Oceane Avery Emerson has no recollection of her past. Who she was friends with, what she did, nothing. She had one goal, which was to remember her past.That was until a boy with grey eyes tampered her only motive. He threw her world upside down and...

Something's very loud. Ugh.
I wake up irritated, only to realize that it was my pitiful alarm trying to wake me up. I am a heavy sleeper which results in me not hearing the alarm go off when I'm deep asleep.
I turn it off quickly and fall back onto the bed. A moment later, I hear my dad shouting my name from the kitchen. I sit up, surprised at the fact that my dad wasn't at work. I hurriedly bathe and change into my go-to outfit, jeans, and an oversized T-shirt.
I skip down the stairs to go to the kitchen and see my father making breakfast.
"What's the occasion?" I laugh.
"It is my day off, yay!" he smiles and hands me a glass of water "so do you wanna hang out?"
"I have school, dad... But I will be free after four, is that okay?" I ask.
He nods and hands me a plate of burnt pancakes. I look at him questioningly.
"What? I tried my best" he shrugs and grabs the bottle of syrup "syrup?".
I laugh and shake my head. After all, it is the effort that counts.
I finish most of the pancakes because it wasn't that bad and hand the plate to my dad. He walks to the sink to put it down but then suddenly screams.
"It's a cockroach!!!!!!" he yells, "Where is your mom when I need her the most?!"
He scrambles behind me and exclaims, "that thing is scarier than your mom, to be honest."
"Oh my god, your such a drama queen," I say and search for the cockroach.
"Correction, king."
I stare at him skeptically. "What?" he looks at me wide-eyed.
I shake my head and laugh, "So, I never knew you were scared of cockroaches."
"Oh, you have no idea," He sighs and continues, " Your mum pranked me by putting that disgusting shit on my forehead, a dead and oily one that too!"
"Dad, shouldn't you be the one telling me to watch my language?" I chuckle, catch the cockroach and bring it up near him.
"Jesus Christ, woman, keep the cockroach away! IT'S FUCKING DISGUSTING!" he yells. I giggle and pretend to throw the cockroach on him. He runs away, screaming, and locks himself in his room. I kill the cockroach quickly when I realize I was late for school and grab my bag.
"Dad, the cockroach is still in the kitchen! Love you, Bye!" I shout and laugh. Let's say he won't be coming out of that room any time soon.

We have English for the first period. I quickly settle down and open my books. The teacher begins the class but is interrupted by a guy standing at the door, panting. Dark brown hair and beautiful grey eyes, he's very intriguing. But very attractive. Totally my type.
You have finally gone crazy, haven't you? my inner voice says. I break out of my trance, flustered at me thinking things like that.
"Is this the English class?" the boy asks, "I am new here, so I lost myself in the hallways."The teacher, Miss Park, motioned him to come inside and asked him to introduce himself.
"Hello everyone, I am Austin. I moved here from wellspring town. Nice to meet you all," he exhales. Our eyes meet for a brief moment. My breath hitches and my heart starts to race. I realize I have been staring at him for too long, so I look away. He starts walking in my direction, and I freak out.
Oh my god, oh my god, is this gonna be like those cliche scenes? There is an empty seat beside me. Is he going to sit here? Why would he do that, though? But it would be nice, wouldn't it? Stop it, Oceane.
But as always, the reality is quite disappointing. I turn behind to realize he already passed my desk and sat with his friend. I blink twice and quickly turn to the front, my face flaming.
Goodness Oceane now you've done it. You have finally gone mad enough to think something so absurd. All that's left is to make it official that you are a crazy biatch. So he wasn't looking at you but at his friend that time? Haha, your imagination is beyond repair, homie. Umm, aren't you talking about yourself too then?

It's lunchtime! I happily hop over to the cafeteria only to see another boy at our table, chatting with Isaac and Shea.
"Uh, what is going on?" I ask. Isaac brightens up at my sight and says, "Hey! You are finally here! He is Nicholas, we met at a party, and he's cool. Like rea-ally cool."
He was the one who was sitting beside that new guy. Stop.
"Hi! I am Oceane, nice to meet you-" "wait, what? There was a party? When? Where? Why didn't I know of this?" Shea interrupts me mid-sentence.
"You and Oceane decided to stay home, remember? Something about therapy with Netflix? Anyways it was about a week ago" Isaac shrugs.
"Really? Okay..." she drags. Shea diverts her focus on Nicholas and asks, "Can I call you Nick?"
"Sure!" he smiles, "By the way, I came over here to ask this, are you guys free this Saturday? A friend of mine is throwing a party, and I think it will be a great opportunity for us to get to know each other."
"We'll be there!" Shea exclaims excitedly. Isaac and I both turn to stare at her. She didn't even bother asking us, and I can't expect anything less from her. It's only Wednesday.
"What? I know you guys aren't busy on the weekend, so you guys are coming with me. It's mandatory," she raises her eyebrows.
"Okay, so it is decided then! See you at the party!" Nick says this and jogs off to another table. To invite other people, I think.
I exhale, "What just happened? Oh god, that was exhausting."

Dad. I completely forgot about our plans. We need to inform the cafe earlier if we want a leave, so I can't bail out on it last minute. I text him that I cannot hang out today as I have to work at the cafe. I was looking forward to hanging out with him, but my forgetful ass couldn't remember. I sigh and start heading towards the parking lot.
My heart starts racing due to a very familiar presence. It's him. The grey-eyed boy.
