I stared at him wondering what life would be like if he cared about me more than a friend. Lying in his arms; knowing that his security is always there. But, it would always be a fantasy. Sure our friendship got much closer since SOR formed, but I still felt as if that something was missing; Freddy Jones. I loved him dearly, but obviously he didn't feel the same. I always watched him move from girl to girl, and was there for him towards the break ups. We were indeed best friends, but would never be anything more.

I watched him walk hand in hand with her. It made my heart break, knowing that I wasn't in her place. It was the first day of sophomore year, and I definitely wasn't prepared.

"Summer!" I turned around and saw Zach staring at me with a huge smile on his face. I ran to him and hugged him. We've only been dating for a week, but I did love him; not as a boyfriend, but a best friend. I was hoping he was someone that could help me keep my mind off Freddy.

He pulled me in closer to him, and gently kissed me on the lips. He was my first kiss, but when we did, I didn't feel anything. It was like I was kissing a cousin or something; and when it comes to mind, doesn't sound too right. Zach never did anything to me, but a light kiss. He was those boyfriends that didn't like to move fast; I think a slug moves faster than him. I was actually surprised when he did kiss me; of course he was forced by Katie. She was there the exact moment I achieved my first boyfriend, and probably wanted to see me have my first kiss.

While I was kissing him, I felt a cold hand on my lower back. It gave me the chills, and I jerked my head to see who was behind me. To my surprise it was Freddy, he smirked at me and I couldn't help but smile. I jumped into his arms, hugging him tightly. He pulled me in tightly, and it was times like this I cherished. When we were in each other's arms. Surely, I thought of it much deeper than he did. He thought of it more of 'I love you best friend' kinda hug. I saw it as a 'I love you, never let me go' situation.

Zach looked hurt from my sudden move into Freddy; I could see his chocolate brown hues saddening. After about five minutes of hugging Freddy, I reluctantly let go and moved to Zach. I tenderly kissed his lips, and pulled away. I felt very uncomfortable kissing him. Anytime I kissed him, I wondered what kissing Freddy would be like. Sure, it wasn't supposed the most common thing to go through my head, but its all the occupied my mind during those moments. He placed his hand in my own, and we walked towards the school. I looked back every couple seconds to see what Freddy was doing, I don't know if I should call it obsession or just a huge crush.

"Hey, Summer Hathaway," I stared at the school secretary search through her files with chocolate at the rims of her mouth.

"Ah, sophomore, locker 238. Here is your schedule," she flung her hand out with the schedule in her hand.

I searched the hallways, looking like a retard checking for each locker number, "finally," I tried opening it, but it wouldn't budge. I stood there looking pathetic trying to open a piece a metal. After five minutes, I pried it open with all my strength. I wasn't the strongest girl; I was feeble and fragile. I looked down at my schedule for first period, study hall. It was probably one of the classes I enjoyed. No learning, just time for socializing.

I walked into the room as soon the morning bell shrilled. I sat all the way in the far back corner, so I can hopefully be secluded from everyone else. I wasn't much of a socialite. A boy turned around, and just stared straight into my eyes.

"Hi, I'm Travis," his voice had a deep, sexy tone to it. He stuck out his hand, and I willingly shook it. He had a firm grip. I just started at the way his blonde shaggy hair fell right above his left eye. I pushed my jet black hair out of my eyes, hoping to look more presentable. I only wished I wore my contacts that day, but I was lazy and just decided to wear my glasses.

"Hi, I'm Summer, how come I haven't seen you before?" he was the most gorgeous boys ever, and had beautiful forest green eyes.

"Um yeah, I just moved here. I'm still getting used to the school and the uniforms," I was about to answer him when I heard a vibration in my book bag. I took out my cell phone and saw Freddy's name on the screen. I look towards the door and I saw Freddy standing there. I smiled, happy to see anything that had to do with him: "Meet me in the hallway."

"Hold on," I noticed that Travis watched me as I went up to the teacher's desk.

"Ms. Harris, maybe I get something from my locker?"

"Surely Summer," he handed me the hall pass and I ran into the hallway. I jumped onto Freddy, making him lose his balance. We fell onto the ground, me on top of him. My knees were straddling with waist, and he just smiled at me.

"Why hello Freddy," I hiked myself up straightening out my navy blue plaid skirt.

"Who were you talking to?" he looked straight into my eyes like he was trying to uncover my darkest secret. I loved his eyes. The way the chocolate contrasted with an olive green; they were just so unique. I swear I've never seen such a color.

"No one, just Travis, some new kid. Why?" I took my hand and ran it through his blonde hair.

"Well a person's gotta watch out for their best friend right?"

"Aw, remember I got a boy friend?" I pulled my hair back into a loose bun, not really caring about my appearance anymore.

"Zach, how could I forget. YOUR FIRST BOYFRIEND!" he pulled at my ponytail making it all fall back in my face.

"SHUT UP," I punched him in the stomach, and he started laughing. Oh how I loved the way he laughed. The authentic and adorableness to it. I gave him a huge bear hug, hugging him as hard as I could. He lifted me up, my feet off the ground. It was just the two of us in the hallway, in each other's arms. We were probably hugging each other for five minutes before we heard Zach's voice. It was as if he was talking to himself. Freddy never actually put me down, but carried me into a stall in the boys' bathroom, hopefully hiding from Zach. Being the annoying person Freddy sometimes is, he started making random moaning noises. It got Zach's attention of course, and he walked in laughing.

"God Freddy, you get pretty happy easily. Couldn't you wait 'til you got home?" he kept laughing and I wished he would just leave. He finally put me down, and since our bodies were pushed up against each others, I could feel his body heat.

"Uh, I guess not Zach. You caught me, thought I would get some time alone," he rolled his eyes, and sighed in relief when we realized Zach finally left.

We ran out of the bathroom, back into the hallway sighing in relief. I started walking towards my class, when I felt Freddy's hand on my shoulder.

"You aren't leaving until you give me another hug," he ran his hand down my cheek, inching closer and closer to me. He lifted up my face with his fingers, and I saw his face coming closer towards me. I was trying to figure out why he was acting like this; leading me on. He's never acted this way before, why now? I gave him one of those simple one arm hugs and ran back into class.
