Chapter one.
------------------

He's so quiet.

Sometimes I imagine he's just a ghost sitting in a room full of living people.

Just observing-watching.

I get he's antisocial n all, but jeez crack a smile or somethin. I mean we've been in this class for a month already... I haven't heard him make one sound even when the class had to do some "ice breakers" in order to meet one another. Not one peep.

What intrigued me so much was that he was different from the college boys here. All of them talk about the latest girl to snag and get in bed with. But he's too quiet and too hot. Did I just admit that? Well, I'm not going to lie. Every girl is googly eyes around him, even me.His dark eyes that almost look black were so alluring. I can stare at them forever. He had the most defined jaw that I want to brush with my hand. His hair-

I mentally slap my self. What is wrong with me?

This guy hasn't even spoken a word and I can't even say a simple hi and I'm thinking about touching his jaw. What has my life come down to? I'm supposed to keep my head screwed straight not thinking about some boy.

"Ms. Cortez?" A voice says interrupting my day dream.

I snap my head up and I'm faced with my English professor who looks at me waiting for a response. Clearing my throat I try remember what he was talking about, but nothing came to mind. Sighing I curse Alejandro and his good looks. "I'm sorry I totally zoned out. Can you repeat the question."

A serious of chuckles erupt in the room.

"Good thing it wasn't a question because I bet a hundred dollars you would've got it incorrect, but since I'm not allowed to gamble anymore, I will repeat what I said. You will be paired up with Alejandro for the five page essay on the word that is given to you. Understood?" He says giving me a small smile.

"Understood." I say sighing in relief that he wasn't mad at me for zoning out in his class. But why would he? I was his A student.

Wait. What? It takes a few seconds to comprehend what he just said, my partner is- Oh lord.

I look up and meet the eyes of the boy who was assigned to be my partner, Alex. His eyes become a shade darker as he looks at me with a frown etching on his lips and before I think he's going to mug me or somethin he finally glances away.

I let out a sigh. No smile.
Maybe him being my partner is going to be harder than I thought.

"Alright with that I will be passing out phrases or words to each set of partners. In the mean time exchange phone numbers and if you don't even know the name of your partner exchange that too."

The class erupts in laughter again and chairs begin to screech and everyone begins to seek out their partners.

I slowly get up and hope that I don't make fool out of myself.

Whoa. I finally posted a chapter...
Milagro. Which means what a miracle in Spanish.

Sorry for the short opening chapter. I just didn't want to get crazy with it.
Short & Sweet, right?
