Crossing Paths

PROLOGUE

Middle school had finally ended.

My best friend and I got accepted into one of the best secondary school's in California. Fortunately, thanks to our luck, good grades and motivation we were two out of five students who got scholarships to start 10th grade at Winchester High.

"Hey Aurora, could you please sign my year book for me?" Zac asked, flirtatiously.

"Yes, of course, but only if you would kindly sign mine?" I smiled.

"deal!" he winked at me.

Zac had never spoken to me in a warming tone before, throughout my entire middle school career I had to live each day hoping he'll talk to me decently without a sarcastic remark, and it finally happened. Zac Louw finally spoke to me.

Maybe he came to his senses and realised we'll never see eachother again... I mean, now that we're going our seperate ways and I'm going to a new school, he might as well want a memory from the bizarre girl who secretly admired him for two years straight.

"here you go..." we exchanged yearbooks.

"I hope to see you in the nearby future Zac, I'll surely miss you." and without another second to waste I walked away before he could see my eyes starting to water.

ZAC'S POV.

I stared at Aurora as she swiftly walked away. She never gave me the chance to reply to what she said.

I felt incredibly bad, I ignored her for a vast amount of time because I knew she liked me.

I might never see her deep set of chocolate coloured eyes, silky black hair or her perfectly tanned olive skin, and for that... I regret.

I was a jerk, no doubt about it. She deserved so much better, someone who would treat her the way she wanted to be treated, but instead, she was too caught up chasing after me while I completely blocked her out of my life.

I knew somewhere, deepdown, I always liked her as well. I liked seeing her take my sarcastic remarks to an extent where she looked entirely broken. I liked the way she would glare at me without seeing me notice her.

She was unbelievably beautiful, extremely caring and completely and utterly out of the ordinary.

AURORA'S POV

I strolled around the school's passages for one last time before going home.

I paused, and in a blur distance I saw my best friend Izzy and I ran to her, dramatically in tears, and hugged her.

"Aurora Brown, please do enlighten me as to why you're crying if we will be seeing eachother for the rest of our schooling career" said Izzy, while giggling.

"I'm going to miss Zac so much, I know he hasn't been the nicest person to me, but i cannot contain my feelings for him. I hate the fact that he hates me for no reason!" I cried.

"I've told you once and now im telling you this again, as your best friend I have the right to say... HE DOES NOT DESERVE YOU," she emphasised,

"He's a complete waste of time. I have confronted him more times than I can count. Zac does not listen to anyone but himself, he can be a real ass at times, and by "times" I mean most of the time. But dont you worry Aurora, someday, you'll get your story book ending." she said while comforting me.

Izzy and I both continued walking around school, and so it went on, the emotional goodbyes, sloppy hugs and sightings of tear stained faces. To be honest, I really don't know when and how I became such an emotional wreck.

Ever since I reached puberty, my hormones unleashed and my emotions took over unfairly. I could not help that I cried for the pettiest things, but as everyone would say...that is one quality that makes me my unique self.

I am an emotional bundle waiting to explode.
