[Finleys POV]

We were walking down the hall. Back to school again. It's the first day.

"Oh my gosh Mara! I am so nervous. How do I look? Is my hair okay?"

"Yes Finley. It looks great like always so don't worry," replied Mara.

"Okay, Good. I was just checking"

I would hate to look terrible the first day of school. Even though I have no one to impress.

"What is your schedule?" asked Mara.

"Well I have Biology, English 2, Spanish, and Art."

"Aww, that sucks really bad we only have Spanish together," Mara replied disappointed.

(Bell rings for first period)

"Okay well have fun in first period! Hopefully I can actually stand the people in mine," I said as we parted.

Every year I end up hating all the people in my classes they are always immature or make the teacher angry at our class. Hopefully I get lucky.

I walked into biology and we have those tables that only sit two. They were in columns leaving a big path in the middle and a projector. Me being... well me I went and sat down at one by myself it was towards the back but not the last. I didn't want the teacher to think I was one of the troublemakers who sits in the back avoiding them. I am not a teacher's pet who sits at the very front. I sat somewhere nobody would notice me because I thought then I really don't have anyone to worry about but man was I wrong. Two minutes later and the tardy bell rings.

"Students class has begun. This is what I will expect from you in this class," she says while passing out papers. She starts taking attendance and calls my name "here!" I replied. Then a few seconds later I hear "Emerson? Emerson Williams? Are you here?" She starts to mark him as absent but right at that moment the most breathtaking boy burst into the class room. "I'm here!" He exclaimed. "Okay Emerson find a seat quickly. I won't mark you tardy since it's the first day." We make eye contact.

Please don't sit with me. Please don't sit with me.

It's like he heard my thoughts and did the opposite. "May I sit with you?" he asked. I looked up and stared for a moment in shock. "With me? You want to sit with me?" I said in shock.

"Well that's what I said silly. Can I or not?" he asked again. I had no clue what to do or how to respond so I just said yes. "Well it's not like I bite so why not. I don't mind."

Oh my gosh all I had to do was say yes. But me being my dumb self had to reply with a paragraph now he probably thinks I talk to much. Good one Finley.

He sat down next to me which meant that I got to examine him closer. He was so handsome. The thing that drew me to him the most were his eyes. Emerald green, gorgeous eyes I couldn't stop looking at. He was tan. He had beautiful dark brown hair. "Um like what you see?" He asked.

I swear I am so dumb sometimes. I completely forgot I was looking at him.

My cheeks were on fire and I had no clue how red my face was. "Oh I... I was just looking and wishing I had eyes as beautiful as yours." I said with embarrassment. I could tell it caught him off guard. He blushed a bit and looked away. And with that being said he stopped talking for a while. We were copying notes off the projector screen when I glanced over to see him staring at me now. And ill never forget the words that he said when I asked "Do you like what you see? ".

His response was no where close to anything I expected. "Well yes I was just looking and wishing I had been so lucky to meet a girl as beautiful as you until now." I was so shocked my mouth dropped. I was silent for a second. All I could do was smile. No boy has ever complimented me like that especially not one I just met. Finally I decided to gather my words. "Thank you that was very sweet. My name is Finley. Its nice to meet you Emerson."

"Wait uh how'd you know my name?" he asked. Me remembering the dramatic entrance and the stunning boy sitting next to me. How could I not remember his name. "She was calling attendance when you busted through the door saying I'm here I'm here" I pointed out. We both laughed for a second, then the bell rang and class was over.

"Hey can I see your schedule real quick" he asked flashing a smile. I turned my binder around showing him my classes in the front. He nodded and replied "Great! We have next period and last period together. Now you have someone to walk with. I could see the eyes staring at us as if we just set the school on fire and I knew this year something was going to be different.
