Julia POV
"Class this is Drake Merry and he just moved here from.......?" He trailed off insure. Wait a second. Drake Merry? No, it couldn't be.....looking up from where I was writing the events for the week, my eyes widened and he answered, "California."
No. No no no. It was him. The guy I had a huge crush on in third grade, the guy who I had caught staring at me so many times that year. I can't believe it. He was supposed to come back last year and when he hadn't, I just assumed he never would. But here he was. He had the same soft looking black hair, dark brown eyes, and dressed in black jeans with a green vest. He was taller though and had barely visible stubble on his chin.
My eyes followed him as he was shown to his new seat. That whole day I was unfocused, especially when he showed up in my gym class later.
