I have no idea what gave me the urge to post this, probably the constant nagging in my head. This story has been in my documents for a while and it has been orbiting In my mind for weeks so I had no choice but to keep writing. This probably means some of my other updates may take a while but I'm positive in getting them through. I know the actual show is based around the fact that Will and Alicia met in college but I had this idea of what if they met in high school instead? Please review! I desperately NEED to know your thoughts!

The tittle idea comes from an interview of Julianna Margulies where she says "Will was probably her first love" -made my heart stop. All rights go to the writers and creators of the show.

Will

Being a new student at a rather big high school was probably not the best circumstance considering you came from a small school but he seemed to fit in rather well on the first day. Girls were swooning over him and he seemed to make a lot of friends but like his father said once he enrolled "You're going there for the academics, not to make friends." He loved his father, he was a great man but he expected too much of Will and persuaded him to make the 'right choices' instead of making mistakes and learning from them.

He was currently in his last year of high school and it was midyear when he decided to move schools, he practically had his life planned out thanks to his father. Work hard, have a little fun, gain scholarships and get accepted into Harvard University. That was the plan anyway and he was heavily induced in the pressure of passing school which is why he left his old high school and enrolled into one of Chicago's top ones. He never had much interest in girls, he dated a few and slept with one once which was a mistake because he ended up regretting losing his virginity to someone who he never loved and vice versa but that was ancient history even if it was just last year, he was looking forward to focusing on school and making new friends. He applied for all the possible law related subjects, English, Social studies, history, classical studies, economics; it was all boring and a lot of hard work but he had baseball as somewhat of relaxation which he was thrilled with. He arrived to economics rather early with one of the guys he met during form period, he was some baseball blonde haired good guy who kissed his girlfriend a little too much which Will found disgusting. Matt showed Will the loops of the school and also introduced him to some of the cheerleader girls who didn't fancy him all that much. They were currently sitting amongst the class room waiting for the teacher to begin while talking in hushed tones.

"The blonde girl over there, that's Angela, she's a total idiot dude, she's the definition of blonde and we have no idea why she's even doing Economics in the first place" Matt said over Will's shoulder.

"And that guy" Will pointed towards the boy in the corner who seemed to be uninterested in anything other than reading.

"That's Kyle, he's a total geek but all around good guy, he gets bullied a lot by the quarterback team but the guys and I try and help out except there's nothing you can do, really" Will smiled at the other guy, he and his friends seemed like the secondary group of popularise especially because there were many girls whose eyes were laced on them but nothing matched the quarterback team and that was expected.

Will was interrupted by the door opening to reveal a girl who looked slightly flushed with her books against her chest and her car keys in her hand. She seemed average compared to the others, long jeans, sneakers, tank top and a cardigan with long sleek wavy brunette hair and her outfit matched her personality. Will never had much interest in the 'average' tall looking girls after all he also went for the crazy ones but this girl was different. It was almost as if long jeans and sneakers were created for her. She was slim and sexy but it wasn't her figure that intrigued Will the most, it was her eyes. He could tell that they were the kind of eyes that were hazel in the morning then green during the day then back to hazel during the night. Her black hair and green eyes made her porcelain skin stand out and he was slightly fascinated by it.

"And her?" he nodded off towards the girl and noted Matt sigh

"That's Alicia Cavanaugh. She's in her last year as well and is a total smart ass. She's kind of like a geek but doesn't necessarily look like one or hangs out with the rest of them if you know what I mean? She goes out with the 'star' quarterback of the school, nobody really knew why he asked her out but a lot of people think that he's only going out with her so she can do his school work; granted, I've never seen Alicia Cavanaugh do anyone's school work let alone his" he explains and Will is about to ask the name of her boyfriend until he's interrupted by her voice.

"Sorry I'm late Mr Smith, I got held up" a smile spread across the teachers face and Will could clearly tell that she was a pet favourite.

"No problem Alicia, we were just about to get started. How was your holidays?" he asked rather enthusiastically and she smiled widely. Will noted the glimmer in her green eyes and he couldn't help but gaze at it.

"Good thank you! And you?"

"I had a great time, why don't you take a seat and will get started." He gestured towards the only available seat which was in front of Will and as she sat down her hair swayed with her movement. He couldn't help but stare intensely at the back of her head until the girl sitting opposite them leant over and whispered something towards her.

"What took you so long? I tried saving you the seat but Blondie took it. Wait, let me guess, you and 'asshole' were making out in the back of your car?" she teased and Will noted Alicia roll her eyes grinning.

"No! I had to drop my brother off at school and he isn't an asshole Liz!"

"Whatever, I'm just glad you're here, I need you to come to the clinic with me" she replied rather quietly

"You're taking that shit again aren't you?" she asked and Liz just shrugged

"Oh my god Liz!"

"Oh shut up" she grinned and Alicia shook her head in amusement.

"You're lucky I'm your best friend or else I'd leave you on the street" she stated and Liz rolled her eyes

"You'd never do that Leesh.." they were soon interrupted by the teacher and Will gathered himself by sitting up straight and turning his attention back to the front of the class.

"Okay, before we start, I want you all to pair up to study for this term, work's going to be hard, it always is on your last year" he gestured and some of the students already started moving towards their selective seats until the teacher interrupted once again.

"Now wait! I think it would be much better if I select the couples considering last term there was a hell of a lot of commotion with the pairing. You can all partner up with the person sitting in front of you" he stated and Will felt himself pausing as he gazed back at her head. He slowly turned around to face Matt except Matt was already paired up with the person behind him so he turned back and noted Alicia making eye contact with Liz. They both looked rather disappointed and Alicia just shrugged. She gently turned around to face Will and was met with her green eyes and then hesitant smile.

"Hi" she smiled awkwardly and he returned the gesture.

"Hi"

"I'm Alicia" she gestured her hand out and he shook it firmly immediately feeling the soft texture of her skin.

"Will" he replied and she nodded.

"I guess were partners….. Will" she stated and he nodded with a hesitant smile.

"Yea, I guess we are."

30 minutes later the rooms tables were glued in pairs and as much as he tried, he couldn't help but find it difficult to focus on the teacher's words especially bearing in mind the fact that a girl, who he had no knowledge of but was somewhat attracted to was sitting next to him and he couldn't ignore the smell of her perfume.

"So…. this weather here in Chicago sucks big time huh?" he tried to make conversation as their heads were down in books; he noted that they were the only ones reading while everyone else was talking rather loudly and he couldn't help but think it was going to be like this for the rest of the term. He and Alicia doing all the work while everyone else undertaking what he would usually be doing; having fun.

"Actually, I enjoy the rain, it's not that bad really" she replied and he pulled his eyebrows together in conscience. Most of the girls that he's known have mostly hated winter time and obsessively loved summer.

"Really? But it's cold"

"No kidding" she chuckled making him form a smile. "I don't know, I think it's because I love the feeling of waking up in the morning covered with warm blankets" she said and he can't help but chuckle at her words.

"That's…" he started off but she interrupted

"Weird, I know"

"No" he paused gaining her attention as she turned to face him.

"I was about to say that's cool, odd but cool" he replied and she smiled before looking back down and fiddling with her pencil.

"So you're new to this school?" she asked suspiciously and he nodded.

"Yes, I attended capstone at the beginning of the year but my parents wanted me to come here" he explained

"Any particular reason?" she asked and he just shrugged.

"The academics are better and more opportunity's, especially for law"

"You want to study law?" she jumped in and he nodded

"Yeah, well that's the plan anyway. You too?" he asked and she nodded rather enthusiastically

"Yep, I'm looking at Georgetown" she explained

"Have you always wanted to go there?" he asked and by the smile that grew on her features he already received his answer.

"Yep, pretty much. My father went there and it's always been a dream of mine ever since I was a kid"

"You'd make a great lawyer" he stated honestly and she chuckled lightly.

"Yea, well I'd actually have to graduated college to be a lawyer, let's hope that happens"

"Take a compliment" he whispers making her smile genuinely.

"Thank you" she says before turning her attention back to reading and for the remaining of the class he pretends he's reading but in all honesty he's trying to remember the details of their previous words. He notices her attention move to his timetable and she slightly moves over, brushing her forearm with his as she reads the map and points at it.

"You're in all of my classes" she chuckles and he follows her gaze towards the paper.

"Looks like will be together for the year" she says as she begins to pack her belongings.

"I look forward to it" he smiles genuinely and pauses as he makes eye contact with her. He notes her face slightly fall as she eyes him up and down and he can tell that she's thinking the same thing as they gaze into each other's eyes until she quickly moves.

"Me too, it was nice meeting you" she says with a quick wave and rapidly moves towards the door grasping her books against her chest leaving him staring from behind. A light tap on the shoulder is what interrupts him. "Are you ready?" Matt says and he nods whilst chucking on his strap bag.

"You're still keen on applying for the baseball team?" Matt asked as they walked out into the hall and Will nods.

"Yeah, It's the only thing I'm keen for" he replies making Matt chuckle until Amber, his cheerleader girlfriend sneaks up behind him and they start making out in the middle of the corridor leaving Will eager to vomit.

"Babe, you remember Will, I introduced you this morning" Matt points much to her satisfaction

"Yes, Will, I've don't think you've met my friend Quinn, she's been keen to finally meet the new kid" she chuckles and Will notes the other girl from her outfit that she's also a cheerleader.

"It's nice to meet you Will, I heard you practically have all the girls swooning over you" Quinn says and he smiles somewhat awkwardly and instead doesn't reply.

"I'll see you in recess" Matt says to his girlfriend and with a quick goodbye and another gross make out session Will takes the liberty of waving to both the girls as they make their way towards the main office. Once they've finished filling in the forms and talking to the baseball coach Will is about to make his way towards his English class until what looks like a member of the football team and obviously some popular guy interrupts Matt by making short conversation and Will can't help but note the two guys standing beside him in their pathetic football jackets. Will can easily tell by the body language in the guy whose talking to Matt that he has no respect for anyone or anything for that matter.

"Peter, I don't think you've met, this is Will" Matt introduces and Peter eyes Will up and down and the forms a sly grin.

"Oh right, you're the new kid from capstone. Well, welcome to what we call, an actual high school" he laughs alongside his friends and Will scoffs in mockery trying to suppress an eye roll.

Will see's Peter stare at him suspiciously and the adrenaline of punching his face is already circling in Will's body except they're interrupted by a movement behind Peter with a familiar girl slipping up behind him.

"Hey" she beams towards her boyfriend and its then that Will feels like choking on air. Alicia.

"Hey babe" Peter leans in for a kiss and as their tongues entwine his hand travels to her bottom and that's when she pushes him away. Thank god -Will thinks because he doesn't think he'd be able to take any more of it.

Peter slips his arm around Alicia's waist and she turns to face Will, her face falling in awareness.

"Hey!" she says enthusiastically and Will finds himself smiling in mesmerising her eyes once again.

"Hey" he replies and notes Peter pull her closer to his chest.

"You two know each other?" Peter interrupts and they both nod.

"We have the same glasses" she explains and Peter's face falters in somewhat of jealousy.

"Oh okay, I still can't believe you're in those glasses. You deserve to be put up a grade" Peter directs and she rolls her eyes amusingly.

"I can't be put up a grade because there is no upper grade" she grins as she leans in for another kiss and that's when Will really starts to pull away until she interrupts him and tells him to wait for her as they have the same Economics glass and of course he does willingly so as he waits in the corner and waves goodbye to Matt he can easily hear somewhat of their conversation.

"So, my parents are out of town for the afternoon, you should come over" he hears Peter say and can't help but roll his eyes while glancing down at his watch searching for the time.

"Sorry I can't, I have to help Owen with his homework" she says and Peter groans

"Isn't that what your parents are for? You can't always take care of your brother, you have too live a little too"

"Shut up, he's my brother and if I want to stay home with him I will" she says it jokingly and Peter groans once again.

"Fine then, whatever" Will can hear them kissing again until the second bell rings and Alicia turns around the corner smiling generously towards him.

"Thanks for waiting for me"

"No problem"

"So, are you any good at English?" she grins making him smirk

"I'm alright" he shrugs "You?"

"I'm alright" –she replies and he can tell by her intelligent's that she's probably more than alright but decides to leave that for another conversation.

"So, you wanna partner up?" she says with a sly smirk and he seems momentarily stunned by her words but ultimately fails in refusing.

"Is it going to be like this for every class?" he grins and she just shrugs

"Depends on how much competition you're willing to prompt for" she grins and he shakes his head in amusement

"Game on"
