Chapter 1

(Beatrice Speaking)

It was the first day of high school and of course I hated having to go through the morning routine.

I mean what kid wouldn't?

But it was the first day in my life I was glad I did it.

I happen to be one of the people who aren't cool, but don't suck.

I drive a mini cooper the color of my eyes which are a sandy golden color.

The roof roles down, so i take it to the beach alot.

People think shes odd, but she is my baby, my little "Ciera".

All the cool people have a boyfriend/girlfriend, and of course the awesome cars.

Still not as cool as Ciera, but still something to make everyone (but me) drool over.

All the other kids are supposed to want to be like them, to practically worship them.

Let me tell you something.

I do not want to be like them.

Of course I want to have a cute guy of my own (not going to give Ciera up for him though).

He just hasn't shown up at our school.

Yet...

Today started out as any other normal, extremely boring school day.

I went to my homeroom and listened to the same old announcements that we listen to every year.

Our teacher "Mrs. Delesia" told us a new student to this school district, to this country, was supposed to be arriving any minute.

As she was mentioning him and saying to be nice to him he walked in.

I swear even the boys were staring.

He was a hunk of a guy.

If one word was written on him it would be on the solid gold abs that i caught a glimpse of when he had walked into the room.

The perfect word for him would totally be sexy.

His skin was like a golden ray from the sun shining down on him gently bathing him in warmth.

His wrestless totally blonde hair hung so that it fell over his left eye alittle, so that everyone could only see a glimpse of his deep ocean blue eyes he had.

He saw everyone staring and gave of a multi–billion dollar smile that was pointed straight at me.

It felt like he didn't see me as some poor girl but as i really was.

Making my life feel complete.

But that couldn't be.

He was probably only looking at me because i was different from all of the better looking kids.

Right?

The teacher quickly let him introduce himself as "Bryan."

Then the bell rang and all hell broke loose.

All the boys asked him about sports, the girls were drooling over him, and the teacher was on the floor screeching like a monkey from being pushed over.

I was the one who walked out trying not to catch his attention.

But of course thats not what happened.

What happened is one of the snotty girls tripped me, my stuff fell on the floor right by his feet.

I quickly bent down to pick it up and found him doing the same.

The girls who were giggling in the back of the room stopped.

They seemed to see that they were setting me up with their future husband while trying to embarrass me.

Thank you, Carma 3.

He gave me a small smile, and I got a better view than i could have imagined of those deep ocean blue eyes.

I noticed I was staring and started to pick my stuff up again.

I was blushing so hard, and I noticed he was too.

"Hi, I'm Beatrice," I said," Uum, I'm sorry about my klutziness."

He laughed.

"No problem, and i'm sure it wasn't your klutziness that caused us to meet," he said charmingly.

For some reason I actually gigled which made his eyes gorgeous eyes glimmer a deadly blue.

He noticed he was staring, and handed me my stuff.

"If i may ask, who is your next teacher?" he asked politely.

"Well, on my agenda it seems I have Mr. Grimmer. Who do you have?" I replied.

He quickly looked down at his agenda to keep himself from staring again.

"It seems I have the same. Would you mind if I walked to class with you?" he asked with a vulnerable look in his eyes that hypnotized me.

I barely got the words out of my mouth, but managed to say, "Why that would be wonderful," in one of those love at first sight voices those girls use on TV.

As we started heading towards the door I felt like I was gliding on air.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw everyone stare at us (the teacher included).

I couldn't help but smile.

I guessed my life would be a lot different.

I really had no idea how true that would become.
