Our Love Story

Chapter 1

I hate waking up in the morning cause it an go one of two ways. I get up to my alarm and get to school on time, or I keep hitting the snooze button. Until it shuts off. And I don't wake up until ten minutes before school starts. Luckily this morning I got up on time.
~•~•~
I took a shower and got dressed, went downstairs and ate breakfast. After saying goodbye to my mom and dad, I made my way outside and onto the school bus. Finding a seat in the back of the bus. I put in my ear buds and look out the window.

I felt the bus stop and starts going again. The spot beside me dipped down, meaning someone sat beside me.
I looked over to see a boy around my age just staring at me. Even though I caught him staring at me, he still continued to do it.
I silently prayed that my bus driver would drive faster.
~•~•~

Making my way through the sea of my fellow high school students, I finally make it to my locker.

Opening my locker and grabbing the textbook I need for first period, I see my two best friends approach me.

My two best friends are Lily Waters and Conner Tate.
We have been best friends since we were little.
Lilly is a spunky red-head with green eyes. She is very tall and attracts all the boys attention.

My other best friend Conner, is also I very tall. He's an athlete so he is pretty built. He has light almost platinum blonde hair and bright blue eyes.

"Good morning CareBear" Lilly greets me.
I groan at the stupid nickname. My name is Carter, but she insists on calling me that terrible name. And Conner calls me C.
I don't know where they come up with these names.

"Hi guys" I mumble.

"What's wrong with you?" Conner questions.

"Just really tired is all." I answer, while turning around to face them.

"You're always tired. You're like a bear that never stops hibernating." Lily states.
I narrow my eyes at her, while Conner just chuckles.

The bell rang signaling school has started.
Lilly, and I make our way to government/economics class, which we have first, while Conner however has English first.

As I make my way into the class, I sit in my normal seat in the back of the class, by the window.
My teacher Mr. Rackley starts his lesson, while I just zone off staring out the window.
~•~•~

The bell rings signaling to go to lunch.
I walk down the hallway slowly making my way to the cafeteria.
I go in the lunch line and grab what ever looks edible.

Sitting down at my usual lunch table, I greet both Lilly and Conner who are both already eating.

"Dude you're not going to believe it!" She exclaims.
Rolling my eyes at her over dramatic tone, I question what she is talking about.

"What will I not believe?" I ask mimicking the over dramatic tone she used.

Now it's her turn to roll her eyes.

"This insanely hot guy just arrived here today and it's all anyone can talk about" She explains to me.

"Have you seen him around school?" I ask.

"No but Cathy Larson took a photo of him and showed it to me in third period. She exclaims.

I choke on the water I was just drinking. "Wow stalker much" I mumble.

"A little, but can you blame her for it. He's the hottest guy in this school." She replies.

"Hey!" Conner says, looking a little hurt, because Lilly just basically insulted him.
I chuckle at that. The rest of the lunch we just talked about random things.

The bell rang signaling the beginning of 6th period.

I arrive to my 6th period class, which is art. Art is my favorite class, because I can express who I am through my art and it's my get away from every day life.

Making my way into class I greet my art teacher, Mrs. Hudson, and make my way over to my table setting my stuff down.

Getting my painting that is in the process of being finished, I also grab the supplies I will need.

I hear the seat next to me scrap against the floor. Meaning someone is now sitting beside me.

But I was too engrossed in my painting to even look up and see who it was. Trying to ignore the existence of the person beside me I continue to paint.
It worked until they tried talking talking to me.

"Hey I am Grayson." He says.

"Yeah hi." I mumble trying to concentrate.

"Someone's not a big talker." He stays with a chuckle.

"Well obviously you can't see that I'm trying to concentrate and paint." I reply in an annoyed tone.

I look up after I said that to see the hottest boy I've ever seen. Just staring at me with amusement.

I sat there in shock for a few more seconds before switching my facial expression to one without emotion.

"Is there a reason why you're sitting here?" I ask with a questioning tone.

"You're the only girl that didn't look up and stop what there doing to stare at me." He replies.

"Ok well you are more than welcome to go sit over there. By the girl who looks like she's about to start finger painting the table." I say, while pointing at the girl sitting behind us.

He looks at the girl and grimaces.

"Yeah, I rather not, besides how am I suppose to get to know you if I am sitting over there." He says with a smile.

"Look if you intend on being popular at this school then you might want to find someone else to get to know. Because hanging around me will just lower your social status. Plus you and I hanging out will only cause unwanted problems for the both of us. I just want to stay under the radar this year. So just do us Both a favor, and "get to know" someone else please." I say releasing a breath.

It's true though I am not popular like Lilly and Conner are. They are social butterfly's while I on the other hand am not. And I just want to stay under the social radar this year. And becoming friends with this beautiful specimen beside me would bring everything I was trying to avoid, right to me.

He starred at me with an unreadable expression on his face. I started to feel uncomfortable under his intense gaze.
Then he smiled.

"I think we will be great friends." He replies.
I sit there with a dumbfounded expression on my face.

"Did you not just hear a word I said!" I ask with an annoyed tone.

"Oh I did, I just don't care." He says with a smirk.

Does this idiot not know these effects me too.

"Whatever" I mumble.
~•~•~

The bell rang signaling the end of the day.
Finally I can go home and snuggle up in my comforter, while watching Netflix.

I got on the bus and hoped no one would sit with me this time. That incident on here this morning was creepy enough.

Luckily no one did. Putting my headphones in, the song sober by Selena Gomez started playing. So I just silently listen to the song while look out the window.
~•~•~

I was walking off the bus when my favorite song comes on, Closer by the Chainsmokers.

Walking toward my house, I started to dance and sing. I didn't care who was watching. I took dance when I was younger so I am a pretty good dancer, but singing is another story.

My house came into view and I saw a moving truck in the driveway of the house beside mine.

Still dancing I made my way to my house. Stopping in the yard to do some dance moves.

"Nice dance moves". I freeze when I hear the voice. It was the one and only new guy, Grayson. Who was staring at me with amusement.

Crap...
