Chapter 1-Friendship

Catie Roth left her first period class furious. Her teacher had given her detention, Her second this week and it was only Tuesday. "I can't believe this" Catie thought aloud "This system is totally screwed up!" When she arrived at her locker she was still fuming. It took her five tries to get her locker open.

"Hey Catie" a familiar voice shouted from across the hall

It was one of her best friends, Jamie

Catie's heart rate quickly began to accelerate. He looks so cute she thought, then mentally slapped herself, Don't think that!

"Uh...Hi Jamie" Catie managed, barely gaining her composer

"What's up? Bad day?"

"You could say that, I got another detention" Catie shut her locker and they began walking toward Catie's second period class.

"Another one? Is that like you 5th one this week?" Jamie teased "What'd you do this time?"

"I was only standing up against the oppressive patriarchal values that dictate our lives!"

"Never give up, do you?"

"Never! Anyway, how's your day going?"

As Jamie began to ramble on about how his day had gone so far, Catie was lost in her own thoughts. She was struck by how expressive his eyes were. She could stare into those eyes all day. He's so adorable, she thought, what am I going to do? This is Jamie, my best friend Jamie, I can't like him! We'll never be more than friends her mind screamed, but as she looked at him she wished that they could.

"Earth to Catie...Hello?" Jamie said

"Oh sorry I was just thinking"

"About?" Jamie inquired

How much I love you, but she doubted that would go over well. She knew Jamie liked her as a friend, but he didn't seem to be interested in her as more.

"Nothing, just how I better get to class so I don't get to spend another day in detention"

"Well than I better let you get to class"

No! I don't want to go, I want to stay here forever! "Ok, See you later"

"Yeah see you! Have fun in class and don't get anymore detentions!"

Catie smiled at Jamie and walked reluctantly into her class, her thoughts filled with Jamie.
