Mia's P.O.V-
"Oh! Mia you are soo sweet! I think I am falling for you! And I am falling hard! " hearing this I turn around only to feel so plump and soft lips crash onto mine and so I am forced to shut my eyes and drown deep in the realms of this love just expressed!

But suddenly I feel an ache in my heart when my fingers reach my craving lips that have been left alone after that peck which my brain had thought of as a full fledged make out passionate kiss.....

And then I regain my conscious when I hear my name being called out
"Mia! Mia!"
Firstly it is distant but then this soft voice comes nearer ,
"Ms. Wilson!"
Becomes clearer,
"Ms.Wilson! Get up!"
And then it became deadlier,
"Ms.Mia Wilson! Wake up!"

That is how an amazing, lovely, romantic, exciting.. ok now i am exaggerating.. dream is shattered!
I regain my posture by sitting straight when I was startled by a pat on my shoulder,... It must be the cute guy i noticed while entering the class ...MIA you need to stop drooling CONCENTRATE......
To see a very angry Mr umm I dont know his name because i was sleeping..as u all know .. while he, our Advanced Chemistry Proffesor, must have entered the class and gave his introduction.
I stand up because of embarrassment! It is the first class of my first day at my new school in Manhattan and I ,MIA WILSON, AM ALREADY FACING DETENTION!

Yaa... Who could believe that a girl like me, though I am super clumsy yet I have been a straight A student in my previous school, would be given detention on my first day! He should have understood that it was due to my midterm , kinda as I missed the starting month of my senior year, admissions I had to remain awake late night to cope with the already done studies in my Advanced level classes! And still I hadn't even got my hostel room! I had to stay in the waiting room of the hostel the yester night as no room had a spare bed and arrangements could be made only the next morning.. soo in short.. I had had a pathetic night !

A BAD STARTING....

It was after four long and boring classes that we had a break, just an hour for lunch..
Although it was my first day, it was not the same for all students over there as the batch had begun a month earlier... I was late to join the course because of my super large and protective family, who made it a hard nut to crack to convince them to let me go to school abroad, away from my family , my past ! Too dramatic right?! That is my belonging! Now you know where I got it from!

As i made my way through the line after gathering things I'd like to have for lunch I started walking in the direction of an empty table when I spotted a guy... You might be thinking I am drooling again as others in the cafeteria also think the same... Because the guy that caught my eye was none other than Blake Parker!
The hunk, the player, the flirt of this school as he was of our school !
Yaa he was from my previous school but we dont have the bestfriends status! Most time of the school we had been ignoring each other but in the tenth year we proved to be compatible enough to tolerate each other! We were became close , as in more than formality friends ! He was the one who brought out my inner fun self during those days of schooling! hence now I can say I was more than happy to find him here ! He had switched schools over here as his father got transfered .. he didn't want to leave with him so he came here where his grandma lived but still stayed in the dorms as his grandma didn't prefer him driving!

After 4 classes I hadn't found any friends or even any wanna-be-friends so I was glad enough that he smiled on spotting me and carelessly started walking in my direction!

A relief and a ray of hope ran down my spine.. i dont know why and how... but a smile made its way to my lips and i started grinning as--

"Finally I hope to survive!!"


"hey Mia!"he approached.

"hey Blake!" I replied with a genuine smile.

"You ! Here? I didn't know!" Sarcasm dripping from his voice..

" ummm .... Ya think so! ... Unless you can talk to ghosts!" Feeling confident for the first time in the entire day.

"Perhaps! Btw why dont you join me and my friends for lunch?!" He said as he ran a hand through his messy dark hair making it messier... That was when i noticed him.. puberty had made its magic on him.. he actually looked hot!

I gladly accepted the offer as it is much better to sit with a 'compatible person' and Make new friends than sitting in the dark corner of the cafeteria and ogling over hot guys.... Yaa ! I'm a big drooler.. if you cant get them to be your boyfriend whats the harm in simple staring okkk... I know I sound too cliche..

As he walked me to his table, the center table,.. because obviously the popular people sit on 'the center high table'... Each and every pair of eyes in the cafeteria were now staring at me.. every guy was ogling me like I was a piece of meat .... A delicious one ... But every girl looked at me with furrowed brows and acted so jealous.. as though I had kissed their boyfriend.. I HAD NOT..
I suddenly became conscious of my elbow length brunette wavy hair tied in a messy fish tail pony laying over my loose, oversized grey sweater hanging off one shoulder over my favourite blue tight jeans...and then as we reached the table he dragged a chair for me and I was shocked..

"Have you seriously grown up? Like you have ettiquetes now?"

"Nope!" He said popping the p while I sat down on the chair... Only to find myself landing on my butt on the floor because it was pulled away.. and as I lay on the floor.. my butt aching my newly born confidence went swimming in a lake only to drown....

"Ow! You are mean" I said while he also lay beside me on the floor.. no he did not fall.. the difference was I had fallen whereas he was literally 'rolling on the floor laughing' !

Embarrased of acting like a fool on the first social meeting with the students of my new school where I could actually make an image of myself .... i got up... brushed my clothes... And grinned on my own stupidity and clumsiness! I was sure that now my cheeks must have been tinted red hence I would be lookin like a strawberry... Not a tomato as most people say coz I HATE TOMATOES..

Having realised that I had zoned out .. I dragged another chair for myself ,sat down after introducing myself as "the clumsy Mia" and tried to make a conversation..

As i finished my cheese burger along with my diet coke ,I realised that these people who I shared my first lunch time with were amazing.

Blake was his usual self but his buddies ,also his roommates, Evan and Jake were quite interesting and entertaining.. I came to know many things about Blake.. his attitude towards others was also his cocky self except his friends!

All in all they made my day memorable.. on the table was also sat Kate Williams and Frank Kyle .. though Frank was the one sitting on the bench while Kate sat on his lap..they were quite busy in making out.. though they kissed like a lot but it was you know awkward!! It was then I noticed that they had been so for the previous year or so as well because the boys did not seem to mind at all.. leaving sometimes when Blake would make faces.. I noticed that and a sheepish laugh left my lips.. he caught my gaze but turned away with a tinge of guilt or sorrow in his eyes! But I decided to ignore them as I had much better work.. or lets say friends.. to deal with than to stare at a couple..*wink*

Atleast now , at the end of the day I had someone I could call friends
Because of Blake!
