• Highschool was also the year I met Olivia. If you don't know Olivia then.. It'll all make sense in the future.

• It had been a few weeks since the situation between me and William. We never did anything like that again but we did have.. our moments..

• Mostly just normal teenagers messing around. He still refused to admit he liked guys.

•— Flashback —•

• I'm sitting in science class bored out of my mind. The teacher is going on about a project that we'll need to work on with our desk partner.

• I don't have one so I'll probably end up working on my own.

• Suddenly the door opens and administrators step in. Behind them steps in this beautiful brunette girl with a white dress and a white bow in her hair. She has big brown eyes and I can't help but stare.

• "Alright class." The teacher starts. "this is our new student, Olivia. Olivia you'll be seated with Adam. Adam raise your hand."

• I do as told and Olivia makes her way to my desk. I watch as she sits down and I smile. "Hey" I say. "Hi" she says with a soft smile.

• "You know, since you're my desk partner now we have to do a project together. You fine with that?" She nods. I smile and look towards the front of the class.

• "I'm glad, I bet you're as smart as you are pretty" I look back over at her and she's smiling, her face a light shade of red.

• "You already know this, but let me introduce myself. I'm Adam."
" I'm Olivia."

• "So Olivia, what are you doing after school?"
She thinks before answering. "Nothing really, why?" "Wanna work on the project after school?" I ask.

• She smiles once again. "Sure! At your place or mine?" I can only think about the way my mother would react. "I think yours would be best"

• "Okay that's fine! Are we walking to my place together?" I smile also. "Sure why not"

• — Time skip — •

• The bell rings and Olivia and I walk out of the classroom still chatting. We get a bit down the hall when I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn to see William. I stop walking and Olivia does too, now looking at both of us. "Oh hey Will." I say first.

• "Hey Adam, I-" he stops as he notices Olivia. "Who's this?" He asks. "Oh this is Olivia. She's new. Olivia this is William." William nods and so does Olivia. "Anyways Adam, I was wondering if you'd want to come
over later?.."

• "Sorry I can't, I'm going over to Olivia's to work on a project." He looks at me puzzled. "Your mom's okay with that?.." I shrug my shoulders. "What she doesn't know won't hurt her."

• William looks over at Olivia then looks me up and down. "Uh huh right.. whatever I'll see you at lunch then." He says before walking away. I turn back to Olivia. "Where's your next class? I'll help you find it."

• — Time skip — •
• I sit in class tapping my pencil waiting for the bell to ring for lunch. After what seems like an eternity it finally does and I rush out.

• I grab lunch and sit down at the table across from William where we usually sit, just the two of us. "So Adam.." he starts but I'm not really paying attention.

• I'm looking around the cafeteria and I guess he notices. "What are you looking f-" "There!" I cut him off. "Olivia!" I yell, waving to get her attention.

• As she sees me she smiles and walks over. She sits at the chair beside me and I smile at her. I turn back to William. "Oh you were speaking right? What is it?"

• He pauses before his response. "Yeah.. I was just going to ask-" I notice Olivia's nails and grab her hand. "Hold on" I say to William. I look at Olivia's nails which are a baby pink.

• "This is a good color on you, you should wear it more often." I say setting her hand back down. She smiles. "Thank you! But I don't exactly own any baby pink clothes."

• "That's okay, we can go to the mall. Tomorrow yeah? We'll get you some." I say without a second thought. "Thanks but.. I don't exactly have money to spend on-"

• "I'll buy them. Don't worry it's my treat." She hesitates. "Adam.. I can't let you-" I stop her. "It's fine! I've got something called "daddy's money.""

• She giggles then nods. "Fine.. but don't buy too much!" "I won't I won't!" I say while smiling. I then turn back to William. "Oh, you were saying."

• "...it's whatever. Never mind." He says getting up to throw away his tray and then leaving. He didn't even touch his food?
