Chapter 1: Meeting Jon Good
My name is Ana Maria Rodriguez, and I'm 17 years old and I'm originally from Houston, Texas, but because of some bad circumstances in Texas (which I won't talk about, not now especially) I am now living in Cincinnati, Ohio with my Aunt Elizabeth.
I'm not gonna sit here and lie to all of you by saying that living here in Ohio has been a complete nightmare for me, because it hasn't, I enjoy the new places I've seen here in Cincinnati, the only problem I have about Ohio is the school I have to go to, I hate it there, Cincinnati Heights High School is probably the worst High School in all of Ohio combined, in my opinion, people here are so rude and snobby, they have their heads so far up their own asses, it's unreal
When I arrived at my first class, I was the only one late, it wasn't my fault though, the school counselor had a difficult time finding my schedule, and I got lost trying to find my first class
I quietly walked up to my teacher, Ms. James and gave her my schedule
"I'm Ana Maria Rodriguez, the new student" I told her, trying my hardest not to see almost everyone in the class burning me alive with their stares
"Welcome to American Government, Ana Maria" said Ms. James as she gave me back my schedule
"Please take a seat anywhere you wish, Ana Maria, while I assign you a textbook, please take the spare one under the desk you wish to seat in and begin reading chapter 12, once you are done I want for you to do the questions at the end of the chapter" ordered Ms. James
I nodded and then quickly searched for an empty desk, I silently cheered as I found an empty desk in the back, I made my way towards the desk, avoiding the stares and whispers along the way
I then reached under the desk and got my Government textbook and began my assignment
"Chapter 12: The Bill Of Rights" I read quietly
As I worked on reading the chapter, I felt someone tap on my shoulder, I looked over to see a boy across from me who looked a year older than me, he had a black hooded sweater on with black jeans and sandy blonde hair, I noticed he also had the deepest set of blue-gray eyes I had ever seen in my life, I had to look away because I had found myself staring at him, and I didn't wanna seem like a weirdo to him
I then felt him tap on my shoulder again, I looked over and silently asked "What do you want?"
He responded by giving me a slip of paper, smirking at me and then turned around
I opened the piece of paper and saw a simple question written on it
'Can I look at your schedule, maybe I can show you to your next class?'
I looked over at the boy and felt my cheeks burning, maybe I thought, I could make a friend in this seemingly horrible school, so I responded to the note then grabbed my schedule from my bookbag and attached it to the note then tapped on his shoulder, when he looked up to see me, I handed him the slip of paper and continued to work on my assignment.
Minutes later, I felt him tapping at my shoulder again then gave me back my schedule along with the note, I opened up the note and read what it said
'Congrats sunshine, you're stuck with me from now on' I couldn't help but begin smiling widely.

I had just finished answering all the questions based on the chapter when I heard the bell ring, signaling the end of class, I stood and began putting all my things away in my backpack when I heard my name being called
"You're Ana Maria, right?" I turned to see the boy from earlier standing behind me
"Yeah, that's me" I told him, trying not to start blushing again
"Well, let's get going sunshine, don't wanna be late again, do ya?" he asked, smirking at me and holy crow, when I heard him talk for the first time, his voice was so deep and sexy, it was like listening to a god speak
I smiled at him "I'd like that, if that's okay with you, I mean"
"Come on, then"
"I have to go get my textbook from Ms. James first" I replied
"Wait here, I'll get it for you" I did as he said and waited for him while he went up to Ms. James and got my book for me
The boy then began making his way towards me with my textbook in his arms, when he finally reached me, he gave me the book and I put it inside my backpack
"Thank you for getting my textbook for me, I appreciate it" I told him as he lead me out of the classroom
"It was nothing, sunshine, let's get going"
"So I'm guessing since you said I'm stuck with you, I have every class with you?" I asked
"Correct, now come on, next class is English Lit, and the class is a bit far from here, on the other side of the building"
"Okay, but I was thinking since you already know my name, I think it's a bit fair if I knew yours, that way at least I can match a name to a face"
The boy grinned at me, then stretched out his hand
"The name's Good, Jonathan Good, but you can call me Jon, pleasure to meet ya, sunshine"
