A crescent shaped moon was glowing through my window with clouds floating off along the very tip of it, South Dakota's not used to seeing that. The moon was midnight blue, not like before when it was round and gold. Following the glowing moon was the misty fog that cluttered up my room. The dewy scent of grass and early morning breezed past me. Finally I descent on to my easeful bed into a deep sleep, and dreamt of the suspenseful day to come.

I awoke to the sound of my buzzing alarm clock that I really needed to get rid of. The time was 7AM, with no desire to get up I rolled around so that I could bury my face into my favorite pillow. The only problem with this was I had to go to school early to get some homework done. So, I miserably got up and dressed, took one look at myself and headed for the door. On my way out my mom said good-bye but she was too preoccupied with her knitting that she just did that out of habit and not because she cared.

As I started my 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse gsx, and instantly had that same feeling someone was watching me. Only problem is, who? I ignored it yet again and put my car in reverse and drove off too school.

Although I knew he would be there waiting it caught me off guard when he stood against the brick building and looked amazing. I've never met him before because he was new, I was suppose to give him a tour of the school out of pity by the school.

All I new about him was he used to live in Lincoln, Nebraska and that he was apart of a wealthy family. I parked my car and got out ,almost tripping as I walked up to him and said hello.

"Hey" he said.

"Hi my name is Ellie." I said as I looked into his dreamy blue eyes.

"My name is Cole." He said with a brilliant smile.

"Are you ready for the tour?" I sounded so stupid when I said that I'm surprised he didn't laugh, just smiled and bobbed his head as if saying let's go. As we entered the big brown doors of our school the scent of the cafeteria filled my head and we began our tour.

"There's the band room and the chorus room."i said while pointing.

It was so awkward for some reason. I couldn't place what it was about him that made every nerve in my body go insane. I ended the tour when the bell rang and thought of something not stupid to ask.

"So what's your first hour class?" i asked, trying to make conversation.

" English." he said so fast i almost didn't relize he was the one who had said that.

"Oh, well sit towards the back he tends to spit." He gave me another smile to die for.

"Thanks" giving me that dazzleing smile.

"anytime" I added a smile and he waved goodbye and left.

As my first period I had began longing for him. I wanted him by my side with me always. My friend Catrina fidgeted in her seat and noticed how unfocused I was.

"Ellie? Are you ok?" Catrina asked.

"Yeah, just thinking."i sighed.

"About?" She tends to be a bit nosey.

"I met this guy, Cole." i said thinking about those few minutes i had spent with him.

"Oh my god, the new guy?!" her eyes were wide.

"Yes!" i squealed.

"He's gorgeous!" she just about screamed.

"I know." i whispered.

I went home and my mom was sitting on the coach watching the news and looked up as i entered.

"everything alright,dear?" my mother's concerned voice only made me more irritated.

"yes"i smiled and walked to my room, that night i dreamt about Cole.

I went to my locker right before lunch and grabbed my afternoon class folder and book. I was so lost in my own world and the neatness of my locker i didn't realize someone was watching me. That whole time i arranged and rearranged my locker trying to not think about him, he'd been standing there the whole time. I hadn't realized till i looked in my mirror. i jumped from the sight of his face. The face I'd been thinking about all day,why did i want, no, need him so much? He was smiling.

"What are you doing?" i asked

" I've been watching you mess around with your locker awhile." he said as if that were normal.

"Was there something you wanted?Are you lost?" i asked.

"yes and no" he said.

"well...uh...what?" i was so confused and still not thinking right.

"yes to wanting something and no to being lost." he said smiling.

"oh well what do you want?" i said.

"well.I wanted to know if.."then he stopped as if rethinking his statement.

"if you were in any of my classes." he said, it sounded like a cover up.

"um i don't know what do you have next?" i asked.

"history,Trig.,then directed study."he stated.

"um yeah im actually in all three of those." i was thrilled to hear he was in my classes but i also had this gut feeling telling me i should run away.

"alright i'll see you there then." i only waved and walked to lunch.
