"September 13th, 1990, The day we first met."

'Hey, look at the new kid. I heard he is a complete badboy who is angry all the time.' Selena grabbed my attention by nudging my stomach with her elbow and pointing at the angel that stood all dressed in black a few feet ahead of us.

'Yeah, something about him is very mysterious.' Adam added as he eyed the new boy appreciatively. I chuckled at Adam and let my eyes travel back to the new boy.

'He's fucking hot.' Jenny added as she leaned on someone's locker with a dreamy sigh. He was hot. But that's not what intrigued me.

'What's his name?' I asked softly as we continued walking past him and his locker without making it obvious that we were talking about him.

'They call him Lesley.' Adam's voice was soft, almost hazy and mute, blurring in the back with the rest of the world as I turned back to meet his silver like grey eyes.

They stared back, taunting me to look away, but it only made me look more.

"I guess you could call us naive kids falling in love."

He looked away first, which brought me back to reality, making me quickly turn away too out of embarrassment. But when I turned back to look at him again, nervously with warm cheeks, a small smirk had been carved on his face and his eyes were already on mine.

"Or maybe I was just infatuated with the bad boy and in love with the idea that he could fall in love with me. Maybe I was just in love with our story. I-I honestly don't know. But I did love something bout him and I loved it too much."

It was his silver eyes that intrigued me. It was those eyes that made me look at him. Again and again.

"I finally got courage to make a move on him during one of our game nights."

'Lesley, Right?'

'Yep. What's your name?'

'Lucy.'

'Short for Luciana?'

'Nah, just Lucy.'

'Damn, I've always wanted to date a girl called Luciana.'

'It could be if you want.' His smile erased all my nervous second thoughts of my brashy approach. We continued watching the match for few minutes before I decided to break the silence again.

'I've always wanted to date a guy named Ethan.'

'Damn, it's your lucky day. My first name is Ethan actually. ' He replied with a surprised chuckle and put his hand out for a mock shake hand.

'I know.' I replied with a slight smirk and shook his hand leaving his jaw hanging slightly in shock at my revelation. But I could see that his was impressed through the look in his eyes. Oh his glowing moonlike eyes.

"We got along well and we started dating."

"But I thought you and dad were together since kids?"

"Uh, no. We knew each other since babies. He was my neighbour and my senior. I had a crush on him but he was a dick back then. When Ethan entered my life, your father was in his last senior year studying and working his butt off to build this empire we sit in right now. He did warn me in the beginning which I paid no heed to because I was blinded by my foolish love towards Ethan."
