Guys Should Come With a Warning Label

Hi my names Brooke McLean. I'm 13 and, I live with my dad in Miami, Florida. My mom died in fire when I was 10. The damage was so bad they had to nail her coffin shut at the funeral. Anyway I have a little brother. He's 11, his names Eric. Everybody thinks Eric is so perfect. Nobody ever pays attention to ordinary "Brooke McLean". Except Jake. We've been friends since we were kids. But now that we're in 7th grade, i'm not sure if we're just friends or if we are more than that. I'll tell you about me and Jake. Jake has blonde cropped hair, green eyes, hes built like hes meant to play football, hes about 5'11. Me? Well ive got brown hair that goes a little past my shoulders, i'm like 5"7 and I've got brown eyes. Ordinary. I wonder what Jake and my future have to hold. Will we stay friends or what?
