PROLOGUE

Steven's High School was like any other American high school. Pretty big, boring, and full of people; good and bad. Of course, that's how Sara thought of it. She and her dorky friends were kind of a separate race of people to the others around her; In other words, they were considered freaks. But Sara didn't care anymore. Being in high school, you know that there's no going back now.

Sara was kind, smart, and known for being a little shy. But with her friends, she was a whole different person. She was confident, funny and sarcastic, but everyone who knew her loved her.

What she didn't know, however, is that someone was going to come into her life with a lot of love to give. But there's one problem; She is TOTALLY clueless about that kind of stuff.

"Sara, did you get the math homework done?"

The petite brunette shrugged sheepishly.

"Heh, no...I stayed up last night watching anime again..."

Her friend sighed.

"I just don't understand how you manage to pass all those classes you take...I swear, you're the queen of cramming."

Sara laughed. Sam was a great friend, but right now she was being a total hypocrite. Like she ever did her homework. And she was also in advanced English. But...she was barely maintaining a C average. Ha.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Anyway, have you seen Maddy anywhere? She said she had something important to tell me...wonder what it was?"

Sam pulled her coat off the rack, then picked up her bag.

"I dunno. I haven't seen her all morning. But I bet if you wait here for a while she'll show up. I'm gonna go put my project in the chemistry room, but I'll be back. See you!"

Sara waved to her as she left the room and sat down in a desk, taking out her math homework. Might as well get started, she thought.

Just then she heard footsteps behind her, and she looked up. Walking through the door of the classroom was Maddy, her short blond hair bouncing with her steps. Behind her though, was someone else, someone Sara had never seen before. He was probably the same age as she, with strange white hair cut just above his shoulders. He smiled warmly at her. Maddy beckoned her over.

"Sara, this is Allen. Allen Walker. He's new here and the principle asked me to show him around. He's from Britain!" Maddy explained excitedly.

Sara smiled back at him cutely and held out her hand. The young man took it gratefully.

"Nice to meet you!" he exclaimed.

Sara blushed slightly and nodded.

"Um, ditto..." she stuttered nervously. What is this feeling? She thought. He was quite handsome, she had to admit. But she had never felt this way before.

Allen looked around the room, obviously looking for a place to sit, and he just happened to pick the one next to Sara. Not to her dismay of course.

Maddy sat behind her and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Can you come with me for a sec?" she whispered.

Sara nodded and muttered a "be right back" to Allen, then followed her friend out of the room.

"Ok," Maddy said when they were out of earshot. "I need you to show Allen around for me today. It's Mom's birthday today and we're all leaving school at lunch time to go out to eat. The principle didn't seem to know about it, so I just went with it when he told me about Allen. Besides, I knew I could always count on you for help. So would you mind?"

Sara's eyes widened.

"B-but, I've never been alone with a boy before! Please don't leave me! I wouldn't know what to say-"

Maddy stopped her with a pat on her shoulder.

"It's all right silly. I think you and him can really get along! He's so sweet; you'll like him a lot. It would be way better if you stayed with him than if I did. And you'll be fine; he's a really nice guy!"

Sara sighed in defeat. She knew there was no way out of this one.

"A-all right..."

"Whoo! Thanks a bunch Sara! You're a really big help! Now, I've gotta go to the office to tell them I'm leaving. Have fun with him! And remember; you'll be fine."

And with that, she was gone, leaving Sara standing there dumbfounded. Her, with a boy? And he's so cute! He's probably going to be asking lot of questions...Sara wasn't very good with that sort of stuff...but she'd have to deal with it.

With a deep breath, Sara turned around and re-entered the room, heading straight to him. This was going to be interesting.
