FLASHBACK to when Jake and Abigail are 12

"Why do we even have to have history class??" Abigail complained as we walked down the hallway of the school.

"It's important idiot." Price, her little brother mumbled under his breath as he walked by us. Abigail quickly heard the insult, grabbed the back of his shirt pulling him back and screamed at him

"WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE PRICE!?!? NO ONE LIKES YOU!!"

"Why do you have to be so mean?" Price whined. Sometimes Price could be really immature, but today I decided I would try to stop the argument by saying to him,

"Hey dude, I think Leah's staring at you!" Price stop yelling and Abigail started whining.

"EWW!!! Leah is my friend! Going after my little brother, disgusting!"

"You're just jealous because I have an admirer and you DON'T!!" Oh how wrong he was….

"Price, why don't you go talk to her. Get to know her. Flirt." I suggested. Price took the information and walked over to Leah. Abigail still looked disgusted while walking down the hallway and before I could say anything to cheer her up, her best friends Remy and Sidney walked over.

"So Abi, I bet you're just ecstatic about Price and Leah." Remy teased. Remy had black hair that stopped at her shoulders, she was pale and short with a great sense of fashion, a lot like Alice, but not as annoying. Sidney on the other hand was regular height, she had brown curly hair and was just as pale as Remy, except she didn't have a sense of fashion at all.

"Oh yeah I just love that one of my friends thinks that my little brother is hot!" Abigail said sarcastically.

"Whatever Abi. OH SHOOT WE'RE LATE FOR ENGLISH!" Remy nearly screeched.

"Crap! Uhh sorry Jake I'll see you after school?" Abigail asked frantically.

"Yeah go run to class. I know how Ms. Bergstrom gets." It's true. She almost gave me detention for writing "your" instead of "you're". When I watched Abigail and her friends run to class I realized that meant that I too was going to be late. I grabbed my books and ran to my class, Science. I made it to class just in time, but it didn't really matter if I was late or not, Mr. Meyer never cared if you were late. In fact, he barely noticed you if you were there and talking. All through class all I could think about was Abigail. I paid no attention to class until this girl Leah Georgie came up to me.

"Hey Jacob." Leah said flirtatiously, "So do you have a date to the spring fling? Because if you don't I know someone who might be interested." The spring fling!!! I totally forgot! What a perfect time to ask Abigail!

"Who?" I asked, trying to play dumb. I was usually pretty good at that and it usually turned off people.

"Well I don't know, but she's pretty cool." She was such a conceited whore. I stopped listening to her and decided I would talk to the person next to me. Girls HATE when guys stop talking to them or ignore them when they are in the middle of talking.

"HELLO!? DO YOU HAVE A DATE OR NOT!" Leah got so bitchy so easily.

"Um, yeah I do. Sorry." I answer.

"Whatever!" Leah mumbled as she walked away. Ten minutes until the end of class. Then I could ask Abigail to the dance. As I thought through what to say to her and how I would do it, a thousand things ran through my head. Did she like me? What would I say to her? How would I ask her? When? Would she say yes? What would I do if she said no? Did someone already ask her? What was I going to do? I asked myself so many questions and so many were left unanswered. I tried to calm myself down. I would ask her if she had been asked to the spring fling. Then, if she said no, I would say, "Well, do you want to go with me?" If she said no, I would say that it was okay and if she knew if anyone else she knew liked me. It would be fine.

The bell finally rang, letting me out of class so that I could ask Abigail to the dance. I grabbed my backpack from my locker and ran outside to the place where we usually met after school. As I turned the corner I saw Abigail. With Paul. Kissing. Shit.
