Chapter 1

"Ana! Come here quick!" Carrie, my best friend, yelled from across the lunchroom. I had just walked into the lunchroom when she called for me. I couldn't help but laugh as I thought about just how strange Carrie can be.

As I neared our table all my friends welcomed me with a wave or a hello and I just smiled and returned the friendly gesture. A gasp escaped my lips as Carrie nearly tackled me to the floor and dragged me over to the other side of the table where she was sitting. I giggled at her frantic movements while she thought over what news she had to tell me.

"Carrie, calm yourself. I'm here, now what do you have to tell me?" I spoke while I sat in the seat adjacent to her. I swear this girl is never calm.

"You know Niall right?" She paced as she spoke, which meant this was going to be important, or at least she found it important.

"Yeah, he's my lab partner." She stopped dead in her tracks the minute the words left my lips.

"He's your what now?" The way she spoke sent shivers down my spine. I know she's my best friend but sometimes I thing she's going to skin me alive.

"We just got new lab partners today, and well, he's mine." I spoke with caution because I'd rather eat my lunch instead of having a knife in my throat.

"You're joking, right?" I shook my head no and gave her a little I'm sorry smile. I really don't know how she's going to react, and that kinda scares me.

"Oh my god! This is fantastic!" She squealed for joy while I breathed a sigh of relief. "You can be like my inside man, and tell me everything that's going on with his life. What he likes and dislikes! Thank god you're smart! Meanwhile all of my classes are full of idiots who think they're hot shit." We shared a laugh while she continued devising her master plan to win Niall's heart.

"So are you saying that you have a little crush on Niall Horan?" I decide to tease her because what are best friends for? Her cheeks turned a pink color and she just smiled back at me.

"Aw! Little Carrie has got herself a crush!" She giggled as her cheeks became impossibly more red.

"Keep your voice down or else he'll hear you!" She whisper yelled at me. Just then she looked up at the doors to the cafeteria, and in walked Mr. Horan himself.

What really caught my attention was the boy that walked in next. He was tall and had long legs that were covered with black skinny jeans, and when I say skinny I mean cutting off circulation skinny. His pants hung low on his hips. The shirt concealing the mysterious of his torso was midnight black, and he wore a red flannel hiding the dark shirt. I could see tattoos peaking out of the top of his shirt and on his arms. His skin had a perfect golden gleam, and he had a very toned body. His hair was a bit on the long side with a gentle curl. The thing that caught my attention the most was his eyebrow piercing. My mother always told me that when people put holes in their face they were only making themselves look stupid, but I think it looked sexy on him.

I didn't realize how long I had been staring at him until he looked at me and eyed me up and down. When his glaze settled back on my face his right eyelid dropped in a wink while he followed Niall to their table. If I weren't sitting I'd probably be on the floor by now.

"Anastasia? Hello, earth to Ana!" I looked at her and she motioned to the lunch line, which had now diminished, and waited for me to stand and follow her to get our food.

"Do you know that guy that walked in with Niall?" I asked Carrie. She looked at me with a puzzled look on her face and shrugged.

"He's in my math class and he doesn't talk much. He just moved here from who knows where and that's really all I know. Why?" She looked at me for an answer which I couldn't really tell why I wanted to know because I didn't even know.

"I was just wondering because I've never seen him before." I spoke as we entered the lunch line. What's the lunch today? I peered over to the sign in the wall and it said macaroni and cheese. I think I'll just get pizza today.

I went over to the other line for pizza and talked to my friends while I waited for the line to move.

Their pizza isn't that bad today. I grabbed myself a slice of cheese pizza, some pineapples, and a water bottle. Might as well try to be healthy.

After I checked out and paid for my food I went back to my table and literally inhaled my pizza and pineapples. I didn't get to eat breakfast this morning so don't judge.

Once I finished my lunch I threw it away and went to my locker to get my stuff for my next period class. I didn't really want to sit in the cafeteria anymore, I just needed some time to think. As I was headed towards my locker I saw Niall standing next to my locker with that new guy. I need to find out his name now.

The plan is to start talking to Niall about chemistry stuff and then maybe he will introduce me to his friend or I'll ask.

"Hey Niall." I spoke when I got to my locker.

"Hi Anastasia. How're you doing?" He flashed me a smile and turned his attention to me.

"I'm good. How are you?" I smiled back at him and put in my locker combination. When my locker finally decided to open I put my books in and grabbed my books for English and AP writing.

"I'm good. I've just been showing Harry around all day, which is what I'm doing now. Looks like his locker is right next to yours." That's his name, Harry. I rather like that name.

"Hello Harry, I'm Anastasia but you can call me Ana for short." I smiled and put my hand out for him to shake. He looked down at my hand and finally decided to take it. His hand shake was firm and short.

"Hey Anastasia." He turned back to his locker and grabbed some books from it. I noticed one book that he took out was the English book that I had. I guess we are in the same English class.

"Do you have English next period by any chance?" I smiled at him and pointed to his book, which he soon put into a backpack that he was carrying.

"How could you guess?" He said very sarcastically and then a grin spread across his face as he shut his locker.

"Harry likes to joke around a lot, but most of his jokes are horrible." Niall laughed and Harry punched him in the arm and joined in the laughter. Right then the bell rang for seventh period to start. I'd better get going so that I can get there before the late bell rings.

"I can take Harry off your hands Niall because we are going to the same class anyway." Niall nodded and smiled at me as he said goodbye to Harry and walked off to his next class.

"So Harry, where did you move here from?" I asked as we headed towards the stairwell.

"Why do you ask so many questions?" He asked back. Well maybe it's because I want to know more about you and get to know you more.

"Why don't you answer my questions?" I smiled at him as we walked up the stairs.

"There you go, asking more questions." He chuckled and turned towards me.

"I moved here from Lakeview High School. There happy now?" He looked at me amused and waited for my response.

"Yes I am happy actually. Do you want to ask me any questions?" We stopped in the hallway outside of our class because when we go inside we aren't allowed to talk.

"Why do you have this ratty old notebook? Why don't you just get a new one?" He went to grab my song book off the top of my books and I instinctively swatted his hand away. He put his hands up to signal that he surrendered.

"Sorry that's just a problem I have. I don't like when people touch my song book." I have some very personal songs and writings in there that is rather no one see.

"So it's a song book. Do you write your own songs?" I nodded my head yes and looked up at the clock.

"We've got less than a minute so we better get in there." We walked into the classroom and I went to the seat I always sit in. I didn't expect Harry to sit next to me because we just met but he did but I wasn't upset that he did.

"Welcome class, today we are going to discuss..."
