I could smell his tempting cologne as he walked closer to me. He placed his hands on the wall, caging me between his strong arms. He leaned forward, his honey-colored eyes boring into mine like he was trying to figure something out. On the other hand, I was melting like ice cream in a cone. "You look familiar," he said, biting his lip, deep in thought. "Have we met before?" he asked. Of course, the most popular lacrosse player at Wilford High School would never know me—a girl who hides from the faces of her classmates. Jack Harrison. The most handsome and popular boy in school, the one every girl wishes to have. We've been in the same class since 9th grade, yet he has hardly noticed me. He's the only one I've ever had a crush on, and even now, in my 12th grade, my final year of high school—I still like him, always wishing he would notice me. Then one day, I found out that a new family was moving next door, and to my utmost surprise, it turns out to be Jack Harrison.

We have practicals today, and you wouldn't want to miss it considering the fact that you have parents who want you to keep up with your grades. Why are you still sleeping? Didn't you get a wink of sleep last night?” she asked.I didn't. I couldn't even close my eyes throughout the night because my thoughts were filled with Jack.Right Jack.In a speed of light, I quickly got up from the bed and rushed to the window. I quickly opened it, and I let out a disappointing sigh when I noticed that the window next to mine was shut.I had seen Jack through that window last night and now that it was closed, it felt like last night was all a dream—Jack didn't talk to me, and he doesn't live next door.“Are you looking for someone Jazz?” Amy asked, wondering why I jumped out of bed just to look outside my window.
JASMINEI blinked my eyes, just to convince myself I was imagining things, but I wasn't. Jack was in my room, his eyes on me.“Nice room you got here, Jellybean” he chuckled, looking around my room.“You shouldn't be here, Jack. Leave” I said in a voice barely above a whisper. I have always tried my best to avoid him in school, but here he was standing right in front of me, staring at me with those honey colored eyes of his.“Jack?” he furrowed his eyebrows, obviously wondering how I had known his name. “I guess my mom and cousin must have told you my name, right Jellybean” he smiled.“My name is Jasmine, not Jellybean” I corrected, but he chuckled, making him more handsome and sexy than ever.“I prefer calling you Jellybean” he muttered and I swallowed hard.This was the boy I have always fictionalized; he'd notice me someday. I felt like fainting because I never for once thought that my silly wishes would come true—Jack finally knowing I exist.“Do we know each other, apart from a
JASMINEI kept screaming even as I rushed inside the house and up to my room.“Honey, what’s wrong?” my mom asked, but I ignored her, screaming all the way upstairs.I slammed the door behind me, my heart thudding wildly. It was beating way more than it should, and it felt like I was about to have a panic attack.Jack is my next-door neighbor.I don't know if I should feel nervous or happy about it. The boy I have had a crush on is now my next door neighbor. My eyes shifted to the dressing mirror in my room. I looked like a homeless girl right now. My hair was a mess from how I had been sleeping earlier, and the clothes I was wearing were something I was too embarrassed to even talk about.Damn! I should have listened to my mom when she said I should wear something nice. But how was I supposed to know that the handsome son of Susan was my very own crush—Jack Harrison.“This is a total disaster” I whimpered, falling on the bed.“Honey” my mom knocked on the door.“Leave me alone mom”
JASMINEThis wouldn't be the first time I had seen Jack kissing a girl, and it definitely wouldn't be the last time either.He was a Casanova, a big time playboy who makes out with any girl that throws themselves at him. The girls in school all knew he was a player. He doesn't date and prefers hooking up with girls, but the girls at Wilford High School didn't mind.As long as they got to make out or have sex with Jack, they were okay with that. I guess I was the one who was selfish to want Jack all for myself.I stood there watching Jack as he devoured Madelyn's lips. Madelyn was kissing him just the same way, her manicured fingers digging into his curly brown hair.I was hurting but still, I stood there watching them kiss, oblivious to anyone around them.“Jazz!” Amy called my name so loudly.Jack broke his kiss with Madelyn, he turned to look at me, but before he could get the chance to see my face, I quickly turned away from him.“Are you okay?” Amy asked, as she approached me.“Wh
JASMINEThe ringing of the school bell cut through my thoughts, and that's when I realized how long I had been buried in one of my story books.I have always been invested in story books because they take me out of the real world into a fantasy world where all my imagination comes true.I've always been the kind of girl who hides her face from her classmates and never participates in any activities that draw students' attention to her. As everyone rushed out of the classroom, my eyes landed on Jack Harrison—the most popular boy at Wilford High School. He was also the face of the school, so he always appeared in the school magazines, which added to his popularity.Every girl in school wanted him, and that made me the least of the girls he would ever notice because I was always too shy to be in crowded places.My eyes were fixed on him, as I watched him sleep. His eyelashes were long, making it seem like he had installed them. He was maddeningly attractive even with his eyes closed.I
