Chapter One: Why me
Red all around me, the feeling of someone on top of me, panting running fingers over every inch of me like I am being sculpted by them. lips trail down my body setting me ablaze. Then the alarm goes off, my eyes jolt open and I groan. Ugh my alarm has just the worst timing. I roll out of bed and stumble to the closet, time to get dressed for another day where no one notices me. I put my hair in a ponytail thinking that it's almost time to go get a haircut. I leave my room and walk down the all too familiar hallway, full of family photos and happy memories. I step into my brothers room, he is still sleeping, lucky him he hasn't started school yet being only five years old is so nice; I used to hate that my parents had my brother when I was about to start high school. Now I look at little max and am so thankful to have him and not have to go through losing my mom all alone. We haven't done a single family photo since mom died. I miss her almost daily. I leave my house and drive into school. As I head into the building I see him. Tyler, He is a beautiful man, I don't think he has any clue I exist. I see him look in my direction with his piercing green eyes. I blush, I've had a crush on him since we were in elementary school, I have always been drawn to him and completely uninterested in other guys. Tyler is just to popular, captain of the football team. Rich parents, I heard rumors that his house is huge. He always has a girl wanting his attention, grabbing at him. Those girls all try to hard in my opinion, but he has probably been with at least one of those girls. As I walk to class my very best friend Jessica. She is always trying to set me up with guys. I have always told her not to bother a girl wants who she wants. "Hey you!" she says with the most beautiful smile ever. My bestie and me have always been friends, we have weekly sleep overs and she tells me all about her dating life, We used to have a third friend in our group named Lola, we don't see her a lot anymore, she is pretty sick so spends most of her time in the hospital. Jessica is beautiful with long blonde hair, beautiful blue eyes, and just a winning personality. "Hey" I chime back. She's the only person who brightens my day. "So, How about a slumber party tonight?" She asks looking mischievous. She usually just wants to do this when she wants to talk me into dating, again. This girl just doesnt know when to stop. "Just tell me who it is and I'll give you the same answer as always." I retort, I am not interested in anyone at the school but Tyler and he wouldn't notice me. She giggles " How about you meet me at the gym after classes and I'll introduce you." I groan, I just know she's going to spring yet another uninteresting guy. She's officially obsessed, just because I have never had my first kiss, let alone even a first date. I just want to be with Tyler, I don't want anyone else to have those firsts. "Fine but if I am not interested you will owe me." We continue to chat as we go about our day. my mind wondering throughout my day, I keep getting pulled back into my dream from last night, something about the mystery man felt so familiar and my longing for him was so strong I just didn't know what force was pulling me towards him. My stupid alarm always interrupts me just as my dream was starting to get good. Not like I would even pretend to know what comes next. As the last bell rings I feel Jessica jerks my hand towards the gym, she was walking to fast almost pulling my arm out of my arm socket. Once we are there she has me turn away from the door, I guess to give the guy some kind of chance. I roll my eyes a little at her. She can be so frustrating sometimes. I think she knows that from time to time she has to push me."You have to promise me you will give this guy an honest shot." Jessica looks at me sternly. The look on her face was kind of priceless, but I know she means business. "Ugh, alright Jess just promise if I am not interested you will put a stop to this." I retort back. I hear the door behind us open and take a deep breath to steady myself. "Hello." I hear a deep, familiar voice, I am already blushing. It couldn't be. I turn around and it is. "Hello." I say voice cracking a little as I start also nibbling on my bottom lip I am so nervous I cannot believe He would be interested in me. "I am sorry to have surprised you, Sam." he states calmly. He looks so intensely at me I find myself blushing and wanting to look away but I can't. I am under his spell. I find myself walking closer to him. My heart starts racing my breathing staggered, I just want to kiss him, suddenly I lean into him. I am less than an arms length away from the man of my dreams. Tyler.
