Completing the fourth grade and entering the fifth is no huge accomplishment.  Sneakers on and backpack slung over my shoulder I enter the room.  I find my desk and sit alone for a few minutes until another girl shows up.  I look over at her and she smiles at me.  I think to myself 'take a deep breath Cat, make a good first impression.  This girl could possibly be your future best friend.'  I smile back and introduce myself.  She says her name is Leila.  We talk for a while and become fast friends.  She later did turn out to be one of my best friends.  After a while a new member joins our group of desks.  Another girl, short like me and a big smile across her face.  She later turns out to be another one of my best friends.  After chatting for a while with my new acquaintances the last member of our group finds his was to the desk across from me.  He sits down not caring who was around him and starts filling his desk with supplies from his backpack.  I fold my hands and rest my chin on them as I find myself staring at him.  He's the most marvelous sight my eyes have ever had the pleasure of meeting.  He's has long dark hair that falls in front of his shimmering brown eyes.  My eyes trace down from his eyes to his lips which are thin but a shade of rosy pink that makes them almost irresistible.  His cheeks are covered in small freckles that should consider themselves lucky to be there.  I sit back up in my chair and brush my hair out of my face.  He looks up at me and his miserable face turns to a smile.  I smiled back.  "I'm Zale."  He said looking into my eyes.  "Cat,"  I replied with a small laugh.
