"From the moment I saw her, I knew I wanted to get to know her better. It was something about the way she spoke and the expression her eyes held which drew me closer to her."

September 13th, 2012 (Same day)
"Hey, I'm Camila" she whispers her name in a beautiful soft voice and I find myself smiling. Camila. Something about her name seems familiar, I think. I ignore the thoughts and try to concentrate on Ms. Matthews as she calls out the registration. The sophomore year students have English first right after homeroom. Just as Ms. Matthews finishes calling out the registration, I fling my backpack over my shoulders. I head out of the room to the hallways towards the English classroom and I sneak a glance behind me at Camila chatting to her friend. I want the chance to get to know her.
I feel a light tap on my shoulders as I was about to step in to the English class. I turn around and see Camila biting on her plump pink lips as a look of nervousness forms on her face.
"Hey! Umm, I was wondering if you'd like to sit with me in English?" she asks and I smirk. She blushes and looks down at her fingers. "It's fine if you don't want to. I mean since it is your first day, I thought..." her voice trails off as she blushes. I smile and nod at her.
"Yes that would be cool" I say. I let her walk in front of me and sit down on the seat next to hers. I can tell that she is a bit tensed since she is fiddling with the charms on her bracelet. Must be a hold habit, I think. I wonder if she will ever tell me why she gets tensed.
She looks at my direction with eyes as sincere as she flashes me a big smile, the kind that reaches her eyes. I can't think of anything else but her right now. Her smile makes my heart feel warm and sparks this kind of unfamiliar feeling inside me. My brain rushes back and forth as she smiles at me. What is happening to me?
"You have a beautiful smile." I admit. Her cheeks turn rosy and I smile. I'm affecting her as much as she is affecting me.

He smiles widely and flashes his dimples at me. I feel my chest flutter and my stomach tightening at the sight and turn around, thinking how wrong it is. It has been four months only since Ethan passed away. I shake my head, clearing the thoughts. Anyways, I just met him but I can't believe how much he can affect me.
"Are you okay?" Shawn asks. I was lost in my thoughts that I don't remember myself catching my breath. I exhale smoothly and turn to give Shawn a reassuring smile. His face filled with a look of concern and worry.
"Yes, I am good." I say. He still seems unsure but he lets go, probably realizing it's not his business.
Mr. Cole introduces our first unit to us which is Poetry. A few groans come from across the room.
"I know it's not the best subject ever but it is in the syllabus so bear with me." Mr. Cole says. To be honest, I don't really mind poetry. I try to pay full attention to Mr. Cole's lesson but somehow I always find myself sneaking glances at Shawn.
He is a nice guy so far. His face looked really sincere when he asked is I was okay. The look on his face and the way he asked really sounded like he genuinely cared. Most of the guys I met gave me disgusted looks even if i never saw them before. I guess that is the good thing about Shawn, he does not do it.
I offered him to sit with me, Sky and the boys at lunch but he denied. I won't deny, I did feel a bit bad because I really wanted to get to know him better.
"We can hang out some time after school if you want." He offers. It's not a bad idea but I have therapy again so I might not have the time.
"That doesn't sound bad but I actually have something I need to get done" I say, not revealing anything about my therapy session. He seems to understand and nods.
"Maybe then tomorrow" he says. I smile widely and nod.
"That would be great." I say. He smiles attractively revealing his dimples and walks away. I find myself smiling to myself as I walk towards the cafeteria, his smile is contagious.

I walk away quickly before my expression changes. I pace to the boys bathroom and pick up my vibrating phone. No one but him would call me at this time. I answer the phone without even checking the caller ID and grit my teeth.
"Good Morning, son. I need you to buy some food on the way home and remember what I told you earlier about befriending that girl." I grit my teeth harder.
"Okay." I nearly hiss. I hate this man I call my father with passion. I hate him more than anything else in this world.
I shake my head furiously at his words Remember what I you earlier about befriending that girl.
Camila.
