It was really weird coming to school in Cole's car.

Cole refused to let me walk like always. I tried to persuade him but he wouldn't have it. He said that from now on, he'll be taking me to school and back. I wasn't allowed to say no. He said that he wanted to show everyone that we were friends -painful I know- and that he wasn't embarrassed about it. He was proud to be my friend -ouch- and isn't going to hide it. I was touched and hugged him tightly. It was the sweetest thing anyone has ever said. Many people are embarrassed of being near me. I am an embarrassment. But Cole didn't care about all that and that made me incredibly happy.

So now here I am. In Cole's car. Only approximately 2 minutes left until we reach school. I was nervous. People will think even worse about me. They'll think I'm a slut. Cole's popularity will drop. Mine will become a negative number.

"Lex?"

His voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up at him and saw him looking at me in worry. I looked around and saw that we were already parked.

"Are you okay?" He asks

"Cole...this isn't a good idea. People will think-" I say but get cut off by gim

"Lex stop. We've discussed this before

Let them say whatever. It WILL NOT affect our friendship in any way. If they don't like us being friends then they can go fuck themselves. I don't care about what they think." He says sternly

"Okay. Okay. I'll stop worrying." I sigh

"That's better!!" He says. He gets out of the car and is immediately swarmd by people, most of them bein girls. I take a deep breath and get out of the car. People don't spare me a glance a they are too busy fawning over Cole. I sneakily escaped and hurriedly walked to school unnoticed. I rushed to my locker where Jess was.

"Hey Mrs. Jessica Hunters." I smirk at her.

"Shut up. 1. Don't use my full name. It's disgusting and 2. Don't call me Hunters." She blushes when she says number 2

"Why? It sounds good. Jessica and Chase Hunters. It sounds perfect" I smirk

"Yeah yeah whatever Mrs. Reynolds" she smirks this time. That shut me up.

"So have you talked to him yet?" I ask her

"No" she sighs

"Dammit Alex...I really like him and it sucks cause he's probably fucking some other girl right now." She says

"I don't think so. Chase wouldn't do that" I say

"How would you know" she says. I purse my lips and stay silent.

"Whatever. Let's just get to class." She says pulling me to class

On my way to the cafeteria for lunch, Jess came over to me.

"Okay what's up" she asks

"What do you mean?" I look at her confused

"You were texting IN CLASS." She says

"So?"

"You never do that!!!" She exclaims

"It's nothing Jess. Now come on, I want food." I say

I grab her arm and drag her to the benches by the soccer field. She looks at me confused but I ignore her and continue texting on my phone.

"Alex...the cafeteria is that way" she points to the opposite way of where we were going.

"Oh shit. Sorry Jess. I'll just get our food and you wait here."

I quickly run away, leaving a confused Jess. I sneak behind the bleachers where Jackson and Harrison are hiding with tons of heart shaped balloons full of helium and two guitars.

"Is everything ready?" I ask

"Yeah. We just have to wait-nevermind there he is."

We watch as Chase approaches Jess. Jess freezes up at the sight of him and I could tell she was getting nervous. We move a bit closer to them to hear what they were saying.

"Hey Jess..." Chase says

"What are you doing here?" Jess asks

"I wanted to talk to you"

"Chase can we please not talk about that. It was a drunken one night stand." Jess pleads

"No. No. It's not about that." Chase says

"Then what."

"Well...."

This was the twins' cue to step out from beind the bleachers. Jackson and Harrison started playing the guitars to the tune of I'm yours by Jason Mraz. Chase started singing the lyrics and Jess stood frozen in her place.

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it

I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted

I fell right through the cracks

Now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out

I'll be giving it my bestest

And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention.

I reckon, it's again my turn

To win some or learn some.

But I won't hesitate

No more, no more.

It cannot wait,

I'm yours.

Well, open up your mind and see like me,

Open up your plans and damn you're free.

Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love.

Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing, we're just one big family

And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved

So I won't hesitate

No more, no more.

It cannot wait,

I'm sure.

There's no need to complicate.

Our time is short.

This is our fate,

I'm yours.

At this point Chase stopped singing and the twins took over. Chase took Jess' hand and started twirling her around. They both laughed as they danced to the song.

Do you want to come on, scooch on over closer, dear

And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror

And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer

But my breath fogged up the glass

And so I drew a new face and I laughed.

I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason

To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons.

It's what we aim to do.

Our name is our virtue.

The two had stopped dancing and our now just standing in each others arms. Chase continued singing to her.

But I won't hesitate

No more, no more.

It cannot wait,

I'm yours.

Well, open up your mind and see like me,

Open up your plans and damn you're free.

Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours.

So please don't, please don't, please don't...

There's no need to complicate.

'Cause our time is short.

This oh, this oh, this is our fate.

I'm yours.

Oh, I'm yours

Oh, I'm yours

Oh, oh,

Baby, do you believe, I'm yours?

You best believe, you best believe, I'm yours.

As the song ended I came out of the bleachers with a huge sign in my hands. The sign simply said Jess looked at me with wide eyes and looked back at Chase who was holding a smaller sign that said

Jess gasped and covered her mouth. Chase was growing anxious with every millisecond that passed by. Jess then tackled Chase into a big hug, catching him off by surprise. They end up laying on the floor.

"OF COURSE YOU IDIOT" She yells

Chase looked at her with wide eyes then hugged her back tightly. The twins and I cheered and released the balloons in the air. Jess looked up happily while Chase looked at her happily.

Jess ran over to me and gave me a huge hug while the twins congratulated Chase.

"So this is why you were so stand off-ish and anxious the whole day." Jess says

"Yup. It's also the reason I've been texting in class." I laugh

"You risked getting caught." She said

"Anything for my two best friends." I winked at her

She laughed and gave me another hug.The boys walk over to us and Chase puts his arm on Jess' shoulder.

"Now let's go eat. I'm starving." Harrison says. After he said that, his stomach growled loudly. We all laughed and headed to the cafeteria.
