"That would be me."
I stood up, ignoring the guy at the door, to go and pick up the pen that had just crashed onto the rough carpet. Suddenly it feels like the world is tilting at its axis. But it's not the world that's tilting. It's me. My untied shoelace got caught on the chair leg and I can already tell my face is about to hit the floor. But then I don't. Someone caught me.
"Woah there. Falling for me already?" I heard a muffled voice say from behind me.
Shit. That devilishly good-looking guy that just walked through the door is standing behind me and just caught me from my awkward fall. Great first impression.
"Hey do you want to go to the nurse? You've scraped your knee." He said.
His voice was like angels singing in my ears. No Aria you are not falling for his trickery. But how can I not? He had dark brown hair, feathered and curly. Messy enough to look perfect. He was tall, about 6'3. He wore a grey t shirt that was tight around his muscles. He had a strong build so he must be on some sort of sports team. His jawline was defined, and he looked tough. But what really stood out were his sea green eyes. His eyes and his stare could pierce through anyone. His mouth started curling up in one corner.
"Why you staring at me Angel? Am I too perfect for you?" he chuckled.
"Yes you fucking are." Is what I wanted to say, but I know it was just my mind playing tricks on me. I got up, dusted myself off and then realised I still hadn't got my pen.
"Is this yours, Angel?" he asked.
"Thanks." I said, taking the pen out of his hands.
The rest of the lesson went on without any more disturbances or awkward falls from Aria. Finally, the bell rang and I packed up my things to head home.
"Hey, I never got your name. What is it?" the mystery boy asked me.
"I'm Aria. Thanks for saving me by the way."
"My names Jack. Do you want to grab a bite to eat from JB's Diner after school?"
"Sure, can my friends Aracelis and Penny tag along? I was gonna head there with them anyway." I replied with a smile.
"Yeah that's fine. I'll meet you on the pier at 3:30. Bye Aria!" He left with a smug look on his face.
Wow. Did I just agree to meet him at JB's Diner after everything that had just happened? At least it means I can get a break from writing my new Wattpad story.
A story about two lovers, who at first are only friends in their classes, but hide their true feelings for one another. God, I wish that was real and I was Elle. She has such an amazing seeming life.

I waited outside on Miami pier for a few minutes until Penny showed up with Aracelis.
"Who are you waiting for again? That guy that saved you from hitting your head in English, right?" said Penny.
"Excuse me? Does our little Aria have a secret crush? Tell me all about him." said Aracelis.
"Okay well, he's tall dark brown hair, sea green eyes and looks like he's on some type of sports team." I described.
"I think I might know someone who matches that description." Said a deep voice from across the path.
There he was. My heart skipped a beat when i stared at him. Why was he so goddamn beautiful? I know I shouldn't but... I think I like Jack Amberson. Something about him makes me go all tingly.
"You guys ready for some epic burgers?" he asked, ignoring the fact that I've been staring at him for the past few minutes.
We walked inside the diner with happy smiles on our faces. The food was amazing. I had a burger and fries whilst Penny and Jack shared a hotdog. Aracelis ate a vegetable salad.

When I got home, everything was so calm and peaceful. I took off my shoes, placed my bag on a hook and went to make myself a quick snack in the kitchen. My dad was still at work so I had some time to go upstairs and watch some Netflix on my new flatscreen TV. I walked up the creaky stairs again and found my bedroom door was swung open. I remember this morning I left it closed. Maybe it was my imagination. But then I opened it more and saw a dark figure trying to open my drawers. At first, I thought I was dreaming, but then the figure acknowledged I was there. That's when he made a run for it. I screamed as loud as I could and cried. That's when I felt someone behind me. Jack. Why did he follow me home?
"What the fuck just happened?" he yelled.
"I-I think someone just broke into my house.." I replied through sobs.
