Every girl wants to be with a guy who's smart, charming, polite….and someone who'll be not afraid to be honest with you. Every girl wants someone who know that he'll take care of you, and not afraid to treat you as an equal. But have you ever had that feeling with that special someone…that when you think you know absolutely everything about them…the next second you don't? If you have, you'll know exactly how this girl feels.

Her name's Jennifer Anderson, a 14 year old person…who believes her life is a fairy tale….without the 'happily ever after'. She had black, fairly long hair, and green eyes that would light up in the day. She felt miserable most of the time, she felt lonely. But after that one day, when no one in the world could help her, he did. They were friends, close, and she had something inside telling her about him, something that wasn't right. The only time she could ever see Alex, was in school, but strangely, never after school. Why?

"Jen, hey! Wait up, where have you been? I've been looking all over for you?" Alex asked. Jen blushed, smiling behind her books.

"Why? Do you think I ran across the country or something?" She asked.

"Ha, ha, very funny. Can I ask you a favor?" he asked her. Jennifer looked away, knowing someone was listening form behind.

"Yeah, sure…" she said hesitantly.

"There are mid-terms two weeks…and I haven't really studied…"

"Alex! You're in so much trouble! What have you been doing?" She interrupted him. Alex shrugged. What was he going to say? He was saving the world from psychopaths trying to take over the world and not having much time to study? Sure…

"I've been busy lately…" Alex lied. Jennifer sat down by a nearby chair.

"Have you at least studied half?"

"Um…"

"A quarter?"

"Not really…"

"Alex!" She exclaimed, lightly hitting him on the shoulder. "How could you do that? These are MID TERMS! You can't study enough for everything!"

"I'm sorry! I know, I'm in trouble and I've never done anything like this before, so will you still help me?" He asked, pouting. Jennifer looked away.

"Please don't do that…" She said, starting to giggle.

"Why not? One of your best friends are in desperate need and you won't help me? Please…?" He said, putting it into a softer voice. Jen looked back and smiled.

"Okay, I'll help. But you owe me big!" she exclaimed. Alex got up, standing, and giving her a killer smile, making her feel paralyzed.

"I'll see you at free period! Thanks!" He said, running. As he left, one of Jen's other BFF came to her.

"Oh my god, you were talking to him, weren't you?" She said excitedly. Jen nodded. "Wow, Jen, you really need to stop becoming so paralyzed from him," she laughed.

"I know! He's so hot, and I'm so…lame!" Jennifer frowned. Tammy, Jen's BFF, sat down with her.

"Jen, stop telling yourself that. What were two talking about, anyway?" Tammy asked.

"I'm helping him study for mid-terms."

Tammy squealed in delight. "This is so perfect! You have to connect with him!" She smiled. Jennifer stared blankly at her.

"If you haven't noticed, I said…he's hot, I'm lame. It's never going to work!"

Alex smiled as he left Jennifer. He was finally going to get some alone time with her and maybe during studying he'll ask her out. But what if she finds out about the…secret…? Alex shook his head and headed for math class.
