closed the door and plopped down on my bed. For a few seconds I thought I would never fall asleep, but once I closed my eyes I was asleep.


Chapter 2
Introducing Stefan..... And Someone Else
"Hurry up and get out the bathroom, you little bugger!" I yelled. I started banging on the door with the side of my fist. My stupid brother locked himself in the bathroom trying to make himself look cool. Oh, I just realized, I didn't tell you about my little bugger, I mean brother.
He is eleven and is really annoying. He so annoying he drove Lily crazy. I know, it’s ridiculous, but she got used to it just like I did. The only reason I didn't mention him yesterday is because he was with his friend the whole day. I don't even know why I call his friend a friend. He’s basically a second brother. He comes around all the time. His name is Jacob. My brother’s name is Jake. You should take this as a hint to why they're friends. Since my brother’s name is Jake and Jacob's nickname is Jake, they became best friends quickly. They even call themselves J and J.
"Hey, my hair takes time. And you should give me that time," he said. I rolled my eyes. No matter how long he takes in the bathroom every morning, his hair still looks like he just rolled out of bed and did nothing to it. Speaking of time I'm going to be late if this little bugger of mine doesn't get out of the bathroom. "Whatever you little twit, I'm going to use mom’s bathroom," I said.

I got to school right when the morning announcements came on. I met up with Prue at the computer lab. "Oh my gosh," she said, "the hottest guy just walked through our school doors and I got to watch,"
I looked at her in shock, "Really? Do you know his name? I wish I was there to see. Give me the details,"
She taped her chin with her finger for a while, "I only saw a little bit of him because I was talking to Katrina. Oh, that reminds me, she needs to borrow your blue stilettoes,"
"Uh, she’s not gettin her nasty feet in my precious stilettoes. Anyway, how do you know if he's hot or not if you only saw a bit of him," I said, "you can't say a guy's hot unless you see all of him," We started walking towards are first period. I swear she doesn't know hot even if it was in her own room or in front of her face. "Oh whatever," she said rolling her eyes, "you shouldn't be worrying about him anyway. You have a boyfriend, remember?"
This time I rolled my eyes, "It’s not the same anymore. We used to have fun together. Now it’s like we're an old couple, we don't do anything anymore. Oh, by the way, my best friend is back,"
She stopped walking and stared at me with wide eyes, "Excuse me but I thought I'm your best friend?"
"That's true we have been best friends for like......forever. But I've known this person since kindergarten," We were right at the chemistry labs door and the first bell started to ring.
"Ok whatever, but just promise me you won't forget about me, Prue, the best’s friend since middle school," We walked in to the chemistry lab and we both froze at the same time. I froze because I saw Stefan. I don't know what she was stopping for, though. I turned to her, "That's the guy I was talking about, Prue. He's my other best friend," She didn't move an inch. I shook her a little and she still didn't do anything. So, I gave her a hard shove with my hip.
"Your best friend is the hot guy. No way, you have to introduce me to him," she whispered.
My eyes went big when I heard her say that he was the hot guy. "That's the hot guy that you were telling me about? Unbelievable, he is not hot. "
"Maybe not to you 'cause he's your friend, I mean what kinda friend would call a friend hot. You have to get him to ask me out," she said, still hypnotized by Stefan’s so called “hotness”. She started walking over to the seat next him, but another girl slid right next to him. I walked over to him and leaned on the side of his desk. "Hey, Stefan," I said. He looked up from the book he was reading. “Hey, we have the same chemistry class,” he said.
“Yeah, we do. I want you to meet my friend, Prue,” I said, pointing to Prue who apparently couldn’t stop smiling. She gave a shy wave and then looked down. Stefan was about to say something but Dr. Helen walked into the room. Dr. Helen was our chemistry teacher and she added a little bit more fun to chemistry. That was only because she usually showed what would happen if we put the wrong chemicals together, but only the ones that didn’t make a huge explosion.
Today was different though, she made us sit through a boring video. She said it would “better our education”. To be honest I don’t even remember why I joined this stupid chemistry class. After the movie started, Prue and I started whispering. “So, are you gonna try to… you know… hook me up with Stefan?” She asked. I turned to look at her and almost laughed. “I’m not a match-maker and he just got here let him get to know you first,” I replied, “Why don’t you come hang out with us this afternoon. Where going to go to the beach,” At this she nodded with no hesitation.
We didn’t talk for the rest of the period, but during that time I kept staring at Stefan. Thinking why would anyone would think he’s hot. I mean sure he’s got a muscular body and a face that when you look at you just want to frame. He was tan and had helmet hair that was the color of dirty blonde. Maybe he is hot? What am I talking about? I’m sitting here practically drooling over my closest friend. I wasn’t the only one though; the girl sitting next to him wasn’t even paying attention to the movie. I don’t blame her, I mean the video was out of the world boring, but it would’ve been better if she tried to hide how much she was staring.
The movie ended shortly after that and so did the class. Most of the class was asleep, but Dr. Helen had a solution for that. Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to know what that solution was but she told all of us that were awake to leave the classroom.
I went looking for Stefan when class was over because he had left before I could talk to him. I couldn’t find him, but it doesn’t matter because we’re going to hang out later to catch up.
Most of the school day was boring until there was fight in the hall between the transitions to the last period of the day. I didn’t really get to see it because a teacher that was monitoring the halls broke it up. I went straight to my class after that and was happy I did. In my last class was Stefan and there was an open seat right next to him. I walked hurriedly over to that seat because I know how many girls think he’s hot. I gave him a quick wave because class was about to start and he waved back.
During class I started falling asleep; who wouldn’t, my last class was social studies. Stefan had to slap me on my arm a couple of times and then he would laugh. I was kind of embarrassed even though he was just my friend. Class ended a little bit quicker than I expected, but I don’t argue with time.
I was happy to be getting out of school because I would be spending the day with my two best friends. Stefan and I were waiting outside waiting for Prue to come out of the school. Were about to leave when she showed up. We started walking down the row of cars and some empty slots. A car pulled up along the side of us; it was Seth –I knew it was him because of his car. I walked up to the side of the car and he rolled down the window. He looked over my shoulder, and then looked back at me. “Where are you going?” he asked.
I looked behind me and told him, “Me and my friends are going to the beach. Do you wanna come? I could ask them if you could tag along”
He looked over my shoulder again then asked, “Who’s the guy?” He eyed me suspiciously.
“He’s just a friend,” I said with a sigh
“How come I’ve never seen him around?” He asked
“You have so many questions today. He just got back from Chicago and we were best friends for like ages. You have nothing to worry about and if you don’t believe me then come with us,”
He shook his head, “No, I trust you,” He said, “I’ll talk to you later,”
“K, bye,” I replied. He rolled up the window and I turned back to my friends who patiently stood there waiting from me. We kept walking down the aisle of cars, and then Stefan stopped us in front of a shiny red Rover. Both I and Prue’s jaw almost dropped to the ground. “Is this your car?” He nodded with a big smile on his face. I turned to him in dismal.
“My parents want the best for me. And when I say the best, I mean the best,” He said. I playfully punched him the arm. “Ow!” He said rubbing the side of the arm.
“This is so much better than my red bug,” I said with jealousy
“Where and when did you get this sweet thing,” Prue asked checking the car out like she knows what she’s doing.
“We could waste our time going over my car or we could get to the beach,”

***
It took us a while to get there because Stefan didn’t know the way very well. We had to stop so Prue could drive. I didn’t want Prue driving because it makes me feel a little queasy, but as long as I’m going to the beach I’m happy.
Finding a spot was easy because there weren’t a lot of people there at the moment. We settled everything down and went to go change into our bathing suits. When Prue and I went back to our spot Stefan was chatting with some girl. “Probably wants his phone number,” Prue whispered to me. I nodded my head in response. The girl didn’t leave though; she sat down and made herself comfortable.
When Prue and I got close enough to see who it was, we both got tense. It was Amber Jones. We hated Amber ever since the day she told everyone that we were lesbians. Anytime people saw us hanging out together they would shout lesbian to us. Amber has a best friend too and they share everything together, yet they don’t call them lesbians? I wonder why.
Amber and Stefan both turned around when they heard us approaching. “Hey,” Amber said.
“Hi,” I replied. Prue just stood there looking around not saying anything. I don’t blame her for not doing anything though because Amber used to pick on her the most until we became best friends. I guess she saw me as a threat, which I should be. I nudged Prue in her
