The A-Z Of Romance

Prologue

I panted heavily as I ran across the playground, my ponytail had filed out after some while. My wacky strawberry blond hair was everywhere.

"Luke! Go away!" I laughed, held between heaving and stopping to catch my breath.

How wonderful it is to be infatuated with the brown-haired demon known as Luke Evans. He had stolen my heart and that isn't even the crazy part. Infatuation is not even it anymore. After two weeks, I think it is about time that I declare my love to Luke Evans.

Now I know what you may be thinking by now. What the heck is wrong with this girl and her wacky introduction? I'll tell you what.

I'm in love. And it feels so right and so wrong in so many ways. When I look at him, my heart melts, when he looks at me, my heart explodes. That's how it goes, the simple story. The two plus two basic equation. That is just the way things are.

But not for me. The second my eyes land on Luke, I can see us when we enter highschool, our first glorious days of dating. And him cheating on me for Lacey Kans. Are you kidding me? Lacey Kans ends up being super hot and all the guys want her and then here I am, maybe hallucinating a future for Luke and I. But I can also see that I forgive him and he loves me. We get married. I guess that's just my idea of a perfect future.

He pulled my ponytail and I glared at him, it's not everyday your crush flirts with you.

"You jerk." And that is how it began. Time lapse maybe thirty years and he probably will be some bald fat guy doing conferences in a nice button up shirt and his tidey-whiteys. But he could be mine. He laughed at me as I slapped his face with my ponytail and walked to the other side of Mr. Wilde's seventh grade classroom.

It was the strangest thing ever. I mean, how often do you find a love interest and you can see what would happen if the next three years played out well.

I looked at Luke from across the bright room as he and his brother Mark began terrorizing some poor girl. Of course, it just had to be Lacey.

I glared at them until Mr. Wilde made me look at him.

"Now May. I need you to start your project okay?"

"Yes sir." I yawned, knowing full fact that it irritated the life out of him when someone yawned while he spoke to them. He's always tried to be the fun teacher in paranoia that he would be too boring, we all knew his wife left him because he was too boring for her and he takes that out on us daily. I'm not complaining though, it just means we get to go on more field trips and do more projects than all the other classes. But for this instance, he decided to let it go and walked away.

"May, May, go away, come again another day!" The terrorizing baboons, also known as the Evan brothers walked up to me. Apparently, Mark had made Lacey cry by telling her about the huge zit sprouting from the roof of her nose. Good. That girl needs to humble herself anyway.

"My birthday is in May." Luke said. I looked at him with lust filled eyes.

"Is it really?" I flitted my eyelashes like I had seen Ariel the mermaid do so many times in front of the prince.

"No, stupid, his birthday is in July." Mark grabbed the pencil sharpener on the side of the table and put the back of his pencil into it.

"Mark! That's my pencil!" Luke complained, watching his beloved eraser get torn to shreds.

"Yeah, I know, now it's just a pencil. Who says pencils need erasers anyway?" Mark sneered and tossed it to me. "May, catch!" He laughed as I grabbed the pencil in mid-air just as Luke reached for it.

I froze completely when his hand touched me. Millions of visions overwhelmed me. Him grown up, us kissing, us being happy walking through Crown highschool for our first day of school. And finally a very sad breakup in sophomore year where he freaking cheated on me. Asshole. I am so not ever dating you.

"Earth to May." Mark waved his hands in front of my face and began slapping my cheeks lightly.

"What?" I growled, backing away, very annoyed.

"You let him have the pencil! You failed me. You're fired, I don't want you as my sidekick anymore."

"Actually Mark, you're fired, I don't want you as my sidekick anymore." I smirked and hurried away from him toward where Luke was.

"Listen here buddy." I yelled as everyone in our small classroom's ears perked up to listen in on my conversation, "you don't just cheat on a girl for freaking Lacey! Are you kidding me?!" I shouted. His face filled with shock.

"May, I think you forgot your cuckoo pills this morning because first, I would never cheat on you and second, we aren't even dating!" He exclaimed, discomfort evident on his face.

"Don't lie to me Luke Evans. I saw you with her when you kissed her in sophomore year and. . ."

"May, please stop interrupting my class, go to the office." Stupid. I sounded so stupid. I just humiliated myself in front of my long time, two week, crush, Luke Evans.

"I'm sorry, I'll be good!" I whined as Mr. Wilde pointed to the door. "Come on Mr. Wilde, don't be so strict, strict is boring!" I shouted as his face turned into fifty shades of shocked.

"May. Go now. Or else I will give you a referral."

"It'll be the first thing you ever gave me!" I stuck ny tongue out and walked out the door, "crazy boring psycho!" I shouted loud enough for Mr. Wilde to come chasing me down the hallway and losing his job.

Point one goes to May. I ran to the office just as Mr. Wilde began panting rapidly, being questioned by the principal herself must have felt so interrogatingly freaky.

"Look Mr. Wilde, if you want some life advice, I would say, stop being so boring." My words probably crushed him like the squirming bug he is with his eyes popping out of their sockets.

Without further questioning, because all the office staff had focused their attention on Mr. Wilde, I headed back to class where my weird vision had led me to believe that Luke was capable of ever hurting me.

I walked in as everyone was silently whispering about their favorite teacher. They all watched me walk over to Luke and finally admit what I have been wanting to tell him for weeks.

"Luke, I really like you and. . ."

"I like you too May." He smiled, not taking what I was putting down.

"I mean, as more than a friend Luke."

"Me too." He smiled, his bright brown eyes, which were so different from his brother's blue ones, glimmered under the raging classroom lights. "So, are you my girlfriend now?" He asked curiously.

The concept of having a boyfriend was foreign to me, but I was willing to try it out, to see if the vision was real.
