They've known each other since the first grade, when Milo literally rolled into her classroom after tripping on his shoelace in the hall. He rammed right into Bradley Nicholson and nearly caused a riot, that was until Melissa Chase stepped in a slapped Bradley upside the head, much to her teacher's dismay. She then followed a panicking Milo out of the room.
"Hey kid, wait up," she called running after him.
"Please just leave me alone," he squeaked. "It's not safe."
"What do you mean? You tripped, big deal. I trip all the time, no one is perfect."
"No," He cried, turning to face her, which lead to the two of them colliding and falling to the ground. "You see, I hurt you."
She sighed, stood up, and offered him her hand. "I am fine kid, no big deal. Accidents happen, no harm done."
He looked at her hand for a moment, then turned away from her, curling into himself more. "Except if they happen all the time," he mumbled miserably.
She gave him a quizzical look, shook her head, and kneeled down beside him. "I'm Melissa," she stated shoving her hand in front of his face for him to shake.
He eyed her hand, then gave it a small shake "Milo. Milo Murphy."
"Okay Milo Murphy, I don't know your story, but I'd like to. You have character and I like that about you. Not to mention you took down Bradley, the most annoying kid in my class, so I give you props for that. How about you sit with me at lunch today and you can tell me your story, and I'll tell you one of mine, deal?"
He looked her up and down once more, gave her a shy smile, and shook her hand once more. "Deal."
From that lunch period on, the two were nearly inseparable, they became the best of friends that first day, and would continue to be for years to come. But one night, as Milo stood on the opera stage singing, Melissa felt something stir in her stomach, a feeling she saved primarily for stars on the covers of magazines. Never in her life did she think she would feel this way while watching Milo, but there was something about him, it was if she was seeing him in a new light. It worried her, but she applauded and cheered all the same.
Hey everyone, thank you for reading this starter chapter. Let me know what you think of it, I watched Milo Murphy's Law this past weekend and I really feel like Milo and Melissa could really have something, but that is just my personal opinion. Let me know what you all think (please and thank you!) and I'll try and write more when I have time or feel inspired. I'll probably write more tonight because I have ideas that I don't want to leave. I don't know if this story will be a cohesive one, or just a bunch of one-shots thrown together. Let me know what you would like to see, thanks again!
XOXO

P.S. Yes, it is very short, this chapter is just sort of to feel out the waters.
