The Unlikely Event of Falling in Love

Lockers

*beep* *beep* *beep*

Summers come to an end and its time for the first day of my senior year of high school.

It takes everything I have to get out of bed and turn off the alarm. Fortunately for me, I never sleep through alarms. It didn't hit me till I was sitting at the table eating breakfast that I'm going into school single. Claudia was with James, Olivia was with Tyler and Penelope was with Matt. I was always that third wheel but in this case the 7th wheel. I mean yeah there will be new kids but no one is gonna take a second look at me. Claire Wilson the loner cat lady who actually hated cats. I mean not all cats are related to satan but I've had really bad experiences...anyways that's beside the point. I probably would have kept day dreaming about my loser life if it wasn't for my stupid brother Luke throwing his totally annoying basketball right in front of me. "Come on Claire the bus is here," Luke says. Scrambling everything into my backpack I rush out the door and hop on the bus. Let's see what this year has in store.

"Here you go Ms. Wilson your locker is 46C" says Mrs. Kelly our activities coordinator. "Thanks, Mrs. Kelly!" I said with the most sincere smile possible. As I made my way down to my locker I was swarmed by a group of familiar faces. I totally forgot after a long summer away I would be reunited with my best friends. After hugging it out and telling our summer stories I went my own way and finally made it to my locker. I put all my folders and notebooks I didn't need that morning into my locker and shut the door and gasped at what was standing beside me. Probably the most beautiful and muscular guy was standing beside me. Thank god he didn't notice my jaw hanging open drooling over him. I quickly got myself together and started to walk away because I knew I would never have a chance with that gorgeous soul. To my surprise, I heard a voice, a very attractive voice. It was heavy but not too deep it also had a very comforting sound as if I felt safe when he spoke. I slowly turned around and walked back to my locker. "Hi I'm Ethan I'm new around here and need some help getting from place to place and sense were gonna be seeing a lot of each other I thought I would ask you." This guy is actually talking to me. Luckily I'm not one of those totally in love can't talk when in shock... the mesmerized type of girls. "Hey my name is Claire and I would love to help...locker buddy." Yep, I just said that those words really came out of my mouth. You really know how to attract guys Claire, really smooth. I thought I had lost my chance with this perfect guy but he actually laughed and gave me one of those cute smiles.
