Maine almost missed her first class, thankfully her Dad was able to giver her a ride to school. "I thought you're gonna be late." Jake told her after she sat beside him. A few moments later, the morning alarm that signals the start of classes started going off. Their professor then entered their room along with a familiar face. Someone that she's very happy to see again.

"Alright introduce yourself first before I find you a seat." he told the young guy. Maine looked around and saw all the girls started paying attention to him. She can't blame them though, he's actually quite attractive.

"My name is Alden R. Richards, I used to study at Brighton University but now here I am." he said nonchalantly.

"So Alden is his name." Maine thought to herself.

"Alright this is Advanced English ... Alden, go sit by the window." Professor Rudy told him and so he followed. Each pair of eyes in the room followed him until he reached his seat. No one expected someone as handsome as him would walk in right on their first day.

Maine just smiled, she knows she definitely wants to befriend him.

"This is stupid. All stupid." Alden thought to himself, wishing his 18th birthday would come earlier so he can separate himself from his parents. That's all he wants at the moment, to be free from their pressure and shadow.

He looked around and saw everyone's serious faces. They're listening to the lecture, the same lesson he already learned a couple of months ago.

What's keeping his mind awake right now is the thought of Vanessa and how she broke his heart. She's the first girl he gave his everything to, and by everything he really mean EVERYTHING. Alden gave her all the things she wants, he gave her his love, his time even his body and yet it's not enough. She still left him and that made him believe that love isn't real, that you can give up on the person you love anytime you want.

"I don't love you anymore" those five words kept on echoing inside his brain. Vanessa is probably seeing a new guy now and yet here he is, still heartbroken about what happened. The rest of the period went by just like that, him being mentally isolated from everyone else.

As soon as the bell started ringing again, Alden gathered all of his stuff and then got out of the room as quickly as possible. He can't wait for the day to be over.

15 minutes into break time, everyone already entered the crowded cafeteria. Maine sat with her group, though she can't help but notice the new kid sitting alone by the corner.

The young girl just looked at him, trying to analyze his overall character.

"Do you have a crush on him?" That question pulled ehr back to reality. Maine looked at her side and saw Jake giving him a weird look.

"What? Hell no."

"I thought that would be a yes. If you do have a crush, you might wanna get in line now." Jake uttered before pointing back at Alden. Maine turned her face and saw the eager crowd surrounding Alden, they all want to know him. What's even weird is taht there are a couple of guys as well.

"Yikes." she thought to herself.

Maine studied his face even more and noticed how he is slowly losing his patience. She commends him though for not blowing up on them, it just means he values first impressions.

"Don't you wanna be his friend?"

"Who?" Jake asked her.

"Him." she replied, pertaining to Alden.

"He looks like a preppy stuck up jerk, of course no." he replied.

Maine crossed her eyebrows and looked at him. "But I thought you're the preppy stuck up jerk?" she then asked Jake who stopped eating and smiled at her.

"Fine ... I'll try to be his friend." he replied.

"Thank you Jake."

"You're welcome. But only for you okay?"

It's past 5:00 pm when the classes for the day are through. Alden decided to drive around town not only to distract himself but also to see if there's anything interesting going on.

After about half an hour or so, he decided to pass by the park. His heart started going wild after seeing a young girl in school uniform sitting on the bench. He quickly pulled up to the side and ran out. Alden's very comfortable with approaching a lady stranger, he practically does it every night at bars. But this time is different, he can feel this weird sensation in his chest. Like he already knows her even if they haven't met yet.

Slowly, he tapped her shoulder. The girl quickly turned out and he saw a familiar face, but he doesn't know from where.

"What?" she asked, probably wondering he touched her. Alden wants to answer, but he's already at lost for words. He can't forget those eyes , those expressive eyes that got him hooked that day. He knows this is her, this is the girl he's looking for.

"It's you ... you're the girl."
