Jackson Teller sat in his first period English class waiting for school to be over so he could go back to Teller-Morrow and hang out with his friends Opie and Tara. Little did he know today was about to get interesting.

The teacher was droning on about something, when a girl rushed in with a mess of blonde hair and tan skin. His heart literally stopped beating for a second this girl was drop dead gorgeous. She was average height with a nice rack and a tight body, with legs that went on for days, which were currently on display due to her shorts which went along perfectly with her white skin tight tank top.

"sorry I'm late. I couldn't find the classroom" she breathily replied to Mr. Harris

He took the piece of paper from the girl "ah Ms. Tanner welcome to English" he says and signs the paper and hands it back to her

"you can take the empty seat in the back" he says pointing to the only empty seat which happened to be to Jax's left

As she made her way to the empty seat Jax got a clear unobstructed view of the girl. She had her hair up in a messy bun thing which gave him a clear view of the tattoo on her shoulder blades there was detailed angel wings with a name in the middle he couldn't read the name in the time before she turned around.

When she finally sat down she turned to Jax and gave him a smile

"hi" she says adding a wave

"hey" Jax replies lazily

"my names Amanda, what's yours" she asks still smiling at him

"Jax" he replies

Realizing that the guy wasn't going to talk to her any more than necessary she gave up and faced the front of the room to pay attention to what the teacher was saying. Finally the bell rang signaling the end of the class period. Jax hung back for a second so he could get another look at her tattoo he hadn't seen a kid his age with a tattoo they were only 14 after all who would tattoo a 14 year old.

When the girl walked past his desk he saw the name Peyton it said. Now he had a new mystery on his hands 'who the fuck is Peyton'

Throughout the day he saw Amanda in almost all of his classes their last names both beginning with a 'T' pretty much guaranteed that. What he was surprised by was her being on the track team. Since Charming High School was a small school the track and football field were one in the same. He did warm up laps with Opie when she ran past.

"hey that's the new girl. You met her" Opie asks his friend

"yah, said her name was Amanda" Jax says to him

"she's really nice, her and Donna were talking like the whole period during science" Opie says

"she has Honors Bio with Donna and Tara" Jax asks slowing down

"yah, she also has that sewing class with them" he says

"you know where she's from" Jax asks

"no Donna and Tara said that she changed the subject when that came up" Opie says looking after the girl

"did she say anything about Peyton" Jax asks his friend

"no why" Opie asks

"she's got a tattoo on her shoulder blades says Peyton" Jax answers

They were finally done warming up and took a break sitting on the grass. It was extremely hot today, it was still summer weather, the beginning of September was the worst month to be running outside in. most of the guys had their shirts off and the girls were running in short shorts and a sports bra which Jax and Opie couldn't be happier about. All except for the new girl Amanda who was running in short shorts but wore a baggy shirt that she was clearly sweating in, but she wouldn't take it off even when the girls on her team tried to get her to take it off.

"you're going to die of heat stroke" Bree said to her

"no I'm fine" Amanda says to her team mate

"your funeral" Jackie says to her

Amanda chuckles and says "would you guys at least come"

They all laughed and went to drink some water and finish their stretching so they could leave.

"hey Manda do you want a ride home?" Jackie asks her while they changed in the locker room

"um, do you think you could drive me to the diner. I have to work tonight" Amanda asks her

"sure" Jackie answers taking her keys out of her purse

"how can you have a job at the diner you're only 14" Bree asks

"they don't know I'm 14" Amanda answers

"oh man I did that when I was 14" Jackie chuckles

After football practice Jax and Opie picked up Tara and Donna then headed over to the diner. They sat in the corner booth which was were they always sat. they immediately started laughing and joking around.

"hey guys, what can I get you" Amanda came up to the table and asked

"you work here" Tara asks dumbfounded

"yup" Amanda answers with her pen poised over her order pad

"but your only 14" Donna says

"shhh, they don't know that" Amanda says smiling "so what'll it be"

After ordering their food the friends quietly discussed the new girl, finishing their food they left a very nice tip for Amanda.

"thanks guys come back soon" Amanda called from behind the counter

At 10 o'clock when the last customer finally left Amanda turned on the radio to clean up and lock up and then she could go home. She was so into her cleaning and listening to the radio that she almost missed the sound of a dozen or so bikes ride past her on Main Street.

I wonder what that's about Amanda thought idly to herself
