The first time mike laid eyes on her; he knew that she was the one, his one true love. Mike went to McKinley Preschool, with his cousin Tina. Mike's parents were never around much, they were always off with their busy lives, leaving mike to be raised by the housekeeper Bernice. Mike was a happy child who has some close friends by the time he got to 'big school', which in reality was only primary school.
The day was hot, with no chance of cloud cover, not even a single raindrop in days. But it was the best day of Mike's life, at that point in time. He was walking to class with Bernice who dropped him off at school that day, when he first saw her; her mahogany hair trailing like a cape behind her, and carrying a big pink bag on her back. He walked into class saying goodbye to Bernice, and sat down as his usual table, with no one beside him. He looked up at the door to see the teacher escorting someone new into his classroom, she was so pale and shaking that he couldn't help feel sorry for her, when he saw into her eyes, it was like time had frozen and all the air had left mikes' body like he had been punched. As mike stared into her beautiful chocolate brown eyes, he knew he was a goner.

I watched as the love of my life, Bella sat beside me in class, kissing me cheek as she sat down with my group of friends, who all said their greeting to Bella, but I instead sat there smiling like an idiot. Bella and I had been best friends since year 1, and we started going out in year 5, and we have been together ever since. But the year was coming to a close, and Bella and I would be separated for the first time since we had first met in year 1. I would be going to William McKinley High School, across the road from where we were now, and Bella would be going to Carmel High, to join Vocal Adrenaline, the best performing school in Lima. It would be hard not to see each other every day, but we would make do, as she didn't live far away from me, and we could always walk to each other's house if we needed to.
The bell rang, signalling the end of lunch time, so all my friends walked ahead of us, while Bella and I held hands as we walked into class.
************************* AFTER CLASS *********************************************
Bella and I walked out of that class and began to walk home, it wasn't that far away, but we didn't want to prolong the inevitable goodbye before we saw each other tomorrow for our last day of school, before we started high school next year. Bella and I chatted along the way home, and before long we reached Bella's house.
"Goodbye, Bella. I will see you tomorrow, same place... same time" I said before kissing her sweetly on the lips, as she nodded and walked inside. I walked the remainder of the way home, thinking about how I would survive the upcoming year ahead of us, how Bella and I would deal with the separation and not talking every morning as we walked to school. I sighed in sadness before walking inside and greeting Bernice and Marge, our personal housekeepers, as they cleaned the house for my parents arrival in a couple of hours. I walked upstairs to complete the mountain of homework that I knew I had waiting for me, Bella was always scolding me for not doing it as soon as I received it from the teacher... typical Bella, the studious and responsible type she was.
Ever since Bella was little, I knew soon enough that Bella's mother, Renee was a terrible and reckless mother to her, I always knew that the light bill or food bill had not been paid, as Bella came to stay at my house every few days a month, because Renee was always off with guys and spending the money that Charlie, Bella's dad sent for child support. I was happy to have her at my house, and my parents adored Bella as much as I did, so it was no problem. As Bella got older, she started working at a young age, as she was sick of 'interrupting our lives' as she always put it.
