*Laura's POV*

"Laura you so have the hots for him", my best friend Ashley argued on the phone.

"Ewww yuck", I exclaimed. "One, he is a sophomore, you know how I feel about dating younger guys, two, he ain't cute at ALL, and three... he is Jesse McCartney, member of Gaystreet! You know I hate them".

"Well gotta go, brat needs the phone", she said.

"Ight. Well talk to ya laterz", I said.

"You like him!", she said and hung up.

She was wrong and she knew it. Or was she right and I just didn't wanna admit it?

*Next Morning*

"Good morning White Plains! It's 9:29 a.m.", my radio said as it turned on.

I opened my eyes.

"9:29? Oh shit! I am late", I screamed grabbing my keys and a folder and heading out the door knowing that I was still in my PJ's. "Oh well. I surely don't need to impress no one today".

Shortly after I arrived at school. I barged into the library.

"Laura, do you have any idea what time it is?", the monitor asked.

Jesse looked up at me and rolled his eyes.

"I overslept", I explained.

"You were the last time arrive, so you shall be the last to leave", she stated.

"Great!", I thought.

I looked around for a seat open, only one was the table Jesse was at. The monitor went in the back to watch her soaps.

"I'm not sitting here by choice!", I pointed out.

I threw my keys and folder on the table and sat down. I opened up my folder of ideas for songs.

"Why do you hate me?", he asked me.

"I didn't say I hate you. We just have nothing in common, therefore, we don't get along", I stated.

"We have more in common than you think", he mumbled.

"What was that?", I asked.

"I said we have more in common than you think", he said repeating himself.

"Oh really now?", I questioned. "How so?"

"Well for one, we have the same favorite group: New Found Glory", he said.

"One thing in common. I'm impressed", I said sarcastically.
