*AMARYLLIS P.O.V.*

I woke up this morning for one of my days as a sophmore to my little brother Sterling's dog licking my face. What kind of 6 yr. old boy wants to have a Pomeranian as a dog? I tried to pick him up and move him so i can get ready for school but he treis to bite me and growled. I think you can understand why we named him chewie.

I finally showered and got ready for school. I went downstairs to the kitchen to get something to drink. I know today's gonna be a good day because i find my favorite drink in the fridge, OJ. Who doesn't like orange juice? I gulped the rest of the amazing stuff in carton down and kissed my mom and brother goodbye then headed out the door.

I walked a couple blocks from my house and remembered i didn't have my house key on me. I turned around and ran smack into Seth Clearwater.

"Watch it Clearwater!" I say trying to seem annoyed.

"Whats your problem Ryllie? Had a bad morning?" he replies mockingly.

I glare at him and walk back to my house. Why do i have to like him? He broke my heart in 7th grade and i always get butterflies in my stomach when im around him.

*FLASHBACK*

I was at our middle school dance all dolled up in my beautiful blue dress and my long dark brown hair in a bun. I felt so pretty and special knowing Seth Clearwater asked me to the dance. ME! My friends told me i was so lucky and some girls even glared at me with jealousy. I didn't care. I just hoped he would be the one to give me my first kiss. I was dancing with Seth and excused myself when I told him I was going to get punch. I ran to the punch bowl and chugged my drink before any girl could get to Seth. I threw my cup away and turned around to find Seth dancing with Tiffany Bell, the biggest slut in school. To make things worse, he looked right at me when she kissed him on the mouth and started making out with him. I ran out of the gym crying and straight to my house. My mom was in the kitchen crying when i got there saying my dad was leaving us to live in Seattle and would see us on the weekends. I cried myself to sleep that night, vowing that I would get revenge on Seth one day. He tried talking to me the next day, he seemed to get that i was ignoring him and stopped talking to me a month later

*END FLASHBACK*

I got my house keys and started walking back to school again. I passed by one of my best friends, Brittany's, house.

"Hey Brit!" I say as she's going to her car.

"Hey Ryllie. Wanna ride to school?" she's so sweet.

"Sure." i say as i slide into the passenger seat and head off to school.

Seth's POV

Why does she hate me? I ask myself as I walk to school. We're talking one day and the next time i try to talk to her, she ignores me. Like she wouldn't talk to me at all. I even tried our flashlight signal thing we did when she was little and her parents would fight.

I would shine my flashlight 4 times meaning "Are you okay?". Her usual response is 2 flashes "no" I would try and draw something silly or a smile and giggle to brighten her beautiful tear-streaked face. We stopped doing that a couple years after her father left and around the same time she stopped talking to me. Wait, did I just call her beautiful? Yuck. She hates me and I hate her. At least that's what I try to convince myself when I think about her. I spot Brady and Collin, my 2 best frinds walking to school also.

"YO!" I yell when im a couple feet behind them. I think they heard me considering i was right behind them.

They turned around and yelled "MAMA!" Making me jump, startled.

They started laughing and i finally joined in, today would be a good day at school.

I don't get why we have English class. I mean, most of us know English, we don't need to be all proper or anything. Don't even get me started on all these boring books we have to read. Luckily, Amaryllis is in this class. She makes it so... not boring.

"Seth?" Mrs. Cohen says.

"Wh-yes?" I reply dumbly.

"Why did Odysseus say he was nohbody after he stabbed the cyclops in the eye?"

"Um... because nohbody was the name of his imaginary friend."

The whole class started laughing, but i heard only one soft chuckle.. Ryllie. Mrs. Cohen gave me the death glare and the bell rang.

"Seth, I need to speak with you." Aw, crap. I walked over to her desk slowly.

"Your behavior in here is unacceptable, and your going to fail this class if you dont get your grade up."

"What? My moms gonna kill me! What can I do to bring my grade up?"

"Well, you can do 25 hours of community service and type a 500 word essay on your experience."

" i dont know where i could go though."

"I know a place you could go. Its a dog shelter I used to go to, i could call and see if you can go there."

"Thank you so much Mrs. Cohen."

"Yeah Yeah. I just don't want to deal with you in summer school."

I smiled and walked out of the classroom. The rest of the day was pretty normal to say the least. I walked home with Brady and Collin and dropped them off at their houses. I was walking home thing about this dog shelter. It must have been pretty old, knowing Mrs. Cohen went there. I turned the corner and knocked over something and papers flew everywhere. I looked down into Ryllie's eyes.

*AMARYLLIS' P.O.V*

I wonder what Mrs. Cohen had to talk to Seth about. I couldn't help but laugh when he said Nohbody was and imaginary friend. I mean, seriously? Thats Seth for you. I hurried to math class. On my way to math, i bumped into Tiffany Bell.

"Watch it bitch!" she hissed as i apologized. She wants to get slapped one day doesn't she?

I almost walked into class late. I LOVE math. Weird nerd here right? Well whatever, its something im kinda good at. The classes passes pretty quickly and before i knew it, school was over.

"Hey Ryllie, wanna come over?" My other best friend Nicole asked.

"No thanks, I've got a ton of homework to do tonight." i said awkwardly holding my 3 large textbooks.

"Oh okay, see you tomorrow then."

"Thanks for asking though."

" No prob" She said smiling and walking away.

I checked that i had all my notebooks and started walking home. Of course, almost home, i forget my Spanish notebook. Wonderful. I turned around and bumped into something hard. Me being clumsy, fell back and my books and notebooks flew in different directions while i fell on my butt. I was stunned to see Seth gathering all my books and offer his hand to help me up.

"Are you okay?" he said, his beautiful brown eyes widened.

"I'm fine!" i snapped getting up myself.

Being the sweet gentleman he is, he helped me carry my books home.

"Sorry about that" he apologized quietly.

"Its okay, I cant help but be clumsy" I smiled.

"Yeah haha i remembered you would always get hurt when we were little."

"Yeah" Cue awkward silence. We were wight outside my house.

"Well I gotta go" i said as he handed my books to me. His hand brushed against mine, leaving a tingling feeling in my fingers. He must of felt it too because he blushed and quickly said bye and walked away. I got home and started my homework then right away on dinner. My mom isnt the greatest cook in the world. I actually finished my homework and was adding the sauce to the spaghetti when my mom and sterling got home. We all ate dinner and when i finished, i went to my room to listen to music. Taylor Swift was playing when i started drifting off to sleep. My last thought was Seths pretty Brown eyes and his smile before i blacked out.
