"You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you are doing, where you are, who you are with, and if you are okay. You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who could make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy."
A tear caresses down my cheek. "But you do make me happy!" I exclaim. He takes a step towards me and hugs me tightly.
"Not as much as him." he sighs, "I see the way he looks at you. In his eyes, I see how much you mean to him. I don't want to ruin that." He puts his chin on my head, and we rock back and forth on the grass.
More tears escape as I cry into his shoulder. I glance at the sky. The dark grey clouds hover over us.
He looks into my eyes. "I would never forgive myself if I ruined your relationship with him. When you are with him there is something to fight for, something that makes you want to live. Me? No. I'm just that typical guy that will never have what you two have. Love."

Ariella moves to a new school, dreading having to make new friends and the whole idea of leaving her old ones.
She bumps into a guy. A guy who she thinks looks good. A guy who she realizes looks familiar. Good familiar. A familiar that could get her into trouble.
Tall. Dark hair. Same dark shade eyes. And a smile. The smile that she knew oh so well.
Noah. The only guy who matched her competitiveness to a point where she hated his guts.
They had grown up together.
But growing up together, didn't necessarily mean that they were friends.
It didn't even necessarily mean that they liked each other.
What happens when both get tangled up together and fall for each other without even noticing?
