Juniper
She was short in height with deep brown eyes and strawberry blonde hair which was trimmed short and styled in a bob way. She wore huge glasses and pants instead of the pleated uniform skirt and I wondered if it was allowed. “Hi, you must be new here. I’m Jasmine” she greeted with a polite smile stretching out her hand for an handshake. I politely shook her hand “I’m juniper” “Wow, your name is so beautiful. I love it” she complimented nicely making me blush shyly. “Thanks” “Could you please direct me to senior homeroom?” I asked “Really? That’s where I’m headed off to. Let’s go together” she offered with a smile. “Okay.” The bell rang signaling the start of class and Jasmine immediately dragged my hand as we rushed off to homeroom together. We got to class right on time before the teacher arrived as we both took our seats next to each other. The teacher finally noticed me, his eyes brightening up in curiosity to know who I was. “You must be the new transfer student” he asked “Yeah I am” “Why don’t you introduce yourself to the class” he gestures for me to walk out to the front and speak. Taking small steps as I quivered in small sweats hoping I don’t make a fool of myself in front of everyone. “Hi everyone, my name is Juniper Torres and I’m from Barcelona, Spain” I introduced as the class just stared blankly at me. “Hi juniper, welcome to Daleton prep and homeroom. I don’t condone lateness so make sure to always be on time okay” he added making me nod my head to that as he sent me back to my seat. The teacher introduced himself as Mr Smith before he went ahead to teach the first class which was AP English. Ten minutes into the class three good looking tall boys walked in not caring about if they were late which earned them a frown from me smith. They were really tall and looked intimidating, I couldn’t see much of their faces since they all stood at the back of the class. “Mr Barrington! How many times will I tell you not to show up late for any of my classes. The same goes for you two” Mr smith raised his voice in anger, the frown still on his face. “Welcome back to school smithy” the tallest one spoke in a mocking tone making me gasp in shock at his rude confidence. “My girlfriend is coming to school today and I haven’t seen her in ages man” the other one answered causing the entire class to laugh at that. “What about you Asher?” Why are you late?” Mr smith asked wanting to hear his side of his story. “I don’t know, didn’t hear the bell ring I guess” he answered nonchalantly. “Detention! The three of you!” He yelled out in annoyance. “Whatever” they all answered. I subtly turned my neck to check them out and my eyes fell on Asher. He had ginger red hair and a small face that made him look cute. I noticed he had a sly smirk curled at the sides of his lip and a mischievous glint in his eyes. I turned my neck to look at the other guy with the girlfriend and I was amazed by how handsome he looked. He had green eyes and shaggy short blonde hair which was slightly tousled in the front. He had this calm demeanor to him it drew me in. I finally turned to look at the last one, the guy the teacher called Barrington and I couldn’t believe my eyes. This guy was hot! Like tear of my panties kind of hot. He had full brown curly hair, ocean blue eyes, dark long eyelashes, sharp chiseled jaw and straight pouty lips. I couldn’t stop admiring him, he looked like the bad boy danger type. He wore no expression on his face as he just stared straight at the teacher.Grayson My mind wouldn’t stop replaying what happened between me and juniper. I honestly shouldn’t have touched her but I let my emotions get the best of me and I just couldn’t control myself. She looked so beautiful and soft next to me and all I could think about was my hands on her and kissing those soft lips of hers till our mouths both got sore. I shouldn’t have dismissed her like that after what happened between us but I didn’t know what else to say or do to make the situation any better and deep down I was fucking scared of her rejection. It seemed better being the asshole than letting her hurt my pride by rejecting me afterwards. Not sure if that was her plan but I had no idea what was going on in her head but it was never my intentions to make her feel unwanted afterwards, but I’m damn sure my actions proved to her how much of an asshole I am and she’d definitely want nothing to do with me. I picked up my phone and texted Ivan to foward me the literature teacher’s numb
Juniper “Okay okay I’ll tell you everything. I made some friends in school and one of them happened to be one of the most popular guys in school. His name is Archer” “So who’s Grayson then?” She asked confused.“Archer’s best friend” I answered.“No way! You’re in between two best friends?! Girllll I never thought you had it in you” she teased with a laugh making me roll my eyes.“No Eva, I’m not in between two best friends. Archer is my new friend and he introduced me to Grayson. Well kinda introduced me to him. They’re three in number. Grayson, Ivan and archer” I explained.“Oh and they’re the most popular guys in your school?” She confirmed “Yes.”“I see, so you like Grayson?” She asked.“I think so.. I don’t know for sure how I really feel about him because he’s so grumpy all the time and very indifferent towards me.” I answered feeling very distraught about everything.“Oh so then why did you let him touch you? If you don’t exactly like him” “Eva it happened so fast, I wasn’t
Juniper He stood up and walked into his bathroom and almost immediately i covered my face with my hands starting to feel a lot of emotions wondering why I let him touch me like that as the embarrassment started to slowly eat me up. I could’ve stopped him but I didn’t because I’m stupidly attracted to him and also very confused. As I adjusted myself in my uniforms, he came out of the bathroom as I waited to hear him say anything but he just stared at me in a different way. I was about saying something, anything to make this situation slightly different from what just happened between us when he broke the silence. “You should go, I’ll tell Douglas to drop you off” He said so straightforwardly seeming to be back to his usual grumpy self as he walked out his room closing the door not bothering to give me a second glance. Well shit. Finally getting home and feeling extremely upset with so much anger directed at Grayson. I took off my shoes throwing my backpack on the floor as I
Juniper He opened his mini fridge and handed me a small juice box filled with apple juice. I gave him a confused look as he shrugged his shoulders. “I wasn’t expecting you to be here today”“Okay, thanks for the juice box I guess” i answered slightly rolling my eyes at his actions.“So where should we get started from?” He asked bringing out his literature textbook from his backpack as he sat next to me on his bed. “Miss Gilmore said we had to act out a short scene from the play she assigned to us and since ours is a love story I was thinking that we could play a little more differently in dialogue and actions. Like for example we could add like a little kiss scene.” “A kiss scene..” he muttered lowly slowly turning towards me making me feel suddenly nervous. “I just think that it’ll get us more marks and besides it’s a good idea”. I answered trying to feign confidence in my own choice of words hoping not to send the wrong message across even though deep down I wanted him to ag
Juniper Getting down finally with me following suit behind him I gasped in disbelief as we both walked towards his front door as I watched him ring a bell. I looked around the front porch of the building noticing a nice water fountain and a large chandelier which was hung on the ceiling right above our heads. “Welcome home young master Grayson” . A middle aged man greeted with a curt nod. He had white hair and his face was cleanly shaved. He wore a pressed black suit with shiny black shoes and white gloves. He must be a butler.“Hey Douglas. This is juniper” Grayson replied the man as he handed his coat over to him before walking inside his gigantic house. “Hi, I’m with Grayson” “Hello miss juniper, how was your day?” He asked politely as he collected my coat as i followed suit walking in.“It was okay. Thanks for asking”.“You’re welcome” he said with a curt bow and with that he was gone leaving me alone to look around the house in awe.The house had shiny white marble floor
Grayson The day had finally ended and I was ready to leave school and bounce. Packing up my bag with my mind worriedly whirling with thoughts about my father’s safety. “Ivan let’s all hang at archer’s place tonight” “Okay. We’ll call Cole at his place.” Ivan responds My phone suddenly started ringing as I picked it up to see that it was Juniper calling. Ever since I stole her number from archer’s phone I haven’t really had the guts to talk to her yet. “Who’s calling?” Ivan asked curiously snapping me out of my thoughts. “It’s an unknown number.” I lied as I answered it wondering why she was calling me and how she got my number. Juniper: Hi, am I speaking to Grayson?Grayson: Yes, who’s this?Juniper: Okay, hey Grayson. This is juniper. I’m calling to remind you about our literature project. We scheduled to work on it today. Grayson: I said Tuesday Juniper: Today’s Tuesday. Grayson: Well I can’t make it today, I have important business to attend to. Juniper: I see. Well I’
