Jessica's POV

I got out my car and locked it before walking into school, I had my hands in my pockets - I saw Annie sat by the lockers, as always, but today she was talking to some guy, im pretty sure it was JC or something like that, I mean he's sort of attractive, hes tall and his curly hair was all messy on the top of his head. when she saw me she waved me over. so I walked closer, as I did I saw JC bite his lip and he had positioned himself so he was leaning against the lockers.

"hey Jess" Annie smiled
"hello" I smiled back, I opened my locker shoving a few things inside
"so urh, you know JC right?"
"yep, we have spoken a few times"
"oh right - yeah through Zach herron right?"
I nodded
"oh by the way Lucas is looking for you" he smiled, I thought for a while who the heck is Lucas? oh wait....
"Lucas James?"
JC nodded
"what does he want?" I asked and looked at Annie in a weird way
he shrugged "I think he said it was important or something"
"oh right - yeah okay, ill go lo-" the warning bell rang "on second thoughts" I laughed and so did they. then they stood up together, I was looking at them and saw that JC kept brushing his hand up against Annie's - and it wasn't an accident. anyway Annie whispered something in his ear making him laugh, he was looking at her in a type of way - like you could tell he was In love with her. anyway we were walking to class but I as walking behind the two of them - I felt like a right third wheel.

"Jess look, its Lucas" Annie said snapping me out of my thoughts, I looked up at her and followed where her hand was pointing - he was there talking to JC. then JC pointed at me, making Lucas send a small wave my way. I turned around and went to the water fountain to get some water and I thought Annie had followed me there

"Ann, what do you have next?" I asked, she didn't answer so I stopped drinking and looked to the side to see Lucas there, and Annie was no where near me. I jumped for some reason and he chuckled a bit. I rolled my eyes and started to head down the hallway to get to my lesson - I was wondering where Annie had gotten to and sighed

"so... Jessy" Lucas said catching up to me
"ugh dont call me that"
"oh, okay sorry - is Jess better?" he asked pulling my arm so i'd stop
"I guess yeah" I cleared my throat "what did you need?"
"oh right - well im having a party Friday night, and you should for sure come" he smiled at me. ive heard that his parties are the best, like amazing, but ive never ever been invited to one - why would he start now?
"why should I?" I asked
he shrugged "im just trynna get to know you"
"ah and you decide to do so by inviting me to a party where there will be - I dont know at least 100 people there... oh not to mention alcohol?" I asked laughing
"im guessing that a no then" he sighed
"well.. only if Annie, Hallie and Lola can come too"
"Sure thing" he smiled "well ill see you Friday night then" he winked, which made me laugh a bit as I watched him walk away. the closer I got to my class I found Annie and JC

"what did he want then?" she asked
"he invited you, Hallie, Lola and me to his party on Friday" I shrugged
"woah - wait really?" she gasped "you said yes right?"
I nodded
"girl... I love you" she hugged me tight making me loose my breath. Anyway we said goodbye to JC and went to the lesson.

After lesson..

I was on my way to lunch, by myself went Zach stepped infront of me, he looked so much better than yesterday

"what do you want?" I rolled my eyes and tried to walk past him
"ey dont be rude" he folded his arms
"Zach you never talk to me in school - well unless you cant find anyone else to talk to" I shrugged as he rolled his eyes
"we need to talk Jessica"
"about what?" I asked, he put his hand behind his neck - he was nervous...?
"you'd do anything for me right?" he asked
"depends what - lets see, selling drugs for you? no or like murdering someone? no - but basically other than that yeah"
he sighed "so - you know how Alexis dumped me infront of everyone yesterday?"
"obviously you were crying to me about it" he immediately put his hand over my mouth
"shhh - people have ears you know" I shut my eyes and bit right in the middle of his hand "ouch! jess!"
"there is literally no one here - chill out" I laughed "anyway im hungry so what did you want me to do?"
"I need you to be my fake girlfriend"
"what....?"
"I want you to be my fake girlfriend" Zach said now looking at me
I burst out into laughter "your kidding right?"
he nodded his head no
"hell no! - no im not getting myself into your boy problems"
"I'll do anything Jessica!"
"why do you even need me to do this?" I asked
"because, it'll make Alexis jealous . and you know it wont effect us because we are best friends, we are like brother and sister - right?" he said
I shrugged - I mean its true
"please, jess"
"fine - fine but only for a week okay?"
"oh my god thanks - thank you!" he hugged me "i'll explain you the rules to you later on" he began to walk away, I grabbed his wrist
"what rules?"i asked
"you'll find out later" he said and then walked to his next lesson...
