Tate's pov

Stepping out of the elevator from the penthouse to the lobby floor, I notice the busy lobby noise ringing in my ears. I stride to the revolving door, nodding to the doorman John.

"Good morning, Miss Clifford" he smiles, John reminded me of a grandfather I once read in a book, I wished my grandfather was like him.

"Morning John" I wave to him

I walk out out of my apartment building and look around taking in the city. The Upper East Side looked so alive today, the static sound of a city that never sleeps, the bitter wind turning my cheeks rosy pink. I look up to the top of my apartment building to where I live. The clouds made everything hazy and muted, like it was hiding the truth behind them. My daydream was interrupted by some kid on a skateboard bumping into me; the force was enough for him to trip off his board and drop both of our bags.

"Watch it!" I said picking up my bag and dusting off where he bumped into me. The poor kid scrambled to catch his board before it fell onto the bust street, the contents of his bag spilled. I look down at him; I catch a glimpse of blindingly bright blue eyes and a ring through his bottom lip. Oh great he's a slums kid. I thought to myself. Slum kids are the kids from Brooklyn, Harlem, Queens, and West Brighton, the kids that have no business being in the Upper East Side. The next thing I noticed was his blazer; it was an exact replica of my own, with the same Saint Mary's emblem on the left side. I've never seen him before in my life; nothing about him is familiar, except those gorgeous eyes.

"Uh, I'm sorry" he mumbled shoving papers into the black back-pack.

"Yeah, I know" I rolled my eyes, adjusting my bag on my shoulder.

Just as I turn around to leave I hear him murmur "Rude" under his breath.

"Excuse me? You bumped into me." I huffed.

"Is there a problem here?" a voice behind me says I smirk at the voice. It was Ashton, my longtime boyfriend. I turn around and wrap my arms around him, burying my face into his chest, playing the victim the best I could.

"Ash this kid just came up out of nowhere and ran into me with his skateboard." I said softly.

"You think it's ok the push my girlfriends around?" ash threatened.

The boy's stunning eyes widened as he stuttered to answer Ashton.

"Uh-um-well- uh" his voice sounded scared

"Well" ash was getting impatient now "I can't hear you, you like pushing girls around or not?"

Ashton steps up to him, though the other boy is a bit taller Ashton could probably beat his lanky ass to pulp in just a few seconds.

Before either of the boys could do something, some kid ran up to them standing between them. I recognized the boy, his name was Caleb or something i didn't really care, he was from my home-room in the 9th grade.

"Hey-hey! Ashton stop" he said quite out of breath from running. "He's new, he doesn't know any better just stop."

Ash's hazel eyes flicker back and forth between both boys, he grabs Caleb by the collar.

"Listen here Calum" He growled.

Oh, his name's Calum. I thought to myself

"I'll leave it just this once, but next time I'm kicking both of your asses, got it" Calum nodded, sighing in belief.

Ashton turns back to me with his perfect smile revealing his deep dimples, his eyes lit up at the sight of me. Like they did when I first kissed him in the 8th grade, like they did when he said " I love you" a year ago on New Years Eve, like they do everyday when we are together.

"Let's go, Tate. We have school in a few minutes" he reached for my hand, interlocking our fingers together while we walked to the limo that took us to school everyday. Ashton opens the door like a gentleman, gesturing me to enter the car first. Before I enter I notice a kid far behind Calum and the blond boy, with bright green hair smoking a cigarette, staring at me intensely. Chills filed down my back, making me shudder, his eyes burn into my memory, the pastel green making themselves haunt my mind. I enter the warm car, wondering why he was staring at me like that.
