Preview.

She sighed as she pulled her long red hair into a ponytail. Never pigtails anymore, not after what he said about them. But that didn't matter right now. All that mattered was she could get to school on time. And perhaps get a glimpse of him. Alone.

But that might be hoping for too much. She thought to herself. She sighed again grabbed her uniform blouse and buttoned it up, before pulling the vest over her head. She grabbed her pleated gray skirt and pulled it up. Then she turned and looked at herself critically in the mirror.

Ugh… I have a little belly now… must be from all the ice cream and pizza I ate at the party last night. Ack, I hope I don't get much fatter; I already gained two pounds in the past month!

Meyrin grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulders. She grabbed her socks and pulled them up to her knees and stood up straight. Time for school. And him.

Chapter One – Love at First Sight

Meyrin walked slowly to the bus stop. As always, her mind wandered off to think about a certain dark-haired male.

"Have I ever told you how dazzling you look in these lights?"

Giggling. "Well, they are just normal fluorescent lights, silly."

"Which makes me wonder all the more. How can you be so beautiful anytime, anywhere?"

Meyrin sighed. He was such a romantic. He said things that made her blush. Not that these things were directed at her, anyways.

She flipped her hair over her shoulder and clutched tightly to his hand. "I'm not sure what I should get at the café. Pizza is sooo fattening, you know."

"Fries?" Gets hit lightly on the head. "What?!"

"Have you seen all the oil on them? So gross!"

"But you can spare the extra grease."

He was so innocent. He knew what to say without having to think long and hard about it. He understood. He was so cute and kind.

"Whoo!" Dancing panties!" Gets hit in the head again. "Huh?"

"You're so perverted!"

"I'm sorry. Want a huggie?"

He acted so adorable at times. But he wasn't always just that…

"What did you say to her?" His eyes blazed furiously at the guy in front of him, while she held on to this arm from behind him.

"I said get out of the way. Geez. She's so annoying, taking up space dancing for goodness sakes." Gets punched in the face. "What the hell?! Come over here, shrimp!" The fat guy grasped his bleeding jaw.

"It's okay. Thanks for protecting me, but let's go." She pulled him away.

He could protect you. What better guy could you ask for? Absolutely none. And yet he never seemed to…

A car whizzed right in front of her, the driver honking his horn rebukingly at her.

"Meyrin!"

Meyrin's train of though halted as she turned. "Oh, hi Auel."

"You know you just walked in down a busy intersection. You gotta be more careful." He scolded. Meyrin nodded weakly and continued walking. It was useless to try to think about him now, for Auel would most likely start yapping away, talking of whatever jumped into his brain.

Auel looked over at Meyrin. She's probably thinking of him again. If I talk, she'll just ignore me, and I'll have to ask "Meyrin? Are you there?" Which is quite embarrassing. I'll just keep quiet.

They walked a few minutes in an uncomfortable silence. Meyrin glanced over at Auel. Why isn't he talking? "Auel? Are you mad at me?"

Auel turned and stared at Meyrin. "Mad? Why would I be mad?"

"Cause you haven't said anything at all. Usually you'll talk non-stop."

Auel cocked his eyebrow. "Well, I thought it wouldn't do any good, seeing as you'll ignore me as usual. Why do you always have to be thinking of him? No—Don't deny it. I know you do, everyone does, maybe except for him. Geez Meyrin, I certainly can't see why you like him so much you're nearly in a trance!"

Meyrin's eyes widened, and her face flushed with anger and embarrassment at the reality of his words. "I am not in a trance! You make it sound as if I'm in obsessed with him!"

"You are obsessed! You know, I could almost think you're in love with him!"

"Maybe I am!"

"Wh-WHAT?!" Auel's face turned red. From embarrassment or anger, it didn't show. But Meyrin didn't notice all the same. "In love with him? Come on, be serious! You barely know him! And you… does he even know your name?"

"Well… maybe! You never know if he does or not. And haven't you ever heard of love at first sight?"

Cause that is what it certainly was. From the first day of school when Meyrin lay her purple-gray orbs at him, nothing else preoccupied her mind but him.

Meyrin pushed through the crowded hallway. High school was so different. Gosh, you could barely breathe stuck in this sea of sweaty people. The bell rung, signaling the end of the day. She had to go and catch the bus outside. When she saw him.

He was pushing through the crowd, opposite to the direction she was going. His hair was like the boys in the magazines that she and Stellar drooled over. His dark eyes looked annoyed at the crowd he was stuck in, and his clothes were the usual uniform, yet looked so nicely fit on him. He looked… Perfect. No other word but perfect.

Love. At. First. Sight.
