Jayden never told anyone but Damien and Ryker figured it out "dude you like her" Ryker said. "What are you talking about" Jayden asked

"You liking Maria what else Den" Damian said "is it that Obvious" Jayden asked "yeah sorry dude" Ryker said patting his shoulder.

Maria always talked about Jayden that's when the girls realized what had gotten in to her.

"Mara you like him don't you" "whatttttt" "you may be able to lie but right now you're not able to" Bryann said "fine I like him ok I realllllllly like him" Maria said.

"I just can't believe it was my brother though , I thought you liked Paxson" "nope Jay" she said not even trying to hide it.

And this is how it went for like and hour or so.

A year later

When Jayden was 14 and Maria was 13 they realized they had to be together.

"Jayden what's your problem" Damian asked one of his best friends as he yawned having just woke up. "I don't think I can take it anymore I" "bro that you talking about".

"Maria that's what's up" Jayden said running his hand through his blond hair. "Then ask her out Den no one's stopping you" Damian said "except Paxson" "she's not going out with him Den,she told me herself"Damian said.

"I guess you're right" "when am I not" he asked turning to leave the living room of the mountain "oh and she wanted to hang with you today since you guys don't anymore and since Rach is sick it's the perfect opportunity" Damian said "ok I'll go there now".

Jayden walked down the hall to Maria's room ,then typed in her password "hey" he said as he walked him "hey" she said it barely came out as a whisper as she got up and walked over to him.

"So you wanna hang out" she asked nervously "yeah I guess seeing that we never hang anymore without Rachel" Jayden said "what do you want to do" "umm why don't we just talk" Jayden asked.

"Ok about what" "well there was something I kinda wanted to ask you" "what Jay" "would you be my girlfriend" Maria looked at him then smiled "you know how long I wanted you to ask me that" Maria said wrapping her arms around his neck .

"No how long" he asked "more then a year" Maria said as he pulled her closer "and that's about how long I wanted to ask you" Jayden said as his stomach growled, Maria started laughing.

"Come on let's eat" Maria said holding his hand and they walked out of her room.

Once they got to the Kitchen, they saw Ryker and Bryann sitting at island smiling and laughing. "Yo Ryker did we have homework" Jayden asked getting the attention of his best friend, who looked at him then at his hand that was in Maria's.

"Dude you're the one who tells me" Ryker said as his girlfriend butted in "that's probably true" Bryann said "yeah but I wasn't there Friday" "oh yeah we were partnered with an incoming 9th grader to talk about what's going to happen and how they are going to have 2-3 classes at the academy starting next week".

"So who was I partnered with Ryk" "ummm here" he said handing him the paper. Jayden looked at it then read it aloud to them.

"Jayden West age 14 grade Freshmen/9th. Will be showing a incoming 9th grader around and how the academy works. This incoming 9th grader is Maria Gray'son so be kind and answer any questions she has Thank you" Jayden looked at his girlfriend.

"Cool so who did you get" Jayden asked "I got Bree" Ryker said his arms around her stomach "let me go I'm hungry" Bryann said as her boyfriend let her go. Jayden got the waffles out of the freezer "want 2" Jayden asked his cousin "yes please" she said.

After the waffles were done they were placed in syrup and things both of them love to eat on waffles. "So what happened between you two" "I don't know" they both said "how I know something is up so spill" Bryann told her oldest cousin and her best friend. "So we might have started dating like 30 minutes ago" Maria said.

"Yay finally now we can double and stuff like that" the girls got all into that conversation the boys walked away "did my girl just get girly" Ryker asked "yup I'd get use to it happening once in a blue moon" "what is that suppose to mean" "dude we just learned old phrases Thursday in class it means once In a while or rarely but it will happen" Jayden told his best friend.

With the two 8th grade girls. "Wonder what Paxson's going to say when he finds out" Bryann said "it doesn't matter what he says he's not my boyfriend Jayden is" Maria said.

On Monday Bryann and Maria had half their classes at the private school( junior high).

Then they headed to the academy with some of their friends because half the 8th graders went to the academy in the morning.

"Good morning students you will go to class with your partner, you can place you bags in their locker and they'll answer questions you have about anything" principle Brooks said.

"Isn't that you're dad Amber" Lily asked "sadly watch he probably have me paired with a nerd girl" Amber said "ohh that'd suck" Maria said "that would cheer me up" Amber said pointing towards Jayden, Ryker, Tyler, and Aaron.

"Those two are taken" Maria and Bryann said as the boys walked over. Ryker kissed Bryann on the cheek "hey Bree" "hey Ry". Jayden held his hand out to Maria which she gladly took.

Amber was staring at Tyler but everyone called him Ty "you were in my science and Spanish class last year right" she asked "yeah I'm Tyler but please call me Ty" "I'm Amber" "well your my partner" Ty said.

Once that was done they headed to class. "So what happens if you late so many times to a class" Amber asked Tyler seeing as the first 2 days are for getting to know the classes. "Umm it depends but some kind of dentition" Tyler said "crap I kinda have a problem with being late with out Maria and Them" "well I could help you with that" I'd like that" Amber said.

Within the next 3 months they were getting to know each other and the school. "Hey Guys" Amber said "hey what's up with you" Maria asked "Tyler asked me out on Friday." Amber said "what about you dad" "my mom said it was fine and that my dad can do anything about that here because it would be somewhat against rules" Amber said.

The boy have a habit of walking up that these times "hey" they said "hey" The girls said. Jayden wrapped his arms around Maria's waist as she opened his locker and placed her stuff in it then he placed his in "soo you're not going to say hi to me" he asked.

"I did but hi Jay" she said twisting her head to look up at him, he leaned down and kissed her "love you" "love you too Jay" she said as the warning bell rang "come on you two" Tyler said as they ran down the hall.
