MACY'S POV.

"So... you two are a thing now?" Molly asked me in 6th period.

Since I was graduating early, I had senior classes. One of them was with Molly. It was AP Bio.

The classroom was all talking, we were given a worksheet to work on. The teacher was out of the room, so we all started chatting. Otherwise, we would be dead silent. Dallas was in the class too, only on the other side of the class.

She was smacking her bubblegum, turned around in the chair.

I scribbled a quick answer to a question on a worksheet. "If you want to say that. I think I should keep it on a down low for a while, until I'm out of high school,"

"It'll still be illegal, Mace." She said. "It's okay, I won't say anything."

Although she said she wouldn't, I wasn't too sure. Molly was my sister, I loved her. But when it came to keeping stuff in, she had a tendency of letting it out. Meaning, she had a big mouth.

I looked at her and slithered down in my chair.

Molly looked at me with worried eyes. She put a hand on mine. "What? You seem upset,"

I shrugged a shoulder. I swallowed a lump in my throat, and let out a deep breath.

"Stop acting so sad. You're dating a rockstar!"

"You know, how when was I with Taylor, I would hold his hand in public, kiss him, et cetera?" I asked her, rising up.

"Yeah."

I sighed again, and looked up. "I just want that with Jack, and I know that I can't until I tell mom and dad, and I don't know how they'll react." My phone buzzed. I took it out. It was from Jack.

"They already know you're friends with him, what'd be so bad about dating him? Plus, they know you're a prude, not like you'd fuck him anyways." I ignored her and looked at the text.

'Can I come see you tonight?'

I replied. 'Of course. Come over around 9. I have to study for a while.'

I stuffed my phone in between my thighs, hopeful for a reply.

She shook my hand, grinning big. "Molly. You are dating Jack Barakat."

A fan of his must've overheard us. A girl named Kelsie popped her head up and laughed. "Don't we all wish?!"

I laughed nervously and nodded. "Totally hottie, huh?!" I didn't know how to talk about celebrities, or rock stars, or whatever. I did have a few celebrity crushes, sure. But when I was 5. So talking about celebrities, wasn't exactly normal to me.

Kelsie walked over to me, nodding. "For sure. But I'm in love with Alex. He makes my world," she gushed, blushing. I could hear the '<3' in her voice.

I let out a burst of laughter. "Oh man, Jack's the way to go. He's so lovely,"

Molly looked at me, smirking.

My phone buzzed.

"Is it Jack?" She asked.

Kelsie's eye twitched. She tilted her head to the side, like a puppy does.

I slipped my phone out. "Yeah. He's coming over tonight."

"Jack?" Kelsie asked. "Were you serio-"

Molly shot up from her desk, "Listen. You can't go around blabbing about this, and you can't fangirl, asking for an autograph, and asking for her to tell Alex to sweep you off your feet and marry you."

I widened my eyes. "Molly!" I hissed.

Kelsie was white as a ghost. "You're dating Jack Barakat? Like, you've kissed him? But you're seventeen! He's 21! You're in high school! This is ILLEGAL!"

I held a palm up. "I'm aware of this. Shut up, Kelsie. And, I'm assuming you care about Jack, hm?"

She snapped her mouth shut. Her side pony tail bobbed as she nodded.

"Then don't. Say. A. Word. To. Any. One."

Kelsie looked at me, and smiled. "So how'd you guys meet? You two are soo-oo cute together, now I think of it. OMG, have you guys kissed?!"

I ignored her, going back to my work. I felt rude, but she was bothering me, and it was annoying.

Kelsie scoffed, and went back to her seat. "Whatever. You're probably lying anyways."

I snapped my head up. I wanted to bitch her out, but I refrained. Jack wouldn't want me bitching out a fan. That's all she was anyways- a jealous fan.

I looked at my phone.
'You know how in Feris Bueller's day off, Feris goes and gets his girlfriend and best friend and they have an awesome day off? I wish the school systems were still that stupid, letting someone basically call and impersonate a father and then let the student leave. We'd have the best day evaaaa. Anyways, best day ever has to wait. I'm picking you up from school.'

I replied, 'You're such a bad influence. Oh well- studying can wait.'

He replied within seconds, 'I know something else you can study ;)))).'
Another text, 'That was Alex...'

I smiled, tucking the phone away.

"Oooh, what'd he saaay?" Molly sing-songed.

I shrugged. "Well, I don't need a ride from school."

"If you get it on in the front seat, you'd give me all the deets, right?" Dallas called from the other side of the room.

"How'd you hear that?!" I cried out, blushing.

He tapped his ears. "Ears of bats, ladies, ears of bats."

I rolled my eyes. My stomach got butterflies. I couldn't wait to get out of school.
