It's one shot time! Remember, they are not connected. Each story is a new plot! I'll tell you if I change that. Enjoy!

Prologue

I had always hated August. The end of summer, the beginning of school. That meant no more staying up until 1:00 in the morning painting models, no more roaming downtown Lillian during the day. Just being brought back to the harsh reality of being a middle schooler. But, as Charles had reminded me this morning, this is our last year of middle school. The 8th grade. When everyone starts dating...and the rest is history. I think that's when Jen became a slut. Imagine if Alice was a slut. Then I'd probably never be aloud to talk to her. Ever. Lucky for me, and probably every other guy in the group, Alice dresses pretty well. She's the most popular girl in my grade, and of course, I've had a crush on her since I was 12. She never really talked to me until this summer. I felt kinda like I was reborn, you know, after my mom died. Alice was the only person other than her to actually look at me. Not even Charles, who had been my best friend since kindergarten, had ever looked at me like I was actually there. Me and Alice are sort of dating now. Not really, but we've kissed twice. So what does that make us? She comes over all the time, not that she needs to. Her dad stopped drinking and smoking cold-turkey. My dad is always asking why Alice is here, but I never answer. I think if I told him why she was here, he would say that I was taking it too far. He wouldn't approve. But just because his wife died, does not mean that I have to give up love too. I'm too young, and I really don't think Alice would appreciate it either. She slipped a note in my window one night when I wouldn't wake up, and it said that she loved me. She loves me, and I love her. How cliche.

Alright! That was just my little 'Prologue' for what's to come. I know it's slightly boring and short, but I was in the mood to write something like this. See you soon, and don't forget to review!
