He was like no one she's ever seen before. Beautiful black hair with sea green eyes. What is happening? Why is my heart pounding looking at him? This can't be happening to me, not now! She ran into a door, lost in thought, and everyone started to laugh. Even him. I hurry to class, clearly embarrassed by the incident. "Don't let the door hit ya on the way in, haha", one of the popular girls say before running off with her friends laughing. I just take my seat in the back of the room. He sits in front of me, my heart pounding. "So... did you intend to hit the door or did the door attack you?", he mocked. I didn't respond, no one ever talks to me so I never respond. "Say, what's your name? Mine is Caleb, what about you? Can you even speak?", he says. " L-Lizzie", is all I say to his remark. His eyes widen, "So you can speak! Everyone said you couldn't but I never believed them! Ha, proved them wrong", he says with personal triumph. Glad to know that everyone thought I couldn't talk, yippee. His doesn't say much for the rest of class so I took notes. This year is already a major disaster. I soon figure out it gets worse.
