"Mum when do i start school again?"
"I called in principal Hastings and we agreed on next Monday. Honey please stop worrying that much. Everything's going to be okay."
"Thanks mum. I know, im sorry."
The only thing i was worried about was that I'd see him again. The words he said to me that night appeared in my head and made me have more doubts about coming back. I couldn't keep him out of my head. In the beginning he was so mysterious yet sweet but he turned out to be my worst mistake. A nightmare im trying to forget.

"I can't believe that i agreed to wear this!" i murmured for the hundredth time before me and the girls approached the school building. Sofia and Emily have been my best friends for almost four years since the beginning of the sixth grade and now we were entering high school together. I was really nervous about my appearance since i didnt have the best reputation about my looks in middle school. I mean sure i did have many friends and some guy-friends here and there but i knew that every boy of that school, heck even of that town, thought of me as the short fat girl. Over the last year i was on a diet and after losing 10 kg, i regained most of them this summer. Im not proud for it but im trying my best to work it out with myself and finally deal with this situation.
"Chloe! Are you even listening?" my best friend scowled me, taking me out of my thoughts.
"Huh? Im sorry i was kind of in my own world." i apologized as we entered our new school, trying to find our lockers.
"So we were talking about trying out for the cheer and volleyball team. I mean we can be on the cheer squad and you can join the volleyball team. You've been practicing for five years now, don't you think it's time for you to <<get in the game>>?"
"I mean i cou-" and that's when they pulled me to the side looking at someone behind me. I slowly turned around trying to understand who they were looking at when i saw a tall, cute guy talking with his friends. His messy curly hairs in combination with his beautiful hazel eyes made me have a weird attraction for him. Something like love at first sight but no. That was different. It was definitely not love. Maybe like at first sight but no, not love. I never did and never will believe in love at first sight. I have this theory that you can't just love someone for his looks. You have to adore his character, to know him!
Little did i know, he would change my whole perspective of life in just 8 months.
