Chapter 1

The New Boy

My alarm clock went off and I almost caught myself but it was too late. I had fallen out of my bed but immediately climbed back in.

My older brother ran into my room and starts jumping on my bed.

"Sophie! Wake up!" he starts yelling and he accidentally stepped on my tail.

"Ow!" I screamed pushing him off of my bed onto the floor.

"I'm sorry, you know-"

"Just get out!" I yelled through gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry, just stop yelling at me!" he ran out of the room crying.

"I'm sorry." I whispered to myself.

I sighed, well now I'm awake, so I might as well get ready for school. I pulled on a black paint splattered tank top with some faded blue skinny jeans, a beanie, and a pair of DC's. Then I grabbed my backpack, a pop tart, and started my long walk to school.

As soon as I walked into my English class late, again, I saw him, the hottest teenage boy I've ever seen. I stood there gaping

"Sophie, Sophie, Sophia Wolfe!" My teacher Mr. Varner yelled.

"Huh? What?"

The class giggled, that boy had the most beautiful smile. I stumbled to my seat and he got up and caught me before I fell.

"Thanks." I said.

"Welcome," he replied, "I'm Ben Johnson."

"I'm Sophia Wolfe, um, nice to meet you."

"Oh, the pleasure is all mine."

We stood there gazing into each others eyes, he had the most exotic green eyes, and his lips look so soft. I started leaning in towards him.

The teacher cleared his throat, "If you two are done, we would all like to start class."

I blushed as I sat down. I couldn't even focus on my classes, and if he was in any of them. At lunch I had saved a seat for him and he chose to sit by me instead of any other girl.

"Hey." He said.

"Hi!" I said, maybe with just a little too much enthusiasm. He chuckled as he sat down. Some girls that were sitting at a table across from us were calling his name, but he ignored them.

"So, you would rather sit next to me then them?" I asked as I pointed to them.

"Do you want me to sit with them?" he asked getting up.

"No!" I almost yelled. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him back down. He laughed again, the most beautiful sound ever. The rest of the day passed in a blur until the end of the day, because that was the next time I got to talk to Ben.

"Hey Ben."

"Hey Sophia."

"Please, just call me Sophie."

"Okay then, Sophie, do you have any plans on Friday night?"

"No, but I would like to make some."

"Okay then, would you like to go out with me?"

"I don't know…" I said sarcastically, "I may have to decide between you and another emerald green eyed boy….."

"So, that's a yes?"

"Ya, sure."

The next thing I knew our hands were intertwined, and he was leaning towards me lips puckered, eyes closed. As tempting as that was, I just couldn't do it.

"Hey, I, uh, have to get home. So I'll, uh, see you tomorrow. Okay?"

Before he could answer, I was already jogging down the hall. But then, clumsy me, I tripped and fell. My beanie fell off and my ears were exposed to a human.

Well, this is going to be one interesting school year.
