Chapter One

I continuously look at the clock as my knee shook. In two more minutes, we would be free from school for the summer. I was excited. It was time for warm weather, county fairs, tanning, short shorts, and most importantly hanging with Craig.


The bell rang, and I wasted no time getting out of the school. I made my way outside to see Craig leaning on the hood of his car, waiting for me. It was just like a scene from a movie, perfect.


"Ready?" he asked.


"I'm more than ready," I replied.


He drove to my place.


"Are you going to Token's bonfire tonight?" he asked.


"Yeah, I was hoping you'd give me a ride, you know car pool," I smiled.


"I swear sometimes you only date me for a ride," he sighed.


"No, I date you for your bubbly personality," I replied.


He gave me a glare, "You're funny."


"You think so?" I responded.


"Anyways, I told Token I'd be there early to help him get the fire started," Craig said.


"Your version of helping is sitting there, criticizing everyone else while you eat potato chips," I pointed out.


"Yup, now let me help you get ready, your mom just went grocery shopping right?" he asked.


I rolled my eyes, "You are unbelievable."


I got out of the car, and Craig followed. We went straight to my room.


"What do you need here?" he asked.


"Well, I wanted to change-"

"What's wrong with what your wearing?" he interrupted.


"I wore them to school," I answered.


"So?" he questioned.


"So, these are school clothes, I need summer clothes," I replied.


"What's the difference?" he asked.


I looked down at what I was wearing, jeans and a t-shirt, "You'll see."


I grabbed some clothes out of my closet and walked to the bathroom across the hall to change. I came out with jean short shorts and a flowy white tank top that faded into blue at the bottom. I quickly threw my hair into a bun and went to show Craig.


Craig looked up from his phone, and his eyes went wide when he saw me entire the room.


"Yup, there is a huge difference," he smirked, eyeing me up and down.


"In your dreams, Tucker," I sighed.


"You're not wrong, I do dream that all the time," he admitted.


I felt my face heat up, "You are disgusting."


He let out a chuckle, but it stopped shortly, as he sat there deep in thought.


"What is it?" I asked.


"I just realized that we are seniors," he said. "One more year left in this shitty mountain town."


"This place isn't that bad," I smiled to myself.


"This place is worse than bad," he added.


"Oh please, without this place, you wouldn't have met me," I pointed out and gave him a kiss.


We were soon in a heated make-out session when Craig's phone went off.


"Shit, that's Token, we got to go babe," Craig said as he pushed me off him.


"I see were your priorities are," I mumbled on the ground.


"Are you coming?" he called from the hall way.


I let out a groan and went after hi.
