As Jason and I near the school, I notice some stares. Actually, quite a few.
"Uhh Jacey?" I whisper, or at least try to whisper since we both have helmets on.
"Yeah?"
"Why are people staring?"
"Ignore them."
"Uhh it's kind of difficult when everyone in the parking lot is staring at us." I can feel eyes burning through my back. Did I leave the house with the wrong outfit? Do I look weird? I thought I matched my outfit very cutely.
"I bet they are all staring at my bike." He offers as an explanation.
"Sure..." I doubt it as he's always came to school on a bike.
As soon as Jason and I get off the bike, a group of students swarms us.
"Hey man!"
"How was your summer?"
"Who's that chick?"
"Jason!"
Jason takes off his helmet. Then, he takes mine off for me. When he does that, I hear some faint whispers and gasps.
Shoot. Do I have helmet hair? Aw damn. That's embarrassing.
"Do I have helmet hair?" I low-key whisper to Jason. It's kind of difficult when he's a foot taller.
"Nope," he glances at me.
"Then, why did they gasp?"
"I am not-"
"Jace!" A guy comes through the crowd and does the "bro handshake" that guys do. From the side, he looks vaguely familiar. He turns towards me.
"Em!" He picks me up and crushes me into a big bear hug.
Oh wait, now I remember him. How can i forget these bone-crushing hugs of his? He's Drake Jordan, my brother's scary-looking but actually sweet best friend. He isn't that scary-looking. He is actually quite handsome; but his towering 6'4" stature and muscular frame gives off an intimidating aura. Heck, he looks like a badass Abercrombie model. Knowing him for years as my brother's best friend, I think Drake is a big, adorable teddy bear. He's like a second brother to me. Sometimes I want to say I like him better than Jason.
"Drake!" I yell once he puts me down. "I haven't seen you all summer!"
