Two college students on to their next chapter after high school. Alex Morgan and Bentley James attended the same high school on two different popularity scales. A high school cheerleader turning heads through the halls, as a casual high school student doing what needs to be done to graduate. 
"Whoa, are you okay?" a figure in all black asks me.
"Yeah i'm fine. I'm so sorry I didn't think anyone else would be up this early trying to break into the vending machine," I laugh as I show proof of the snickers bar I shook out of the slot.
"Do I, do I know you from somewhere?" the man with piercing green eyes asks as he moves his hair out of his eyes. 
My chest tightens at the question.
"No probably not. I'm not from here; I should get going I have to get to the football field soon," without a look back, I quickly turn around and jog back to my room before anymore questions could be asked.
If someone, or anyone, knows who I am, or where I came from, I might as well start applying to other colleges. New goal, avoid the boy with gorgeous green eyes and dreamy hair..
