He's the Only One

"Gabby!! Wait up!! I don't run track like you!!" I yell as I try to catch up with Gabrielle Sapphire, my best friend.

"Come on!!! I know you're faster than that, Miss Volleyball Star!!" she yelled back and smiled.

'It's the beginning of second semester, and I can't be late!!!' I thought as I sped up to maintain my perfect attendance.

I zoomed past Gabrielle and said, "I'll see you second period!!" and ran as fast as I could.

"Hey!!! Wait!!!" she yelled to me.

Not really hearing her, I checked my watch. 'Crap!! 7:56!!!! Class starts at 8!!!' I thought in desperation.

I went to my HR, grabbed my books, and ran for my first class.

I made it in my seat as soon as the bell rang.

Mrs. Thatcher called Gabby's name and she said, "Here!" as her foot staggered through the door just in time.

Gabby is my next door neighbor and bff since forever ago. My other best friend is Louis Bradley, who's been my bestie since we met in 2nd grade.

They always have my back.

Gabby runs track, Louis plays baseball, and I play volleyball. We are 3 out of the most athletic teens at school (according to what I've heard). My dream is to become a star volleyball player all throughout this year's sophomore year, and the rest of of my life!!! and when I'm too old I'll coach the best team in the wo-

"Rosie Posie?"

"Here!"

Yes, I know my name is cliche, but I like it.

Everyone usually snickers at my name, but today no one did. The guys just sat there covering their cheeks and the girls whispered to each other while looking at me.

I felt this prickly feeling on the back of my neck, as if someone were staring at me.

I looked around the room, and my eyes locked (with the one soul person I CANNOT look in the eyes) with Liam Fox, my school's hottest boy.

I, personally, am scared of him because he bullies me about my name, but all the other girls LOVE him to death.

For the first time, I stared him right in the eyes, and he actually looked away!!! 😆😆😆

'I DEFEATED MY BULLIE!!! YAYYYY!!!' I thought in victory.

As I inwardly victory danced, I felt a tap on my shoulder.

A girl with glasses sitting behind me handed me a note and mouthed, "From Liam. "

Now I was scared.

'Is he gonna bullie me worse than ever before?! Is he gonna somehow make me not be able to continue my dream as a star volleyball player??!!! Wait!! What about my grades?! He might somehow make them go down to F's or something!! But why would he do that?! Why does he not like my name?? 😖😵' I thought frantically in defeat.

I opened the note, it read:

"Meet me in the courtyard at lunch.

-Liam"

At this point I was really scared of what was going to happen.

The bell rang, and it was time for the next class.
