Chapter 1

That's Andrea Carson. A beauty isn't she.

As usual, I woke up to the sound of my best friend's singing in the shower. She was singing Bad Romance by Lady Gaga and can I say she was killing it. Felicity had an amazing voice. Not only was she an amazing singer but she was a dancer, a smarty pants, an athlete and drop-dead gorgeous. She had it all.

Felicity soon came out of the shower, her brown hair dripping but somehow still managing to look amazing. Perfectly perfect girl. While Felicity was a brunette Goddess, I was more of a blonde Queen. I had blonde hair, an amazing voice, straight A's and a passion for basketball. Felicity and I were similar in different ways.

"Morning Queen B," said Felicity with her signature grin. She knew I hated beeing called that.

"Hey sunshine," I replied with a smirk. I stood up to give her a hug.

I loved Felicity, she was my best friend. We were like Kendall and Gigi; two inseparable girls, one blonde and the other brunette. Both models facing the world and living the rich yet humble life.

"You should hurry up and get dressed, we're going to be late for school Ann," said the always practical Felicity. I smiled back in reply and hurried to the bathroom. I wouldn't want to be late for the first day of my third year at University of Chicago.

"Wow, this place has changed a lot," said Felicity as we entered the dance studio at UC. We arrived ten minutes early and decided to go check out the dance studio. How we missed this part of uni.

The studio had changed a lot though. The walls of the studio were now painted beige and all of the costumes and dance equipment were now at the right corner of the room.

As soon as my sneakers reached the middle of the dance floor, I began dancing to a hip hop routine that Felicity and I composed last year for the university's national competition. We came in second place and so I became very attached to this particular routine.

The minute that Felicity recognised the dance I was doing, she joined in. And then out of nowhere, we heard the song for this choreography playing from a loud speaker across the room. The music was coming from Laurel's beats pill. She smiled at us and watched us dancing. Soon enough, about fifty students were in the studio watching our dance. When the dance finally ended, a loud roar of applauses spread across the room.

"I had almost forgotten how good it felt to perform in front of a crowd," I said laughing breathlessly. Felicity laughed in reply. Then, I quickly moved to check my phone.

"Oh my God, we only have two minutes to run to our lockers, keep our stuff, check the notice boards and make it to class on time!" I screamed causing everyone in the room to scatter. We quickly got up and started sprinting. Luckily, I did basket ball and Felicity did volley ball so we were both physically fit and fast runners.

As if by luck, I managed to do everything I was supposed to do and I still had a minute to go to class. My first lesson was chemistry, which I loved, so I sped up. On my way there I literally ran into someone and both my bag and me went flying on the floor.

"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry," I said blushing. I quickly glanced at the person I had just ran into and I almost stopped breathing. He was the hottest guy I had ever laid my eyes upon. Dark brown hair with matching eyes, pink lips, a chiseled chin and perfect structure. I was amazed at the beauty standing before me, but I managed to pull myself together, stand up, pick up my bag and run to class.

"I really hope that I see you again, even if I don't know who you are," I murmured.

"OK class, before we start the lesson there is a new student that I would like to introduce you all to. Could you please stand up," said Mrs. Gladys. We all stood up and waited to see the new student walk through the door. I, once again, was at a loss of words to see who it was. The new student was none other than Mr. tall, dark and handsome from outside a few minutes ago.
