Usually I didn't really care that much about what I wore to school or how I looked, but for some reason today I felt like maybe putting a little more effort. So instead of my usual pair of baggy jeans and t-shirt, I decided to wear my dark blue skinny jeans that showed of my hips pretty well, my pink shirt with black lace that was low-cut, a pair of flats, and my black leather jacket. I never really dressed like this before for school, but I thought that maybe for today I could give a new look a shot.

"April I'm home." I heard my mom say as she walked through the door, oh shit I was so focused on what I wanted to wear that I forgot to make sure that my mom was home already. I didn't really want to explain why I was wearing different clothes to school.

"Hey mom I thought you would have already been in bed, it's past seven." I tried acting cool as I walked into the kitchen and grabbed some cereal. Hopefully she would be too exhausted from work to pay any attention to me or my outfit.

"Yeah I would have gotten off earlier but the nurse that releases me called around four saying that she was having car problems and would have to wait until her husband showed up from work so he could bring her. So I didn't get off until about fifteen minutes ago, but the real question is why you are dressed like that?" She asked as she walked into the kitchen and pointed at my outfit, while I ate my cereal.

"Well I thought that maybe I could give a new outfit a shot for today, why do I look bad or something?" I was starting to feel self-conscious again when she pointed out what I was wearing. I know for some girls dressing like this wouldn't really matter to them, shit some girls would probably consider it a simple outfit. But I'm use to going to school in sweats or baggy jeans, with a regular t-shirt, and sneakers. I didn't really want to stand out that much in front of people; I hated being the center of attention.

"Nothing much, I just decided to try a new look for today. It's no big deal really I mean you've seen me wear this outfit before." I said with a simple shrug of my shoulders like it really wasn't that big of a deal.

"Yes I have seen you dress like that but only on the weekends when it's us hanging out, never once have you worn anything like that to school at least not in the past two years. You wouldn't by any chance be dressing like this for a boy would you?" She had a point there, another thing that changed about me when Jasper left my life. People might think it's crazy that I let one guy effect my life but I really loved him and had never once thought that there could be a possibility of him leaving my life.

"No mom there is no boy that I'm trying to impress, please don't think anything big about it alright."

"Ok yeah sure honey whatever you say, but please remember that if there is anything you have to talk about you can always talk to me. I know that I'm your mom, but that doesn't mean you can't confide in me when needed alright." She said with a smile, and I couldn't help but smile back and give her a big hug.

"Mom I know that I can come to you when needed and I promise you that right now everything is fine. But I promise that the minute I need some advice I promise to come to you, there is no one else I would trust me."

"Well I'm happy to hear that honey and I would love to keep on talking some more but I think it's time you got going." With that I gave her one last final hug, grabbed all my things and headed towards school.

When I finally got to school I'm pretty sure I sat in the parking lot for about five minutes over thinking everything again like usual. There were a few times when I actually considered going back home and changing out of these clothes, even it meant me being late to class. Finally when I realized that there was only about ten minutes until class started I figured it would be a good time to get out of the car. As I walked through the quad I realized that nobody was looking towards me, which actually made me feel a little good, I guess it doesn't matter what you wear once invincible always invincible. Now usually I enter d-hall, where my locker is, through the back but today I walked through the front and boy was that a huge mistake. As soon as I walked inside I ran right into someone, literally, that was coming out and it caused me to drop my binder and all the papers that were inside of it. Like usual instead of helping people chose they rather laugh at the girl down on her knees. I was picking up about half the papers when I saw another pair of hands reach out and grab the rest. At first I was worried that they would throw them in the garbage, since most of the papers were my homework.

"Here you go, I believe you dropped these." When I stood up I realized that the hands belonged to a guy, a very good looking guy. He was tall, at least six feet, had a little up spiky black hair, caramel skin, brown eyes, very obvious biceps, and a beautiful white smile. It took me a minute to realize that I was probably staring at him like a love struck teenager.

"Oh yes, uhm thank you. You didn't have to help me." I grabbed the papers and shoved them into my binder while I gave my thanks. I didn't really know what else I was supposed to do, so I started playing with my shirt a little and looked down at my shoes.

"Hey it's no problem, especially since it was kind of my fault that you dropped them all." I was a bit confused I thought the person I had run into was walking outside.

"How is your fault, I ran into someone who was walking outside and clearly you're not outside."

"Oh I was going outside, but then I saw you fall and saw that no one was helping you. I'm not like an amazingly sweet guy or something but at least I'm nice enough to help a girl when she needs it." I couldn't help but laugh a little, seeing as he just completely contradicted himself.

"So let me get this straight you didn't turn around to help me because you're a nice guy, you did it because you like helping a girl when she needs it? But you're not a nice guy right?" I asked with a smile on my face and this time it was him who started laughing.

"Yeah I know sounds like a contradiction right, but hey that's what makes me so awesome."

"Oh ok, so first you are not nice guy nice guy and now you are also a bit conceited."

"Oh no not conceited I just know my worth and I know I'm definitely someone getting worth to know better."

"Oh yeah and why should any person take the time to get to know you better?"

"Well I'm not sure why someone else should, but I know you should. Want to know why because we've been talking for about one minute and not once have you stopped smiling. Not to mention you went from shy to openly flirting in about fifteen seconds." I don't know what it was about this guy, but I liked the way he was talking. I also liked the fact that he was right, I mean I did go from feeling nervous to basically flirting in only a few seconds.

"Well I guess you don't make a bit of a good point there. But see I'm not the type girl who just goes around getting to know random guys, I at least gotta know your name first." I said with a smile, which I hoped looked cute and not weird or something.

"Now that's something I comply with, my name is Seth Clearwater and what's your name beautiful." I'm pretty sure that a giggle actually left my mouth when he said that. This is so embarrassing and also weird because I have not giggled in years.

"Well it's very nice to meet you Seth, my name is April Gonzales." I said as I shook the hand that he held out. Now I'm not great at the whole flirting with guys thing, but isn't shaking hands more of like a friendly gesture and not a I think you're hot and want to date you.

"Well look I would love to keep standing here and talking to you some more, but seeing as we only have about four minutes to get class I'm guessing that's not really a possibility at the moment." There it was, I knew there was no way a guy that looked like him could find me even a smidge attractive. I'm pretty sure now was the time were he was probably going to say something like, but you do seem like a nice girl and maybe I'll see you around some time.

"Yeah so I guess I better get going, have to put away some of my books." Just as I started walking away, he grabbed my hand to make sure that I stopped walking.

"Wait I wasn't saying that I didn't want to hang out or anything. You seem like an interesting girl to me and I would like to talk more. I know it might seem since you don't know me but would you be willing to meet in the court yard during lunch, maybe meet at the table behind the stage." Wow was he really asking me to join him for lunch and in public? A big part of me said say no, just go to lunch in Ms. Smith room like you usually do, but then I'm also tired of constantly taking the safe route. I deserve to take a risk every once in a while.

"You know what I'd love to join for lunch. I'll be there Seth." I said as I started walking away but this time backwards so that I could look at him.

"Great I'll see you there April, and do me a favor remember to bring that smile alright." I couldn't help but laugh at the corny line that he chose to use. I gave him a small smile and gave him a wave goodbye. I can't believe that I actually just agreed to going on a lunch date with somebody that I met like five minutes ago. I think I must be going brain dead or something right about now, why else would I have lunch with a guy that I barely even know I mean I didn't even find out how old he is. How do I not know that he isn't just a really good looking freshman?

During my next three classes I spent more time focusing on the thought that I had a lunch date then what we were actually learning. It's a good that I barely ever talked in classed, so none of the teachers realized that even though I was writing notes I wasn't really paying attention to what they said. It didn't really matter much I could easily review them when I got home or something, I usually did that anyway. After my economics class I wasn't sure if I should head straight towards lunch or take my time and swing by my locker first. I decided that since my last class was in c hall than I had plenty of time to go to my locker and that way I wouldn't risk looking desperate. After I switched my morning books for the ones I used in the afternoon, I started walking toward the spot Seth mentioned, I really hope he showed up and didn't just stand me up. I was almost at the table when I could see that Seth was in fact sitting there waiting for me; as soon as I saw him I let out a huge breath and started walking a little faster.

"Hey there you showed up, for a second I was worried that you had stood me up or something." He said with a smile that showed all of his lovely teeth. I couldn't help but smile back, and I'm pretty sure that a small blush crept onto my cheeks.

"I don't know what would make you think that I would stand you up, if anyone should have been worrying about being stood up it should have been me." I said with a small smile while I pushed my books closer to my chest. I'm pretty sure I looked like a scared kid not sure what I should be doing, which technically is true since I've never really dated anyone, other than Jasper.

"I have a hard time believing any guy would be stupid enough to stand up a girl as beautiful and sweet as you." If I wasn't blushing before than I was definitely blushing at this very moment.

"Yeah well that might be because you caught me on a unique day, you usually wouldn't see me dressed like today, and what makes you think that I'm sweet girl I could be a complete bitch for all you know."

"How do I know you're sweet because I've only known you maybe ten minutes all together but I can already tell that you are a person that likes to smile, the blush on your face tells me that you are a shy girl, and personally you could be wearing a trash bag and I would still say that you are beautiful. "

"Why would you say that I was beautiful in a trash bag?"

"Because to me beauty isn't made by the clothes that you wear. I know you're beautiful because of the smiles that won't leave your face and the fact that even though I can tell your shy, I can also see a bit of sass in you, once you're comfortable."

"You must consider yourself a pretty observant guy if you can figure out those few things from just knowing someone for I don't know about ten minutes."

"Well actually I do consider myself a pretty observant guy, and I promise to let you know what else I think about you right after we grab something to eat, because I'm also a pretty big guy who loves to eat some grub." I started laughing while we walked towards the cafeteria.

"Well I can see that you are definitely huge in some aspects." I can't believe I really just said that right now, what the hell is wrong with me right now.

"Oh you're right about that I am a huge guy, but wanna know something there are certain other parts of me that are even bigger." Oh holy shit what the hell was I supposed to say to that right now. I guess it technically is my part for having said that whole you are huge thing. But I'm also not that big of a flirt so I wasn't sure what the best thing to say in this situation.

"Right I'm sure it is pretty big, but isn't that something that someone who was the opposite would say." I said with a smirk that just got bigger when his jaw dropped a little. Well I guess I did kind of choose the right words, and just when I was about to walk into the cafeteria he grabbed my hand and pulled me through the doors that led outside.

"Hold it I thought you said you were hungry, I'm not sure what you think but most foods are located inside the cafeteria not outside in the parking lot." I said while we walked through the parking lot.

"Yes I know that but you see the food in the cafeteria is kind of disgusting and is in no way filling. This is why we are going to go the pizza place located across the parking lot."

"Even though Pizza does sound good that place takes like 40 minutes to have it ready and we only won't have enough time to actually eat."

"You see I did think about that, which is why I took a bathroom break during my last class and called them in advance. While I waited for you I called them again and our pizza is already cooked and just waiting for our mouths."

"Well that was really nice of you to do, I kind of am tired of eating cafeteria food I actually get scared that one day it might make me sick." I did think it was sweet of him to go out of his way to order our lunch in advance and the good part was that whenever you want to go outside to eat security usually cards us because only juniors and seniors are allowed to go off campus, so I know he has to be at least sixteen. As soon as we walked inside the pizza parlor I went to go get us a table while he went to go grab the medium pizza he had ordered. When he brought to the table I let out a smile because he ordered a peperoni, sausage and bacon pizza which is my favorite.

"Judging by that smile I take it you must like this type of pizza."

"Yes it's actually my favorite pizza to order here whenever I come."

"Well not only a smart girl but one that also clearly has good taste in food. I don't know if anyone has ever told you this but the way to a man's heart is through his stomach."

"You know I think that I might have heard that at some point in time. I remember when I was younger my dad would always say don't ever listen to a girl that says eating salads will make you look hot to a man. A girl that can attractive and chow down a lobster, steak or even a giant burger and fries is a hundred times more attractive." I said with a smile was I took a bite of my first piece, I couldn't help the small moan that came out of my mouth it had been so long since I'd eaten pizza here. My mom doesn't really like me eating that much junk food since now we have the money to afford more groceries and any time she sees me eat fast food I get an ear full.

"Well damn your dad is a smart guy because trust me any guy would love a girl that moans like that from one slice of pizza."

"Yeah and why would a guy find that so attractive in a woman?"

"Simple because it shows that she has a good taste in food and it will also make them wonder how they could you to moan like that again but for a lot longer." I immediately started blushing a whole lot more; I have a hard time believing any guy would make an attempt at getting me to moan.

"Ok well I'll let you know when I meet the guy who tries to get me to moan some more."

"Well why tell me when that guy might be sitting right in front of you." I couldn't help but smile for some reason his cockiness and flirting was a bit attractive. I usually never talked to guys like this but with him it just felt easy and natural.

"For that to be true he would have to be an incredibly lucky guy, because I won't moan like that for just anyone or over anything."

"Wow I think I might have pecked you wrong, because the way you are flirting with me right now is kind of shocking." I knew was right, I mean I'm shocking myself here. I don't flirt with people, especially not with guys I just met. He just seemed like a good guy to me and even if I didn't date him I knew I would have no problem at least being friends with him.

"It's alright because to be honest I kind of pecked myself wrong as well. Don't laugh but other than my ex you are the only guy I've ever really flirted with. You probably can't tell by looking at me, but I'm usually a pretty quiet person and don't go out of my way to get myself noticed." I said while I picked at my third slice of pizza, I wasn't really sure what he would think if I ate another slice especially since I kind of chowed down the first two slices. I know that some guys like a girl that can eat but I also know that they don't like a girl that acts like a pig.

"If I'm the only guy you've flirted with then I consider myself a very lucky guy, but I also think any guy that passes up the chance at being around you must be crazy."

"That's sweet of you to say, but I mean you don't really know me. Later on you might decide you hate being around me." I said with a small laugh, hoping that my nervousness wasn't really showing that much.

"I have a hard time believing that but if you say so. Now I have a question are you planning on eating that slice or are you just going to keep on picking at it."

"What I am so not picking at it, maybe I just like playing with my pizza slices for fun."

"Oh really is that true and here I thought you were picking at it because you weren't sure if you should actually eat it or not. I bet the reason you weren't sure is because you were scared that if you did eat it than you might risk looking like a pig." I'm pretty sure that my jaw probably dropped a little when he finished talking, how the hell did he just do that right now. I mean he knew exactly what I was thinking, that is just incredibly freaky. He is either a mind reader or just very perceptive of what people may be thinking.

"Ok so I'm not sure if I should be impressed or completely freaked out right about now. I mean should I be scared for my life when I'm around you, because it's like you read my thoughts or something." He let out a big laugh and starting shaking his head from side to side.

"No you should not be scared of me or anything. I told you, I'm just really good at being able to read people." I smiled at that, but then I realized that it also reminded me a bit of Jasper. I remember he always use to be really good at being able to read people's emotions by just looking at them. He would know when someone was sad, happy, being deceiving and it use to always freak me out.

"Well if you ask me that's a gift, I mean in way you will always know whether or not someone was lying to you right. I suck at being able to read people or figure out what they may actually be thinking."

"Well yeah it's just a little trick of mine. But what do you say we grab two boxes and split up the rest of these pizza pieces I'm sure it's about time we probably headed back to school so that way we won't be late." It was then that I looked at the time and realized that we only had about seven minutes left for our lunch. I made a quick run for the bathroom while he grabbed the boxes to pack up the rest of the pizza slices. As soon as I got back he handed me my books and we started walking back towards school.

"Thank you for lunch Seth I had a nice time."

"There is no need to thank me; I had just as great a time as you did. In fact maybe we can do it again what do you say to hanging out after school or something. I know that it might seem weird since we did just meet but I figure what better way to get to know someone than spending time with them." Oh man why the heck did I have to tutoring after school now? I would love to hang out with him, but now I can't.

"I'm sorry Seth but I can't hang out after school." He didn't let me finished clearly feeling rejected by my answer.

"Oh yeah you know what that's school, I shouldn't have assumed that you wouldn't have any problems or would actually want to spend time together. Maybe another time or something." I could tell that he felt rejected by the tone of his voice that was for sure. I just didn't want him thinking like that, yeah it's true that we might have just met but I would have easily said yes if it wasn't for the fact that I have tutoring after school with Jasper. But what does it matter if I stand up Jasper, I mean it's not like he actually wants to be at the tutoring session I mean the only reason he's doing it is for his precious football, but standing him up would be wrong. I can't let know my personal feelings for him affect my job as a tutor. I realized that while I was lost in thought for a little Seth had started walking ahead of me and I had to run a little to catch up and stop him from walking.

"No wait it's not because I don't want to hang out, it's just that I have a tutoring session after school. I mean if I was free I would definitely say yes." I heard him let out a sigh of relief and then laugh a little.

"Now I feel stupid for thinking that you were just trying to reject me or something. Maybe we can hang out after your session, how long does it last for like an hour?"

"I would it's just our session doesn't even start until around six o'clock because he has football practice after school and I'm stuck waiting for him."

"How is that fair your taking time out of your schedule to help him with his grades and instead of showing up on time he makes you wait for his football practice to be over. I think that's the one problem I have with some jocks most of them think that the world revolves around them." I laughed at that since it was kind of true, I'm pretty sure most jocks are some of the conceited people out there in the world.

"Yeah well I promise my teacher Mrs. Smith that I do it so I usually just wait for him at the library while I work on my homework or something." I said with a shrug when we finally approached the school, we stopped when we entered inside since neither one of us knew what class the other had.

"Since you just hang out at the library and do homework maybe I can hang out with you, I mean I don't have any plans and having a study partner might be nice."

"You know what I love that, so we can either would meet up at the library or somewhere else if you want."

"How about we meet up here again and then we go from there."

"Ok that sounds good; well I should probably get going now my next class is the opposite side of school in m-hall."

"Ok well I see you at three, goodbye beautiful." I gave him a wave goodbye and started walking towards my class feeling much happier.
