Chapter 1My alarm went off for the forth time before I hit the snooze button,I pushed my study papers off my lap which has spent the night with me .
Raking a hand through my hair I let my eyes adjust to the light shining through my blinds .
"Alex breakfast" mom shouts from my door.
"Coming "
I walk to my closet and pull a shirt over my head before I rush down the stairs. Mom is alone which means my dad is already left for the church.
"Alex have should eat before its to late and maybe grab a shower " mom says smiling gently at me . Linda Sanders was a simple woman blonde hair and blue eyes that held warmth . I grabbed some bacon and eggs eating hastily as I checked the time ,when im finished and mom has updated me about the new prayer group my father is hosting whicb ofcourse I pretend to listen to , I shower and change into geans and a blue teashirtt combing my blonde curls quickly before im done.
"Bye mom" I shout throwing my books into my schoolbag
"Honey dont forget your father wants you to attend the group tonight" my mother says
"Yes mother "
"Have a blessed day" she smiles I smile back meekly .
Mondays were always my favrioute it meant getting away for a few hours . Away from my father and his constant religious babble . I notice a moving truck when I head down the steps, there was hadly ever new people in town. Lost in though I heard wheels turning and suddenly i felt myself falling backwards.
"Shit!" A deep vioce says I blink looking up at the sky "Sorry my board got away from me" I blink again my eyes staring up into deep dark eyes . A boy maybe around my age 18 .His tall and from my view muscular. His skin is sunkissed and his jawline is what girls would call godlike . He regards me with amusement and I notice myself staring . Shit. His a guy Alex .
"Could you help " I say lifting my hand .
"Oh right" he grins pulling me effortlessly to my feet . I look back at the blakc skateboard and back at him "sorry about that,not exactly a great first impression " he grins again and my stomich feels warm I blink unsure what to say or think . Why am I staring. His eyes are so dark almost like chocolate framed by dark lashes .
"I'm Seth" he says brushing past me to pick up his board the connection leaves a tingle of head agianst my shoulder .
" Alex " I say extending my hand . He seems to be enjoying some joke that im not aware of because he smirks.
"Looks like were neighbours" he says cocking his head to the side.
"Ah well um welcome to the neighborhood " well I sounded like a dumb ass .
"So i guess Il be seeing you in school "
Shit. School!
" I'm late " I say "I have to go but it was ah nice meeting you"
"See you later neighbour " he shouts after me it sounds like a challenge.When I get to school Bayley my best friend is seated at the back of the cmass her bag holding a place for me ,she peeks up a smile spreading across her face her red curls are pulled back revealing her big green eyes.
"Hey Al your late" she whispers when I sit down.
" I overslept" I admitted .
Pursing her lips "so did you hear there is a new guy starting tommorow "
Yes his my neighbour.
"Nope"
"Well its about time .this school needa fresh meat" Bayley says winking at me .
The rest of the day is a blur of classes and when I walk home I dont feel as defeated as usaul . Why do I feem exited?
Turning onto my pavement I look at the house next door . There are no curtians yet . I wonder if seth is home. Stop it! What are you thinking Alex .
I storm towards the front door heading straight to my room and throwing myself on my bed.
The benefit to having a room upstairs was that I was left alone up here . I stand up fromy my bed and go to the window looking straight into Seth's house.
And to my surprise I find him walking into view his shirtless raking his hands through his dark hair . His body is toned and tanned, he looks strong. My heart is beating so loudly I lick my lips my eyes unable to look away when he slips his pants off and stands only in his underwear . His back is now facing me . His so perfectly sculpted . There was no dought girls at school would be all over him. The concept made me sad. As if sensing me Seth turns his eyes looking straight into mine .I remain frozen blue eyes looking into dark but his reaction is anything but expected he smiles not a simple smile but a smile that says he knows something. A smile that says I challange you but to what?
I quickly pull my blinds closed ny heart racing. What was I diong? Why was I staring at a guy? And why the hell did he seem happy about it ?
