Chapter 1!

"Ugh," I muttered. I threw my fork down and pushed my salad away. Cat turned to look at me, her red pigtails bouncing as her head moved.
"What's the matter?" she asked. I chewed on the inside of my mouth as I glared at the table across from us.
"Tori is all over Beck," I growled.
"But you and Beck broke up," Cat said, confusion clouding her words. I rolled my eyes at her.
"I know we broke up," I said, "I know." I cast my eyes down to my hands. I scratched at the black polish on my fingernails. I heard Tori and Beck laughing together. I sighed.
"Do you still like him?" Cat asked. I stopped chewing on my lip, and looked up at her.
"I don't know," I whispered. I felt tears threatening to spill, and without an explanation I got up from the table and left. I could feel Tori and Beck's eyes on me as I stomped back into the school.

Inside, I flung open the janitors closet and went inside. I slid down the wall and landed on my butt. I willed myself not to cry. One tear rolled down my cheek. I swore into the empty room. I missed Beck. I missed him so much it hurt. I still
loved him. But it was evident that the feelings weren't mutual. I sucked in a deep breath, wiped my eyes and opened the door. The school was still empty; everyone was still outside having lunch. I jumped, startled as I heard a low deep sob. It
was coming from the lockers.

I poked my head around the corner. I stifled a gasp as I saw Beck, tears streaming down his face, sitting underneath my locker.
"Beck," I said, in a soft voice. He looked up at me, and he flushed, embarrassed. He wiped his face with the sleeve of his jumper, the one that I'd borrowed so many times. He stood up slowly.

"Sorry," he whispered, and began to walk away. My heart began to thud against my chest. I swallowed loudly.
"Don't leave," I said, "please." He stopped walking. He suddenly spun on the spot and walked right up to me. He grabbed my shoulders and stared, hard, at my face. Then, ever so gently, he brought his lips to mine. His lips, so familiar, so
comfortable, felt so good. I felt as though a heavy burden had been released off my shoulders. I pulled away from him and we looked at eachother again.
"I've missed you," he said. He then wrapped his arms around me and held me tight.
