I saw him from the other end of the corridor, His blonde hair sticking up in all the wrong places and oh my god his smile. I love the way he smiles so much you can see dimples on either cheek. I elbow my friend next to me. "Look at the new boy.. Isn't he cute?."

I hear my friend wolf whistling next to me. "Wow.. He is so a 9."
I laugh "No way he's definitely a ten, trust me on this one."

My friend Becca is so funny.. She's the one the boys always go for her never for someone like me. It's like she's got some sort of sales patter, she has the looks and the charm but in reality I'm not sure I'd ever be as confident as her.

I suddenly realise that Becca is talking to me. "Sorry I was miles away, what did you say?."

Becca sighs annoyed having to repeat herself. "I said, are you going to ask him out?."

I shrug back at her. "Maybe.. I don't know.. I doubt he's going to look at me."

Becca notices someone else standing opposite her standing beside some lockers. Becca elbows her friend. "Well you'd better do it quick because it looks like Evil Valerie has got her eye on him too."

I bite my lip. "Maybe your right I wouldn't want him to be saddled with that crazy goth girl."

Becca pushes me forward. I turn and stare back at her embarrassed. She gestures at me to go toward him and whispers "Go on you can do it."

I start walking down the corridor toward him not really paying attention to where I am going.
Bump
Me and the unknown boy bump into each other. His bags and books fall onto the floor.

I gasp "Oh my goodness I'm so sorry!". I start helping him pick up his books.

He grins back at me. "It's fine.. It was partly my fault."

I shake my head at him. "I wasn't looking where I was going.. " I pass him his books back.

He smiles back at me. "Thanks.. I'm Alex by the way."

He holds his hand out to me whilst I grin at his perfect face his big brown eyes staring back at me.

I shake his hand. "I'm Olivia do you want me to show you around?." I watch him as he places his books into his bag. I take a moment to look around at my surroundings and notice that everyone is staring including Evil Valerie.

He chuckles at me. "Olivia that's a pretty name.. I'm fine thanks but I'll keep you in mind if I do." He winks at me and waves goodbye as I watch him walk down the corridor past me.

I walk back to my friend Becca and both of us start getting ready for class. I look for my diary planner in my bag. Looking at Becca I groan in disgust. "Ergh not history again.."

Becca grins "You never know Mr hot dude might be in there."

I roll my eyes at her. "Mr hot dude as you call him actually has a name and his name is Alex."

Becca laughs "It is so obvious you like him.."

I snap at her "I only just met him."

Becca stares at me freakishly "Come on last chance saloon to admit it."

We arrive outside my history classroom. Becca stands staring at me still waiting for me to admit it. "Alright maybe just a smidgen... That's all your going to get out of me though."

Becca smiles at me whilst I brush my blonde hair out of the way of my Amber brown eyes. I smile back as we walk into the classroom to take our seats.
