PROLOGUE

Jennifer’s POV

“I just wanted to ask, Jen…” I averted my eyes to him. I looked at Angelo Carson for the first time this afternoon and I saw raw emotion in his eyes.

“…Is there a chance for… for us? Because, I really want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

I didn’t reply. He was looking at me oddly. I’m just fourteen, for Christ’s sake! And it’s almost like he’s asking me to marry him! Well, not exactly, but you know what I mean.

It was probably like, ten minutes before I could say anything. I was just too stunned to hear him say those words. I mean, he’s been dropping hints that he liked me, like saying he thinks I’m cute and that I should be his escort during his basketball games, but never to the extent of him expecting THAT much of me… I mean, come on! He wants to spend the rest of his life with me? How unbelievable can that be—coming from a fourteen-year-old to a twelve year old? I’m not that naïve, you know.

“I think it’s a little too early for you to ask me that.” I said. I’m the type of girl who speaks her mind. And this is just too weird for me!

“Are you mad?” He bit his lip and glanced at me.

“No, it’s just that, I don’t know.” It was my turn to bite my lip and I looked away from him.

There was a long pause between us and all I could do was sigh. Awkward, much?

“I love you.”

Wait, what did he say? I love you? Yeah, right.

He claims to have fallen for me for a long time now, but recently, he’s been linked to a friend of mine. How could I believe him?

“Aren’t you leaving for Florida in a month?” I asked hesitantly. I didn’t want to hurt him, but I don’t think any of this means anything to him, either. He could just be another player, like all the other jocks.

“Yeah.” He said. “I’ll be back in 5 years, though.”

“5 years can change people a lot, Angelo.”

There was only silence. And that’s when he stood up from the bench we were sitting on and walked away.
