The Only Exception (Kathniel)

Prologue

 My name is Kathryn Chavez, 19 years old. People always ask me why am I so serious in life, I would always say "Because I don't want my life to go to waste. I wanna reach the top of my game, I wanna be successful". They often laugh at me because of it but I know I can't blame them, I'm 19 for God's sake. 

 Today's the last day of summer which means there's school tomorrow. I was helping my Mom clean the front yard when a huge RV Van pulled over at the vacant house in front of us. "Finally" I thought to myself, it's about time someone live in that place. There's been rumors about that house being haunted, to be honest I'm a bit scared ... I've never been a fan of ghosts. 

 "Kath! Hurry Up! Breakfast is ready!" Mom yelled. 

 "I'm coming!" I replied and then started gathering the weeds I pulled out from the ground. "Miss?" I turned around and saw a woman in her mid 40's smiling at me. "Hi" I said and then smiled at her. "I'm Marina Zaragosa, that's my husband Greg" she said and then pointed at the man carrying a few boxes. 

 "Then there's my handsome son, Daniel. You two will look good together"

 My heart skipped a beat, 'what the hell are you saying?" I thought to myself while giving her a weird look. "I'm just kidding" she then uttered and I smiled. This lady is a comedian, and she thought she's funny. 

 "My name is Kathryn Chaves" I said and then she gave me a peck on the cheeks. Mrs. Zaragosa then said her closing greetings and walked back to her family. "Weird" I thought to myself and continued on cleaning up. 

 "Hey" 

 I turned around quickly and saw a fine looking young man, he probably is Daniel. "I'm sorry for my Mom. She can get a bit 'too friendly'" he said and then smiled. 

 "I can see that" I replied sarcastically and then turned my back on him. This boy is attractive, but I already promised myself not to fall in love or even get distracted by something that can result into love. 

 "No need to be rude. We're gonna be neighbors. We have to get along"

 "Oh, so you're now my responsibility?" I asked him and he backed off, probably afraid by now. "No" he said and then just shrugged the whole idea off. 

 "My name is Daniel" he then added and held out his hand, opting for me to shake it. 

 "I'm Kathryn , and I don't shake stranger's hands" I told him and then he smiled.

 "Feisty, I like that"

 "I don't care"

 "Daniel! Hurry up!" It's his Dad yelling. "I have to go" he then told me. "Just like I said, I don't care" I replied. He just shook his head from side to side and then started to walk back to his family. I can tell by now, he's gonna be a pain in the ass.
