Hello! This is the first chapter of my first story :3 as you can tell, I'm not that great of a writer, but I'm going to try to get better. I will try to update as much as I can but no promises because I am pretty busy lately :P anyways, enjoy!

(Sorry this chapter is short, but it's just the beginning)

Please review!

Monday mornings. Aren't they just peachy?

I had the hardest time getting up this morning. I stayed up really late last night trying to finish an essay that was due.

After debating with myself whether or not I should get up now or go in late, I achingly stood up from my bed and dragged myself into the bathroom. Flipping the lights on, I was startled by how bright the damn light was. I looked at myself in the mirror. I have brown, wavy-ish locks that just about past my chest and pale skin, complemented by a set of green marbles.

I don't think I'm pretty at all. Never has a guy asked me out. I feel lower than dirt.

I glance at the clock on my phone and notice it's time to go.

You'd never know how tiring it is to walk to school each and every day when it's on the complete opposite side of town. My parents leave for work early each morning, and the bus comes too early for me to catch, so it's really the only option I have.

Walking down the street, I feel a rush of cold down my spine. The brisk air leaves my nose looking red as a strawberry, and my skin looking wind burned.

As I trudged through the mountainous piles of snow, I notice the leaves on tree growing into bright shades of green. I am very fascinated with nature, and think that people should appreciate it more often.

I glance back down at my phone and see that school starts in a mere 10 minutes and I'm not even halfway through town. I start to jog, then within a few moments sprint. I can't be late again or else I'll get a detention. While running, I feel something weird beneath my feet.

Ice.

"Oh crap!" I think to myself while feeling the adrenaline pump through my veins.

I fall backwards into something. A person I believe?

I turn around and see a boy about my age. His emerald eyes glistened and his lips pulled into a faint smirk.

"Are you alright?" he says

"Oh…uhm" I'm completely breath-taken by this boy's eyes. They put me into a hypnotic state that I have trouble getting out of.

"Hey, are you hurt?" I hear him say again.

"Oh! No, I'm not hurt… just a b-bit st- startled." Damn it! I could feel my palms get sweaty. A boy had never made me feel this way before. I could feel a rush of heat travel to my cheeks. I was blushing, and could tell I probably looked stupid.

I see a smile form on his porcelain skin face. The most beautiful face I've ever laid eyes on.

"My name's Eli." he says

"H-hey Eli.. nice to meet you."

Eli. A name from the heavens. How perfect could this boy get?

"My name is Maddie." I say in a quick manner.

"Maddie, eh? Cute name." Here it comes again! My cheeks are boiling and I can't help it.

"Thanks. Well, I guess I'll just be on my way then." I walk up to the stop sign and cross the street. I glance back and notice he is still standing there. I squint my eyes and can still see that devilishly cute smirk on his face.

This is going to be a long day.
