Jeremiah swam across the lake with speed and grace. Being a Dained, beauty and athletics are a large part of the Dained life. For his size and age, Jeremiah was not only a hot piece, but got top marks in athletic competitions in his village. He was one of the few teens in his village to receive first place in adult competitions.

Deciding he had enough, he swam to shore, dried off, and put on his clothes. Heading home, he stopped by the local market to grab some bread as a quick pick-me-up until he ate next. As he made his way towards his house, he was stopped by screeching fangirls. As said before, he was a hot piece, and very athletic. In a place where that is the most important thing, he was a very popular person. He could have any girl he wanted in the entire village. With the exception of one. The one he wanted most of all.

He hurried past the waves of people, and swiftly entered his home. Sighing a breath of exhaustion, he put his stuff in the closet and went to his room. While most would think the life of a celebrity was great, they are wrong. It is tiring. 

He laid on his bed, contemplating his life. He often found himself wishing he was a nobody. He stayed there thinking when his father entered his room.

"Hey, Jeremiah". "Hey Dad", Jeremiah responded. He was in a miserable mood, and his father could easily tell. "What's up with you. You have been acting so miserable lately". "I am tired of all this attention by total strangers", Jeremiah responded. "They are annoying, and they do not like me because of my personality, rather, they like me because of my looks and athletic achievements. Honestly, I would rather be unknown to most then be treated like this. Thats why I want to be with Jessica. She isn't one of the girls who want to be with me, simply due to fame and money. That is why I try and get her to like me".


" I do not approve of her. Someone of your stature should be with someone else of your stature. You are out of her league. Please pick one of the many higher class girls", his father remarked.


" No, I only want her" Jeremiah stated. "And my answer will not change"

They were alerted when someone started to knock on their front door.
