Luca's POV

"How was school, Luca?" Esme smiles at me as she places a plate of leftover spaghetti in front of me.

"It was good. My teachers were pretty great compared to my old ones. I think it helps that they know I live with you and Carlisle." I shrug as I dig into my spaghetti. "Thank you by the way,  I'm starving." I mutter between bites of food.

"That is wonderful, Luca." Esme says as she cleans the counters. "And your welcome."

I smile before stuffing my mouth full of spaghetti again. "Would it be alright if I go for a walk? I have a some homework to do. But it shouldn't take to  long so I was going to go for a walk?" I lick some sauce off my lips.

Esme stops wiping the counter. She looks up at me with her ember eyes. I swear the Cullens' all have the same liquid gold eyes most of the time, sometimes they were pitch black. Renesmee is the only one to have big brown doe eyes. "Of course, Luca. A walk would give you the chance to get know the neighborhood." Esme smiles at me then continues the counter before going over to the sink.

I finish up the spaghetti within a few more bites. "Thanks again, Esme. It was delicious." I stand up, going over to the sink. Before Esme could grab my dishes,  I wash my dish out  and wash my fork off and put them onto the drainer to dry. "I shall be back." I wave to Esme before I walk down the hall.

I open the front door. The sun is trying to shine brightly up in the sky, even with the clouds covering it up as I walk down the driveway.  Thinking over my first day of school. It was like any other school day. But something was definitely different this morning with that guy named Seth.

I had just been assigned and shown to my locker when a tanned guy practically ran like a frantic horse down the hall. I watched as he stops at a locker almost across from me. I turn back to my own locker and start putting what little things I had with me into my locker, I shut it as the second bell rang out. I keep two notebooks and the student handbook out for my first few classes.

I turn around at the sound of a groan. The guy from earlier was obviously late and as I look over at him. Our eyes meet and suddenly I couldn't move. I feel as if he is  keeping me there with his gaze. Butterflies erupts in my stomach as my cheeks heats up with the intense staring contest that I somehow managed to get myself into.

The guy drops his bookbag and falls to his knees. His dark brown eyes never leaving me. I don't realize that I'm walking toward him until I'm bent down in front of him. I reach out, touching his shoulder. He is wearing a tank top so my hand is touching his bare shoulder, which is burning up.

"Are you alright?" I ask nervously. Bringing my bottom lip between my teeth. My lips feel chapped and to the point of bleeding.

He looks up at me, blinking a few times. Then nods his head over and over. "Umm....Yea.. I think so." His voice comes out stuttered. I pull my hand away to avoid awkwardness. He sure was handsome. His hair is not really short, just long enough to pull as you kiss him. And at that random thought, my cheeks heat up. I look at him and see a red tint to his tanned skin. "What's.." He breathing rather hard. "What's your name?"  Our eyes meet again.

"I'm Lucas Brandon. But I go by Luca. You?" I say as I watch him hold out his hand and hesitantly shake his hand.

"Seth, Seth Clearwater."  He says. I barely hear him because as soon as our hands touched, electricity shot through my hand and heated up my whole body. I felt the need to stay there with him. I felt like I needed  him. And yet I didn't know why.
