Chapter 1

'One step closer, I have died everyday waiting for you, darling don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years, I'll love you for a thousand more.'

As the song came to and end so did our dance in the moonlight.

"This was most definantly a night to remember, I love you Ari." "I love you too Chris."

...One Year Ago...

'Welcome to MHS'... The same stupid sign that I pass to get to school. Other than that it's finally senior year for me. Im determined to get goods grades so I can gradauate and finally do what I've always wanted to do. Become a journalist.

"Ari! Hey girl!" "Hey Sidney wassup"

Sidney is my bestest friend of all time. We been together since 6th grade and I still put up with her bullshit. But I love her.

"So what do you have this year? I heard we have a new teacher for English, I hope I have him..." She babbled on

"Shut up Sidney!" Instantly her mouth closed. We walked together to my locker and exchanged schedules.

I let out a sigh of relief. "Yes we have English, math, lunch and study hall together." All I heard from her was a little scream.

I swear for a black girl she sure does act white. "What are you screaming for?" "We have English first period which is starting in like two minutes" She quickly grabbed my hand and dragged me to class.

There was no need to walk in class like I was unknown cause let me tell you, I was greeted by many by the time I walked in.

"Ari, looking good ma" I heard one boy said. I think his name was Westly. "Hey Ari do you wanna sit with me"

My head snapped to the boy who asked me that. It was my ex boyfriend Austin. We go way back to freshman year. We dated for a year and broke up just last year.

I went and sat next to him. I looked him up and down and must I say he looked good. He wore a red Hollister bottun up shirt leaving the two top ones undone and khaki pants that hung loose on him. His hair was looking like an afro but curled.

Finally I looked in his eyes. This dark green eyes that would capture you. He leaned down and whispered in my ear.

"You have no idea how much I missed you" And you have no idea how much I missed you. I said that in my head but before I could say anything the teacher walked in.

"Goodmorning class i'm Mr. Daniels and happy first day" I wasn't even paying attention to him.

He started roll call by calling out "David Armstrong" "Here"

It went on until he finally got to my name. "Arielle Rivera" I looked up and finally noticed what the fuss was all about.

This man standing in front the classroom wasn't just hot he was perfect. He had skin as tan as a guy model. Weird I know. His eyes glowed the color honey. His hair looked like sex hair but all the same it was cute.

Then his clothes. He wore a white botton up shirt leaving the first two undone, a black tie and black dress pants. He cleared his throat and I instantly snapped out of it.

A blush rose to my cheeks and I let out a hoarse "here" with my voice cracking

... Mr. Daniels pov...

You can do this... That was all I can say in my head while on my way to my first period class. I know I was like five minutes late. What a good first impression.

I finally reached my class. I grapped the knob and twisted it. I walked into the classroom finding a bunch of girls sitting in the front staring at me like im a piece of meat.

"Goodmorning class im Mr. Daniels, and happy first day" I tried to sound cheery but it just wasn't working.

So I started roll call with the first person on my list. "David Armstrong" "Here" Perfect. This went on until I got to the last name. "Arielle Rivera"

I looked up to see one of the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

I started looking at her from down. She wore a Jean jacket cardigan with a little white tank top with short shorts and blue TOMS. I started making my way up to her face and she blew me away.

With her shinning tanned skin and light green eyes. Her hair was brown with blonde streaks and very long and straight. What also surprised me was that she had no make up on.

I had to snap out of it, she's my student I can't fall for her. I saw here staring at me so I cleared my throat.

She blushed and finally said "here" with a crack in her voice. This is gonna be a hard and long year.
