______________________________________

Samantha's P.O.V.

I was really pissed at the boy who just left me in this embarrassing situation . He was really an obnoxious and detestable specimen of a gentleman.

 'Chivalry has extincted for once and for all.'  I thought to myself.
Many students were giggling at my chucklesome state and giving me goofy stares  . I shrugged at my present condition and was going to stand up .

But I saw a hand in front of my eyes, offered to me to get up .

'who would help a damsel in distress like me?? No one!!' My conscience whispered ........

I traced the way towards the owner of the hand  , curiosity taking over me to know who the person was.

As I searched for the person , I found myself staring at not only  a hansome but also cute boy , about 6 feet tall. He had brunette hair which seemed  ruffled underneath his hoodie.
His eye colour was very distinct, a little bit green and a little bluish.

The boy pulled me up as if I weighed nothing . I couldn't help but stare at him, not being able to speak a word. Then I noticed his growing  smirk plastered on his face .

'Stop staring at him Samantha , regain your composure and speak!' my conscience said.

Following my conscience's order , I cleared my throat and stuttered
" T-Thanks for the help."

"Your welcome  , but a quick tip :-
'Dont stare at a boy who must seem to you as hot and handsome,  rather take a picture . It stays longer' ." he said .

My jaw dropped at his cocky reply and he started laughing like a hyena at my reaction  .

' These stupid boys and their cockiness!'  I said to myself .
I regained my composure and said
"Thank you  for your 'kind'  advice but
I don't take advices from boys, you see."

" Hmm ........ a feisty girl ,huh? By the way , what is you name ?" he asked .

"Samantha, Samantha Willows. What is your's?" I asked him .

"It's Ethan Adams , but your name seems too  familiar to me , have we met before?" he asked and   it put my mind to thinking .

At first I thought it was one of the pick-up lines which he used on me to flirt but then I asked myself.....
'Have I ever seen this boy?'
Then it all came back to me as to how I knew Ethan .

"Yes ,we have met before , at the grocery store when our mother's trolleys crashed into each other"
I said , reciting the incidents I remeber from the day when I met Ethan and his mom, Mrs. Adams.

Flashback:-

Samantha's POV.

It was the day after we had moved into our new house at Nashville . I was really happy  to stay in a new house at a tranquil city as this place was  but as well as sad to leave my old house .
However I was glad to leave behind the old memories of my home , hopping to forget them all . But the harder I tried , the more pain it gave me . A tear rolled down my cheek as the memories flashed in my mind , while I was sitting in living room. Suddenly I heard footsteps coming towards me and I lifted my head up to see who it was . It was  my mom , with a bewildered look on her face.

"Oh dear , what happened ? Why are you crying ? "she asked while sitting beside me .

"Nothing mom , it's just that being in a new house is reminding me of our old one , and all the ghastly and unpleasant  memories . I'm scared mom , scared of 'him' ." I said .

"Don't worry Sam, I won't let him hurt you again , he won't even know where we are now . I will protect you dear and not let anything happen to you ." she said .

I hugged her tightly , snuggling myself in her arms while sobbing and she said soothing things in my ears to calm me down .

"Don't worry dear and  be my brave girl as you always are,aren't you?"
she said and I chuckled .

" I know exactly what will cheer you up , Shopping!! But first let's go to the grocery market ."

"Okay mom."replied . "Okay then , get ready and we'll leave in 10 minutes.
I'm downstairs " mom said and I nodded .

I quickly got ready and my mom and I drove to the grocery store . We took a trolley and strolled down the market .

No sooner did we enter the vegetable section than my mom crashed into someone's trolley.

'Really mom?' I said.
My mom had closed her eyes, scared to look for the consequences .

" Sorry ma-- " my mom stopped speaking  and stared at the lady in front of us who must be as old as my mom and a boy , who I assume is her son.

"Marie !! " The lady in front of us exclaimed as she approached my mom for a hug.

"Rebecca!!" my mom said as she hugged  Rebecca , " It has been a long time ."    
"Yes it has ", Rebecca said.

"What the hell" Rebecca's son and I said in sync.

"We were freinds in high school and then we couldn't keep contact after that." Rebecca said , explaining .

"Yes , and high school was really the  memorable years of my life "  my mom said .

'Oohhh.....' I thought . This world is really a small world , isn't it?.

Back To Present :-

Samantha's POV :-

"Yup , I remember our mothers totally going insane about meeting each other after so many years " Ethan said

"Yah , I remeber that too ." I said ,chuckling.

"So , Ethan , I am new here and have no friends so I was guessing maybe you could give me a tour of our college sometime?" I asked , not sure whether he will agree or not .

"Of course I will b―" just then the bell rang signaling that we should be at our homeroom.

"Haha , maybe next time ."I said .

"Certainly , but what is your homeroom?"Ethan asked .

"223A ". I replied and saw the smile on his face . "Maybe you will have to stick with me longer, Samantha, since I am also heading towards the same homeroom." he said

"Glad that I won't have any strangers in my homeroom atleast ." I remarked.

"No you won't , after lunch." he said , making me turn my head into his direction .

"And why is that ?" I asked not understanding what he just said .

"Oh that ,  you are just going to meet my friends whom I suppose will be glad to meet you " He stated while opening the doors to our homeroom.

I entered the room while thinking to myself 'I hope that they like me...."
