Hey I'm Taylor Colleen Coppedge. Or as my friends at gymnastics call me lil' copp. Or sometimes even Tee Sea Sea. Kind of weird I know but I have an older sister that goes to gymnastics with me too and they call us Coppedge. So that we would get us mixed up she is Coppedge and I am lil' copp. I do gymnastics along with dance, acting, singing, modeling, and cheering but no one really knows about those last few. Everyone at school just thinks I'm a drama geek, which is kind of true I mean I love drama. But I really am a cool person or at least I think I am. I go to Garner Senior High School. It is a total night mare I am a nerd and get picked on and stuff. Not like the popular people who get anything they want and everyone loves them. And have an awesome boyfriend we have been going out since 8th grade. Last year my mom and dad got a divorce and right after my mom lost custody of me, my brother and sister she was so stressed that she had a heart attack and died. It still upsets me a lot of times when like people talk about their moms and how they go shopping on the weekends with her.

(Taylors POV)

*beep beep*

What's that noise? I thought as I slowly work up and the beeping continued. It was a while before I realized what it truly was.

My STUPID alarm clock, I just with I would SHUT UP! I turned it off and got up while wiping the sleep put of my eyes. I got dressed and ready for the nightmare of high school.

I walked down stairs and saw my dad sitting by the counter eating breakfast.

"Hey Tiny Mite. You want something to eat?" ughhh I hated when he called me that!

"No dad I'm fine and you know I don't like when you call me that!"

Oh sorry I forgot to mention that I am in 10th grade and weigh 97 pounds and am 5' 2" tall! Urg I hate being small I always get these stupid names that I HATE!

"Okay lil' copp sorry. You need a ride to school?"

"Yea since you can't drive because you can't see over the steering wheel! Haha" And that is my brother Matthew. Basically one of my worst enemies, at school and at home, we don't get along at all. And even though he's my brother he always picks on me just so he can stay popular. I hate him and he hates me. I think you get the picture.

"SHUT UP! You just jealous! And no dad I don't, I can drive remember?" I said practically screaming. And yeah I know that's lame but I'm not good with come backs, well at least good mean come backs that I can say in front of my dad.

He starts laughing "HAHA jealous of you… don't think so. What's there to be jealous of your gay boyfriend and friends?"

"OH THAT'S IT! ONE; MY BOYFRIENDS NOT GAY AND AT LEAST I HAVE A BOYFRIEND AND TWO; I HAVE MORE FRIENDS THEN YOU DO SO FUCK OFF!"

"What was that Taylor?" SHIT I said something didn't I?

"What?" I asked

"I said what did you just say?" Yep definitely said something I shouldn't have

"I said I have more friends then he does so…freak off…?" That was the only thing I could come up with.

"Oh okay well you should get to school." My dad said while handing me my stuff and giving me a hug. I guess he believed me. I got in my truck and drove to school.

I drove to school going a little over the speed limit because I was running late from this mornings little argument with matt. I had to be at school 30 minutes early for tutoring. And of course I was stuck tutoring one of the stupidest, man-whore-est, self centered guys at school. And that person would be Owen Peterson. I absolutely loathed him. He was popular and hot and he knew it. He loved all the attention he got from being the star of the baseball team. But the worse thing was I actually kind of like him and I am totally disgusted with myself for it. I wish I could just choose who I do and don't like because I would deff. choose not to like him.

"I mean what's so great about him, sure he's hot and can play sports and funny but he is so self-centered and stuck up…"

I was in the middle of my rant when Owen walked in and sat down next to me in the library. Gosh he's so cute… NOOO Taylor! Bad, don't even start thinking that way. You hate him remember. Just look at him he's so stuck up and stuff.

That's normal for me. Just when I start thinking I like him I talk myself out of it, which is one of the best things because even if I DID like him it wouldn't ever happen.

"Uh Taylor? Helloooo….?" Owen said while shaking me and waving a hand in front of my face. I snapped out of it and came back to this world.

"Huh? Oh its just you." I snapped and looked away.

"Are you okay? You seem a little out of it today." He asked seeming like he was really concerned. But I wasn't about to fall for that. I know he's not really concerned I'm just the only girl in school who won't go out with him, even my best friend Shelby went out with him for a week, so he's trying harder so I will. And I'll just be another stupid girl he can say he went out with. No I'm not falling for that. I looked at him, more like glared, and responded back with a " I'm fine just didn't sleep we last night but ill be even better when I can get out of here and away from you!" or something along those lines. I was too tired to remember. Ever since my mom died I haven't slept well I'm always waking up at night after having a nightmare, which usually involved a lot of beeping and buzzing and me just sitting there outside the hospital room being helpless as I watched the scene unfold like I was watching a movie, Me sitting in a chair beside my mom, then the beeping starts and the doctors come in and push me out of the room and I stand outside the door crying and watching my mom slowly died as the doctors try and restart her heart which never works and the doctors came out with their heads hanging. That's when I wake up.

"gheeze I was just asking whats wrong. You look like you could just fall out the chair at any moment and pass out on the floor." He said as he grabbed me and caught me before I started falling. That's when I felt it, like I had just been shocked, like I had stuck a fork in an electrical out lite and it shocked me. When he touched me I could have sworn there was an electric current running through us. It was something completely new to me. And it completely scared the shit out of me because right then and there I felt if he had somehow place a deep connection between us and it could not be broken even if I hated him…
