Chapter 1: Touchdown

\\Lilly's POV//
"Walking through a cloud the village is a glow" I hear while I straighten my hair. Welcome to New York is playing again. I french braid a section of my hair in the front and bobby pin it up. First day of school, what to wear? I look through my closet and find a jean crop top and a kind of beige skater skirt. I throw on a cute Christmas sweater overtop and slip on some converse. "Bye Mom" I say as I walk out the door. School doesn't start for about 30 minutes, I'll grab some starbucks. There's a starbucks right around the corner, and I live right by the school. I walk to the starbucks. "Hi can I get a large Egg Nog latte please?" I ask. Egg nog lattes are my favorite Christmas drink. He hands me my change and I sit down at a table. I notice the door open and the most handsome guy walks in. He looks about 6 foot 1. Brown hair, muscular. Wearing a varsity football jacket, white V neck and blue jeans. Maybe I already like this town. "Lilly?" The barista calls and I grab my latte. I walk out the door and walk to school. I reach into my purse for my phone. "Locker number 867" I say quietly to myself. There it is. I dial in the code and it opens. I pull out a few things from my bag to decorate it a little. I throw my purse in and finish my Egg nog latte. I grab my phone and slip it in my jacket pocket. The bell rings. Just in time for homeroom. I have Mrs. Wilson it says. I find her room and take a seat by the window. The second bell rings and she starts calling attendance. "Becca, Tracy, Travis, Coleson, Jordan, Aiden" a bunch of other names that are all a blur to me. "Lilly" she says. I raise my hand and say "here". The door opens and the whole class stares. It's the guy from starbucks. "Mr. Taylor Lautner" she says. "Late as usual". He shrugs and throws his bags on the ground and plops into the seat beside me. He stares over at me while I try to pay attention to the teacher. "What?" I say trying not to smile. He throws a paper airplane at me. I unfold it and it says "my house later?". I throw it back at him angrily. Even though to be honest, it was so sexy.
