Love Unpredicted

Chapter One

(Taylor's Point Of View)

As I lay here in his arms I think back to the day we met. The memory is still very vivid in my mind, even though it was just over a year ago. It is one of the best and strangest days in my life.

September 12, 2014

I decided that, since I had just finished reading my book, I would go to the library during B lunch to exchange it for a new one.

As the bell rang, signaling that the first half of our lunch period was over, I threw my trash away and began making my way to the library. I absolutely love the library, there is so much to learn and very few distractions.

I reach the doors leading to my haven and pull them open gently. I walk quickly and make my way to the corner in the back.

Almost every day I would come in here and sit at the same table in the back where no one could disturb me. Usually no one ever sat here, since the only things in this part of the library where the outdated reference books. All the new and interesting books were kept towards the front, leaving me well hidden at my table in the back.

Today was different though, someone was sitting at the table across from mine. As I approach my table I realize who it is and become very nervous.

Spencer Haze. What is he doing in a library? More importantly, what is he doing in this part of the library? Everyone knows that I'm the one of the only people that ever sits back here.

After I set my things down I quickly shuffle over to the teen fiction section. Too bad it's not further from the back because I can still feel his eyes on me as I look through the books.

I try my best to ignore the feeling as I grab a random book and walk back to my seat. I glance over at him as I sit down, he is still watching me. I look to see what book I grabbed; Tears Of A Tiger was sitting in my lap. I've heard a lot of good things about this book.

In all my excitement from this new book I forgot about being watched for a few minutes. That was until Spencer plopped down in the chair right beside me. I froze but never looked over at him.

He didn't say a word, he just sat there scribbling on a piece of paper. I tried to continue reading, but something about him intrigued me to the point of distraction. I could smell his cologne and it made me a little light headed. Is it actually humanly possible to smell that good? Was he even human? No human is perfect, but he is practically flawless from head to toe. What could he possibly want with a girl like me?

Then the bell rang, making me jump. He let out a small chuckle and swiftly took my book out of my hands. I was about to get really angry, but his words stopped me.

"I like you, Taylor. Text me sometime", He said as he slid a folded piece of paper in my book and set it back down. "This is an amazing book by the way."

Before I could even fathom what just happened, he had disappeared. I brushed it off as best as I could and tried to continue the day like any other, but had little success. It was very difficult for me to get my work done today, something quite unusual for me. I'm a straight A student that never slacks off, but today was different. I kept trying to figure out why Spencer would want to talk to me, meaning that I accomplished nothing in class. I was more than happy to hear the final bell ringing, dismissing us to go home.

Since I live pretty close to school I walk home rather than riding a bus full of loud and smelly kids. I was home about ten minutes later. I lock the door behind me as I walk in and climb the stairs to my room. My mother is working at the hospital, so she won't be home for another couple of hours. I walk into my room and throw my bag onto my bed. Something falls out and onto the hardwood floor. I peak over and see that it's the book I got from the library today. I pick it up and climb into my warm bed.
