My name is Natalie Wrealy. I go to Lakeview highschool. I'm not the prettiest girl you will meet. But I like my life. I like the way I am. I just wish someone else did too. I walk down the hall to meet my best friend Selina at her locker.

"Nat! Oh my god there's this new guy named Adam in my english class and he's so hot!"

"That's cool"

"Come on Nat! Aren't you just the least bit excited?"

"Not really. I have no chance."

"That's not true! Besides, he might be different! You have to at least give him a shot!"

"I don't know. The last guy who liked me was in grade 6 and it was this guy named- Wait, what is the new guys name?"

"Adam."

"Adam Cleph?"

"Yeah! Do you know him?"

"We liked each other in grade 6 until he moved away. No one has ever liked me since."

"Then it looks like you do have a shot after all! Oh and he's in your math class" She walks away to get to her next class and I walk to math class. I walk through the door and Adam is sitting right next to my desk.

"Class, please welcome our new student, Adam Cleph. He moved here from Toronto. Natalie, I put him next to you. Can you show him around the school?" I know I don't have a choice.

"Sure"

"Great! So who can tell me how to find the square root of 86 times pi cross multiplied by 94?" That is when I zone out. I love math but mrs Collin is not the best math teacher. She doesn't know what she's talking about. I grab my binder and take out paper and a pencil. I start writing down lyrics to a new song. I love music. It calms me down. I know the chances are slim but when I'm older, I hope to become a famous singer like Taylor Swift. I am a good singer and I have a talent at song writing. So I might actually get somwhere. But for the mean time, I'm stuck in class next to a hot guy doing simple algebraic equasions with a terrible math teacher. I hate my life.

BRING!!!

Yes! Finally class is over! I grab my things and rush to the door. A boy walks in front of me and I nearly crash into him!

"You're gonna show me around right?" It's Adam. Ugh I forgot I agreed to doing this!

"Yeah sure, follow me!" I am really not happy right now. "What do you wanna see first?"

"Is there a gym?"

"Which one?"

"There's more than one?"

"Yeah there's two! One for school gym and sports like basketball and the other's for working out with weights."

"Ok, show me the one with the weights." I lead him down three halls until we come to a door marked GYM in really big letters. I turn the handle to open the door and we step inside. He walks past me to one of the benches and grabs 40 pound weights. He starts bench pressing. I just stare at his muscles in aw! He is so hot when he's lifting weights. He finishes and looks up at me. I snap into attention.

"Where to next?" He hesitates. I can see him just barely make out a smile. He saw me staring at him. I start blushing tremendously an insane colour of red. Please just say something and let me leave!

"Um, wher's the library?" I love the library. It's notny favourite place in school but i like it there. I wonder if he likes to read like me. I walk out the door and cautiously glance over my shoulder to see him follow me wilingly. I lead him down a small hall that no one normally uses. This is a good shortcut if you want to get to your destination sooner to avoid awkward situations such as this. We come up to a set of stairs and I walk up them, him still following me. I finally see the two brown doors markes library and I feel relieved. I love the library. But if i had to choose between music or books, music all the way. I push open the doors and instantly feel the cool welcome of the library's aircondisioning. He again walks past me and starts looking at book shelves until he stops at one book shelf with the exact same books I like to read. Adventure, fantasy and action. All fiction. He starts taking books off the shelf, reading the back covers and putting them back on the shelf exactly where they belong. He eventually finds a book he doesn't put back on the shelf. Wings of Fire the first book. And it just happens to be the same book I'm reading! I am curreny reading the sixth boom but it's the same thing. This is getting insanely wierd!

"Wings of fire?" I say to confirm he is actually going to read it.

"Yeah" he sais "my friend said it was really good."

"It is"

"You've read it?"

"Yeah I'm on the 6th book."

"Cool! Well don't spoil it for me."

"I won't." I quickly change my smile to a serious face. I always have this sheepish dorky smile when I'm around guys like Adam. I guess I just get nervous. I'm such a mess.

"Oh I gotta go! See ya around!"

"Uh ok." Now I'm stuttering. What is wrong with me? He walks away down the hall then turns around and walks back.

"I don't entirely know the way out." He says.

"Oh the nearest exit is to the right and three doors down on the left."

"Thanks." This time he walks away but doesn't turn around. He turns right and I assume he walks three doors down on the left. I walk turn and walk in the other direction. The last thing I need is to bump into him and have another awkward situation. I walk to the exit and run home. And of course I find myself running face first into someone. We both fall down. I look up and the person sitting in front of me is Adam Cleph.
