What I Thought I Knew

Chapter 1- Ashland Academy

it's another day in the academy and this time as I get to the school I find Amber waiting for me by the main building with a cup of coffee. I thank her and we continue on as she says "How about that Tour?" . "Of course" I say and we continue on. Amber shows me a whole new area where the art room is and I can't believe how amazing it is. There are pictures and paintings all around the walls. They even have sculptures and designs made from recycled materials. I couldn't get over the painting in the back it was so colorful with a shadow of a wolf. Amber say me staring and said "Killian made that one", I could never peg him for an artist. We continued around the art studio until we heard the warning bell go off, which meant we have to get to class.

Amber and I race to the building next door, giggling all the way. We make it through to English as the next bell rang. We grab our seats towards the middle of the classroom. Mr. Glass starts to talk about our new assignment for the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. We hear a few groans throughout the class. I have already read this play so I am glad to be ahead of the assignment. The next few periods go quickly and before I know it is lunch time. I feel alittle anxious because I don't know where to sit.

turns out I was anxious for know reason, of course Amber included me with Callie and her at their table. We talked about the upcoming dance competition and songs we should use. Everything just seems to fall into place. Maybe moving wasn't going to be so bad after all as long as no one finds out my secret. As I contemplate all that can go wrong if that were to happen, I am snapped out of it with a wave in front of my face.

"Are you okay" asked Amber. "umm yeah I was just thinking how soon the dance competition is" I say. Amber seems to believe as she starts packing her stiff to let me know that lunch is about to be over. As we start walking Amber points me to the direction and says "My class is across campus but I will meet you after". As I'm about to turn and go towards my next class I knock right into what feels like a solid wall of muscle. As I look up craning my neck I see none other than Killian, just my luck. Killian with a smirk on his face says " We must stop meeting like this". He has no idea what he has erupted in my body. I'm not one to be corny and believe in love at first sight but Killian definitely stirs up something in me. "I'm sorry" I stamper. "Well where you off to in such a hurry" he says and as luck would have it we are going to the same U.S. History class and Killian offers to walk with.

Be cool Paige, he is just trying to be nice. But I don't know how cool I can be as we are so close walking side by side I can practically feel the heat off his body.
