|Prologue|

Are you crying because of me?

You should always brightly smile, why are you crying?

Forget me, brush me off and leave in peace

Janus ~ Boyfriend

The first day of school is like the first step you take as a baby, you're scared that you may fall down and get hurt, the first time you have to do a test, the nervousness that you feel while writing it, the first time you cheat, the anxiety you feel if you get caught. First days are always full of anxiety, fear and uneasiness. You know you have had so many first days yet the same emotions always remain. It's not because you make them appear, these emotions are totally involuntary just like the beating of your heart.

Sad thing is that you can't be rescued or be freed from these emotions, they are there night and day as your heart continues beating. See although some people don't feel this prominent fear, this nervousness that causes my fingers to shake and my cheeks to turn red, I sure do. First days of school are never my thing no matter how many I have had. First days are never relaxing for me, they are torturous, long and panicky. See I thought I could get over this fear but time and time again something always goes wrong on the first day of school. See last year I thought it would be perfect for the first day of school, but since I have such bad luck things didn't go as planned.

I willed my feet to move faster against the puddles on the ground left from the rain over night. I could almost see the school down from here, I was only five minutes away yet the bell rang five minutes ago. I had a feeling that Mary might pull a stunt like this, changing the time of my alarm so I wake up late and end up being late. Yet like always she won while I rushed to get ready in the morning and still managed to be late to school.

I was approaching my first class of the day, Biology with Mr. Chandler when I bumped into this wall near the staircase, but there never was a wall there to begin with and when my butt hit the floor and I cringed on the contact, that's when I realized I fell on the floor. While standing up I looked past my hazel bangs to the stranger standing in front of me, and realized who it was.

"I didn't-I really just-Sorry" I blurted out as I stood there looking down at the tiles on the floor noticing the newly thrown gum on the ground.

"Better not do it next time." He spat as he glared at me with his ocean blue eyes.

"I-I" I stuttered

"I-I what? Spit it out already!" He said as he took a step closer to me. His jet black hair fell down in his eyes and I just wanted to reac-I shut my eyes to calm my thoughts and forced them to stare anywhere but his eyes.

Taking a step back I said, "I won't."

"You won't what?" He said as he took another menacing step towards me. There was only two inches of space between us now and that was enough to send my heart on a frenzy.

"I wo-won't bump into you again." I took another step back and willed my heart rate to return to normal.

"You better not, munchkin." Another step forward from him and one back from me and here I was against the wall now. I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks.

He pulled his right hand out of denim jeans pocket and put it against the wall next to my face as he leaned closer. My heart beat increased instantly and my breathing was erratic and I pressed my back further against the wall.

Putting his left hand in his leather jacket pocket he pulled out a bottle of beer and gulped it down while his blue eyes fixated on my green ones.

Leaning his face closer to mine, his lips touched the base of my ear and whispered,

"You don't know what will happen the next time you do." He pulled his head back and walked down the hallway only to turn around five seconds later-I know because I was trying to control my heart- to smirk right at me and said "Until Next time Munchkin."

And that is the reason why I am so scared on the first day of school. I'm afraid that I won't wake up on time and end up seeing the devil that loves to call me munchkin every time he sees me, which wasn't very often, -I fear him, I fear James Scott.
