Prologue

*beep beep beep* "uh, morning has come way to early…" I say groggily.

"CHEYENNE! Time for school!" my brother Chris yelled.

"YA, I KNOW!" I also yelled.

I got up and got dressed. This was my first day at my new school in Sacramento. I used to live in Tennessee with my parents but they got a divorce and it was really hard on me to live with my mom for a few months and then switch out and live with my dad. So I said, you know what, I'm going to just live with my brother. I look more like my dad; I have brown hair, blue/green eyes, and a really freakin pointy nose. Not like a straight pointy nose, but curved with a point on the end.

Anyway, after I got dressed and got myself as ready as I could make myself, we left and my brother dropped me off. And then I realized... I was alone. I had no friends. So, the awkward person I am, I just walked to my class… BUT, I apparently forgot to tie my shoes and of course, tripped and dropped all of my books. As I was tying my shoes before I picked my books up, a boy walked up to me. Brown hair, sort of "bowl" shaped I guess you could say, and the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen on a human being.

"Hey, do you need help with your books?" he asked.

"Yeah, that would be really helpful." I said

He picked up my books and I got my shoes tied pretty tight, they were almost cutting off the circulation in my feet.

"I'm Cheyenne, Cheyenne Berg. Thanks for helping." I said.

"I'm Ian, Ian Hecox. And, you're welcome." He said mocking me.

I reached out to take my books but he just moved back.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Umm... I'm getting my books so I can get to class."

"No you're not; I'm carrying them for you. What class do you have?" he asked excitedly.

"Umm… I have… chemistry!"

"Me too, I'll walk you there."

"Thanks!" I said happily. Finally, someone I can talk to!

"So, I haven't seen you around. Are you new here?"

"Actually yes, I moved here from Tennessee to live with my brother because my parents got a divorce."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that…"

"It's ok. My dad was kind of abusive so…"

"Wow, I don't know what else to say besides sorry."

"Well, anyway. Here's our class." I said, trying to break the silence.

"Actually, this is our class." He said pointing toward the class across the hall.

"Oh, this map is so confusing. I'm glad I found you or I would've went into the wrong class."

"Yeah, that would've been embarrassing." He said smiling. Gah, he had the cutest smile ever!

We walked in and he introduced me to his best friend, Anthony. I sat by Ian and he helped me understand everything they we were learning. I think Anthony got a little jealous though because he would keep glancing at us and just staring. I felt really bad! So when we got to lunch, being the sincere person I am, I apologized.

"Anthony, I'm sorry for Ian paying more attention to me, and I'm not trying to say this rudely I swear. I don't want to steal your best friend from you!"

"It's ok, I think my jealousy takes over me sometimes, but I know your new and you don't have any friends so I'm glad you guys are talking." He said.

"Are you sure? Because I don't want to be the cause of you guys not being friends!"

"I'm positive. Plus, I think Ian might have a crush on you!" he said chuckling.

Ian… has a crush on me? We just met today, but I think I might like him too… I should get to know him better though.
