Chapter 1:

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have feelings for him. Even today. When I know that I shouldn't. Everything is over and done with. 

He moved on and you're...working on that? I thought to myself.

It all started 3 years ago. Freshman year. I saw him outside of our Geometry class with the other people in my class, waiting for the teacher and instantly liked him. He was staring blankly ahead, looking deep in thought. His bright blue eyes glazed over with boredom. His shaggy golden blonde hair barely reaching his eyes.

I walked past him to the end of the protruding line outside the classroom and for a swift moment his eyes met mine. Being the shy person I was, I immediately looked away, earning a chuckle from him.

Eventually the teacher, Mr. Bunch came and opened the classroom door, everyone scurried in and squashed each other.

"Okay guys, I already have the seating chart arranged and when I call your name, make your way to your ASSIGNED seat. Try to be sneaky and you will be kicked out." 

Geez, not only do I hate math, but the teacher is strict.

"Nathan!" Mr. Bunch's voice boomed across the classroom, like a bootcamp worker. He dramatically slammed his palm down on the seat nearest the door. 

I saw the boy from earlier go to his assigned seat. Yes! I hope I sit next to him! 

"Evelyn!" He did the same thing to the desk right behind Nathan's.

Eff yeah! I thought to myself.

I was dazed in my thoughts until Mr. Bunch said the most horrible thing ever.

"Okay class, now that we have that settled, we will get to know the people around us. Start with the person in front of you, behind you, to your right, to your left, blah, blah, blah. Just do it." He rolled his eyes at the last part.

Shit! What am I gonna do?! I suck at trying to talk to people, I'm super shy, and know absolutely ZERO people in this class! Whatever, he's gonna have to talk to me sooner or later.

I lift a slightly clammy finger to tap him on his back when he suddenly turned around, making me poke his chest.

Oh god! He must think I'm a creeper now!

I just hear him laugh again and say, "Hey, I'm Nathan." 

Then he gives me the most heart warming smile and the little voice at the back of my head goes, "Oh my god!" like a crazed Jonas Brothers fan. (No offense to JB fans. I like them too!)

"Uh...I'm Evelyn." I say and let out a nervous chuckle. A piece of my dark brown bangs get in the way of my sight and I move it away.

"Cool. So, uh, what middle school did you come from?" he asks me and actually looks interested. How the hell could I be interesting?! 

"Um, Springfield." I reply in a barely audible voice.

"I'm sorry, I can't really hear you." he says and moves closer.

Damnit! That's not fair!

"Next person!" Mr. Bunch shouts. Whew! Saved by the teacher.

"Well it was nice meeting you Evelyn!"

As I meet more people from this class, I get less and less interested. Half of these people are barely saying anything and for the first time in my life, I'm TRYING to make an effort to.

When that suckish activity was over, Mr. Bunch drones on and on about what we'll be learning and yada yada yada.

I look straight ahead at Nathan's back and he looks like he's asleep. His head is propped up on his arm, I hear soft snoring and he looks totally relaxed from here.

It's funny though, he seems like he would be a serious student but he's not. 

Seeing him asleep, makes me tired, too. I was up all night with the first day of school jitters and barely got sleep. As Mr. Bunch sees my tired expression, I suppress a yawn to make it look like I'm listening and when he goes back to facing the board like he has for most of the class period, I put my head down onto the cold, wooden desk and let the darkness envelop me.

Moments later, I am awoken by the bell and a half empty classroom. Thank god, it was the last class of the day. I look up only to meet a pair of angry eyes belonging to satan's spawn, I mean, the teacher. 

"How dare you two fall asleep in MY class! Detention for the both of you. After school. Here. For an hour and a half."

Damn this freakin' teacher.

When we leave, I feel a tap on my shoulder and I turn around to see those gorgeous blue eyes boring into mine. He smiles and says,

"Evelyn, I think we're gonna be great friends this year."

God, now he thinks I'm a slacker like him?!

This is going to be a long freshman year.
