Bound To Burn - The Highschool Diaries
Amy West was that girl.
New to the school ,Sharp-witted. A quiet storm with kind eyes and answers always ready before the teacher finished asking. She walked the halls like she was made of both porcelain and iron. A little mysterious. A little untouchable.
And then there was Alessio De Luca.
The boy rejoining this year, smooth hair, that careless grin like he knew exactly what he was doing - even if he didn't. He wasn't the top student, but he made top hearts race. He had that energy. The kind that made some teachers frustrated, boys jealous, and girls curious , the one who got all respect . He didn't ask for attention - he attracted it.
They were opposites. Fire and rain. Brains and instinct. Logic and chaos.
But you know how it goes -
Sometimes the brightest light draws the darkest shadow.
And sometimes the heart wants what the mind can't understand.
It was the first day of the school year.
Notebooks crisp. Uniforms stiff. Air filled with the scent of ambition and adolescent anxiety.
Amy West walked into St. Gabriel's High for the first time.
New city. New school. New everything.
She wasn't shy - just... observant. Cautious. The kind of girl who spoke only when she meant it. The kind who listened twice before trusting once.
She was ready for a quiet year. Grades, books, and maybe a few new friends.
"Alessio De Luca is rejoining this year."
Dropped out last year.
No one really knew why.
Fights? Family stuff? A bad crowd? A broken heart?
Whispers followed him before his shoes even stepped onto campus.
When he walked in on the first day - heads turned.
Sunglasses still on. Hair pushed back. That smirk that said "I know you're talking about me."
One glance. That was all.
