Chapter 1

"Ellie, honey wakeup! You'r gonna be late for school!"

I groaned and turned on my side only to fall off the bed on my butt. I groaned again and tried to untangle myself from the sheets that wrapped around my legs during the night.

I got up from the ground and headed for the bathroom. With my eyes closed.

"ouch!!" I cried when my head collided on the wall beside the bathroom door. I quickly opened my eyes and went inside the bathroom for a quick shower. After the shower I hurriedly got dressed in my jeans and sweatshirt, that hung on my body like a curtain, put on my glasses and raced down the stairs. Half-way down I realized that I forgot my bag so I turned on my heels and went to my room, took my bag and again raced downstairs. And as my clumsiness kicked in, I tumbled down the last three steps.

Thankfully, I didn't get hurt. "Be careful Ellie." My mom called from the kitchen. "I am." I replied back walking in the kitchen where my mom was making pancakes and my dad was reading the morning newspaper with a mug of coffe in hand. I quickly grabbed a toast from the plate infront of my dad. "Hey!! That's mine." He huffed when I took a large bite off the toast. "Love ya too Dad." I said as I kissed him on the cheek and did the same with my mother and ran out to the garage to my car.

Hopping into my not-so-cool truck, I raced for school.

I live fifteen from school so I had to speed up a bit. I reached school with 5 mins to spare. As I was walking towards my locker looking down at my mobile, someone bumped into me causing my phone to drop from my hands.

"what the fish!"

I was about to let out a colourful stream of words but they got cought in my throat when I looked up to the person who bumped into me. The guy was hot. Like hot with a capital H. He had brown hair which were a bit long and hung on his forehead and a sharp jawline. He looked at me with those eyes -which I couldn't decide were grey or green- questioningly. "I'm sorry." He said. My eyes widened "No no no. don't say sorry. I should have seen where I was going." I said shyly. Partly because I was at fault and partly because he was so beautiful.

He smiled and said "its ok. I should have seen where I was going too."

And he is sweet too. I thought.

Suddenly someone tackled me and I fell on my butt, second time today. When I looked to see if the hot guy witnessed this, I saw no one there instead I saw my crazy best friend who had cause me to fall on my butt.

"Omg Ellie! Your' here. I thought you were gonna skip today. I was so proud of you. But then you showed up." Whined Kim waving her hands around.

I pushed Kim off me and whacked her over her head. "Oh El, don't mind her. She's only whining cause she lost the bet." Said Marie coming from behind kim. "what bet?" I asked suspiciously. "nothing!" shrieked Kim. "she bet me 5 bucks that you would finally skip today. Seeing as you don't ever skip school." She said exaggerating the 'ever'. "That's not true." I tried defending myself in vain.

"Really? Tell me the last time you ever did NOT come to school? Yea that's right NEVER." Said kim

"you even come to school when your' sick" continued marie. "hey! I have to keep my attendance and grades up to get a scholarship."

"whateva" Kim and Marie said at the same time.

"hey guys did you listen?" asked marie coming into her gossip mode. "do we really have to?" I groaned. You see Marie is the biggest gossip our school has ever seen. You could literally even ask her about the janiator's affair and she would know about it. "you need to listen to this" she insisted.

"ok. Go on"

"There's this new admission in our school and the rumor is... the guy is hot!"

"not interested" I said. I seriously didn't have time for boys. With mid-terms coming near. Which reminded me... "why is there new admission in the middle of the year?" Kim beat me to it.

"I don't know. Maybe he changed towns or something." The warning bell rang signaling the start of school. "And that's my cue to go. Bye girls." I said heading towards my favorite English class. I took a seat in the middle row. I know I'm a nerd but that doesn't mean that I have to sit on the first bench. As the final bell rang, the students began to fill in. I buried my head in my English book to re-read the last chapter our teacher taught when mr. Samuel's voice caught my attention.

"Good morning class. We have a new admission here in our class. I hope you all will make him feel welcome. Would you like to introduce yourself Mr. Smith?"

I stared as the guy that bumped into me today stepped up to speak.

"hi. My name is Gabriel Smith." He said with a soft smile. All the girls in the class let out a sigh at his smile.

"Ok Mr. Smith you can take a seat wherever you can find place." Gabriel's eyes roamed the class and stopped on me. A flash of recognition passed his eyes and he passed me a smile. But he went and sit on the last bench because that was the only empty place in the class. The class went by smoothly. After the class as I was headed for my next class someone tapped me on the shoulder.

I turned around to see Gabriel standing there. "hi there." He said awkwardly.

"hi" I replied back just as awkward. "umm.. Mr. Samuel told me to take all the notes from you to catch up. Apparently you are the smartest in the class." I blushed and looked down. "ok. I'll give them to you. Will tomorrow be ok?" "yea it'll do. Thanx." He said then left throwing a smile over his shoulder.

He was hot and a sweet guy. Pity I cant date him considering my school and all. But that doesnt mean I cant think hes' hot. As I turned to go to my class I saw marie standing in a distance staring at me smiling creepily. Guess lunch is gonna be long.
