Chapter 1

Willa's POV

I woke up on a Tuesday morning. It was September 2nd, the first day of my junior year of high school. I slowly got out of bed and walked downstairs to eat some breakfast. Got out a bowl and poured Rice Krispies and milk into it. After finishing my breakfast, I went back upstairs and and put on a pair of black jeans and a white sleeveless top with a dark grey sweater and my navy blue low top converse then I brushed my teeth. After looking in the mirror and brushing my hair, I went back downstairs and got my ocean blue backpack and grabbed my car keys and headed out the door. Fifteen minutes later I finally arrived Edgewater High. I locked my car and walked into the building. I already had my schedule so I headed to my first class. I found a seat and sat down as I watched other kids in my grade pile into the classroom. I was starting to get a little nervous because I hadn't seen Philby yet. I kept watching the door...till finally I see him enter the room. My heart started pounding faster as he got closer and sat in the desk next to mine. "Hey," I said. "Hi Wills! First day of junior year, are you excited?" he said. "I'm very excited but it just got much better because you're in my first period!" I say as I smile and blush a little. He smiles and says "Willa, you look very pretty today!" I smile and say "Thanks!" I asked him "Do you have any other classes with me?" We both look at our schedules and saw that we have 1, 4, 7, 8th together. Which I was thrilled! forty minutes later, the class ended and Philby walked me to my second period and then he went to his.
