SODA'S POV

"Soda?!" someone nearly yelled, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Whatcha thinkin' about, buddy?"

I shrugged it away. "Nothin'."

He gave an annoyed look, like he was expecting something. "You were thinkin' about Sandy again weren't you?"

I sighed and nodded, "Fine. Yeah I was."

"Soda, ya gotta get over her. She cheated on you and her parents sent her to Florida. I know you've tried writing to her in Florida. Just give up. There's nothin' you can do to get her back."

"I know, alright? I know. Stop throwin' it in my face, ok? I can't help it. You just don't understand what it's like to be in my place with that right now. You think I wanna think about her? If I could, I would forget all about her."

"It's been nearly a year. You don't got your eye on any of them other broad's that come in here every day?"

I shook my head. "None of 'em."

"You're sayin' none of them interest you?"

I thought for a second then shook the thought out of my head. "Nah, I don't have a chance with her."

Steve smirked at me. "So you do have your eye on someone… and what do you mean you don't got a chance with her? Do you know how many girls do stuff to their cars just so they can come here and see you? Seems every girl in Tulsa would go out with you if they had the chance."

"Look, I just can't be with her, alright? It's just too hard. Now drop it."

CHERRY'S POV

"Ok, what's been going on with you lately?" Marcia asked me as we left the school.

I gave a confused look, "What're you talking about?"

"You've been acting different lately. So, what's going on?"

I shook my head. "It's nothing."

"I'm gonna bother you about it until you tell me what it is."

I gave an annoyed sigh, "Why can't you just leave it alone?"

"Cause I'm your best friend, it's my job to annoy you until you tell me what I want to know about something," she laughed.

She was able to get a chuckle out of me from that. "Fine… I like someone, happy now?"

She smiled wide, "Who is he?"

"That's the hard part." I frowned and looked down at the ground.

She gave a confused look. "What do you mean?"

"Let's just say, it's almost impossible to get to him. And even if I did, we couldn't be together."

Introduction chapter to my new fan fiction called "Cherry Flavored Soda"! this story is technically brought to you by BrokenAskeus, since they messaged me and asked if I could do this story so it was their idea! Say thank you to BrokenAskeus if you like this story as it progresses! There's gonna be 60 chapters for this, maybe a little, maybe a little more- but around the sixty chapter range so… this may take a while! :)
