SORRY IF IT IS BAD. THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT WRITING. PLEASE REVIEW HONESTLY AND YOUMCAN REQUEST THINGS!

"The first day of 10th grade. New adventures, new kids, new romances. Don't you love the mystery and hope? OFCOURSE you do. Especially when hope means hoping for Fabian Rutter!"

She was right. Fabian Rutter had it all. He is tall like me. (Easily he was 6'2", and I'm just at 6 feet.) The wavy brown hair that looked nothing short of amazing in his new hair cut, and Fabian also has the most amazing blue eyes. They are like magnets! He is like, the perfect guy.

"Are you even listening to me!"

"Oh. Sorry Patricia! I just kind of zoned out there. You know how I am..."

Of course she knew. Patricia has been my best friend since 9th grade. She listened to me and accepted me and my weird adventures.

"It's okay, I get how caught up you are on Fabian. It is becoming more and more obvious Nina."

"Patricia! I am not!" I rolled my eyes. Patricia is one of those people who isn't afraid to share what she sees. So what if I liked a guy, isn't that acceptable! I mean it would be weird if I didn't. Just saying.

"Nina. You have been caught up on this guy since he came here last year and sat next to you in science. You need to MOVE ON. It was either you or the one by Mr. Sweet. The choice was an obvious one."

True. But what if I don't want to move on... "You're right. I guess I'm still caught up on something that will never happen."

Whether that was true or not, I knew deep down (and not that deep down) I couldn't give up. Not when our lockers were right next to each other and we had home room together. Things were looking good for me this year! :)

*Ring* *Ring* *Ring*

"We better get to Home room! Talk to you later!" With that I walked down the hallway off to home room. I looked at my schedule, 'Room 209 Mrs. Andrews."

I walked into Mrs. Andrews class room. There he was. Fabian Rutter. He was even cuter than last year... If that is possible.

"Gather round everyone! I will put you in your seats, these will be your seats for the whole year. No exceptions!"

Mrs. Andrews and her red bob had made it all the way around the room until the back corner seat.

Mrs. Andrews the typical expectation for a female teacher. Late 40's early 50's , short reddish brown hair. Oh, and short.

"Fabian Rutter and Nina Martin you will have to be the only table of two. They overbooked this class by two so you two got stuck in that nasty corner over there. My apologizes."

Apologizing? FOR WHAT? Could this really be happening? Omg. I was gonna be in the back corner alone. With Fabian. I might have fainted if I didn't start walking to our secluded table in the corner where I was greeted with a smile.

" Hi Nina! How was your summer?"

My. Lanta. "Hey Fabian, it was good. You know, tanning, volleyball, swimming, friends. Kind of hard to screw that combo up! What about you?"

(Brownie point who knows what movie that's from)

"My summer was good, I missed my friends and school. I missed science class." and them he gave me a wink. I got a wink from the most popular guy in 10th grade. The guy every girl wanted to date... Including me.

So close to fainting.

"Haha, I missed science too. We had some good times didn't we?"

"Yeah. Yeah we did! Here, let me see your schedule and we can see what classes we have together." So I handed him my schedule and he compared our

two schedules for us to realize we had every class together... Accept Athletic divisions of course. For this I was thanking my lucky stars.

We got through all of the home room mumbo jumbo we went through every year. But this year speech seemed different. Felt different. You are probably like WHY? Well, because ever time I looked over at Fabian, he was looking back.

As I was saying, we got through it and walked to English together. On the way we stopped at our lockers and I was quick to notice that Joy Mercer was eyeballing Fabian. She took no time for granted and walked right up and asked him out. She missed the second half of our school year last year, and I had hoped she was gone. But she wasn't. And she wanted my man.

Joy Mercer seemed to be a hit with guys so I was stunned when he said no, turned around and started to walk to class with me. Of course I was happy none the less, but stunned.

The rest of the day passed and then Tuesday, then Wednesday and eventually the first week of 10th grade passed. Fabian and I talked a lot in all of our classes, where we sat next to each other.

Patricia and I hadn't really talked all that much since school started, but when we did it was short. We had only one class together, English. Where she sat in between Fabian and I.

"Hey Nina! Um, I need to tell you something." I almost didn't recognize Patricia's voice.

"Okay, shoot!" I said, Fully NOT expecting these next words.

"Um, you know how you moved on from Fabian?" No. "Well, I kind of like him now..."

I just stood there with my stupid face on mixed with anger and shock. "Oh... Well, um, I never did quite move on. Where did you get that idea?"

"Why didn't you get over him like I told you too! Nina it's not fair, I saw him first. I listened to you talk about him all last year, did it ever cross your mind I wanted to talk? I liked him too. Not just you. It's not all about you." what a b-word.

*Ring* *Ring* *Ring*

Saved by the bell.

I practically ran to Athletics. Which when you think is stupid. Running to go run? Not ideal. But running helped me, it cleared it off my mind.

I gave her the chance to talk plenty of times. Didn't I? Either way I called dibs!

Did she? Um. No. So she needs to back off. But what if he liked her? Of course he would.

Once we left the track field I walked back to my locker, ignoring everyone trying to talk to me. Why did I care so much? I saw Fabian give me a smile and I remembered why.

"Hey there." He said stopping by my jlocker. "I need to talk to you."

*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*

"Well, um. Maybe we can talk later?"

"Oh. Okay."

And I hurried of to our next class, which was English. Great. Sitting next to Patricia and Fabian. Isn't high school great?

Fabian kept staring right past Patricia and into my eyes. Why my hazel eyes? They didn't even match my blonde hair! But then, he winked. Wait. He just winked! At me! Nah.

Once class finished I rushed off to all of my other classes avoiding my locker. Why was I so bewildered by this? It's not like he was gonna ask me out or anything so I shouldn't have avoided him. Right? It wasn't wven a wink... He probably had something in his eye. Probably.

I decided to talk to him. But when I went back to my locker I didn't see Fabian so I left and went home. My home isn't much to talk about. Well it's 3 stories, but my parents are never home. It seems. They come home from 12 and 4 am on Tuesday and Thursday because they have some weird job that makes them fly around the world all of the time. I get Christmas presents from all around the world sure but I would enjoy my parents to actually be there at the house on Christmas.

That night I went to sleep early. 8:30 Ish. I had no homework and just wanted to get to the next day. Ever felt like that before?

I woke up and put on our school uniform. Did I mention I went to a private school? Haha, that is an important piece of the puzzle! Well we do go to private school...

Oh, yeah. So I put on my uniform and skipped breakfast. I wasn't hungry thinking of everything that happened yesterday. So instead I gathered up my laptop backpack and my purse and ran out the door.

My parents already knew I would go to Paul Vista Private so they bought a 3 story house across the street because I would have had no way to get there when they were at work. Not like I'm complaining or anything. I mean I was at school in like... 5 minutes.

When I got there you wouldn't believe who was at my locker. Or his which is right next to mine... But YES! Fabian!

"Hey, about what I was gonna ask you yesterday." he closed his locker and came a little bit closer. Is it possible for a heart to flip out of a chest? If it is, I'm close to it happening. "What I want to ask is, um, will you. Go out... With me?"
