Love They Say – Chapter 1.
Author's Note: Hi there :) This is a pretty short first chapter but I thought I'd post it to see if you guys' thought it was worth carrying on. I will try and update on a regular basis, I have a bit of trouble with fictional writing and I'm not the best at developing my stories, which I do apologise for in advance. If you guys' have any criticism or feedback, please don't hold back! And as always, please review!

I sighed as I pulled down the box from a shelf I could barely reach. Stacking it on top of three other boxes, I picked them up and started to carry them to the front of the store. I like working here, it always means that I have a little extra cash and don't need to ask my dad for money like most kids do. With it being a music store, it also means that I get a discount on strings and picks and other essentials for my guitar.
As I pushed through the door to the front of the store, I could hear a gentle strumming and assumed there was a customer by the guitars, instead they were right in front of me, which I didn't discover until I had a face full of scratchy carpet and heard someone groaning behind me from the weight of a box of records. I pulled myself up and started picking up the records that were strewn across the shop floor. "I'm fine and so is the guitar, by the way." I whipped round to the voice behind me. "Oh my gosh I am so sorry! Are you okay?! Let me help you up, are you hurt?" I sounded crazy; I can't believe I didn't help her. I pulled the box off of her and took her hand, not bothering to look at her properly, and pulled her up. "I'm fine, dude. Don't stress." She laughed. I looked at the floor, my face red from embarrassment. Suddenly, she lifted my chin up and to the side and I caught her eye. She's beautiful. Her eyes are a perfect shade of brown. Her lips are plump and make me desperate to kiss them. Her labret piercing and gummy smile are captivating. Her short curly hair frames her face perfectly. "You should probably wash that cut." I was snapped out of my trance. "Sorry?" She laughed again, "Dude, you cut your face on the carpet." I don't know what this girl is doing to me but whatever it is, I can't even get words to come out. I stepped forward without realising there was a record in front of me and went flying onto the girl. "Ohmygosh I am so so sorry I didn't realise there was a record in front of me." I could feel myself blushing. She looked at my nametag as she helped me back to my feet. "Sara it's fine. Are you okay you seem a bit flustered, are you hurt?"
I wasn't prepared for this; I don't talk to people much. I'm very shy and this girl is so beautiful and confident that I was in total shock. I let the tears fall freely and kept mumbling sorry to the girl, I don't even know her name. She pulled me into a hug and stroked my hair, "Sara, I'm fine, please don't worry, you didn't hurt me." I pulled away and dried my eyes. "I'm Tegan." She said with her adorable gummy smile. "I'm so sorry, Tegan. Can I help you with anything?" This is my job after all, I don't usually cry and fall over beautiful girls.
