ALEX'S POV

She just ran. She didn't even say thank you or anything. She could barely even get the words out. Did I make her that nervous when I kissed her? I'm just that appealing aren't I?

It's 1:30 AM and I can't sleep. I remember looking through her phone to find any contacts to get her phone back to her. While searching I saw her number and saved it into my phone. She's soooo....  beautiful. I don't even know. I barely even know her but I just can't stop thinking about her. With her in mind I decide to text her.

Hey -Alex  

I check my phone almost every second to see if she replies. I'm sure she won't but it's worth a shot.

HANNAH'S POV

I hear my phone buzz on my dresser from across my room. Who could it  be? I look at my alarm clock on the nightstand next to my bed.

1:45 AM

Woah! Who could be texting me this late? Honestly no one I knew would text me this late. I think about getting up to check my phone but I just roll over in my bed.

I was very curious as to who it was so I eventually got up to go look at my phone. It's a message from...... Alex.

Hey -Alex

What? How did he get my number?

"How did you get my number? " I reply.

ALEX'S POV

"How did you get my number?" Was plastered on my phone screen. She obviously did not want to text me. I thought about what I would text her next. "No hi back?" I type. I instantly delete it not knowing what to say. I just lay there in my bed wondering what I should type next .... But I don't say anything.

HANNAH'S POV

Alex never replied. I was kind of devastated that he didn't. I think back to the New Years kiss. Everything  was a blur while we were kissing. I promise you I do not like him but I can't say that I didn't like the kiss. I had to get over him I barely knew him and school is starting back tomorrow and I have to worry about making awesome grades in my AP classes.

BEEP ......BEEP ......BEEP..... BEEP

My alarm clock is the loudest thing ever.

I get out of my bed feeling miserable. I could not sleep last night. I tossed and turned all night long. But it is the first day back to school so I have to get up.

"Hannah! Come and get breakfast!" My mom yells from downstairs. Mom cooked my breakfast almost every morning. I loved her she's so graceful and wise and she's someone I look up to.

I make my way downstairs and sit down at our dining room table. I stare at the plate in front of me. Egg whites, sausage, grits, and of course water. I eat my food very quickly. I forgot that I hadn't eaten since before I went to Time Square to celebrate the New Year.

I go back upstairs and get dressed. Remembering that it is the first day back to school I pick out something extra cute.

I lay my maroon sweater, jeans, and my brown boots on my bed. By the time I finished getting dressed it is time for me to go to school. I hop in my car and drive I school.

BING.......BING ........BING ........BING

The late bell rings as soon as I begin to unlock the lock to my locker.

"You're late." A familiar voice whispers in my ear behind me.
