Him & I

Chapter One:

Like any cliche love story there's a boy involved. And that said, this boy is cocky, egotistical, or a straight up jerk. Now in this case he's all of the above. But I'll let you make that decision on you own. In order for you to make that decision you're going to have to read my story. So, let's begin shall we? My name Hope Andrea and this is my story.

PS. I totally stole that last line from Stefan Salvatore (tvd)

It all started six months ago

Hope's POV.

I walked into Walmart in my fluffy bunny eared slippers and my princess pajama pants. Not the wisest choice I've made. But isn't my fault. You see I forgot to do a load of laundry this weekend so all my clothes are in the wash or dirty so, these were the only pants I had in my pajama draw. But back to what I was saying. My choice of clothing wasn't the best. People were starring at me as I walked down the isles looking for pads because my period decided to come while I was watching The Vampire Diaries. When I found the pads I was happy because I could leave all these judgey little stares from the costumers. But then I felt the need to eat some cookie dough Ice Cream. So I walked over to the Ice Cream portion of the store. After getting what I came for I walked over to the self check-out because it was almost midnight and the cashiers were closed but being the klutz that I am I had to fall on thin air. Groaning I lifted myself off the floor and searched for my stuff only to see them in the arms of Nikolaus Reed. Nikolaus Reed: Dark brown hair, hazel brown eyes, and very cute. He's also a very known for sleeping around school and hanging out with the not so nice kids at school. He also happens to be holding my pads and ice cream. I blushed at the thought. I grabbed my stuff from him and whispered a 'thank you' before walking away. You see I'm not very social. In fact I'm socially awkward. I don't like being in big groups because I never know what to say and I have a fear of being left out. That's why I only have two friends. Elizabeth and Eliza Gray who are just so happen to be fraternal twins. Who by the way couldn't be more un-a-like. They are total opposites. Elizabeth Gray: Blonde hair, blue eyes, and short tempered. Eliza Gray: Black hair, light brown eyes, and very bubbly, she is one of the happiest person I've met. She is also very happy early in the morning which is very weird because who's happy on a Monday morning. Eliza Gray apparently. But, anyway I brought my pads and ice cream and left the store which I was really happy about because now I could go home and enjoy the rest of my weekend before I could go back to hell on Monday.

Getting into my white and gold Ferrari I grove off into the sunset with the man of my dreams, my ice cream and pads....

Yeah, I wish. But on a real note I got into my white and blue rimmed mustang. I got this car before my mom died three years ago. I didn't really want t think about my mom so I got into my car played the radio really loud and drove home.

Monday Morning:

I groaned as I pushed the warm blanket off my body. I didn't want to get out of bed but I had to. I had to get an education as my father loved to tell me the mornings he was actually here. You see when my mother died my father started drinking his life away. Now he wasn't an abusive type which my brother and I were thankful for. He was a lazy annoying drunk. That was until Jordan and I spoke to him and told him we didn't like seeing him like this and that he needed to get up and start living again because we were both too young to get job. What we didn't expect was the fact that he was going to get a job that took him on long vacations and we'd hardly see him.

But anyway, after getting out of bed I left my room and walked into the bathroom I shared with my brother when he came home from college which was quite frequently because he liked to make sure I had everything I needed, and his collage was just a town over. So, I got undressed and stepped into the tub. The hot water burned my body and it felt good. I love hot water. Before I took to long in the shower I grabbed the shampoo putting the green liquid in my hand, then scrubbing my head with it. while I let the substance sit for a little I grabbed my dove body soap and washed my body with it. When I was done I rinsed my body of both the soap and shampoo, then put the watermelon scented conditioner in my hair. After a couple of minutes of letting it sit I rinsed it and got out the shower. Wrapping the brown towel around my body and another around my hair. I walked out of the steamed bathroom and walked back into my dull blue and pink room towards my closet I picked out my gray jegging and a white T- shirt. After putting on my clothes I brushed my hair and my teeth. I grabbed my backpack, phone, and charger and walked out the door to my car.

At School:

I walked into the building not being here. I was tired and drained. It felt like a typical Monday morning. I walked further into the school and headed towards my locker to get my books for the day. But when I reached my locker I noticed Elizabeth and Liza were standing there waiting for me. Elizabeth was wearing black jegging with a black t-shirt and a black leather jacket and had a frown on her face. Eliza on the other hand was wearing a yellow sundress and had a perky smile on her face. I was in between both of those feelings. I walked over to my locker and I was attacked by Eliza. She literally attacked me.

"Eliza.... you're hurting... me" I breathed out trying to get out of her reach.

"Come one sunshine let hope breathe." Elizabeth said getting Eliza off me. I threw Elizabeth a grateful look. She just shrugged.

"Sorry! I forget my strength sometimes." Eliza said blushing lightly.

"It's ok E, I get it" I said with a small chuckle. I walked over to my locker, opening it, I got my books I needed for the day. Which consisted of English, Spanish, Study hall, Lunch, and Geometry. Shutting my locker I turned toward my friends.

"You guys won't believe what happened this weekend!" I screeched thinking over my weekend.

"What?" Eliza said looking excited to hear a story and Elizabeth just well stood there un impressed as always.

"I went to the store because my 'little friend' decided to come early and I didn't have pads to I had to go to Walmart and while I was there I had this weird craving for Cookie and Cream Ice Cream. Well, then me being me I fell and you won't believe who picked up my pads and Ice Cream." I said felling the blush form on my cheeks again.

"Well, don't keep us out of the loop. Who was it?" Eliza said looking a little bit over excited again, Laughing I spoke again.

"Nikolaus Reed." I said quietly making sure no one could here what we were talking about but the hall was too loud to care about what a couple of nobody's were talking about.

"Well, damn. Did he do something to you? Because you're blushing really hard. Did he touch you? I'm going to rip his-.." Elizabeth started but I quickly cut her off before she did something drastic for no reason.

"No! He didn't say or do anything I was just embarrassed that he held my pads!" I said chuckling a bit nervously. " He didn't even say anything to me because I said thank you and ran off."

"Oh." Elizabeth said as the same time as Eliza said "I ship it!" I looked at them both weirdly and was about to respond but the bell rang so I quickly said goodbye and walked towards my English class.

Normally I didn't like having core classes in the morning because I'm tired and annoyed but Mrs. Lee made going to her class fun. She made jokes about the lesson we were learning and told us how it was. She was real with her students and I liked that. She even made fun of the students sometimes that makes us laugh. I'm happy to have her as a teacher. I smiled at Mrs. Lee when I walked into the classroom. I sat in the middle of the room because I didn't like to be too close and I didn't want to sit too far because it would be too far to see the board. The late bell rang and my classmates started to pile in.

"Good Morning boys and girl! I hope everybody had a great weekend!" Mrs. Lee said happily. We all responded with 'good'.

"I know you all didn't forget the rules in this class in a couple of day so, lets take out our notebooks and get to work on your warm-ups." She said taking a seat at her desk.

Warm-up: What is one goal you would set for your self and why?

I thought about the question for a couple of minutes before writing down my answer on the paper in front of me.

One goal I would set myself would be... to push myself out of my comfort zone because I think if I do I can become a better me.

"Alright, class lets start with the left side of the class. Jordan give me a goal." Mrs. Lee said.

"I want to make money and get girls!" Jordan said making all the boys go wild.

"Alright, alright settle down, Jordan thank you for sharing even if was inappropriate. Alex your goal please and please be respectful." she said shaking her head at the boys in our class.

"I just want to be successful Mrs. Lee." Alex said smiling. After Alex I stopped listening and waited for Mrs. Lee to call my name. When she did I blushed and I was about to speak when the door was slammed open and in walked...

Nikolaus Reed.

"Mrs. Lee! Looks like your class just got a whole lot more interesting!" Nikolaus said smirking.

"What are you talking about Mr. Reed?" Mrs. Lee said looking confused as the rest of us.

"Mr. Saunders placed me in here just now because Mr. Jake said he couldn't handle me anymore. What ever that means. " He said rolling his eyes.

" Alright Mr. Reed please take a seat next to Miss. Andrea." She said pointing at me making my eyes go wide. He looked over at me and all I hoped was that he didn't remember who I was. But the smirk on his face was telling me other wise. I might have to take Elizabeth on her offer. Ok I might not have to take it that far. Might. He walked over to where I was and sat down behind me but not before whispering

"You're welcome princess."

I was now scarlet red.
