Thank you!

Just something new I'm trying.

The locker door slammed and I was instantly jolted out of my thoughts. I snapped my neck as I quickly looked to my right. My eyes met the smiling face of a very attractive boy.. and I, Jennifer DeFazio, was proud to call him my best friend.

He raised a concerned eyebrow and grinned at me. "You okay, dork?"

I rolled my eyes. I hated that nickname. "I prefer my real name, asshole."

He folded his arms and followed me as I walked down the hallway. "Sorry, loser." When I glared back at him, he laughed. "I'm kidding! Jenny, come on!"

Then I stopped abruptly, and he almost ran into me. Spinning around, I glared. "You know I get picked on every damn day with that shit. Now you're gonna contribute to it?"

"Jenn, you know I don't mean it," Alix said to me. I only rolled my eyes and continued to walk away. "I mean, come on," he began, following me once more. "I practically beat the fuck out of Zach for picking on you. You think I'd actually be serious while messing with you?"

"It all hurts the same," I muttered under my breath.

That was when he stopped me and spun me around. His hands were planted firmly on my shoulders and his deep-blue eyes met my chocolate orbs. "I'm not gonna do it again, then, okay? I promise. I'm sorry, Jenny."

It was then that I realized we were standing in the middle of the hallway and everybody who walked by stared at us.. probably wondering what a hot, smart and popular guy was doing touching a moron like me.

Shrugging his hands away, I sighed. "People are staring. Just go to class and I'll see you after."

With a roll of my eyes, I walked to class, starting my hell-hole of a day.

It was the end of the school day, finally, and I began to walk towards the parking lot, where I usually met Alix so he could drive me home. When I got there, I groaned to myself.. standing next to his car, was not only him, but one of the snobby, preppy girls. Great, I guess he was taking her home, too..

With a puff of annoyed air, I continued to walk towards the car. When the girl, known as Laruen, saw me, her smile had dropped immediately. I mentally laughed to myself; oh, how it must've been killing her deep inside.

"Hey, Jenny, take the back, okay?" Alix told me. We stared at each other for a couple seconds and I coiuld tell he was begging me to just do what he said by the way he looked at me. With an internal groan, I nodded and hopped in the seat behind his. After he got in, and she did, he pulled out of the parking lot and drove off.

"Thanks for the ride," Lauren smiled at him, flashing white teeth as she opened her door.

Alix nodded, his grin making me want to puke. Gross. "Anytime, Lauren."

When she got out, I got out, too and replaced her seat on the passenger side. Alix waited for her to enter her house before he continued on driving. "Why the fuck do you do that to yourself?" I asked, shaking my head.

He looked over at me, but I refused to make eye contact. "Do what? Lauren's nice."

"Yeah, to you because she thinks you're the best thing since sliced bread," I growled, finally looking over at him. "She's extremely conceited and I swear she's had ass implants-"

"Aw, come on," Alix said, but couldn't help but snort- I assumed it was at my ass implants comment. "You act like you're ugly as sin."

"What? I do not," I frowned, folding my arms. "How?"

He laughed and shook his head. "Can I be completely honest with you, Jenn?"

I shrugged. "Why not? Everybody else is."

He shot me a look and then continued. "Anyway," he sighed and for a second I felt upset with myself at how angry he looked. "I don't think Lauren is pretty. Yeah, she's a friend of mine and I'm willing to give her a few rides home to keep out of the heat, but she's a trashy whore. So are a lot of other girls in our school, but you.. you're the only real one I know. You're not ugly. You have that long, wavy hair that most girls would die for, long eyelashes, a pretty face.. you keep yourself in shape and you don't look as orange as an oompa loompa. You know what's up. That's hard to find and I'm glad that I did, you know?"

If I said that his words made me happy and my heart thump in my chest like mad, that would have still been an understatement of what I was actually feeling. "Alix-"

The car came to a halt and I looked out the window.. my house in clear sight. "Well, here we are," he sighed, putting the car in park and leaning back in the seat more comfortably. He looked over at me with a tired smile, his hair ruffled.

I cleared my throat, running my hand over the top of my head nervously before opening the door. Why the hell was I suddenly feeling this way? "Alright. See you later, I guess." Nodding, he watched as I shut the door and walked up to my porch. Fishing around for my key, I found it, unlocked my door and stepped inside.

Taking one more look behind me, i watched as the silver Corvette Centennial drove off.

Well, I hope I caught some of you off guard. :P

Yes, that is Sideswipe! But Jenny doesn't know that yet! Shh! Don't tell. ;)
