I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night

Rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife.

The twinkling lights of the carnival don't hold a candle to your eyes.

I'm not usually like this. School, my friends and my cat were my top priorities.

That is till you collided into me in the ferris wheel (My arm is still bruised, asshole). Your smile was the first thing I noticed, you have such large shiny teeth. You flash me a quick smile and continue performing. You backbend away and I swear I see a hint of magic shoot out of your hands

Which is impossible because there's only one school for witches and wizards in my area and I swear I would've noticed you before.

'Bella! Come on,' Alice pleads as we move forward in line. But I'm starstruck looking at you, wanting to absorb every detail.

I hunch my shoulders and turn my back resolutely determined to have fun in my last summer home. I just broke up with James and there's no way I'm gonna worry about a boy in my senior year.

Of course, fate works in mysterious ways- the next time I see you is when the treasure is stolen and her dead body at your feet.
