Chapter 1

Imagine that perfect guy who is madly in love with you and thinks your perfect. Who always looks out for you. Who sings and writes songs about you. Who makes your day by kissing you. Am I expecting to much? I've never really been good with guys, the looks the flirting, it's all so complicated, but not for long...

I stepped into class taking my seat next to my crush, I hated sitting next to him in the morning. It always ended up badly. He had sun kissed skin and dark hair which flowed over his eye. I could only dream of looking into his deep blue eyes. "Hi Dylan," I said awkwardly to him hoping for a response. "Hey Rachel," He replied smiling. His smile was so alluring I had to stop myself looking into his eyes or I might start to dribble!

As soon as I sat down I noticed this goofy boy sitting opposite me. He stared and stared at me all the time, everyday. He even told me he liked me a lot! Normally I would be nice about because I feel like that about Dylan but this guy was just annoying. I'm already in a love triangle, I just really wanted to know who Dylan fancied.

Weeks went by and I sat in biology next to Dylan. I was totally ignoring the teacher and instead staring at the side of Dylans beautiful face. When the teacher gave us work everyone was talking about who they fancy.Dylan turned to me as he had already asked everyone else "So, Rachel who do you have the hots for?" he asked."Ummm, I uhhh dunno.""She likes YOU!" I heard a voice shout. The whole class knew somehow. "OohLaLa" I heard another voice shout.I ignored them and replied to Dylan, "SO who are you into?"
"I really love..."

The bell rang before Dylan could answer, it was like he wasn't sure what to say.I ran off to find my friends at lunch, I saw Vanessa with her boyfriend Liam, they were practicly eating each other. So I tryed to find Katie and Neve, but I saw them sitting on a bench watching the jocks kick a ball around. I was too depressed to watch more guys I couldn't get because I 'Wasn't good enough'.

I went to a free music room and strummed my guitar. The door burst open and a boy around my age came in. "Hey I'm new here, I'm Callum. I heard you playing guitar and i was pretty amazed!"
"Thanks, I'm Rachel" I replied Callum had the same sun kissed skin as Dylan, but he had blonde hair which covered one of his eyes. His lips looked soft and I wandered what it was like to kiss them."Mind if I listen?" Callum said I nodded.

I carried on strumming. I came to a note I couldn't do. He leaned over me moving my hands gently to the right place. His hands were smooth and my hands tingled when they touched his. I looked up at him next to me into his eyes. I had never looked into a boys eyes while they were looking at mine. I looked at the ground and smiled. He leaned closer to me and tilted my chin up. Was he going to kiss me?

Callum pulled away as Dylan walked through the door. I sighed, got up and left. I knew it was too good to be true, Ally and Abbie stood outside the door, the most popular girls in school had seen me about to kiss Callum! This was bound to end badly! "Hey! It's Rachel right? Your invited to my beach party. It's after the schools Halloween Disco, see you there!" Abbie sounded confident and strutted away. Did I really get invited to the most popular girl in schools party? Hang on a sec, Halloween Disco? Thats why everyone was flirting with the boys, I needed to act fast. Or does the girl never ask the boy?

I imagined dancing with Callum, but Dylan kept coming to my mind. There was always 2 slow songs Titanic and Teardrops on my guitar. Everyone would always wait till the second one to kiss, it was like tradition. I saw Callum walking home from school I caught up with him. "Rachel!" he said, excitedly "I've been looking for you all day, I was wandering would you like too, ya know...." he blushed
"what?"
"The disco?"
"YES!" I screamed loudly, people around started to stare. The last thing I remember is skipping all the way home grinning, how embarrasing!


I zipped up my red dress and curled my straight brown hair. I wasn't sure if I looked good enough so I just crossed my fingers. Callum was waiting at the gate of the school with Dylan. I felt awkward seeing Dylan, but that all changed when I saw Abbie run up to him with the shortest dress possible, almost tripping in her stilettos.

I felt a bit jealous, I thought I was over Dylan. Callum led me in gripping my hand tightly like he didn't want to let go. He picked me up without struggle and sat me on a table. He put his hand in his pocket and brought out something shiny and silver.

It was a necklace with a heart on it, he hooked it around my neck, shyly. I couldn't hold it in any longer, I threw my arms around him and hugged him. He lifted me higher so I was no longer on the table, but had my legs wrapped around him so I wouldn't fall. Then I noticed everyone staring, even Dylan.

Dylan turned back around to Abbie who looked angry since she wasn't getting all the attention. She moved in to kiss Dylan and instead of closing his eyes Dylan moved his face around so Abbie would kiss his cheek. I looked in amazement and smiled at Dylan proudly. Callum was with his mates, dancing like idiots to LMFAO sexy and I know it. When Dylan approached me. "Hey Rach, I still didn't get to tell you who I'm into," he giggled."You like Abbie right? I mean isn't that why you came to the dance with her?"

"Abbie asked me, but I like someone else who already had a lad. She is really insecure for no reason and she is beautiful.""Who?" I wanted to know. Most girls at the school were pretty, but I was just normal.
"You!" Dylan grinned. I was so confused, was I really this pretty girl he liked, It couldn't be true. I was overjoyed, but what about Callum.
Abbie was listening in and she wasn't happy! She came up to Dylan and kissed him so hard he almost fell over. I tried not to look and just moved away, I felt sick and hurt. I really liked Dylan. Someone put there arms around me. It made me jump, I could see the muscle on there arm, It was Callum.
"The first slow songs coming, wanna dance?" He crossed his fingers."Okay," I managed to say normally, but inside I was having a party.The song started and he put his arms on me I did the same around his neck.
I stared at his lips, I really wanted to kiss them, but I had to wait till the next song,the song finished and Abbie came and grabbed my arm and pulled me outside saying "Dylan wants to talk" she took me to where a small ford stood.
She opened the door and I peared in. Next thing I knew I was lying over the seats, I had been pushed by Abbie and Ally and the worst part was there was no Dylan!
I sat up in the car, all the doors were locked. The next slow song would of started and everyone would be kissing now! The were two horrible thoughts coming to my mind, Callum might think I ran away because I didn't want to kiss him and Dylan would be kissing Abbie! I hate her! The only thing I did was cry for about half an hour, well thats what it felt like. I was suprised to see Callum walk out the school by himself. I banged on the window, but it was no use he had his head phones in.

I saw Ally run out of the school too. She stopped in front of Callum and kissed him right in front of me. She hugged him to comfort him and grinned over her shoulder in the direction of the car I was in.
Katie and Neve walked out the school next. I gave one hard bang on the car and they came rushing over. I explained everything and they walked me back to the disco although I didn't want to. I danced a bit, but the whole time Dylan was staring.
Dylan came over. "Rachel, Do you like Callum?" he sounded hurt "You got over me quickly" he frowned. "I'm not over you!" I really wish I hadn't said that "but Abbie likes you too."
"She's probaly just using me, you can never trust a girl like that!"I was shocked. I stared up into Dylan's eyes, for years I had always wanted to do this, but I never thought he would let me,I closed me eyes, I was unsure who I really liked. The next thind I knew was I was stuck to Dylans lips, they were soft like I always imagined and my lips felt like they were melting into his.
He stopped and I smiled. He ran his hand through my hair, gently. "I'm sorry" he finally spoke "I just couldn't help myself."

I gave Dylan a hug, he smelt fresh and clean. Just then I noticed Abbie and Ally with Callum, they were both pointing at me and saying something to Callum. Then I remebered I was still hugging Dylan. Callum came over and I let go of Dylan, I stepped back from him.

I ran as fast as I can home. What had I done? Abbie and Ally would be taking them over by now, I had to decide who I wanted, I had to get him back at Abbie's Halloween Party.

The hollidays had past and I spent my time choosing who I loved more. I went to Abbie's party with Vanessa, Katie and Neve. They all had boyfriends to hang around so I had some time to sort out my love life. I approached him. I had chosen callum because as soon as he met me he fell in love just like I did with him and still havn't got too kiss him!
I held the necklace he have me in my hand for luck."Hey Callum, I understand if you don't like me anymore, for kisssing Dylan, but I can't stop thinking about you and....I love you!"
He looked at me a bit sadly "I'm sorry Rachel, but I'm going out with Ally."

A tear splashed down my face, I opened his hand and put the necklace inside it. I couldn't bare to look at his face so I just turned around and went over to Vanessa who was with her boyfriend. "I saw everything, do you want me to sort it out?" she tried to cheer me up. "Whatever," I said only half listening, she picked up one of the many cakes for the party and chucked it into his beautiful face. Ally came up to Vanessa, Sometimes when boys had fights it was kinda cute, but since this was Ally and Abbie it was world war 3, well verbally anyway. In the end Callum dumped Ally and she didn't even notice, just shows how much she likes him. I felt like I needed to give Dylan all my attention since I just kinda forgot about him.

Chapter 2

I came up to Dylan, but he was already talking to a girl. I thought it was Abbie, but I looked again and it was Jennifer. She was just as pretty as Abbie and had the same dark hair as Dylan. The two of them were sharing head phones. This was the worst I had ever felt, now I had no-one.

I decided to face my fears. I walked over to Dylan and Jennifer. "Hey Dylan, who's this?" I asked faking a smile."Oh this is Jennifer, she's my sister." Dylan explained. I let out a sigh of relief. Jennifer walked away to some of her friends."You thought..."
"Yeah" I smiled
I remembered kissing Dylan, it was my first and only kiss. I never got to kiss Callum. "Your look amazing" Dylan said."Thanks," I smiled at the floor,dylan leaned over to kiss me and I leaned too. I couldn't hear anything around me, it was magical. I opened my eyes and smiled, but it wasn't Dylan, it was Callum.

Now I had kissed both boys, I stepped back and tripped over a rock. Dylan caught me even though I wasn't going to fall. "Are you alright?" Dylan said as if Callum had just punched me.

Dylan took his phone and ipod out his pockets and handed them to me. "Mind holding these? I have to finish this." he turned to Callum who was rolling his sleeves up. I had a look at his music and there was a song titled 'Rachel'. I clicked it and put the headphones in. It was him singing What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction. I didn't know he played the guitar like me.

"Look I wanna be the good guy in this, so stay away from my girl!" Dylan bravely said. I loved how he called me his girl!
"As soon as I met her I liked her, it took YOU ages to finally decide you did!" Callum argued. That was really sweet of him. Dylan punched Callum for that, straight on the nose, callum did the same to him. Abbie came up to me and pushed me over. "Your such a FAIL! You really think you are gunna get any of them boys?" Abbie laughed.

The boys were concentrating on there own fight and failed to notice Abbie trying to beat me up. I was never good with fights, so I just picked up someones slushie drink and chucked it at her face. Her makeup ran from her eyes and she looked like a panda and her hair was all wet and flat, ally came over to help abbie.
They dragged me along the floor and locked me in the spa room, I could feel the tanning beam on my pale skin. The steam was making it hard to breathe. I was wandering who won the fight, I must of fallen asleep because I woke up from a dream to the sound of the door opening. The steam cleared and I recognised the figure, It was Callum. I smiled when I saw him.
"Nice tan" he said.
"Even though your all sweaty from the fight you still manage to look amazing!" I smiled. He sat down next to me while he told me about the fight. I grabbed my shoulder, it was killing. "You alright?""I think it was from Abbie and Ally dragging me." I frowned.
"Those girls needs a lesson, I will deal with her later! Here lie down." he massaged my shoulder, It helped alot.

"Dylan won the fight to be honest, but I had the sense to try and find you." Callum explained. I sat with my head on his chest. "You really need to make your mind up on who you like!" he sighed trying to smile.

I sat there still leaning on Callum's chest, I thought about Dylan, he was my first kiss, he wrote songs about me and he realised Abbie and Ally were bad girls.I thought about Callum, he was my second kiss, but he liked me as soon as he met me, he gave me a necklace, he danced with me and he helped me with guitar.

As much as I loved the way Dylan wrote songs for me and was my first kiss, It was a dream come true when the perfect boy appeared out of no where, Callum.
I got up and said "I choose you. I'm sure this time." Dylan would be nice, but I have spent so many years with me and sometimes failed to even notice me.

"If your sure." Callum said then kissed me for ages, it was interupted by him getting a text on his phone. I could see the screen it read 'one message recieved from Katie Collins'. This was my friend Katie, whats she doing texting Callum?

I watched him open the text. It said:'Hey, you wanna come to my party tonight?'I got out my phone, no text for me. I was shocked she had been one of my best friends for years! "Are you going?" Callum asked me.
"I wasn't invited." I tried hard to hold back my tears.
"I don't want to go without you, but I think I will. I might be able to find out why your not invited." he comforted me.

Dylan must of found out I chose Callum, because when I got to school and sat in my usual seat next to him he didn't even say 'hey or look at me. I couldn't take it, but I couldn't change anything now. "I'm sorry." I tried, but he looked at me like I had just punched him. I heard a rumour that Dylan didn't get invited to Katie's party either, so I wasn't alone.

The party was tonight I went to bed early and waited for tomorrow when Vanessa and Callum could tell me what happend. The next day I didn't even bother straightening my curly brown hair, like I usualy did. I just rushed over to Vanessa's house. She had makeup marks all the way down her face, which looked as if they weren't coming off, she had been crying.

"It's Liam," she cried "Katie kissed him!"
I was shocked Liam was one of the nicest guys ever and if Vanessa didn't like him I would probaly fancy him, but I would never betray her like Katie did. I handed her a tissue. "That's not all," she frowned "she kissed Callum too."

I almost fell over. A tear rolled down my face. "Did he let her?" I asked expecting the worst."Yeah, I'm sorry Rachel." Vanessa hugged me. I took a deep breath and stopped mself crying. I put my hands in my pockets and I felt something hard, I pulled it out. I was Dylans ipod and phone.
I hadn't given them back from when he told me to hold them, I ran to the toilets and locked myself in a cubicle. I put the head phones in and listened to him singing that song again, he was really talented. There was a new one in he same album titled 'loosing you'. I felt really bad. I returned his phone and ipod in registration.
"I heard the songs." I whispered.
He blushed a bit. "I love them!" I smiled.

He smiled and then turned back around, "you chose Callum." was all he said. I passed Katie in the corridor and she strutted past me with Abbie and Ally brushing past my shoulder. She was becoming one of them, I watched her from the music window, she was kissing Callum. Had he forgotten about me? I put my guitar down and switched off the amps. It was all quiet until I heard someone singing and playing the guitar, I heard drums too.

I walked around all the music rooms until I found where it was coming from, I peared through the window it was Dylan's band. I watched him rocking out on the guitar, he was amazing. They were called Forgotten, but you could never forget a guy like Dylan! He saw me peeping through the window and stopped playing. The amp screeched and everyone held their ears. He opened the door and asked "What do you want?"
"You." I simply said.

I could tell he wasn't convinced, so I kissed him gently on his cheek. He grinned and kissed my neck, I didn't care about Callum anymore, I picked wrong.
Dylan moved up to my mouth and kissed me harder. Wow, it was amazing. Then I noticed the rest of Dylans band staring so I just said "See you later" and grinned. As I walked away I could hear the rest of the band shouting stuff like "Go Dylan!" and "Dude, that girls into you!" I giggled, guys were so funny.

It was maths and there was a new girl in my class, she was called Hannah. She was really pretty and it made me feel a bit jealous, but how could I complain when I had Dylan? The usual topic came around again; who people fancy. "I fancy Abbie." some guy said, nothings changed there. Then it was Hannah's turn "I quite like this boy in my french class he's called Dylan..."

"I like Callum." said Sarah who sits next to me. "Careful what you do with him around Katie!" I gave her a tip.I ran outside at the end of school quickly to find Dylan, but he was with Hannah! I just walked straight up to him and kissed him to prove a point. She gave me a look of evil and I kissed Dylan on his lips hard. I couldn't believe her."What do I taste of?" I asked sarcasticly.

Chapter 3

Hannah flicked her blonde hair in my face, then smiled at Dylan while twirling her hair. "You will be coming to the concert, right? I'm singing in it." she boasted."I'm in it too and so is Rachel, my girlfriend." he said.
She walked away. I held his hand on the way home, our hands fitted perfectly. He kissed me goodbye before he got to my door, so my parents wouldn't see and jogged home.

It was the concert tonight and all the music rooms were full. I was gunna sing Love how it hurts by scouting for girls, I loved this song because the video seems just like my life. I peered through the concert curtains to see Hannah. Before her song she had a speech "This songs for Dylan" she said as if they were going out.

I sang well while strumming my guitar, but I felt awkward the whole time because I knew Hannah was staring at me. Dylans band was on next, they did a speech just like Hannah. "This one's for Rachel and Hannah!"

I wandered if he only said Hannah because she said his name or mabye he likes her, after the concert I packed my guitar in it's case and walked out. I saw Dylan and Hannah leave together, I swear they were holding hands..and now they were kissing.

The next day at school I came up to Dylan."I saw you kissing Hannah!" I whispered. Dylan was speechless. I thought about how I had played around with Callum and Dylan, all because I didn't know who to choose. Now he was playing around with me and Hannah. I kissed him on the cheek lightly and said "Just choose Hannah, I'm sure she will be overjoyed." I walked away. He came after me and kissed me properly.

"You know Hannah's lips don't taste anywhere near as nice as yours." he flirted, I giggled.
"and kissing her is like kissing a painted wall with the amount of make up she wears!"
I gave him a hug, but then stopped. "But you were holding her hand!" I complained.
"You made the same mistake remember?" he asked.
I didn't say anything because I didn't want to bring up Callum in front of him.

"I'm having a party at my place on thursday, I will text you the details, you in?" he smiled.
"Sure" I said, Thursday was tomorrow, I needed to decide what to wear! I tried on loads of clothes before deciding on a vest top and a skirt.

I arrived at the party a few minutes late, I could tell Dylan had a lot of friends from the amount of people there. I saw Dylan with some of his mates, he introduced me too them. This one boy caught my eye, he had natural beach blonde hair swept to the side and full lips like me. He reminded me of Sam Evans from glee, my favourite program.

"Yeah." Dylan replied awkwardly, Sam must think I'm crazy. Oh well I have Dylan and that's all good, right? Dylan was downing a lot of wine, he was going kinda hyper, well if you call trying to swing from a light hyper! I noticed Hannah was there too, I couldn't believe he invited her!

Dylan went over to talk to Hannah when he saw her, I had enough of this. What is the point on having a guy if he was constantly flirting with other girls? There wasn't a point. Maybe being single could be fun?! Then I saw Sam again, I just loved his hair.

I looked at his light blue eyes which shone in the light, then I realised he was staring back at me. How embarrassing, he was probably wondering why I was admiring him like that, but then he smiled! I came over to him and said "Soz" like an idiot.
Before Sam could speak Dylan announced "Truth or Dare!" I couldn't believe I was going out with him he was so popular, but so strange.

I chose truth and Dylan got chosen to ask me something, "If you weren't going out with me, who would you go out with??"
Oh gosssh. I just blushed and tried to think of an appropriate answer.
"Ummm"
"Be honest, I don't care." Dylan mumbled
"S-Sam" I gave courage to say. I wish I didn't say it, but I talk a huge sigh pf relief when I discovered Sam wasn't in the room. He came in seconds later though and everyone was staring at him and then me.

Sam just came and joined in not taking notice. When it got to his turn Liam (Vanessa's old boyfriend) had to dare him. He waited then finally said "I dare Sam to kiss Rachel!"

Everyone was staring at me and I felt a huge wave of red on my face. I was worried in case he thought I wasn't good enough to be kissed by him! "How should I kiss her?" he asked innocently.
"Give her a proper snog!" Someone shouted. I was getting more and more nervous.

Sam came across the room and sat in the empty chair next to me.
"I won't if you don't want me too.." he whispered in my ear.
"But...I do." I whispered nervously back. He smiled, his smile made me feel like I need to smile back, so I did. He leaned closer towards my mouth..I was shaking like mad.

I closed my eyes and just waited. He caught his lips on my mouth and kissed me gently then kissed me a little harder and harder, until he was kissing me properly. This was the first time I had properly kissed a boy, open mouths and everything. I always imagined it would be disgusting, but it was calming. He stopped. I opened my eyes and smiled, everyone was staring at us..even Dylan.

After a while it got to Hannah's turn, she chose truth. Nobody could think of anything interesting by this point so someone just said "Who do you fancy?"She gave a grin "Sam obviously, he's my boyfriend." That's all she had to say to become my worst enemy! Dylan was staring at her strangly, I was staring at Sam and Sam was looking at me.

This went on for ages, but then Hannah got up and sat next to Sam and everyone started talking again. People eventually started to go home and Hannah left. I tried to avoid Sam for the rest of the time, the next day at school I was back to sitting by myself at lunch like I was a new girl again. Sam came and sat down next to me instead of sitting at the 'popular table'.

I smiled when I saw him, but I couldn't help showing my sadness. I hadn't seen Dylan for days now, rumour says he moved schools.
"So, are you alright?" Sam tried to cheer me up, but it was making it harder to hold in tears.
I was just so upset about how I was a loner again, even Vanessa would rather sit with Hannah! Hannah noticed Sam with me and got up to see whats going on, then without even eyeing me she just insulted me "You better step away Sam, ugliness might be contagious!"
"I better stay away from you then!" Sam backfired Hannah 'joke'

Hannah rolled her eyes like she knew Sam was joking. She then sat down next to Sam and made sure he didn't say another word to me. The rest of the day passed slowly. When I walked home it poured down with rain making my hair stick to my face. All the other girls had umbrellas or lift off their boyfriends. I felt the rain stop and I looked up to find a black umbrella above me, it was Sam.

I just looked back at the ground and walked on biting my lip. "So do you live far away?" he tried to make conversation.
"Yep." I replied
"You wanna come round to mine then, no-one wants to see you sick!" he said nicely.
I rejected the niceness trying to make him back off "Hannah does!" he laughed as if it was a joke. I squeezed the water out of my hair and ran the rest of the way home. Making sure not to look back at him. I didn't want to be in anymore trouble with Hannah!

As soon as I got home mum announced that she was taking me skiing for the short holidays. We drove all the way up to the rocky mountains. As we turned to park near the slopes the small car skidded and the wheels just span round. "Should I get help?" I asked her. "Someone will come, this happens alot here." she replied and just like she said someone did come. He came up to the window of the car and said "need a tow?" I looked up, it was Dylan.

He pulled the car out of the heavy snow easily, then mum made me get out the car to thank him! "Umm thanks Dylan." I blushed
"Where did you go?"
"Rachel! I didn't recognize you before, I came here for a break from school." he kissed me on the lips as if nothing had happened.
I looked back to make sure mum wasn't watching. "Well, catch you later I guess," I said, awkwardly. Mum insisted I get lessons so she gave me some money, as soon as she left I just got on a chairlift deciding I would try it myself. I was hoping not to bump into anyone since I looked stuffed in my ski suit.

"So do you ski here often, Rachel?"
GREAT! Someone I knew, but who was it? The voice sounded familiar. It was Sam.
"Umm it's my first time."
"No instructor? That's quite impressive!" he smiled. He was so close to me I could smell his cologne, Lynx. We were getting closer to the small hut where your meant to ski off the lift, when I saw a small boy fall over.
It couldn't be that hard, could it? Sam must of been watching my expression "Don't worry, I will help if you need it."

"Keep your skis straight you go right I will go left a bit, so we don't bump into each other" He advised. I did as he said but I couldn't balance and I toppled over, falling on top of him. "I'm so sorry!" I blushed like an idiot.
"Don't worry, it's your first time. I enjoyed that actually." he smiled, I was a bit confused how he could enjoy it, but I went along with it. He rolled off me and helped me up. My heart was beating fast.

I looked up into Sam's deep blue eyes and blinked. I felt like we were two magnets being pulled together, but then his phone beeped and it was like one of the magnets flipped pulling him away. "Hannah." He frowned.
"Oh," I sighed."He put his skiis back on and started to move, but stopped and turned around,
".Maybe I could help you get down, Hannah can wait, right?" he offered.
I giggled strangely. "Okay" He held my hand all the way down the small slope and made sure I didn't get hurt. He shouted at skiiers if they got in my way and caught me when I stumbled. When we got to the bottom I saw Dylan teaching a few young kids how to ski, I was so glad I decided not to take lessons.

"Don't forget the fireworks tonight," he shouted to us, "They're romantic!" he added.We stopped as we got to the bottom. Hannah walked out the shop near us with real ugg boots and a thin coat from abercrombie.
"SAM!" she screeched. He walked over to her making me come with. "Why are you hanging around with the abominable snowman?" she asked innocently, referring to my huge jacket. "I suppose t hasn't got a date to the fireworks tonight!" she teased
"Actually I do!" and I did.

Sam had asked me when we I fell over him. "Who?" Hannah asked surprised.
I smiled "Sam." I laughed. It was great to get her back! Hannah looked to Sam,
"Why did you say yes?!" she shouted making people stare.
"I asked her." Sam explained. Hannah's mum came out the shop carrying some designer shades and handed them to Hannah.
"Eww" Hannah shrieked "They are black! I wanted brown!" she chucked them on the floor and stood on it! Spoiled much?

"So are you two going to the fireworks together?" her mum asked not taking notice of me. Hannah looked at Sam
"Yes, Miss Robertson." Sam said with a straight face."I will buy you a new snowboard, Sam" Hannah's mum smiled."That's okay, don't waste your money, I could get a free one for doing lessons!" he explained.
"Cheap rubbish!" she complained "I will buy you a designer one!" I stood there with my mouth hanging open. Hannah kissed Sam on the lips, but Sam kept his eyes open focused on me...

at the fireworks:
I arrived early to loud music playing and Dylan helping set up. "Hey, Rach!" he called. "Oh Hey Dylan." He kissed me hard like he used to. "Sorry I just haven't had a chance to do that in a while," he smiled, I can't believe I had forgot what a cute smile he had! "It's fine, really!" I giggled.He grabbed my cold hand making it warm and pulled me along to show me something which was covered in a blanket. He pulled it off to reveal an ice sculpture of me and him....I was overjoyed, but what if Sam saw it.

Chapter 4

We were the only one's there at the minute. Moves Like Jagger came on the stereo. Me and Dylan immediately started dancing like idiots and doing Michael Jackson dancing and stuff it was a right laugh! Then I kissed him, I couldn't tell how long it lasted, but it lasted a long time. Long enough for the entire school to see us?!

Great rumors would start again. There was a band playing, it was Sam's band called 'Demanded' they were singing a love song, Hannah was dancing on the stage next to them. Personally I thought she looked like an idiot, but the small crowd of boys watching her didn't seem to think so. "Love you Rachel!" Sam announced at the end of the song. Hannah fell off the stage on shock, unfortunately the boys caught her. Everyone had their eyes on me..

Hannah got the microphone, "Dylan, would you go out with me?" She asked as if it was really important. "Umm Okay?!" Dylan agreed sounding a bit unsure. Everyone cheered. Sam pulled me up onto the stage and kissed me in front of everyone! I was as red as a tomato, but it was fun.. This wasn't good; I had now kissed two boys in less than an hour. Everyone was whistling. Hannah got Dylan and kissed him too, it was all getting really cheesy.

The fireworks and concert had finished. Mum rang. "I can't come and pick you up dear, I'm in a traffic jam, your gunna have to stay at one of your friends lodges." She explained.
"Okay mum, bye" I replied then hung up."What's up, Rachel?" Dylan asked as he walked past. "I need a place to stay for a few hours" I said.
"You can stay at mine" he offered. Sam interupted, "I don't think that's such a good idea, Hannah wouldn't like it. You can come to mine, Rachel?" He replied, but he sounded a bit nervous.

He took me for a short car ride, to his house, I realised it was poor part in the village. The house was small, but cosy. There was a taller version of Sam in the house, with slightly broader shoulders. I assumed this was his brother. "Is this the girl you always talk about?" He asked Sam.
Sam blushed a bit, but you couldn't notice much because of his tanned skin, he looked over to me, so I smiled. "Well, she's cute.." his brother continued, I couldn't believe it! No-one had ever said that to me before! "I'm not" I frowned. "Your kidding!" Sam started, "Your beautiful." he blushed.


Hannah walked through the door. "Hey guys, I hope you don't mind I invited a few people to come here for a party." She grinned evily. In the next few minutes the place was packed with teens from our school...

I could tell Sam wasn't happy, but he was chilled, until Hannah squeezed hair dye over my head. I was so mad, it was blonde too so there is a good chance my hair will end up being ginger, which really won't look good for me! It went over my eyes so I couldn't see, I tried to wipe it off. Sam carried me to his bathroom and washed it off in the sink. "Sorry" He apologized as if it was his fault. I looked up in the mirror to find blonde hair....

A teardrop fell from my face. "It looks nice, same colour as my hair," he whispered. "But it suits you..." I cried. He smiled even though I was crying. All the water from my wet hair was now going into my eyes and it was stinging. When I least expected it Sam kissed me, but it was a proper kiss. All the water from my hair was dripping down his smooth face, but he didn't seem to care. The some guy from our school opened the door "umm I need the toilet" he said, awkwardly. We came out the bathroom and I dried my hair with Sam's sister's hair dryer.

Vanessa came up to me, maybe she did care for me just a bit "Nice hair" she smiled. "Told ya" Sam teased. "Could you get the big water bottle out the cupboard for me please? Everyone's getting thirsty." Sam asked. "Sure," I replied kindly. I opened the huge walk in cupboard and went to find the bottle, when Someone pushed me all the way in and closed the door...

I banged on the cupboard door really hard loads of times. Then I heard Hannah say "Gosh, what is Rachel and Sam doing in there!?!" Now she was taking it too far! The door opened and I saw Callum.

Instead of taking me out the cupboard he sat down next to me. I just sat there in silence until he spoke. "So....I thought we could catch up?" he whispered.
"How's it going with Katie" I whispered back trying to make him feel bad.
"...I was never going out with her" he sounded offended
"You kissed her, every time I was watching!" I shouted maybe a bit to loud. "She kissed me! I was walking along casually then she looks up to the music rooms and kisses me.." he explained, It was all making sense now. "She must of looked up and saw me." I replied."You know I never broke up with you...." Callum said.

"I'm kinda going out with Sam..." I apologized. "two timer." he said, but I knew he was joking so I laughed.
"So decided to dye your hair."
"It was Hannah"
"Ahh" he replied as if he knew the story. He stared into my eyes and I stared back into his, but this can't be happening, I had Sam still. I kept reminding myself that, bu Callum had the same eyes as Sam. Callum leaned towards me.

The doors of the cupboard opened and there were two people kissing. They looked towards us and stopped kissing. It was Hannah and Liam, I couldn't believe Liam was still doing this too Vanessa. "O-M-G I'm so gunna tell Sam!" Hannah grinned and ran out the cupboard.

"I'm sorry" Callum walked out the cupboard with me. I watched Hannah walk fast and speak to Sam who was sitting on the sofa watching a movie. She then sat on his knee. He looked very disturbed, but he tried to keep his cool. Dylan walked into the room just in time to see Hannah trying to make Sam kiss her. Then Dylan shouted "Hey, Hannah watch!" then he kissed me gently. Great! I was being used to make people jealous now.

A month later at school everyone had seemed to forget about me and I was single again. There was a rumour going around that Hannah had dumped Dylan. He was looking very upset the whole day and skived a few lessons. Prom was coming up soon and lots of people were getting asked by boys, but I hadn't been asked yet. Sam was going with Hannah, Callum was going with Vanessa and Dylan hadn't asked anyone yet. I was considering asking him, but normally the boy asks the girl

I caught up with Dylan on the way home. "I was wandering if you would go to prom with me, since you don't have anyone else to go with?" I asked, I was suprised how confident I sounded. "Okay," he smiled.A few days later it was prom. He came round to my house to fetch me, "Wow" he looked me up and down, I did try to make an effort for once.
We got to the prom and danced for ages. Then a teacher got on the stage and said "This year the prom king is......Dylan Thomson" everyone clapped who voted for him. "and the prom queen is........... Hannah Maple!"
Everyone claps again, I can't help but feel jealous.
"Now as tradition they should dance." The teacher finished getting off stage. I was still watching them, Hannah had tears of joy and Dylan was smiling at her.
Then I felt a tap on the back, it was Sam. "You wanna dance?" he asked. I was kinda over him now, "No." I sighed still staring at Dylan. "Oh come on, you look ridiculous your dates dancing with someone else!" He replied.
"Fine." I agreed.

I danced with him for what seemed like ages, but I kept a close eye on Sam and Hannah. Prom finished at midnight, Dylan came up to me, "Hannah's still really upset, so...I think I'm gunna take her home," he explained I was shocked
"but I will come get you afterwards!" he continued. "It's fine I will take her home," Sam stepped in.
"No it will only take a few minutes!" Dylan argued."You expect her to wait in the car park by herself?!" Sam replied, he grabbed my hand and took me home.

As much as I loved Dylan I hated him at the same time! He called my mobile about 20 times that evening, I clicked ignore every time. The next day he tried to talk to me at school, but I walked straight past him. Then when I got home from being at Vanessa's house he was sitting in the kitchen with my mum! I gave my mum an evil look to show I wasn't happy with her and she left the room leaving me and Dylan.

"I'm sorry" He apologized.I forced a smile, then the doorbell rang. He watched me open the door to find Sam standing there. It was very strange having both boys there.
"I was gunna ask if you wanna see a movie..." Sam explained.
"I'd love too!" Dylan joked, making Sam annoyed.
We stood in an awkward silence."Well I guess we could all go, the three of us?"

We went in Sam's car to the cinema, he made Dylan sit in the back and me in the front next to him. We watched twilight, breaking dawn. I sat in the middle of the boys, they insisted.
Half way through the film Dylan did that trick were you pretend to yawn and he put his arm around the back of me, which made me jump a bit. Then Sam touched my hand on purpose, but pretended it was an accident. The film finished and we walked through the car park to find the car. The boys were suddenly taking like they were best friends! They were going on about football, xbox, music and other stuff boys talk about! I was getting a bit bored so I just trailed behind as we walked to the car. I kept thinking that they probaly even notice if I wasn't here so I just went in the other direction and ran away.

I walked along the side of the river for hours, until I got to the dock. I saw Sam tying up his boat. He came up to me, close enough for me to smell is cologne. None of us said anything we just stared at each other. He kissed me softly then a little harder, he stopped after a while. "What do you see in Dylan?" He asked.
"I really don't know." I replied unsure of what to say. He kissed me again then stopped, but I didn't want it to stop so I kissed him back, I could feel him smiling and he let out a little moan. I still wasn't sure if I should choose him.

Everyday at school Sam would come and sit next to me on the lunch table. He would leave his usual 'popular boys' table all for me. After a while everyone thought we were an item. He no longer cared who saw us kissing, but when he did kiss me, I would get stares off girls who were jealous. My whole life had changed! But I could always see Dylan staring at me strangely.

I walked into the lunch hall and picked up a plate with food. I walked over to an empty table, sat down and ate. Normally Sam would come a few minutes later with his lunch and make my day with a kiss, so I waited. 10 minutes later he didn't come, but someone else did. It was Dylan. He sat down next to me, were Sam normally sits and started eating casually.

A few minutes later he was still acting casual. "Where's Sam" I asked, confused,He looked at me and said "Dunno." All the 'jock' popular boys were now crowding my table. I was being squashed by all of them and almost getting hit by footballs, I left the hall and tried to find Sam. I walked past the detention room and peered in. He was in there, but so was Callum.

Chapter 5

I peered closer, they were laughing and getting along, which was slightly odd. I listened in to their conversation...

Callum laughed" yep the bet is going well, so far were all at equal terms, but where is dylan? he was meant to meet us,"

Sam smirked and then shrugged" I dunno maybe he has chickened out,"

Callum looked and for one second I thought he saw me, I heard footsteps coming down the hallway so I ducked behind the cleaning trolley. It was dylan walking down, he had his earphones in and his hands in his pockets. He walked in and I went back to listening in, they were having a conversation about a bet and that they were all equal. The longer I listened the less and less I liked the conversation. They were all betting on me and fooling around. A tear ran down my face and I brushed it off but more and more ran down my face. They all saw me crying but carried on laughing, I ran and ran. People gave odd looks and told me to move or said worse if I knocked into them. I pushed the door open and thought where could a girl go with £17.83 pounds and no identity and the clothes on her back? I knew just the place...
