Connor.

September of 2009, time for me to visit a new school and see if I can make my life here. I've been watching her all summer. Sara Matthews. I've bumped into her at the local Cumberland Farms asking her for directions on where Walmart was or where they kept the milk. Stupid reasons to talk to her. She has been very nice to me with every stupid question I ask. Watching her through my window while she is at that white house is calming. Knowing that soon. She will be mine. I've already made the football team. I mean I'm great at tackling. Now it's time for me to find her and properly win her affection. As I enter into Oxford Hill Comprehensive High School, I see a bunch of high school students already in the main hall. I am grabbed by the football team pulling me up the spiral staircase. Great. I don't need this I'm looking for her. I am pulled into conversation about team activities and the homecoming bonfire when I hear her laugh. I look down to see her enter in the main hall. She has her curly hair straightened so it's just below her shoulders. She is wearing a black long sleeve shirt with a red tank top under it and black skinny jeans with converses. Her bag hangs off her shoulder and she through the crowd. I look at my football buddies and laugh loudly trying to get her attention. It works. As I laugh; I look out the corner of my eye to see her look up at me. I look over and smirk at her. She instantly looks away and enters in the office. I smile bigger. I watch that door like it's about to explode. Where is she? Why hasn't she come out yet? What is she doing in there? When the doors are pushed open and she walks out of the office. She turns left and walks down the hallway towards a hall full of lockers. I excuse myself from the jocks and walk down the stairs and into the hall of lockers to see her standing at her locker. Okay. Be cool Connor. She is special. She's the one for you. I see her locker is open shielding her from the students walking past her. I quietly walk up to her locker door when she shuts it and screams.

"Sorry." I instantly say. "I didn't mean to scare you." I apologize.

"It's okay. I'm just a little jumpy that's all." She explains to me. Oh darling girl you don't have to explain anything to me. I know I'm looking at her for too long so I look down and smile.

"You're a freshmen here aren't you?" I ask her.

"Yeah. Er, how can you tell?" I ask him.

"well I'm a sophomore here and I just haven't seen you around here. That's all." I lie to her. My first lie. "I'm Connor Daily." I introduce myself.

"Oh, um yeah. I'm Sara Matthews." She introduces herself to me.

"Listen I know this is a little out of the blue and odd but, would you like to go out to a movie with me?" I ask her. Her face turns bright red and she looks down.

"um, sure. That sounds like fun." She says.

"Great. Um here's my number." I grab her hand and write it down on her palm. "Shoot me a text today and I will pick you up on Friday around 7?" He asks,

"Yeah. That sounds great." She smiles. I nod my head and walk away from the beautiful girl that I made swoon already. Maybe I'm her first everything. This is a good thing for me I can't wait to taste her.

I am obsessed with her. She is mine. The clothes she is wearing is constantly teasing me. I want her. I want her now. Through the next few days we eat lunch together I walk her home. We haven't kissed yet and trust me if it was up to me, I would have kissed her the day I said hello. It's finally Friday night and she's texted me that she would meet me at the theater. I choose the movie Gamer. Action packed is what you like. Says your myspace page at least. I stand outside of the oxford Flagship Cinemas waiting for her to come. As I look over I see her get out of a white Honda civic with a man driving her. Who the fuck is that Sara? She walks over to me.
