~ Chapter 1: Bad Boy is back ~

"I think--I think when it's all over,
It just comes back in flashes, you know?
It's like a kaleidoscope of memories.
It just all comes back. But he never does.
I think part of me knew the second I saw him that this would happen.
It's not really anything he said or anything he did,
It was the feeling that came along with it.
And the crazy thing is I don't know if I'm ever gonna feel that way again.
But I don't know if I should.
I knew his world moved too fast and burned too bright.
But I just thought, how can the devil be pulling you toward someone who looks so much like an angel when he smiles at you?
Maybe he knew that when he saw me.
I guess I just lost my balance.
I think that the worst part of it all wasn't losing him.
It was losing me."

I never liked him.

He never liked me.

All I wanted to do was avoid him for the school year when he came back from jail.

I just remember that night at that party where he started a brutal fight and almost ended up killing someone with only his fists.

The thing is - he only went to jail for 10 months.

For almost killing someone.

With his bare fists.

But god- he looks so much like an angel when he looks at you.

He walked down the halls, almost everyone staring at him.

People move away to fear that he's still dangerous.

He looks over at me, his eyes locking with mine. I felt a pit of butterflies flutter in my stomach.

It felt like I've looked in his eyes forever.

But it's only been a split second before we both looked away.

I blinked twice and the bell rang. Everybody snaps out of their thoughts and goes back to class.
