Hey guys I just wanted to do this new story. I have lots of it done and I work on it everyday. I love reviews, even if they are mean. It will help me in the long run right?

Some people say love follows a person everywhere. Others, say love can start early, and meet your true love extremely early in life.
Abby Mills knows this all too well. From the first day of second grade when all the classes combined, her love started early.
Abby was scared. So scared she dropped her pencil on the floor. These were not the same kids she played with on the monkey bars, or the same kids who traded lunch snacks with her. No, these kids were, in Abby's thoughts, the snot nosed kids from across the hallway.
Earlier in the morning, her dad informed her the school was downsizing, and classes were getting larger, considerably larger.
Now, Abby sat alone with her frizzy hair trapped beneath a hair band, with no one she knew, and no pencil. Nikki had been placed in the other second grade class, the only other one.
Abby sat at a two seater desk with her backpack on the other half of the desk. She was saving it for a special person, Nikki, Abby wishes, but sadly not. This special person had not actually been a girl, to Abby's dismay, but in fact a boy.
Ew, Abby thought. At a second grader's mind, boys were gross. She would never understand how her mom is with her dad, who is a boy. Abby could never see herself with a boy in the future.
The boy scared Abby even more when he spoke, holding her pencil out for her. "You dropped this."
With a shaky hand, Abby grabbed the pencil, and with a shy smile, replied, "Thank you."
The boy smiled back. "I'm Jimmy. I was supposed to be in Mrs. Nelson's class."
"I'm Abby. I'm supposed to be in Mrs. Cobb's class."
The boy giggled, suprising Abby even more. "You are." He pointed out the obvious. He started moving around, making Abby think he had ants in his pants.
By the end of silent reading, Abby noticed how he had a nervous fidget about him. He would rub his neck or wring his hands if he got nervous, or even talked to her.
When the teacher announced it was lunch time, Abby all but jumped out of her seat. The one thing that was great about this year: Nikki and her would have the same lunch, and so wouldn't all the rest of the second graders.
The teacher lined up the kids, Abby in back of Jimmy, who explained to her when he spotted her pout, that Mance comes before Mills in the alphabet, then lead them to the lunch line, where Abby found Nikki and ran to her.
"I hate that we aren't in the same class!" Nikki screamed, her blond braids bouncing up and down.
Abby stood next to her, waiting, while she spotted another girl whispering to Nikki. Suddenly, Abby got nervous and didn't understand. Was she talking about her?
Nikki glanced at Abby, then straightened up. "Abby! I want you to meet Kelly! She sits in front of me."
Kelly half waved to Abby, not really caring, or even registering Abby's name.
Nikki, who hadn't seemed to noticed, noticed something else. Something behind Abby. Nikki pulled Abby closer, and whipsered in her ear, "Who is that?" Then side glanced behind the two.
Abby looked behind her, trying to pretend she wasn't really spying. Jimmy stood behind her. not meeting eye contact, but smiled when he noticed the two girls peeking on him.
She quickly turned back around to Nikki, who had a tray full of food and was close to the cashier. Abby rushed to fill hers and stopped next to Nikki.
When both girls paid and sat down on a long lunch table, Nikki turned to her. "Is he your boyfriend?"
Abby's eyes practically popped out of her head. She was thankful though, that Kelly, who recently just sat down across from the girls, didn't hear the conversation.
Abby was about to open her mouth when Jimmy sat across from her, making Nikki kick her foot and smile.
Abby groaned and looked at her spaghetti, wishing Jimmy could slither away like her saucy pasta. She would always remember the first day of second grade to be the first day with Jimmy Mance.
