In Another Life

Our Past

Valentina P.O.V

Freshman Year....

It was my first day of high school. I was nervous and didn't want to go at all. I hated the fact that I had to find my classes and walk alone in the halls.

My locker was grey and plain. The people were fake and I heard whistle calls all around from boys checking out the girls.

My fist class was hard to find since it was upstairs. I had to walk two flights of stairs. I was already tired.

"Hey new girl!" I hear a guy yell from next to me. I shyly look up at his beautifully sculpted face.

"H-hey." I shutter looking ahead of me. I feel his stare still on me as I stop walking as I am in front of my class.

"I'm Dylan." He smiles and chuckling.

"Valentina." I simply say shying my eyes away from his.

I watch has he steps back for a person to walk through the classroom door. I go to follow the person, but Dylan stops me.

"I'll see you again Val." He says waving his hand walking down the hall.

"Val?" I whisper to myself creasing my eyebrows. I shake my head and walk in the classroom.

I smile to myself as I sit down.

"Hey bitch!" I hear a phony girls' voice yell from behind me.

"Uh...Hi?" I crease my eyebrows and hold my book to my chest.

"I'm Shiva." She smiles holding out her hand. I hesitated but shook her hand in the end.

"Valentina." I reply after a few seconds of silence.

"I saw you talking Dylan earlier." She adds holding onto my shoulder.

"So are you guys a thing?" She raises an eyebrow crossing her arms.

"I'm confused, so your not trying to be mean to me?" I ask stepping back a bit.

"No of course not, I want to be friends." She states putting her head up.

"Hey." I hear Dylan's voice say from next to me. I turn my head to see him looking over at me.

"I'll see you later." She says winking at me and giggling.

I watch Dylan's movements as he walks in front of me. He sighs and looks down at me before he says anything.

"Will you go out with me?" He questions cocking an eyebrow.

"Um..." I say looking down embarrassed.

"You don't have to say yes, but-." I cut him off by answering the question.

"Yeah I'll go out with you." I answer nodding my head. I watch has his frown turns to a smile and scratches the back of his head.

"I was hoping you would say that." He shyly says shrugging his shoulders.

"So I'll see you tonight." He responds grabbing my phone that was on top of my books. He types his number into it and gives it back to me.

"Why are you interested in me?" I boldly ask looking up at him.

"There's something about you Val." He smiles taking my books from me.

"So I'm going to find out why you attract me so much."
