PART ONE OF FOUR

<>

I fiddled with the ends of my wavy, shoulder length, brown hair. They were wavy from the sea salt spray I had spritzed into it. I knew he liked my hair this way. I liked him. I wanted him to like me. So, so badly. I wanted it more than getting into the Los Angles School of Performing Arts. Yeah, that's how badly I wanted it.

I peered over my shoulder at Seth Hutchings. He was sitting in the back beside Luke Luca, his best friend. Seth was already looking at me. When he noticed me looking back at him instead of looking away, he grinned at me. He grinned his beautiful Seth Hutchings grin.

A blush started to heat my cheeks, making me look away. My best friend, Jai Luca, shoved my shoulder. "Ari, are you blushing?" He teased.

"Shut up, Jai," I smiled. 

Seth Hutchings was the boy of my dreams. My God, he was gorgeous. He had gorgeous dirty blonde hair and these warm brown eyes that could make my entire body warm, like I was drinking a mug of hot chocolate on a cold night. We were just 15, but Seth's body was built like he was 18. His arms were strong and bulging with muscle. When he wore white shirts, you could see the imprint of his abs through the shirt. 

Seth Hutchings is absolutely gorgeous. 

I've known him since third grade when we had our first class together. In third grade, he had a crush on Lola McNaran who made it her personal job to torment me. He asked out Lola in fourth grade, so immediately I hated him. He was dating the bitch of fourth grade. They lasted all the way to sixth grade when he finally dumped her.

And then he decided he liked me. 

We had the same exact schedule in sixth and seventh grade. Just when I was starting to fall for him, I heard rumors he didn't like me anymore in eighth grade. I kept my crush on Seth to myself. If Seth didn't like me anymore, then no one needed to know that I liked him. 

Except Jai of course.

Now we're in ninth grade and my crush for him is stronger than ever. Sometimes, I think he likes me too. And then he goes and flirts with his ex-girlfriend, Lola McNaran. There was even a rumor they hooked up at last Friday's party. I didn't go. I was at home studying. I wish I could've gone. Maybe if I had gone, I could've distracted Seth. That way he wouldn't have hooked up with Lola.

Maybe they didn't at all. But that's just hopeful thinking.

As soon as the bell rang, kids starting racing out of the classroom. It was time for lunch after all. Being the klutz I was, I dropped all my notebooks on the ground. As Jai laughed at me, I cursed underneath my breath and bent down to pick it up. Just as I was about to pick them up, another hand beat me to it. I peered up from beneath my lashes to see Seth Hutchings grinning at me, my notebooks in his hands. 

"Um, thanks," I muttered, taking the notebooks from him.

As I shoved my stuff into my backpack, I heard Seth say, "So, Ariana, are you and Jai dating?"

Jai and I both choked on our spit. I recovered quickly, unlike Jai, and managed to say, "No way. No way in hell, Seth."

Seth grinned at me again. "I'm glad to hear that."

"I, um, I'll see you at lunch, Ari," Jai said, after he recovered from his choking scene. He shot me a grin and a wink before leaving the classroom.

"You free Friday night?" Seth asked me, a confident smirk on his lips.

I stared blankly at him. "What?"

"You know I like you, Ariana. Everyone knows I've had a crush on you since the sixth grade," Seth told me. His brown eyes screamed honesty.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. "What about Lola?" I asked.

Seth snorted. "Lola's a bitch." 

"That's true," I muttered under my breath. Seth overheard me and burst into laughter.

"Go on a date with me Friday night, Ariana," He pleaded, taking both my hands into his.

I looked down at our hands, a warmth spreading over my cheeks. Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to look into Seth's gorgeous brown eyes. "Sure."

"Is that a yes?" Seth asked. 

I nodded. "It's a yes, Seth." 

Seth split into the most gorgeous smile I have ever seen in my entire life. He dropped my hands. Before I could pout over it, Seth wrapped his arms around my shoulders and pulled me against him in a hug. This was a lot better than holding hands. I wasn't going to complain. 

"You don't know how long I've been waiting to ask you that," Seth whispered.

"Why haven't you asked?" I asked. 

"I didn't think you liked me back."

"You're an idiot."

"An idiot that's crazy for you."

I hid my smile against Seth's chest.
