Chapter 1

I've always wondered what would have happened on that day if I decided not walk to school. Would life still be the same? Or would have it been different?

It was just like any normal first day of school. I was more nervous than most because it was my first year of high school and I got accepted into the best high school in Japan, on a full scholarship! I didn't even think I would get in but I did, and my life changed dramatically after that, after I saw him.

I just happened to come across him sleeping against the giant oak tree. As I walked up to him, I noticed that he was very handsome. Clear skin, long eyelashes, brown hair that fell perfectly on his face, muscular… Before I knew it I could feel my heart racing, although, I didn't have the slightest clue why. There were some leaves in his hair so I decided to brush them off. I tried to do it as gently as I could but, he still woke up. I just stood there frozen. Not knowing what to say. "…Uh…morning…" I managed to say blushing uncontrollably. He just stared at me and I started to feel really awkward.

'BONK!' "OW!" we both said, rubbing our foreheads. That's right, Cute Stranger-that's what I was calling him until further notice- bumped into my head as he was getting up."Sorry about that, my bad." I said, still rubbing my forehead. "No, no it was my fault." He said grinning at me with that perfect smile of his, I started to feel really self-conscious around him.

"Uh… I guess we didn't really make a good first impression huh?" I said giggling nervously. "Yeah I guess we didn't." He said still smiling. "Um… let's start over shall we?" I asked. "*heh* Sure why not?" He said chuckling. My heart beated quicker at the sound of his laugh. "Hi, I'm Subaru, Subaru Ichiyagani." "H-hi, um… I'm uh…" I stuttered. "Your name is Uh? That's a pretty strange name. Well, nice to meet you Uh." He said snickering. "Um uh… my name is… my name is…" " Your name is…?" Subaru beckoned me to go on. "My name is… SARAH!" I said before taking off.

Oh man what is this feeling? Why is my heart beating so fast?
