Challenge

~Prolouge

"Life is a challenge.

One that many people can't handle.

In my sixteen years of living on Earth I have come to the conclusion that I can't handle it. I struggle with my emotions. I break down. I push people away, even though I feel so lonley. I blame myself for my parents death and I know my sister does too."

Stopping to catch my breath, I look up at him and move slightly closer. I stroke my fingers down his cheek one last time.

"If you still love me, Xavier, are you prepared to handle this challenge?"

Aria Winters has, what she would consider, a tough exterior to everyone she classes "a threat". She distances herself from those who attempt to get close to her, who want to break down her wall, bit by bit. She doesn't give out her trust or love very easily, and makes it a challenge for those of which who want to receive either from her.

Then you get Xavier Jones. A kind hearted soul, with a huge amount of popularity from those around him. Many enjoy his jokes and humour, which has given him the overused label: " The Class Clown". However, Xavier's peers can, at times, forget that Xavier cannot always keep up the role of being the comedic genius that they see everyday. He is a human, with emotions, who will eventually need a certain someone to rely on. And he will do anything if the end result means gaining her trust and having her in his arms.
