Tyler's POV
"Oh shit sorry" I said as I bumped into someone. "It's fine" she said shakily. I looked up and saw she was crying.
"Hey, what wrong?" I asked helping her up. She just shook her head so I led her to the locker rooms. The boys one specifically but who cares. I sat her on the bench.
"I'm Tyler... uh Gabriel" I said nervous.
"I'm H-Hailey J-Jacobs" she said sniffling and out of breath. "What happened?" I asked. She kept sniffing and crying.
"You can trust me" I said lifting her chin up to look at me. "I promise" I smiled sadly. I've never been in this kind of situation before so I was a little nervous. "M-My boyfriend j-just c-c-cheated on me" she cried. I pulled her into a hug, "what a dick" I said. She laughed and wiped her eyes letting go of me.
"There's better people out there I promise, just because one guy fucked you over doesn't mean that there's not some sweet guy around the corner" I smiled.
"Thanks Tyler... that means a lot" she said wiping her eyes. She had long brown hair, pale skin, brown eyes, she was about up to my nose in height. We both stood up, "uh-here's my number. You seem pretty cool and helped me a lot" she said handing me a piece of paper.
"Any time" I smiled walking her out. We walked into the hallway.
"So where in the neighborhood are you?" She asked. "Oh I'm two blocks down from here" I smiled.
"No way, I'm a block behind you" she laughed.
"Really?"
"Yeah, Richardson" she laughed. All of the sudden Craig ran down the hall with a 2 cartons of cigarettes and a skateboard.
"Tyler! Help me!" He yelled running towards us. "Craig what the fuck is this!" I yelled at him.
"They're coming, come on!" He yelled grabbing my hand and running with me.
"Oh shit! I'll text you" I yelled to Hailey. She laughed and nodded waving at me. I smiled and I plopped behind a garbage bin behind the school with Craig. "What the fuck is wrong with you!" I yelled standing up.
"What?" He asked lighting the cigarette.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Well I was in gym and these boys were idiots and forgot their locks on the locker so I stole cigarettes and a skateboard duh" he said.
"You're so fucking stupid" I rolled my eyes.
"Hey, poor instincts" he laughed. I put Hailey's number in my phone and texted her, "hey it's Tyler". "Who was the girl you were with?"
"Oh I met her today, her names Hailey"
"She's hot" he said blowing smoke out.
"Fuck off" I laughed.
Bryce's POV
I sat at the kitchen table reading a book when a ruckus filled my house. I looked over my shoulder to see my twin brother and a few of his friends. "Hey Bryce!" Marcel laughed.
"Hey" I said back. I looked at them and my eyes were wide. I had a crush on Marcel, no lie, but I saw someone next to him that was probably the prettiest boy I've ever seen. He had brown hair styled in a quiff, green eyes, and beautiful features.
"Oh Bryce, this is Luke from hockey" Tyler said. "Oh-uh, h-hey" I smiled shyly. Marcel quirked an eyebrow at me and smiled. I rolled my eyes playfully and went back to reading as they all rushed upstairs. I smirked as blush tinted my cheeks. When I finished what I wanted to do I went upstairs to my room. As I was walking to my room a bashed into Luke and stumbled to the ground.
"Holy shit, are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, sorry"
"No, I'm sorry I wasn't focused on where I was going" he laughed.
"I'm Luke"
"Yeah, I know, I'm Bryce" I laughed shaking his hand. He eyed me up and down, he didn't say anything, I knew exactly what he was thinking though. Why is he so skinny? "Uh, nice meeting you" I laughed walking past him to my room. "Uh-y-yeah you too" he smiled. I laughed and blushed and plopped down on my bed.
Marcel's POV
"Why?!" I yelled.
"Because the two years are up Marcel" she yelled. "They can't just make me leave"
"That's how it works" Mr. Paul said.
"Two years? Two years and you're going to throw me out to some other family? You're not even gonna adopt me or fight for me?" I said tears in my eyes. They didn't say anything.
"I've made so many friendships here and I've learned so much from you both and now you're going to let that go to waist? Why?". They didn't say anything so I stormed upstairs and started packing my trash bag with clothes. There was a knock at the door, but I ignored it.
"Marcel?" A voice said. I turned and saw Grace in tears. A tear streamed down my cheek as we stared at each other. She finally ran to me and wrapped her arms around me. I stood up, still holding her, and wrapped my arms around her waist. "I don't want you to go, you can't go" she said wiping her eyes. Her eyes stared into mine and for a second they glimmered. She then connected our lips and we shared a passionate kiss. It was like heaven on my lips. We separated and she pushed herself away from me. "I'm sorry-"
"I-Its fine"
"I like you a lot" she said. I was shocked.
"I've liked you ever since I moved here".
She went to kiss me again, but I stopped her. If your parents adopt me, this has to stop.
"Why?"
"Cause we'll technically be brother and sister and that's disgusting" I laughed.
"So you either leave and we never talk again or you stay but I can't be in a relationship with you?" She cried.
"Yeah" I said raspy.
"I have an idea", I whipped out my phone and texted someone.
Marcel- Hey dude, can we talk?
Evan- Yeah, come over
