Chapter 1

Seventeen year old Holly Grissom stretched and gave a relaxed sigh. She had just finished her studies of the entomology textbook she had been reading. She put it in her bag and, noticing the time she left the library. She began to head to her next class, her mind wasn't on class however, she was thinking about an incident that had occurred a year ago. A year ago she had been dating Mark Wallace, a boy who abused her until she finally found the courage to tell her family and report the matter to the police. Mark was now in prison and she was safe. Her thoughts then wandered to her closest friends. At the end of last year Sharon and Yuri had graduated and were now at college, they had moved out and were now sharing an off campus apartment together. Tonya, Sam and Susan were still at school too, along with Holly. Sam was still dating his girlfriend Tara Williams, although according to Tonya things were becoming rocky between them, especially since Tara seemed to be becoming possessive and stopping Sam from being with them. She sighed, so far, despite their best efforts, only Sharon and Yuri had ever had a happy relationship together. Sam and Tara had been happy initially but if Tonya was right, it looked like they were heading downhill.

She was so distracted by her thoughts that she didn't look where she was going and walked into someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry." She gasped, "Are you okay?"

"It's fine, I'm fine." The figure replied.

Holly looked at the person she had walked into. The figure she had run into was a young man the same age as her. He had short rather neat dark hair and black eyes, his manner of dress was casual and he smiled at her.

"I'm fine," The boy replied, "Are you okay?"

Holly nodded; she bit her lip as she observed him.

'He seems quite nice...He's also pretty cute, good looking.' She thought before catching herself, 'What am I thinking, I've just met him. Get a grip Holly.'

The boy tiled his head to the side and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked.

Holly nodded, "Y-yeah, I'm fine, sorry."

He smiled again.

"I'm Alexander Metaxas." He introduced himself, "But you can call me Alex, everybody does. Only mom and dad call me Alexander."

She smiled and nodded, "Nice to meet you Alex, I'm Holly Grissom."

They shook hands, both smiling. Alex casually observed the girl.

'She's cute...but, maybe I should get to know her better.' He thought, 'She seems very nice, a little edgy though.'

Holly shifted slightly and pushed her hair behind her ears before speaking again.

"Well, I've gotta get to class. Maybe we could meet up after school."

Alex agreed and they both headed to class.

Holly sat in class, thinking about the boy she had met, Alex Metaxas. Going from his last name and his accent she guessed he was Greek. She couldn't deny that he was good looking but she wasn't exactly sure how she could say anything about it. Especially since she was still recovering from her disastrous relationship with Mark. However she knew Alex was a nice guy from his actions and the way he had acted so far. Finally, when school was done she met up with Tonya and Susan.

"Hey guys." She greeted them, she looked around. "Where's Sam?"

Tonya scowled.

"That Tara showed up and led him away before he could complain." She stated, Susan sighed and added, "Again."

Holly rolled her eyes. She just wondered how long it would be before Sam would snap. Tara might have been the equivalent of a blonde hottie but Sam cared about more than looks when it came to girls.

"Hi Holly."

She jumped and spun around. The others looked up; Holly smiled when she saw Alex.

"Hey." She replied, "C'mon I'll introduce to the others."

Tonya and Susan smiled as they saw the look in Holly's eyes. Alex smiled and greeted the other two girls cheerfully.

"This is Tonya Stokes and Susan Kennedy, my cousins." She explained.

"Nice to meet you." Alex stated, "So, are you two Holly's only friends?"

Tonya shook her head.

"My brother Sam was supposed to be here, but his girlfriend's dragged him off somewhere. Plus my cousin Sharon, Susan's sister, she's in college now with her boyfriend Yuri."

Alex nodded in understanding and turned back to Holly.

"Holly, I'm sorry to mention it." He stated, "But I noticed that, you seemed to be...nervous about something."

Holly gulped but shook her head.

"It's nothing really; I'll tell you sometime but...Right now I've gotta hurry home." She explained truthfully, she turned to Susan and Tonya. "I'll see you both tonight."

They both nodded and Holly left. Alex was confused.

"I can see you're confused Alex." Tonya stated, "Susan and I know what's going on, but...it's not our place to say."

Alex nodded.

"Okay, I get it." Susan smiled, "Don't worry, she'll tell you when she's ready."

Alex accepted this and they all returned home. Tonya and Susan had to get ready, they were all going to a special dinner with the Kennedy's, Sharon and Yuri would be coming home to visit and join them for dinner.
