CHAPTER 1

"Shorty! What the hell are you doing here? I thought you were home schooled or some shit?"

I jumped at the outburst of my nickname. When I turned around I saw my friend Jonah all up in my personal space.

"Damn man," I said shoving his chest lightly, "you needa step back! I needa breathe, aight?! Anyways, imma start comin' here now. I was sick of being home schooled. Bein' home everyday isn't as cracked up as it's supposed to be."

After hearing my news Jonahs expression turned from shocked to serious in an instant. "What?! No way! You can't come here!"

"Okay... and why the hell can't I come here?!" I asked, suddenly angry at the guy standing right in front of me. "You've always wanted me to go to school with you since the eighth grade! What's the deal, cuhz?"

"B-because stupid!" Jonah started off stuttering. "You're gonna snatch all the girls away from me!" At this point my anger washed away. I stood there for a minute, looking at this idiot with a blank expression Then I started bursting out in laughter. "WHAT THE FUCK, SHORTY?! Why are you laughin' for Miss. 'I'm gonna steal every girls heart in this damn school!'" At that I laughed even harder, clutching my sides, doubling over, and using the lockers to help keep me up. I was drawing attention from a few by-standers.

"Dude, seriously? You're scared imma steal every girl?" I asked after my laughing subsided. "Have you forgotten that I'm happily taken by the most beautiful girl in the whole wide milky way?" Which is true, my baby IS the beautifulest of all the beautiful girls out there. Kinda like Jessica Alba, but even cuter. What? You don't believe me?! That's only cuz you haven't seen her before, but I swear, if and when you see her... you'd, oh my gosh, drool all over her! (Okay, maybe I'm over exaggerating... but this is my story! So leave me alone)

"Oh yeah, that's right," Jonah said. "Damn, you guys have been together for along time! How long's it been?"

I smiled at that. "It's been two wonderful years, ya big ol' dummy. So don't worry 'bout me 'stealing' all the girls, my dude," I slightly emphasized the stealing part.

"So! Even if you have a hottie for a girlfriend, your ass would still flirt and capture all the girls hearts! Don't make me remind you of-"

"Aight! I get it!" I said, cutting Jonah off before he could finish that sentence. "There are some things better off forgotten, asshole. I shuddered at the memory. "Cuz of that stupid shit I almost lost her man."

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry, I won't bring that up again," Jonah said with a look of empathy on his face. "C'mon, where's your next class? I'll take you there." I took my folded schedule out of my back pocket and handed it to him. After he unfolded and examined the schedule he said that we had first, second, and fifth period together. He handed my schedule back to me and I carelessly folded it up, shoving it back into my pocket.

As we walked to first period together I saw a tall skinny kid with curly, afro-like brown hair. When I looked a little harder it was my friend Rodney. "RIP-OFF, my man! What's good, my dude?" I asked approaching him.

"Shorty?" He asked surprised. "SHORTY!" He exclaimed as I stood in front of him with my arms wide open, gesturing for a hug. "What the hell you doin' here? I thought you were dead or somethin'?" he said as he gave me a hug.

"Haha, naw. I've just been hiding from you man," I said as I pulled away from his embrace. "Your face scares me and gives me nightmares." I pulled further away as his hand swung towards my head. "JEEZ! Don't have to get butt hurt, I was just kidding. Your face doesn't give me nightmares, but it does scare me!"

I turned to run away. Instead of making a clean escape, as I had planned, I bumped into a small, soft figure. We both went down, but on instinct I grabbed onto the figure and made a full turn so I was the one that hit the ground first. I had the wind knocked out of me as the figure landed on my stomach.

When I finally got my breathing back to normal, I opened my eyes and looked into the bluest eyes I've ever seen. It was filled with concern. "I'm sorry, I didn't see you coming my way." The shockingly blue eyed beauty said to me. "Are you alright?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine," I replied, still looking into her eyes, "are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," she said, looking away from my eyes. "Do you think you could let go of me now?"

"Oh shit, sorry!" I said as I let my arms fall away from her waist. When she got off of me I sat up. When I looked behind me I saw Jonah and Rodney laughing like there was no tomorrow. "Aye! Shut up, stupids! When I get up you guys better run like your life depended on it." With that they stopped laughing instantly and walked towards me. Jonah held out his right arm and Rodney held out his left. I grabbed both their hands in a firm grip and they pulled me up.

"Damn Shorty, I swear you gained a few pounds," Rodney stated as I finally got on my feet.

"Yeah, it took both of us to get you up!" Jonah joined in. "You need to lay off the chicken and beer."

"Ha-ha very funny," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "Ya won't be crackin' jokes anytime soon if ya keep it up," I threatened. The look of pure horror on their faces made me smirk. 'Yeah, that's what I thought... stupid boys think they can mess with me.' I thought to myself.

"Uhhh, excuse me?" I turned around and spotted the girl I had practically ran over. I took in her features. She was kind of cute, with curly blond hair that stopped just below her breasts. She was a couple inches taller than me, probably five-two or so. Yeah I know, if shes five-two and I'm a couple inches shorter than her, then, I'm short. Anyways, when I looked at her face, the first thing I noticed were her blue eyes.

"Yeah, wassup?" I asked, still staring into her eyes. It had me hypnotized or something, cuz I couldn't look away. 'Damn, I could look in these eyes forever. What?! No! Shorty, snap out of it! You have a girlfriend, remember?' I thought to myself.

"SHORTY!" I jumped, suddenly coming out of my trance.

"What?!" I said, directing an angry glare at Jonah.

"Dude! What the hell," he started. "You just totally zoned out while she was talking to you! She's been standing there for like two minutes while you completely ignored her."

I felt a blush creeping its way to my cheeks as that sudden realization hit me. When I looked back at the girl she had an amused look on her face. I blushed even harder.

"Err... I'm sorry for zonin' out on you," I stammered. "I... uhhh... I was kinda lost in your eyes." I told her bluntly. When I told her this her amused expression turned into a surprised one, with a hint of blushing. I unsuccessfully tried to hide a smirk as my confidence came back.

"Damn it, Shorty. What did I tell you about your flirting?" Jonah asked me. "You do know who you're flirting with, right?"

"You stated that you were scared of my flirting, cuz I'll take all the girls, that you've never had and never will have, away from you." I replied to the first question. "and no, I don't know who I'm flirting with." I said returning my attention back to the blue eyes. "I have a feeling I'd like to know who you are though." Her blush got deeper; my smirk got wider.

"Well I'll tell you who she is," Jonah said as he stood in between us. "This is Sam Puckett, my ex-girlfriend." He said straining the ex part. She extended her right hand.

"Wassup Sam," I said as I shook her hand. "My real names Amanda, but you can call me Shorty. Either is coo' with me."

"You should remember either one, I'm sure you'll be screaming it out later in the future." I shot Rodney a death glare behind me, where he was leaning against the lockers. "JUST KIDDING!" he practically squealed, shooting his arms up as if he was surrendering, once my eyes landed on him. At his sudden movement, several burritos fell out of his jacket. I just stared at him in disbelief.

When I looked back at Sam her face was blank, but her eyes showed how entertained she was. I was just about to tell her to ignore Jonah and Rodney when the bell rang.

"Well, Amanda, it was uhhh... interesting to meet you," Sam said. "I guess I'll see you around."

She gave me a smile.

Stunned by her smile I said, "Yeah, around. I'll see you."

As she turned around to walk away, I swear I saw her smile get a little wider.

"Oh... My... God! You're such a whore, Shorty!" Rodney said as he stepped closer towards me, draping an arm around my shoulders. "You'd flirt with every girl if you could, wouldn't you?" he asked.

"No way man! Not every girl... just the cute ones." I replied. "and I'm not a whore! I just flirt a lil' too much." I said staring as I watched her walk further away.

I watcher her until she met up with two other people. One of them was a boy with a weird shaped head and the other was a tall, elegant looking girl. A cute tall, elegant looking girl.

'This is gonna be an interesting year.' I thought to myself as I said bye to Rodney and followed Jonah to first period.
