I was your average student you know? Grew up in an average white family, picket fence, chocolate labador and a devious younger sister. Hell, I even have the standard blonde hair blue eyes! There isn't much that's special about me, but socially I was top dog! I was blessed with these good looks and a smile that could kill. Girls would gut themselves if they thought it'd get them a kiss from me. Guys wanted to be me, girls wanted to have me and I enjoyed pulling some of their loose strings with a flirtatious grin to get what I deserved.

I've given girls heart attacks with a special "Brother Combo". Basically I flaunt my little sister around as she acts cute and helpless. I act as the heroic older brother that helps her in her times of need. But enough about my awesomeness.

My life had a path paved with gold, but everything fadded opon her arrival to our school.

"Students, I'm glad to introduce our new student, Lisa!" The teacher announced to our class happily. All eyes gazed over to this girl, she had a kind looking face. Someone who'd invite a homeless man to Christmas dinner if given the chance. She smiled to the class with a light blush rising in her face.
"Hello, I'm new here to America, but as you can see I speak english just fine so have no fear to talk to me!" She cocked her head and giggled causing her brown curls to bounce. The room became an uproar of amusement. I heard a hushed whispers commenting her behind me.
"She's so cute!"
"She has to be our new friend"
"Should we invite her to sit next to us at lunch?"
"I think I'm in love"
I felt uncomfortable at these comments. So much attention to this one girl, what's her name? Lisa? God, well if she's "the best" then I'll just have to pursue her.
I smirked wolfish like as my eyes searched over her body, she was certainly attractive, but it was her previous statement and stature she held that allured everyone, bringing us in a comfortable sense of love.
"Alright Lisa, you sit next to James," The teacher said to the new girl as she pointed at me. I gave a mental hell yeah. Lisa's gaze casted to me and she gave me a shy little wave and quickly sat next to me. Grins and pleasured gestures where shared amongst all those around her. Following this came the teacher who set a brand new History text book on her desk. She thanked her and we all went on with our normal routine in this class. Yet still, I couldn't get her out of my mind as I stole glances at her. Even from here I could smell her sweet flowered scent. It was so intoxicating it obliterated time itself which is a nice way to say I was drooling so much I didn't notice class was nearing its end.
"JAMES!" A girls voice shattered his thoughts. James looked up to see a girl he knew over him, she held a worksheet in her hand with many smudged eraser marks. "Wow, you must be really focused!" Wha? I looked down and saw my own worksheet was nearly finished. I wasn't even aware that I had been working.
"Oh, uh yeah!" James chipped happily, "What do you need, princess?" She blushed and looked away momentarily.
"Oh uh, I just need help, do you know what yellow journalism is? I can't remember..."
"Ah yes, it's journalists that stretched the truth" James responded coolly.
"Oh, thanks!" She said about to leave when James held her hand.
"No trouble," I kissed the back of her hand "my sweet" I couldn't help, but chuckled as her face flushed with embarrassed emotion. Of course I knew she loved it. Everyone adores my charm. She left and I finished the remainder of my work quickly with no hassle. I could hear the hushed giggles and gossip come from the girls as they where rejoicing the lucky girl that got called "princess" by yours truly. I ignored this as it was useless too me. Instead I studied Lisa's movements. People attempted to speak with her and while she was friendly, she kept her conversations short and kept to her study. Wait a minute. What study? She is doodling! Must be an artist, which means she is creative and that means she must have a lower confidence. I logged away my precious information, which really was a huge assumption, when the bell rang and the herd of students trampled outwords pouring into the hallways. I was about to leave when the teacher called Lisa's name following with mine.
"James, since you seem to be pretty easy going," she said, "you'll be the one to tour Lisa and please help her find her locker." I nodded and looked to Lisa who looked at me expectantly. Her eyes where large dark pools, I didn't know pupils could get so big. She was handed a sheet and we where off. The crowds hadn't dissipated and I hadn't mind as Lisa, not caring for personal boundaries, clung to my side as we maneuvered through finally reached salvation as I led her to an abandoned class room with a broken lock. We entered the cluttered room, she was utterly confused.
"Oh sorry, I just thought maybe we could hear each other better here," I said kindly to her as I caressed her cheek, she as I expected blushed and even shivered a bit at the touch. My fat ego was being tossed another treat, victory was on the horizon.
"Yes, well..." She trailed off, "...could you show me where my locker is?" I nodded and looked at her paper.
"What a coincidence!" I exclaimed my lie, "your locker is close to mine, about 5 away!" It was no coincidence, my locker was next to a handful of empty ones, only made sense her's would be one of them. She smiled happily, I nearly choked. She had a smile that could melt hearts. I knew in that moment that we where going to rule the school together. I'd train her to be the most attractive person on this planet, but not in the universe as that's my title.
I opened the door for her and we left to this crowded hallway once more.
"Here," I said offering an empty hand, "so we don't get separated" she happily obliged taking my hand much as a wolf would claim it's a meat.
When we walked down the hall our peers locked eyes on us, the hand holding spoke volumes. I saw many jealous glances and scowls be given to Lisa, good, she'll be more dependent on me this way. I locked eyes with a few so called competitors and gave gloating looks which enraged them. Ha, yeah that's right. THIS ONE IS MINE.

Arriving to our lockers we talked for a great deal of time and wow was she amazing. Her charm, her looks, the way she laughed. It even threw me off balance. I lost my cool and I couldn't help it, but...I was in love.
