Jeff’s family owned a crab and crawfish trapping company called Chandler and Sons, and he and his brothers literally are the richest kids in our school. “Yeah, I’ll ask my brother and see what his plans are. You should totally come to his friend Keegan’s party next weekend. It’s at the field near the Jackson’s farm. It’s his 16th birthday party,” I shared. I probably should have asked Keegan or Bay first, but it just kind of came out. “Dope. For sure! I think maybe my buddies Hale and Cyman would like to come too if that’s ok?” he asked and sort of invited them all at the same time. I agreed and we made plans to sit together at lunch Tuesday when school started back. After we hung up, my hands were shaking, but my face felt warm. “James, you are blushing my girl! I am so proud of you. We gotta pick you out something so super hot to wear for Kee’s party. Not that you care, but I think he should see what he is missing,” Casey teased. Casey calls me by my middle name so much that I

School had come so quickly this year. I kept waking up before my alarm, so when it was finally time for me to awake, I was exhausted. “Alexa, STOP!” I yelled, as if Alexa wasn’t programmed by me to blare Harry Styles’ music at 6:00 am. I rolled onto my back and pulled my koala bear mask off of my face. I had been excited all summer for sophomore year and now that it was here, I wished it hadn’t come yet. At Huffington, the 9th graders are at a transition building with the 7th and 8th graders. So we don’t get to experience the full high school scene until 10th grade. So even though this wasn’t my first year of high school, this was “my first year of high school.” I am going to need coffee today if I plan on surviving this day. Oh crap! I almost forgot that I was sitting with Jeff today at lunch. I scrambled out of bed and washed my face. I held my hair out of my face with a blue fuzzy headband. I brushed my teeth and ran to my closet. I really wish I had cleaned and organized it lik

The school week flew by and Keegan’s party was here. I love going to parties with the Patts. They are so much fun. My mom won’t come. She avoids them like the plague. It would be nice to see them get along though. I don’t think I have witnessed that. It’s become normal though. It doesn’t bother any of us kids any more. Keegan has two little sisters. They are twins: Kailee and Kelsie. They are 10 years old and the most beautiful little girls I have ever seen. They have the same blue eyes and blonde hair that he does. They all look like Mrs. Kyren. She is so beautiful. Mom said she used to model when they were in college. She was on thirteen episodes of Deal Or No Deal, as Case #20! Like such a celebrity Mrs. Kyren was. I wished her and my mom were still friends. We would have such a blast together I feel. I was most excited to see Jeff today. He had been so sweet all week. He even brought me a pack of forks to keep in my locker. They were plastic but silver so they looked super sophi

“You are such a beautiful girl, Brees. But the athleticism is what makes you so irresistible,” he said, stroking my cheek lightly with the back of his hand. He moved my hair behind my ears and pulled my chin up. This was it! Jeff was going to kiss me! As he leaned in, I did as well. He smelled so good and his breath was soft against my lips. As he ran his hand up my back gently, we were interrupted by yelling. I looked over by the driveway and it was Mr. Patts and my mom. I pulled away from Jeff instantly and ran over to my mom. “Drop the gift and leave Missy,” Mr. Patts said.“I am Jared. Just wanted to hand it directly to Keegan and he came over to say hello. You really have to settle down. I am not here to cause trouble,” she said. “Dad please. I asked her to stay for a second. Missy loves me like I’m one of her own. This is getting out of hand,” Keegan said. His face looked so distraught. I know he hated this feud more than anyone because of how much he loved them all. “I am

Jeff grabbed my hand as we walked down the driveway. I could hear Keegan’s mom yelling for everyone to gather around for cake soon. I looked up at the moon, it was so big and beautiful. It hit Jeff’s face in such a delicate way. It made him look almost angelic. We turned around to walk back down the driveway and he finally said something.“Brees, I like you, which I think you know. I was wondering if you would consider being my girlfriend?” he said, stroking the back of my hand with his thumb. I looked at him and then over to the picnic table where they were singing Happy Birthday to Keegan. I longed for that boy to be mine, but he made it very clear that he doesn’t want that. Before I could even answer, the song was over and Jada grabbed Keegan by the face with both hands and kissed him. I had never seen him kiss anyone even though I knew in my heart that he had. He had a girlfriend before Jada when he was in 9th grade, but she moved away. He kissed her back and picked her up off of
