Chapter 1:

Katie Martin sighed when she awoke from the alarm clock blaring on her side table, she rose from her warm bed and crossed the room to the bedroom window. Glancing outside, she noticed a black 2006 mustang parked on the street across from her house.

"Yes! He's here!" She whispered in her soft, usual and normal voice. Quickly as she could, Katie got dressed and checked her backpack for all her books then she ran down the stairs almost tripping herself, she almost felt her heart stop when she saw the handsome young man sitting at her kitchen table. He glanced up from his homework he hadn't finished the night before, as he and his girlfriend, Katie, were talking for hours on end that Sunday night on the telephone. He did not have time to finish his twelve grade homework he had had. Hesitantly, Walker Brown stood up from the table and stared at his girlfriend, "Hey Katie…" He grinned, still gazing deeply into her

light blue eyes. Katie just had to adore and love the sexy and hott grin he always wore upon his face. She couldn't resist but jog over to him and throw her arms around him. Walker had gone out of the country for vacation for two long, sad weeks to Florida. He kissed her soft, warm, comforting lips passionately, then their kissing was interrupted by Katie's sister, Jamie Martin,

"Oh my god you two, can't you make out some where's OTHER than the goddamn kitchen! People DO eat in here you know…" She exclaimed, with a jealous expression on her face, mostly she always had the stupid jealousy look on her face from other girls' boyfriends.

Katie was 17 and graduating, and Jamie was only 15 and in grade 10. But that wasn't all of the family members in the Martin family. There was also Alyssa who was only turning 13 and in grade 7.

"Whatever, little dewb. Were going… C'mon Walker." Katie smiled and reached for Walker's hand, and together they walked out to the 'stang out on the street.

At school, everyone was like staring at the couple.

"Um… Walker," Katie whispered as she leaned close to his ear.

"Mmm" He whispered back.

"Why are people starring at us like that, babe? It's not like they've never seen us together before…? We've been dating for 3 fucking years…" She asked him. Walker thought a moment to himself, "Uhh… I have no clue, Hun, but, do you want to eat lunch with me and Jason today?" He asked coming out of the whisper they were in. Jason was Walker's younger and only brother. Who was 15 as well as Jamie, Katie's younger sister… Jamie had a boyfriend named Alex, though he was moving away in a couple weeks… However, Jason had always been interested in Jamie.

"Sure, it'll be great… I'll see if Jamie wants to eat lunch with us too, unless she's too busy off with Alex or something… or with her lame ass cheerleader friends…" She answered, smiling warmly at him.

Katie's teachers kept pressuring her as she have no sweet clue what she was doing with the whole college or university ideas. She figured that her and Walker would just graduate together and then go to the same university… or if they even wanted to go, but she definitely knew that him and her wouldn't be breaking up in the near future, but sometimes she'd get a little worried about their relationship. It had been a very strong relationship full of love, hatred, hardships, and hills they still had to climb. Although it was very strong and meaningful, she knew that something could go seriously wrong and cause a dreadful break-up that neither of them wanted to happen.

Walker, on the other hand, was eager and willingly to go to any good college or university that accepted him. He didn't care much about school, really, all he cared much for was his long-term girlfriend and football, as he was the star quarter back on the High School's football team. He had his heart set for only football and his girlfriend, he really never focused on anything other than those two things. Like, he didn't care… he figured that he'd just have an easy life playing football in a good college. Although he totally loved the big idea of Katie and himself going to the same place for college. He loved her SO much, more than anyone could ever imagine… he wasn't willing to be away from her for a long time. Hell, he could barely stand going away to Florida for two weeks with his family for their family vacation.

The bell rang, signaling that all the Hartland High students get their slow-asses to class before the tardy bell rang. Katie frowned and said good-bye as she was really impatient in getting the back row seats in her Biology class with Mr. Anthony. She had already started walking towards the class, but Walker grabbed her arm lightly and gently and pulled her back into his arms. He pressed his lips against hers and pushed his tongues' way through to her mouth, she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer, the hall had now emptied but the couple in the middle, kissing. Katie pulled away when she heard the tardy bell and she blushed and grinned as she scurried off to her class.

Lunch time came fast, Katie waited for Walker by his full-sized, messy locker in the lobby. Jason was there faster than his older brother was.

"Where the hell is Walker?" Jason asked, frowning. Katie giggled, " I guess he's a little slow getting down the like three or four flights of stairs there is, I guess!"

Walker finally came down the stairs about 3 or 4 minutes later, he didn't look happy AT ALL…Katie frowned, and walked toward him. When she reached him, she hugged him tightly. "Aww, babes, tell me what's the matter…" she said quietly as she hugged him.

"Stupid Justin Thompson told Mrs. Mahoney that I punched Bradley Adams, he called you a bitch, what the hell was I supposed to do! He was talking about my girl!" He exclaimed loudly and angrily, causing the people in the lunch line to turn around and stare.

"Aww, Walker, hunny, it's okay." She leaned a bit closer… "Well, if your not staying at school for the rest of the day, then neither am I." Walker grinned. He kissed her quickly then they went to the office to sign out of the school. All students were required to 'sign out' on the sign out list before they left the school grounds, unless they were going downtown to get something to eat for lunch. They then tried as hard as they could to 'casually' run out of the building and to the mustang parked in the senior's parking lot.

"Okay everyone, clear off your desks' for a pop quiz!" Mr.McIntyre said. All the students in the Social Studies class groaned, as all day they were having pop quiz's and tests.

After the quiz and at the end of that period, Jason rushed over to Jamie's locker where she was scrounging around for something really important…

Jamie noticed Jason and she asked, "Hey, Jason, what are you doing here?"

"Uhh" He hadn't really thought of what he was going to say to her.

"Well?"

"Uhh"

"I haven't got all day, you know!"

"I…I"

"Oh my god. Hurry up and spit it out!"

"I…I love you, Jamie…" He stuttered, almost as if on cue, his face flushed red from embarrassment.

"You WHAT!"

"You heard you!" He snapped.

"Are you fucking kidding me!"

"No!" He screamed angrily.

She sighed, annoyed, and slammed her locker door shut.

"Why the fuck are you so goddamned pissed at me?" He asked, calming down a bit.

The 15 year old, popular girl groaned loudly.

"It's just…well, it's just I can't believe that Alex is leaving in only like a week! Then my sister's boyfriends, brother comes to tell me that he likes me!" She snapped.

"Well jesus! It's not my fault! It's just the way I feel and nobody can change that, Jamie, you heard what I said, and I meant it. I love you!" He exclaimed.

Jason rolled his hazel eyes and walked away… kicking the garbage can as he slipped out the back doors for some fresh air…

"I can't believe her!" he whispered to himself.
