Oh my god. I love every single sport you play. Football is the best though." I said smiling.

"Really? You're a sports girl. What sports to do you play?"

"I don't play sports here. I play for fun, with my family or friends"

"Maybe we can play sometime, but you should come watch me play tomorrow night."

"You're on the basketball team? But you just got here." I said confused.

"I've been here a week, but I just started school. I made the team last week."

"Okay then, I'll be there." I smiled at him as I slid in my chair, with him beside me. He smiled back. Man, this guy was like made for me. I must have missed the lesson, because the bell just rang. After 4th hour, it was lunch. Finally, I was hungry. I walked to my locker, put my books away. Scott did the same. We walked down the cafeteria. I saw Luna and Steve sitting down at a table. I got my food and waited for Scott; we walked over to Luna and sat down.

"Hey guys" I said.

"Hey" said Steve. "Who's this?"

"Oh this is Scott. He's new." I said eating my corn. "Scott, this Steve, Luna's boyfriend"

Scott nodded "hey, dude"

I looked at Luna, who was looking at me. I could tell she needed to talk to me about Scott. I finished eating my lunch, when I heard my name.

"Hey, Miller" I turned and saw Nick, coming towards me.

"Hey Nick, what do you need?" I asked.

"We are having a football game this Saturday, you in?" he asked

"I don't know, could I bring someone"

"Of course, you're Marley Miller, football queen, do whatever you want"

"Oh whatever." I laughed "I'll see you Saturday then"

"Awesome" we did the handshake thing, "later Miller"

I turned back around, and faced Scott. "What are you doing Saturday?"

"Nothing, why?"

"Want to come play football with the queen?"

He chuckled, "sure why not."

"Sweet" I said smiling at him.

The lunch bell rang; everyone filed out and went to class. Scott and I went to English. We walked through the door and slid into our seats.

"Yo, Miller, you coming this weekend" Andy said, from behind me.

"Umm, why wouldn't I?" I said.

"Awesome, hey Fisher, Miller is coming." Andy said

I about screamed, Brock was in this class, since when? Oh my god. He is going to be there this weekend.

"That's awesome, Andy" Brock smiled at me "I heard you got killer skills"

"Oh yeah, I'm the queen of football" I said proudly

"We'll see about that."

"Oh whatever, you can talk the walk, but you can't walk the walk" I smirked.

"Whatever"

I turned around. Scott was laughing "what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, Marley."

Last hour was study hall. Scott sat next to me in the library.

"Want to come over tonight and work on our project?" Scott asked

"Sure what time?"

"You have a car right?"

"Yep, you need a ride?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Alright." I said as I got up and walked over to a section of books. He followed me.

"So you're pretty popular with the jocks aren't you? He asked glancing at books.

"I guess so, my brother was a jock. I went to all the games, the boys got to know me, so we just hang. I thought that after my brother graduated they wouldn't give me the time of day, but things are just the same." I picked up a book.

"Cool" he smiled at me.

He had a hot smile. We just walked around the library, until the bell rang. We walked up to our lockers, grabbed our stuff. I walked over to Luna's locker.

"Steve's taking you home right?" I asked

"Yep." She glanced back at me, then back to her locker.

"Okay, well I'm going to be at Scott's tonight to work on a project. So I'll talk to you later."

"Okay, have fun guys. Bye" she closed her locker, as Steve came up.

"Bye" Scott and I said at the same time.

"Come on, let's go." I said walking towards the student parking lot. I walked up to my car, unlocked it, put my stuff in the back. I looked up at Scott who was just standing there. "What?" I asked

"You have my dream car" He said, shocked

"Really?"

"Yeah" He put his stuff in, and slide in the passenger seat.

I laughed and got in. "where to now?" I asked, turning the car on and pulling out of the parking space.

"Make a left up here" He said pointing towards the lot exit.

"Alright"

I pulled into his drive-way. His house was beautiful. It was a colonial, painted blue. We got out and we walked in. His mom walked up to us.

"Hello, sweetie, who's your friend?" she said.

"Mom, this Marley Miller"

"Hello dear"

"Hi Mrs. Hawthorne" I smiled at her,

"We will be up working on a project" he said as he started walking up the stairs.

"Alright, dears" she walked off and I followed Scott upstairs. I was amazed at his room. It was clean and organized.

"Wow" I said, setting my bag down.

"What?" he turned around.

"Your room, I thought it would at least be messy" I said

"Oh, well, my mom's kind of a clean freak." He smiled and sat down on the bed.

"I see." I laughed. "I like it though"

He laughed and patted a spot next to him on the bed. I sat down beside him.

"Where should we start?" he asked, pulling out a notebook.

"Um, how about we look for shapes" I said lying on my stomach, looking at my book. He laid next to me, looking thru his book.

3 hours later, I was saying my goodbyes, and heading home. I was pulling in my drive-way when my phone rang. It was Luna.

"Hey" I said, as I got out of my car.

"Hey" she said

"What are you doing tomorrow night?"

"Nothing why?"

"Well, Scott is on the basketball team, and wants me to watch. You can bring Steve."

"Alright, I'll go, so what's with you and Scott?"

"What do you mean?"

"You were all happy today"

"Um, I kinda like him. He's like made for me. Sporty, nice, organized, sweet, and HOTT!"

"Ohhh, what about Brock then?"

"He's a jerk. Scott is way better then him"

"Totally. How was the study date?"

"Really fun, we laughed and got to each other more. His mom is really nice." I walked in my house, past my dad, up to my room, shut the door, took of my coat, and sat on my bed.

"That's good, well I have to go. See ya later Mars"

"Bye, Luna" we hanged up. I walked into my walk-in closet, put sweat-pants on, and a t-shirt. I walked downstairs to find my parents, sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Where were you after school?" my dad asked

"I had to go to someone's house to work on a project. I left you a voicemail" I said picking up an apple from the kitchen

"Who's house?" my mom asked

"This new kid, Scott. I've been showing him around."

"That was nice of you" my dad asked. That was it. The conversation over with. I looked at the both of them, then grabbed a water bottle, and walked back upstairs to my room.
