*Agetha's POV*
I never thought sophomore year could be more exciting than it already was, and by exciting I mean it sarcastically no one pays any attention to me. Most times I'm known as that one girl in chemistry class but today was different. We had a new student come in today and let me tell you, he looks pretty good. Who am I kidding he was hot. Hotter than than the sun in Summer time, he was perfect. I couldn't help but stare at him, then his eyes met mine followed by a slight smile. I didn't know what to do so I just smiled back while trying to be as flirty as possible even though I had never done anything like flirt before. Then he started walking, up to me, then he was right next to me, as I looked up he said something:"Is this seat taken?" and I couldn't help but melt. "OMChesesus, is he really talking to me,what do I say, I can't leave him standing there everyone is looking at me,at us,oh..." I thought but then the words came out "No, here let me move my stuff.." Stupid me dropped my bag instead of picking it up, I could hear people starting to chuckle and laugh at me I felt so embarrassed then my hand touched something, a hand, his hand, he was helping me get my stuff, no one has ever done that before.
"Thanks." I said. "Yea sure, anytime." I finally got my things back in my bag and we sat down. "My name is Roman by the way" he said with his hand out waiting for me to shake it. As I told him my name, "I'm Agetha, nice to meet you." I couldn't help but smile.
