Aprils POV
"Dude come say hi to April!" Mark shouted. I turn my body around and my eyes met the stranger's beautiful ocean blue ones, and his light freckles above his nose.
"Ahem," Alex grunted. My cheeks start to get warmer and I start to get embarrassed.
"I'm Jackson, Jackson Avery," He grinned. He let out a smile that made me melt. His hand was extended for me to shake, so I did. My skin came in contact with his and I felt a spark. What in the heck is going on?
"I'm-I'm April," I stuttered, pulling my hand away from his. He smiled again. Shoot. My cheeks get even redder than before and my heart started racing. I hear a laugh coming from Owen, and Mark elbowed him in the ribs.
"Shut up!" Mark shout whispered. I could see Alex starting to get angry for some reason.
"I'm gonna-I-I'm gonna-gonna go," I probably look like a freaking idiot right now. I scurry away from their table to go sit back with Alexandra . I have so many questions about what I just felt.
Jackson's POV
I see April speed walk towards her friend. Her red hair bouncing as she goes. I turn back around to face the guys and everyone has different expressions on their faces. Derek and Owen have a stupid grin on their faces. Mark looks serious, and Alex looks like he's about to rip my throat out.
"What?" I chuckled nervously. I could still feel Alex's glare on me as I sat down next to Mark. The table was quiet for a moment. Mark got up and brought me with him. He walked outside of the cafeteria, passing April as we went.
"Can I help you?" I questioned, yanking my arm from his hand.
"Do you have a thing for April?" He asked bluntly. god dammit.
"I-uh-no," I denied, "Why do you ask?"
"Because Alex will rip your teeth out if you two get together." Right when he says that my heart drops to my stomach. "So I'm going to ask you again Avery. Do you have a thing for April?" I hesitate before answering.
"I mean I literally just met the girl 5 minutes ago! Does she seem nice? Yes! Is she pretty? Hell yes!Doesn't mean I have a thing for her," I assured.
"Yes it does," Mark said, with a grin appearing on his dumb face.
"Did you not just hear what I said?"
"It's ok Avery, I'll keep your secret," He laughs, walking back into the cafeteria.
"Mark!" I try to call him back but he's already making his way over to the table. I recompose myself and then walk back into the cafeteria. I pass Aprils table on the way and I feel something weird when she turns and looks at me. I try and brush it off but I can't. I sit back down and the table, but the bell rings shortly after. We all get up and make our way to our next period. I sit down in History class and I see Derek sitting next to me.
"What was that about?" Derek inquired.
"What was what about?" I ask, looking down at my text book.
"Dude I'm not dumb, I saw the way you looked at April," He cackled.
I take a deep breath in, "Look man, I-"
"It's all good, just don't ask her out," He demanded.
I look up from my text book and give him a confused glare. "Excuse me?"
"Dude, my little brother wants to ask her out and there's no way you're gonna do that before he does." He grunts
oOo
Aprils POV
The day goes by pretty quickly. Before I know it, it's time to go to Alexandra's house. I leave last period and head over to my locker to grab my things.
"Hey!" Alexandra beams, "Ready to go?"
"Um yeah, almost, I just need to grab a few things!" I smile,
"Ok, I'll be waiting for you in-front of the school!"
I nod and continue to try and open my locker.
"Here let me help you with that," A voice behind me said. I turn around and see a guy I never met before. "Hi, I'm Matthew!"
oOo
I know that Derek doesn't have an actual brother but in this fanfic he does! Please lmk what you thought about this chapter.
