AMBER POV

Memories ....... this word arouses different feelings in different people. While it arouses feeling of happiness , joy , regret in many people .... it arouses the feeling of betrayal and sorrow in me . Time is like a sped arrow , it can not be brought back but sometimes we wish it wouldn't . While I hold the last piece of my past, a silent tear slips down my cheek . Some things are meant to be-left behind and - for us to move on. I tear the photograph in my hand , and decide to move on towards my present .

As I get up from my seat the announcement from the overhead speakers announces my flight's departure .

IN THE FLIGHT

I'm really look forward for the Richmond boarding school. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps!!!!! A whole year away from everyone and everything , this is going to be interesting . Hmm... Seat no. 1F .

As I was reaching my seat ,I cross my fingers and hope " please let it be the window seat , please , please ... Oh shucks !!! I didn't get it " you must be thinking I am crazy because I am taking to myself, well that's how I roll and plus we are not all here to judge.

Either way I sat at the window seat hoping the person would be generous enough to let me sit at their seat .

RYAN'S POV

As I wait in the air port lobby for my flight's announcement I think about the amazing holidays I spent with my family whom I was meeting after almost one whole year . The only down part to the holidays was that Max couldn't come over to our place and hang out .

It has been almost 4 whole weeks in which I hadn't toyed with a girls feelings ... Hey !! Trying to sneak out under your overly suspicious mother's nose can be very difficult .

Speaking of girls there is a very cute girl around my age ( which is 17 by the way) sitting in front of me . There was something different about this girl.... good thing that she wasn't looking at me coz I was literally staring at her . I swear if she looks up any moment she would think I was some crack guy who looks like a gaping ape.

But she didn't look up so I utilized this time to study all her features. She had a petite frame which seemed tiny in front of me ( I am 6 feet ) she has nicely sculpted cheek bones , long jet black hair which was wavy and fell perfectly without her trying and fair peachy skin tone with pink cheeks . I am pretty sure she didn't wear any make up coz u know I know a lot a girls. All in all she was beautiful wait.... wait did I say beautiful ??? I don't remember using the word "beautiful" to describe a girl before! It was always either hot or sexy or something along those lines but never even close to beautiful.

Shaking that thought out of my head is when I noticed her most striking feature n those were her eyes ... They were different than any eyes I have ever seen and they have seemed to engulf me in some kind of trance even though she wasn't look at me . They were a mixture if grey, white and blue colors. She was looking at something in her lap which seemed like a photograph and was ... Sobbing ???

I took out my phone to play temple run ( hey!!! I'm getting bored) and saw two messages from my best buddy Max saying that he had already reached school. When the gate was open I started moving towards my flight , I turned around to take one last glance at that girl but she was nowhere in sight !! So I kept moving.

I was hoping that once I am inside the plane I won't get stuck beside, or, in front of some bozo . Last time there was a kid who kept kicking at the back of my seat even though we I was in business class. Trust me when I say that this kicking thing gets really annoying when you are trying to get some sleep .

NO BOZO ....NO BOZO ..... NO BOZO ... I chanted in my head as I walked towards my seat . I finally reached my seat 1E and gave a sigh of relief there were NO BOZOS but there was a girl sitting in my seat I couldn't see her face as it was turned towards the window but I assumed it was the girl with the photo by her jet black hair !

"Excuse me, I think you have mistaken or something because you are sitting in my seat ". I said.

The girl turned around and her bluish grey eyes met my hazel nut colored eyes and we seemed to be staring at each other like that for almost two minutes. Her eyes.... They were beautiful and held so many emotions and disturbing secrets in them.

AMBER POV

"Excuse me, I think you are mistaken or something because you are sitting in my seat." Said a voice behind me which startled me because the person was really close behind me.

As I turned around I was met with the most chocolaty, hazel nut, brown eyes I have ever seen. And they were so beautiful.

I could stare at them whole day long and it would feel as if I was staring at them for a few seconds.

After what seemed to be about two minutes in the real world though it felt like seconds in my fantasy world, I snapped out of trance and noticed the guy smirking.

"See something you love?" Chocolaty eyes smirked and asked me.

Hmm.... conceited jerk much!!

All I felt to do in that exact moment was to wipe that stupid smirk off that idiot's face.

Though, come to think of it he doesn't look that bad with that smirk on, it actually looked really really good on him.... OH MY GOD!!.... what and all was I thinking.

Shaking out from my thoughts I knew a blush was creeping up my face for thinking about those stuff, embarrassed, I ignored his question and said "No I have not made any mistake, my seat is the one beside yours but I really want to sit at the window seat, so I was wondering whether you would sit in my seat instead??"

While he thought about it I stared outside the window looking at my city for one last time, who knows when I will be coming back here.

I turn back to the guy and caught him staring at me shocked at something. Awkwardly, I waited for his reply.

"Fine you can sit in my place." He said

"Thanks." I said and sat down.

Well let me tell you something about me, before deciding to come to this boarding school, I was really insecure and there were a LOT of problems going on in my life and I couldn't cope up with them anymore. What those problems were is a story for another time but it had changed me. I wasn't insecure anymore and I got a lot of self confidence with the help of my brother.

Let's just say that I became a tough, sarcastic, sometimes annoying and what you can call a goodie two shoes kinda girl ( nothing can stop me from a being a goodie two shoes).

RYAN POV

While I pretended to think I knew she would probably be checking me out just like any other girl would. But when I turned around, to say that I was surprised was an understatement. She wasn't looking at me at all, in fact she was staring outside of the window. I was shocked that some girl gave up a chance to check me out to stare at some trees. I quickly covered up my shocked face with a cool expression and agreed to give her my seat while I sat on her seat. I watched her amused as she jumped up and down and then composed herself and sat down at her seat.
