"TEEN ROMANCE" ~ Malachi Barton

Chapter - 1

A/N: hi guys!! If you do end up reading this I do hope you enjoy and that I do not mean to romanticize any serious topics that may appear in this story. If you have any suggestions feel free to lmk and also ignore spelling and grammar mistakes! Thank you! Also, when the text is in italics it's the characters thoughts.

Giovanna is a good kid, a bit shy at first. But man, once you got to know her, how could you not like her? Not only that, but she is gorgeous, beautiful hair, and eyes you could stare into for hours. At least, that's what most people tell her.

As the school bell rang I said goodbye to my friends before heading to home room. It was the week before thanksgiving break, and we had just started second trimester classes. I walk into home room, greeted by a warm welcome from my teacher.

"Good morning, Gigi!" Ms.Erickson smiled warmly at me.
"Morning" I replied before taking my assigned seat in the back. 

I unpacked a few folders and binders, setting them down on my desk before taking out my schedule, to examine where my classes would be.
My schedule was, Reading, Art, Math, History, lunch, science, music, cooking , gym.
"Solid."
whilst doing so I heard a very, familiar voice. A rose tint was painted onto my cheeks, and I steered my gaze to the front of the classroom. There he was, Malachi.

"He's so handsome and perfect it's unreal."
He walked back towards me.
"I'm so happy we have seats next to each-other. "
He sat down next to me and began to unpack his stuff. 
"Hi Gi." He glanced sideways, flashing a smile.
I thought I might melt.
"Hi Mal."
"HE SAID HI FIRST!!!"
I continued examining my schedule until I felt a kick in my left leg. I looked up, and Malachi was leaning over, reading my schedule.

"No way! We have Gym, history, science, reading, math, music, and art together"
"Let's GOOOOO"
"So basically like, our whole schedule?" I ask, suppressing my excitement.
"Well, yeah. Everything except, I have technology and you have cooking." He smiled.

I couldn't help but examine his features. His blonde hair, tan skin, and brown eyes. I swear he is the most perfect human bien in existence.

"So...wanna walk to Reading together?" He questioned
"Yeah, sure." I was internally screaming, and was definitely blushing a shit ton.

All though, Malachi is a nice person. I am very surprised how close we have become throughout the school year so far. We call a lot and walk to classes together. A few people have even wondered if we were dating.
"I wish."
The bell rang, dismissing us from homeroom. I was eager to walk with Malachi. All though it was a routine, it made my day better. We walked through the halls and noticed a few girls pointing and laughing at me.

"Autumn, ugh she's such a bitch"

My posture shifted, I lowered my head a little bit. I tried to ignore the girls, but I couldn't help but wonder what they were laughing about.

"Does my hair look greasy?  Maybe i spilled something on my shirt? Did my mascara smudge?"

I was zoned out thinking about reasons that she would be laughing. A tap on the shoulder pulled me out.

"You alright?" Malachi left his hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah! Im good." I smiled, forgetting about what Autumn could've been laughing at.
"Giovanna?" He said turning his face into one of sympathy. I looked up at him.
"Hm?"
"Ignore them. Your better than them. Please, don't let them get to you." 

"NO ACTUALLY WAY. NO WAY, NO WAY, HE ACTUALLY CARES!"

I smiled, looking into his chocolate brown eyes. and nodding. We turned a corner and he holds the door for me, waking into reading.

A/N:  AHHHHH. First chapter done!!! I'm so excited to write this story and I really hope you like it! Also I decided to Malachi while he had bleached blonde hair because I felt that was easier to imagine (in my opinion) also I didn't really add descriptions for Giovanna because I hope you imagine her how you like her to.  I will also switch perspectives sometimes. I will try to finish the next chapter soon. Lots of love!
