Chapter 1

I drop the box right next to the others and sigh. "So much boxes to unpack." I mutter to myself and goes downstairs. I see my mom, Mary, in the kitchen and sits down at the table. "Can't I start school next week? Please?" Mom shook her head and sighed the not-this-again sigh. The one that I know very well. "We've been through this I don't know how many times I'm going to tell you Arielle. Do I have to smack you again?" She glared at me. I sighed and went to my room, closing the door behind me.

Before she married Albert, my step-dad, she was sweet and understanding. She would've never laid a hand on me or even called me names. But after she got married to that bastard, she started to see things his ways. If I didn't do something right she would call me lazy, a bitch who couldn't do anything for herself and complains about everything. I didn't have any friends because I didn't want them to meet my mom and step-dad. I was a loner and the quiet one.We used to live in Arizona, but we moved here to Glenwood Springs, Colorado. A small town and that is three hours away from Denver. I want to know why we moved here but I didn't have the guts to ask either of them. I just went along with the show. We got here around ten o'clock at night and I have to unpack everything before I go to bed.

I got started on the box that was closest to me and started my hours of unpacking.

Jake's P.O.V

I got home around six at night after playing soccer with my buddies John, Eric, and the soccer team. I was exhausted and smells like rotten onions. Well, at least that's what my mother, Denise, says when I walked through the door. "I could smell you all the way from Antarctica honey, go and take a shower. Dinner will be ready in about ten minutes." I chuckled softly and went upstairs towards my bedroom, passing my father's office. "Whoa, boy, you smell like a horse just took a dump." I rolled my eyes and smiled. "Yeah, one did take a dump right next to me. Can I come in?" My father, Andrew, stood up and closed the door in face. I laughed and went into my room. I stripped and took a shower.

It was nice to have my own bathroom. My family owns a lot of money. I mean, a lot of money. We have a two story mansion that could be turned into a castle. My friends tease me about having such a big house, and yet, only three people live in it. Sure only us three live in the mansion, but we have a lot of space, so we rarely run into each other, and that comes in handy for when I sneak out and go to parties or my girlfriend's house. Yes, I have a girlfriend. She's beautiful, funny, smart, and always needs a knight in shining armor. I love her so much that I can't even stop thinking about her. She's everything a guy could dream about.

I get out of the shower and changes. I run downstairs and sit at the dining table. Mom serves me a plate and I start eating. "So mom, are you going to my game tomorrow?" I have a soccer game against the Squids. "You bet I am! I want to watch you beat them and drive them into the ground." I laugh and spit a little food out. Dad shakes his head and chuckles softly, "Honey, let's tune our energy level down. But yes son, we both will be there and watch you beat the crap out of the Squids." I pick up the half eaten food and finish eating.

"Oh yes, I forgot to mention, we are going over to somebody's house after the game. And you're coming with us. They're new to town so we need to welcome them here to Glenwood Springs." I sigh. "Alright, fine I'll go, can I be excused? I'm exhausted." My mom shooed me out and I went upstairs and into my room. I got under the blankets and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Arielle's P.O.V

My alarm clock went off at seven in the morning. I groaned and shut it off. I hate waking up in the mornings. I get up and get's changed. I brushed my teeth and put a bit of makeup on. I grabbed my stuff and went downstairs to make myself breakfast. I poured cereal in a bowl and then milk after it. My mom comes downstairs and makes herself and dad eggs. She never makes me any and I kind of miss that. I finish my cereal and head out to catch the bus.

I get to the bus stop and waits there for about five minutes when it finally comes. I get on the bus and everyone stares at me. I guess they rarely have any new kids in town. I sit down in the back and looks out the window. We get to the school and I go straight to the front office. A nice old lady named Maurice gave me my schedule. The bell rang and I went to my first period. Or, at least I tried to. I got lost and I have no clue where I am. I turn the corner and run into someone that was running at full speed. We both fall to the floor hard. I groan in pain and sat up. I look over and saw a handsome guy getting up. I gathered my stuff. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were around the corner." He stood up and picked his backpack up. "Naw, it was my-" He froze when he saw me. It got awkward for a few seconds. He clears his throat. "It was my fault, I shouldn't be running. Anyways, I'm Jake." He sticks a hand out and I grab it and shake it. "I'm Arielle." I shake his hand. "Ah, you must be the new kid around here. Wait, I'm going to your house tonight huh?" My eyes widened. "You are?"

He smirks, "Didn't your parents tell you that we're going to your house?" I look down. "No they didn't, they don't tell me anything." His smirk fades and looks around. "Um, I better get to class, see you after the game!" He runs off to his first period. I then realized that I forgot to ask him where my first period is. I sigh and keep looking around. After five minutes I found my first period. I walk in and gives the teacher a paper to sign and he gives it back. I get a seat up front and I zone out for the remaining of the period.

Half an hour later the bell rings, I head to my second period, with the help of a student, and sits in the back. Students pile in little at a time and find their own seats. The last students that walked in was Jake and two other guys that seem like his buddies. He to the back and sees me. He smiles, "Hey, nice to see you again stranger." I smile back and stays quiet. His smile falters a little bit and he sits next to me. One of his buddies came up to me. This one was blonde and has blue eyes. "Excuse me little miss, but I believe you're in my seat." I blush, embarrassed and gets up and sits in the seat that's in front of me. "Thank you, very much ma'am." He plots down and get comfortable. "Really John?" I could hear Jake telling his friend. "You could've just moved to that seat and let the new girl sit in your seat for one day." John stays quiet and leans forward and whispers to my ear. "Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were knew. I'm John the by the, Jake's buddy." I turn around and our lips almost meet and I blush again, leaning back."I'm Arielle."

He grins, "You're a hottie. You want to come to my house around, let's say eight? I got the house to myself and I could make all of your fantasies come true." I swallow hard and my eyes widened. "Uhh..No-" Someone interrupts me, "John! You promised me that, that's no fair." I turn around and see a blonde girl come up next to my desk and pouts. He laughs and grabs her hand. "Awe, don't worry sweetheart, you'll get yours in a special package." She looks satisfied and walks to her desk. Jake shakes his head and tries to smother his laugh. I turn around and ignore the boys. I start to draw in my notebook as class starts.

Jake's P.O.V

I didn't want to be late again so I was running down the hallway of the school to my first period. I turn a corner and Wham! I run into somebody. I get up and pick my bag off the ground. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were around the corner." I look up, "Naw it was my-" I looked into the most beautiful brown eyes ever. The pair of eyes belonged to a beautiful girl. She had long brown hair that went past her shoulders and ended at her elbows. Her face had a few freckles and pink lips that looked so good that I wanted to taste them myself. I clears my throat and get the thoughts out of my head. "It's my fault, I shouldn't be running. Anyways my name's Jake" I put my hand out for her to shake. She grabs it and shakes. "I'm Arielle." I let go and so does she. "Ah, you must be the new kid around here. Wait, I'm going to your house after the game right?" She looks shocked. "You are?" I smirk. "Didn't your parents tell you?" She looks down, "No, they don't tell me anything." My smirk fades and I feel a pang of sympathy. "Um, I better get to class, see you after the game!" I run off to my first period. I sit in my seat. My mind wonders to Arielle without my permission. I just couldn't help but think about her. Her eyes, lips, freckles, nose, and her body. I could not get my mind off of her body. I smack my forehead. "You got a girlfriend you idiot, you're not supposed to be thinking about another girl's body when you have a girlfriend." As if she heard me, Brittney came through the door. I watched her hips sway as she walks up to me.

"Hi babe." She leans down and kisses me. I kiss her back. She breaks the kiss and pouts. "You didn't smack my ass, what's wrong?" I roll my eyes and smile at the mention of her ass. I reach around her and grabs her ass and squeezes it. I smack it a few times and let go. "Better babe?" She giggles and walks over to her seat and blows me a kiss. I smirk and and looks at the book that I'm supposed to read. I only got a few words in until my mind focused on a certain body. The body that I ran into earlier.

An hour later the bell rang. I closed the book and walked out of class. Brittany grabs my arm and kisses me straight on her lips and walks off. I turn around and walk over to my next class, but my buddies grab me and starts to shove me around. "Alright guys enough, we're going to be late for class." They laugh and stop. We all walk in class and heads to our seat. I look up and sees that Arielle is in John's seat and I think, This is going to be interesting. I sit down next to her. "Hey, nice to see you again stranger." She smiles and stays quiet. I got a little disappointed. I wanted to hear her voice again. John goes up to her and says, "Excuse me little miss, but I believe you're in my seat." She blushes and sits in the seat that's in front of her. "Thank you very much ma'am." He sits down and gets on his phone. "Really John? You could've just moved to the seat in front of you and let the new girl sit in your seat for one time." He stops his tapping and looks at me in shock and then the back of Arielle's head and then back at me again. She's new? He mouths at me. I nod my head and sit back. He leans forward and whispers something in her ear, which gets me angry for some reason. She turns around and their lips almost touched. I clenched my fists together and tries to calm myself down. She introduces herself and John says his usual line to every hot girl he meets. Victoria comes up and hears what he says and starts to whine about it. I couldn't help it but cover my mouth from laughing. She always complains that she doesn't get much attention from him. John talks to her but I don't listen. I see Arielle looking at me but I couldn't really talk because I'm still smothering my laugh. I try to control myself so I could talk to her but she turns around and starts doing something in her notebook.

Through most of the class, I payed attention to Arielle. I watched her every move and becomes fascinated how her hair just moves with her and how it shines when. How she plays with her hair when she's thinking of something. I yearn to touch her hair. I shake my head and focus on the teacher for the rest of the class.
