Juniper x Ace

Ch. 1 A fuerza, ni los zapatos entran.

First day of school, just right around the corner. I don't know if this year is going to be los peores años de mi vida. Nor if it's going the be the years that I am going to find mi amante, all I knew is that I couldn't find love even if I tried. I lay in bed thinking about what my high school years will come to, whether if it's going the be hell of my life or if it's going to be some of the greatest years. I almost close my eyes as my head lies on the worn out blanket that has stuck with me ever since I was a puppy. My last and final seconds of being awake, I think to myself, I hope I find someone, someone to hug when there's no one else to go to. Finally, goodnight the wonderful bright stars that watch over us during our sleep.

Morning time, I'm awake? What a great achievement, I thought I'd die before I opened my eyelids. I yawn and stretch my not-so-muscular legs and my paws. I get up and take a nice shower. As always, the water is not so warm as my mothers chest, but I'm used to it. When I finished, I put on an average outfit and put my backpack on. As I get out to walk to school, I groom my hair and give my abuela a morning kiss on the cheek before I head to school, I smile and go.

First step into the premises and I already regret it, who the hell are these people? They all seem like serpientes to me, pretty suspicious. As I look around, this handsome guy walks by. He's so..... handsome, watching the leaves fall, smelling his strong cologne, his glossy hair, his shiny glistening brown eyes...... he's perfect. I freeze as I stare at him, not only do people push me, but he notices that I'm staring at him. Dammit! Seconds in the school and I already mess up. I awkwardly smile and so does he with a small wave. My ears fold backwards, I'm a little shy when it comes to awkward situations like this. As I stand there like a doofus, some jerk comes by and pushes me to the ground. That guy that was giving me dreamy vibes then rushes over. 

"You okay?" he asks. His voice is so silky and nice. He lends his paw and helps me up. 

"Thanks, I guess." I say, and like an idiot, I blush as red as a red pepper. He grins and punches my arm. "Alright man, I have to get to class." He says. I snap out of space mode and quickly say, "Huh." But before I could take another glance at his wonderful face, he was already gone. Next thing you know, I find myself in a boring class.

After class, I stand in the middle of the hallway. I look around with my sharp eyes, until someone bumps into me and the both of us fall together on the cold floor. The person that fell on me was that kid from earlier, he was on the side of his face on my stomach. When I noticed who it was, I blush immediately hard and bright red. 

"What.... what the hell???" I exclaimed. He then looks up at me and he blushes a bit back. 

"Oh shit, my bad." He says as he gets up. I blush even harder. 

"I--I-It's fine......" I mummer. He reaches out his paw, I grab it and he pulls me up. Suddenly, a flash was followed. The both of us being curious looked in the direction of where the flash came from. It was a midget Golden Retriever girl, with her camera in her paws. The guy that landed on me squinted his eyes and his ears fold backwards. 

"A-anyways, my name is Ace, Ace Allez." He says as he glares at me. 

"Juniper Juarez, and wow, you have such a wonderful name, Ace." I say back. 

"Thanks, I like yours too." He uttered. My stomach filled with butterflies, it felt so nice and happy all at the same time. Having a friend like him, it was the best feeling, for once I don't feel as depressed and the world became brighter. Just a brief second went by and snap, I was out of the zone. I felt so jittery and happy, I didn't know where I was. But the question is, is this true love at first glance? If not, what is it?
