          The next morning I roll out of bed, patting my old dog, Biggin on the head. "oh big bee I love you so much" I say to him before giving him a big ol kiss on the head. He turns over and goes back to sleep. I get ready for school, finish my breakfast And head out for the day. The car ride to school was quite quiet this morning. I glanced over at Bianca and she looked as if she was stuck in thought. Finally entering the school parking lot, we get out of the car and in the distance I hear someone yelling my name.
I look over to see who it could possibly be this early in the morning. That's when I see those pretty blue eyes again approaching me. "Oh hey! ummmmh?" "James. My name is James. James Todd to be formal" He says in his quite deep voice,
He opens the door for me to get out. Bianca hops out of the passenger side, waves me goodbye and meets up with her friends heading to class.
I reach for my bag "Oh let me take that for you." James says as he grabs my bag to carry. Hmmm I've never had someone offer to carry my things for me before I thought this is different, most men my age see me as one of the bros p, therefore I'm treated like such. " I wanted to apologize for how I acted yesterday morning." He goes on to say. "Oh your fine.. I mean its fine. I should have been watching where i was going haha" I giggle nervously. "No, I was just having a day yesterday and i should of introduced myself properly" " oh well I understand we all have bad days and if you promise to keep carrying my bag in for me I'll forgive you." I say smiling up at him. He has to at least be 6'2 feet tall. I feel so small standing next too him, and he's so fit.
"Wheres your class?" He asks politely knocking me out of my daze. "My First class is Mrs. Sumner, English."  "I will walk you there if thats ok with you?" he asks, waiting for my response. I nod and softly say "of course" He must of heard the way my voice changed because he smiled real big staring at me in the eyes.

    We reach my class, stop right in front of the door. He hands me my bag and tell me to "Enjoy english class" I smile and head in to find my seat. "Tiana wait" " Call me tee" I say turning back around to look at him. "Tee." He says softly. "Sit with me at lunch?" He asks before the warning bell rings. I smile and nod my head, yes. He smiles one last time "cool" he says before running off down the hallway towards his class. I watch him disappear around the corner,
"Ms Michaels? Can you please take your seat" Mrs. Sumner says pointing at my seat across the room.

When class is over, i slide my books back in my bag and head for the door, I walk out and look over and James is posted on the lockers waiting for me. What is up with this guy? Just yesterday he couldn't get away from me fast enough and now today.. He finally pushed off the locker and heads my way. "Hey. How was class?" He asked "oh you know. Class is class." I say shrugging my shoulders. " I would much rather be doing something I actually enjoy" " and what might that be? He says not losing eye contact. " well I love to do things at home, quite a homebody really. I love to watch movies, play video games, read-
"What are you currently reading? He asked intrigued. " I just finished Wolf Bride" I said shaking my head a little embarrassed.
"You like that Fantasy books?" He asked surprised."Oh yeah, supernatural books are so exciting." I laugh. "Why do you sound so surprised?" I asked curiously. "I don't know, I just didn't think anyone was into that stuff anymore" He said looking deeply into my eyes.
Thats where he is wrong ever since Twilight, True Blood, Wolf Bride came out every girl would go crazy to even go near a super natural. I like the idea of it,  I'd drop my panties in a second for Taylor Lautner.
"Let me take you somewhere after school." He says while never losing eye contact.
"I have to drop my sisters off at home"
"Thats ok, Ill pick you up. Lets say around 4:00?"
"Okay? Where exactly are we going?" I said curiously.
"You'll just have to wait and see" He says smiling before finally walking away towards his Red 2022 Mustang and driving off.

The end of the day comes, James pulls up to my house, I come out and hop into his passenger seat, I decided on a yellow sundress for the evening with my hair half up and half down. "You look absolutely stunning, Tiana" he says looking me up and down."Thank you." I say felling my face turn as red as a rose. "You ready?" He asks while putting his hands down on the steering wheel. I nod with a smile as he takes off down the road.
We've been in the car for a little over 30 min now and I'm dozing off, Trying to keep myself awake when I hear him laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" I look up at him
"You. Why are you fighting sleep?"
"Because its rude to fall asleep on someone"
"Well we're almost there so hang on a little longer." he smiles.

We arrive at a modern beach house, all white exterior maybe 2 stories high, very nice and beautifully decorated. We step out of his car and I look around "What are we doing here?" I finally ask.
"This is home." He says extending his arms and turning towards the house. "Of course it is" I mumble to myself, before rolling my eyes. I shut the car door behind me and walk over towards him "So why did you bring me here?"
