Intro
*First day of school senior year, walking into the school, sounds of lockers opening, friends catching up, and teachers directing students where to go.
Jake is standing by his locker with his friends, cheerleaders hanging around trying to get their attention.*
I open my locker and put my things away. Michael and Adam argue over the game coming up. I am getting ready to close my locker when I see her. She walked out of the library and into a classroom.
I hate that I notice her. She's everything I should hate but something about her drives me to her, and I can't let that happen.
Jacob notices my gaze and I slide the mask back on, ready to pounce.
Game time boys.
