Desiree had a morning routine and she was for following routines in fact she couldn't live without a timetable. Every schoolday, she got up and said her prayer, took a shower and brushed her teeth, dressed and went down for the family breakfast.

That was exactly what Desiree did that morning. She went down for breakfast which was simply a bowl of cereals. When she went down, James, her two year old brother jumped on her "Re, Re, up up", he shouted loudly. She cringed at his tone but smiled at him and picked him up. She started tickling his feet and he was screaming with laughter. When she stopped, he told her to continue until her mom told her to cut it out."Mom", she called out, I'm off". "Did you eat your breakfast?" Desiree groaned inwardly and said "No, Maman" "Then what are you waiting for eat up if not you are going to be late." "Yes, Maman", she answered dutifully.

After eating, she went and entered Marco, her best friend's car. "Hey, Marco", she said unaware of the way her friend's eyes looked longingly at her body. "You look good today, Dee"

Desiree blushed and mumbled a quick thanks. Marco was senior as she was. They knew each other since kindergarten and were friends ever since. Marco was also the captain of the high school football team and he was very good though he didn't want to play professionally.
When they reached school, the head cheerleader, Zena, came towards them. She was also very popular and was Marco's girlfriend since they were juniors.

Desiree went to her locker first and took out her English notebook. She turned to go to class and bumped into someone (a bit cliche, I know). "I'm so so sorry, I-", she stopped suddenly and swallowed when she saw who it was.

Quinn Percy. The richest and the most cruel boy in school. He broke the rules without any qualms and he was your typical dark haired dark eyed boy.

"Get out of my way, nerd", he said in his deep voice

Desiree widened her eyes when she realized she had been staring at him. She quickly shifted and scurried off to class.

During English, she sat daydreaming about his deep soulful eyes. Desiree was by all means a practical person, but she had a secret nobody knew, not even Marco and she told him everything. The next period was a free one so she went to the library.

Desiree was a great fan of Classics and she was currently reading Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing". The story was very interesting and engaging but she couldn't concentrate. She did not know why.

A voice in her head said, don't play stupid, you know exactly why you can't concentrate.
Shut up, she replied, I'm thinking about him.
Oh you are, you know you are.

"Shut up", she said out loud and slapped over her mouth when she realized she had said it out loud. "Sorry", she said to Romeo who was in her Art class who was by the way looking at her strangely

Great, now I'm going to be known as the 'crazy nerd', she thought wearily.
That's because you're crazy. Very crazy. Having a crush on a guy who will never pay attention to you let alone ask you out, the voice retorted haughtily.

Desiree went back to her reading and ignored the strange voice.

When Desiree arrived home she shouted, "Maman, I'm home". Her mother came from the kitchen and embraced her. "Hi, cherie, just go change and come and help me here"
"OK, Maman".
"Oh honey, the new neighbours are coming over for dinner"

A while later, dressed in shorts, a simple tee and her Vans she came down. Only to stop at the entrance of the dining room. There sat someone she had never dreamed to see outside of school, Quinn Percy...
