Chapter 1: Secrets

We were just sitting there, talking. Me and Seth loved each other we both knew that. Ever since I was a little girl I had a crush on him. That crush turned into love and we both loved each other. Not just the butterfly love I mean full on heart melting, do anything for each other kind of love. We weren't "officially" together though and I don't think either of us knew why. But that day by the river something changed, Seth started talking about things. Things I couldn't understand. Right out of the blue he just said:

"Arabella, do you believe in love at first sight? Knowing that you were meant to be with someone straight away?"

"Seth… Where's this going?"

"Uhh…Never mind. I was just thinking you know?"

"What were you thinking about?"

"Ara, have I ever told you that as soon as I saw you that I knew I wanted to be with you?"

I shifted uncomfortably on the grass."Seriously? As soon as you saw me?"

"Yeah..." He sighed. "Love at first sight."

I smirked and got up to walk away, Seth following closely behind. "Ara?" He called.

"Yes?"

"Do you wanna go to the beach party tonight? I mean its totally cool if you don't…Nessie and Jake will be there and you can go ho…" He babbled

"Seth! I'd love to come" I laughed.

"Really? Because it doesn't make us "exclusive" just a friend thing…I swear."

I nudged him gently "Stress less, you'll age prematurely"

For some reason Seth burst out laughing at this. "Ara, I'll never age I'll stay my youthful self for a long time." He laughed and then he stopped like he said something wrong like he let a secret slip.

"Oh yeah? I don't think so buster" I pushed him gently and ran ahead.
