New Love

Chapter 1

I woke up to the fresh morning breeze of the mountain range near my house. It was cold in B.C. Like nothing I had ever experienced before in Tennesse. I had nothing warm to wear, so I had plans to go shopping this weekend.

All I had that was warm enough for this weather was a leather jacket that Cole had given to me the day me and my family left. God I missed him. I thought that I would get over him, but it is hard to let go of something that has been yours for so long. I can still feel his warm breath on my neck. I can feel his hands around my waist, caresing me in love. His touch was so tender and soft.

He loved me with the same undying passion that I loved him. But I have never believed in long distance relationships, and neither did he. We both agreed to never forget each other and to try our best to move on. I didn't want to hold him back and I didn't want him holding me back from a completely new life here. I was determined to be happy.

"Hey Sage." My brother says as I walk down the stairs in my pj's.

"Hey" I reply, with a grogy tone that was not expected. I guess I was more tired than I thought.

I got some breakfast and went through my usual morning routine. Shower, dress, you know, the usual. I was so nervous for my first day at Cripston Secondary School. I felt like my heart was going to explode! But I wanted to make something of myself in this new school. I didn't want to be the shy sensitive girl that everyone in my old life new. I wanted to be bad ass. I wanted to be crazy and exciting. To live on the edge. I wanted to be the kind of person that everyone knew and would never forget even if they tried.

I dressed in black leggings and a loose blueish t-shirt crop top with the words "Forever Young" splayed across the front on top of a dark purple flower. It was shorter in the front than in the back. The front stopped near my belly button showing some of my stomach.

Not to toot my own horn but I thought personally that my stomach was my best feature. It was perfectly flat. I thought I even saw a little bit of a six pack in there once! I was pretty proud.

Anyways, on top of the shirt I wore Cole's jacket. I had brown leather boots with a 2 inch heel and I had my straight blonde hair loose and flowing. I did my make-up making sure to add eyeliner and mascara to excentuate my "beautiful eyes" as Cole used to say.

"Stop thinking about him Sage." I kept telling myself. But it was easier said than done. Everything that is in my life, everything I am reminds me of him. We even looked slightly similar, whch was creepy in a way but we looked good together according to my best friend Rebecca, but everyone we know calls her Becca. Just add her to the list of people I had to leave back in Tennesse.

As I strutted out my house to my bus stop in my brand new clothes (that I had gotten just before we moved), I felt pretty damn sexy!

"Maybe this will get me some friends. Or atleast noticed." I thought to myself. I had seen people around my age walking around in clothes like these. I assumed it was the craze around here. It was pretty nice and it was comfortable too.

As I arrived at my bus stop I heard someone walk up from behind me. I turned around hoping to make a new friend seeing as I had none up to this point. I turned around and I almost fell down! Before me stood a 17 year old boy (or close to that). He had light brown hair and the deepest blue eyes I had ever seen. He was atleast 6ft and it looked like he was built by a sculptor. He was flawless. I almost felt...

No. Don't get attached Sage. I thought to myself. You'll just end up with you heart broken again. You're not over Cole yet, your not ready to start a new relationship. Don't get involved!

"Hey, name's Noah." His voice was like silk. I tried my best not to show how in awe I was of him.

"I'm Sage." I tried to say with a bored sort of tone.

"Nice name. A sexy name for a sexy girl." Oh my God. Did he actuall just say that!?

"Umm, thanks?" I was totally blown away. Was he some sort of player? Was he trying to get inside my head, or inside my pants? I had better stay away from him.

"So you new here? If you are, I would be more than happy to show you around." Well he seemed nice enough, but walking around with him into every crevise in the school probably wasn't the best idea.

"Um, that would be nice, I guess." I didn't really want to get involved with this guy, but I wasn't going to just say 'No go the fuck away' and never speak to him again! I wasn't that rude.

"Great you can sit with me on the bus and I will walk you to your locker when we get to school. What number?" he asked.

"Umm, 133, I think."

"You don't seem to sure of yourself there babe." Babe? What game was this guy playing?

"Umm, I guess not. "First day gitters" I guess."

"You get nervous? I like a girl who gets a little nervous. Makes the chase so much more fun." I gave him a disgusted look. He must have caught on cause right after he said...

"I'm just kidding there flower. You really need to losen up. Match your personality with your clothes." Hew winked. He was right, I can't walk around being the shy girl dressed like the bad ass I wanted to be! I needed to get better at this "re-inventing myself" thing.

"Well that was a bit rude." I stated.

"So was that." He fired back.

"Well maybe someone should spank me!" I said in the snarkiest tone I could manage.

"There's some fire in those eyes! Keep that up and you might acutally survive high school." He said to me. I guess I had impressed him.

"So is that spanking offer still on the table?" Just as he said this I saw the bus pull around the corner. Thank God!

"Maybe later babe, wouldn't want to have everyone on the bus thinking we were dating now would we?" I snaped.

"Ouch." He said in a playful tone. I was getting good at this! Maybe I can fool everyone else.

He gestured me to get in the bus. What a gentleman to let me go first. As I thought this to myself I felt a slight tap on my ass.

"Then it's a good thing I didn't let anyone see that." He said. I turned around and he smiled and winked. Crap.
