Can you PLEASE review? I need to see what you think of it! XOXO- Maria 3

As soon as I regained control of my thoughts, I was able to speak. "Logan?" This could not be happening. And yet, I knew deep in my gut that it was.

"Maria?" He said in disbelief. "What are you doing here?"

"umm… I've kinda been going here since the beginning of the school year. What are YOU doing here?"

"I moved," he said sadly. "My dad couldn't afford the apartment in the city."

"I'm so sorry," I said. "Well, at least you have me."

"yeah, I do," he said shyly. AWWWWWWW! I then walked over and sat right next to him.

"so…. You owe me an explanation for running away like Cinderella," I said, smirking.

"Uhhh, yeah. About that… uh, there was this man that's been following me and my sister around. We lost him at Times Square, but then he found us. My sister saw him and flipped out, so we had to run away from him." I could tell from the very first words that he was lying.

"you know that you're a terrible liar, right?" I teasingly said.

"I'm just trying to protect you," he mumbled, startling me.

"From what?"

"reality," he simply said. "I feel connected to you, and even though I just met you, I can't lie. I can't get you out of my head. And I can't lose this."

"Same," I said, referring to our chat in Times Square. He smiled, and then we leaned in. It was exactly like I thought it would be: it was sweet, and made me melt. It was full of promise, one of trust and prospect. I guess that made me finally realized that my wish that I made in the Disney Store truly came true. That was the day I vowed I would never take this beautiful leather charm necklace with my scallop charm off. EVER.

After this minute of bliss, we both went up for air at the same time. Looking into those beautiful eyes, staring back at mine, I can't tell you how bright the sparks between us were.

As the rest of the class assembled, everyone gazed curiously at the new boy. They would come up, introduce themselves, say hi, and then sit down. He would say hi, be friendly and laugh at their icebreakers, and say that it was nice to meet them.

One girl, Jill, was attempting to flirt with him, sitting on his desk and trying to seduce him. But he would just smile at her and then start staring at me. And I was loving every second of it. I have to admit it was almost a test, seeing as Jill was probably the prettiest person here. But she wore too much makeup, wore short-shorts in the middle of winter, and, to say the truth, tried way to hard. It showed me just how into me he truly was. Which sorta made me feel like a million bucks. Meanwhile, Jill just hmmphed and strutted away, whipping her hair in his face.

After that amazing period, Logan and me walked together to the main building. You see, we're in the agricultural program, which has two buildings. One of them's the farm, and the other is the main high school. After our lesson in the farm, we have to walk a short distance back to THS.

"So I'm still confused about how you got here. You say that you moved?" I asked, curious.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Well, it's just that there are no late admissions for this program. So, technically you shouldn't be taking this course right now."

"Really?" he said, frowning. "It was just in my schedule."

"You know what? I'm not complaining," I declared. "Oh, and since you brought up your schedule, let me see it." He quickly took a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to me. I quickly scanned it, and said, "Wow! You have all of my classes! AND you're in my homeroom."

"I guess fate is kind," he said smiling, taking my hand. We stopped and stared in each other's eyes. And after a minute of staring into them, I broke away from his stare and, beet red, we continued walking to the build, fingers laced together.

Our Spanish teacher, Senora Collins (I know right, REALLY Spanish), made a huge fuss over him. She essentially spent the whole period trying to coax out every single little thing about him, while he just sat there and politely answered the questions. Meanwhile, I, who saw his discomfort, was laughing at his 'I'm so out of place and don't want to talk to you' vibe. I still can't believe that he's here. I know that it can't be a coincidence: that he was here for something. Even though I should just be grateful for him being here, I can't help but be curious. I push the thought out of my mind, deciding to be cautiously optimistic.

There was also the sparks. Were we taking it to fast? I mean, we already kissed and we haven't gone out! I don't even know his last name. For all I know, this relationship, if I can even call it that, is moving so fast. And that that speed was kinda unnecessary. Right as I was pondering this, the bell rang. I rose from my chair, picked up my backpack, and waited for Logan. But he was zoning out, not paying any attention to anything.

"Helloooo? Earth to Logan?" I said jokingly. He automatically stood up.

"Oh yeah, sorry about that. I tend to zone out a lot," he said. "Let's go." When we left the classroom, he turned to the left.

"Uhhh… Logan?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, you're kinda going in the wrong direction." He blushed, then followed me down the staircase.

"Psh, I wasn't going in the wrong direction. I was just taking a circuitous route," he said, smiling.

"Well, if your route involves jumping from the window onto the sidewalk, breaking your legs in the process, then, by all means, take it. Whatever makes your world go round."

"Nah, I think I'll stay with you." AWWWW. Seriously, if he says anymore phrases like that my heart will legit melt.

The rest of the day was filled with such moments, but otherwise uneventful. The bus ride, well, that's a whole other story.
