"Aaron, are you ok honey?" Mother asked the boy who was moping around the house and shuffling his feet in a manner that was unnecessary.
"I'm fine. Rough first day mom" Aaron responded as the vision of the girl standing on her balcony haunted him. Something about her made him want her. She was untouchable. He tried to get her out of his mind, but it was impossible. He could never be with her and he knew this, but why did he feel so much all at once when he looked into her hating eyes? Because he didn't see hate in her eyes. He saw hope, love, purity, and innocence. He would talk to her despite his parents' extensive requests. He would get to know her as much as he possibly could, as much as she would possibly let him. A smile spread itself across his lips as he thought of her. The only one who was out of his reach was the only one he wanted.

"Good morning class" The teacher said as he sat down in his seat and buried his face in an invigorating mystery book. The class was silent. "Do your own stuff, it's a free day" The class came alive. Everyone turned to another and started talking. Alyson could feel the presence of the Caprice boy next to her. Aaron. She smiled lightly, hiding her raging emotions inside.
"Psst" Aaron whispered to Alyson who bent over to get something out of her bag. She perked up, not looking directly at him, but at an object in the front of the room. Aaron knew she was listening, but didn't want to look. "Take this"
"What is it?" Alyson finally said as she looked into his deep brown eyes. The world stopped, everything was once again perfect. Was this love? Love that she would never know.
"It's my cell phone number and an ice cream shop address on the outskirts of the city. Meet me there after school." Aaron dared to say, unknowing of her ultimate reaction.
"I don't know Aaron" Alyson responded as she accepted the sheet of paper he had offered to her. She knew deep down inside she longed to flee to that place in the afternoon. Aaron stared at her intensely, admiring her soft features. He noticed how when she smiled, she had dimples; but only when she smiled truly. "My family."
"Mine too" Aaron reassured her.
"But if they found out then we'd be in big trouble"
"It's worth a try, don't you think? Take a walk on the dangerous side."
"I don't walk on that side" Alyson said as she turned away and put the paper in her bag. Her eyes pierced the window, where she met eyes with another again. Her Father.

Alyson went straight to meet Aaron at Jerico's ice cream parlor after school. When she saw him waiting for her, her heart fluttered and sweat poured from every part of her body. Why was she feeling like this? She felt like running away. I can't meet Aaron sweating like this. What if I start to smell to him, she thought all flustered. Too late, Aaron spotted her and started to come over. "Hi", he said. Aaron felt as though the wind had been knocked out of him. He felt like throwing up and peeing all at once. He had never felt like this before. Alyson looked beautiful. She was wearing a light pink shirt and a white peasant skirt. Her hair was down with soft waves flowing throughout her long, silky blonde hair. Aaron could smell her sweet perfume floating in the air. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. What is Aaron staring at?, Alyson thought as her and Aaron sat down at a cozy booth. Was he reevaluating his decision to taking her out? she thought to herself. Her thoughts were interrupted by the waiter who came over to take their order. What could she eat? Would she look like a pig to Aaron? She looked over and Aaron and he gave her the most reassuring smile. "I'll have the double fudge brownie sundae", Alyson said. She started to feel better about how they were treating each other though they were lifelong rivals. Aaron looked at Alyson. He took a chance and reached over to hold her hand. His hand was perfect, smooth and warm. Alyson felt nervous, but wanted to hold his hand. She felt comfortable, yet unsure. She glanced up into his bright green eyes as they locked together. Inseparable. Alyson noted how his eyes were beautiful, captivating and mysterious. His skin was flawless, tan and amazing. His lips were perfect, cherry red and seducible. She leaned forward, still staring into his green eyes which reminded her of green grapes. Their faces were so close she could feel his breath on her mouth. She kissed him lightly, surprised. She shut her eyes as he lunged for another yet longer kiss. It was perfect. His saliva tasted warm and sweet. Her body felt as though it was melting away from her. She felt his hand tapping her on her shoulder. "Ma'm, here's your ice-cream", the waiter said handing her the sundae she ordered. Oh man! It had all been a daydream. She looked over at Aaron who was starting to eat his desert. Aaron looked back at Alyson. He wondered if she knew what he was thinking. Would she think it was too forward to want to kiss her? He felt that somehow she was special, more special than any of the other girls he had dated. Something about her intrigued him to the fullest. Why? They ate in utter silence, and utter bliss. "I imagined you were a hideous whore" Aaron finally said, breaking the bliss of the moment. Alyson laughed uneasily, knowing she thought only bad things about him too. "I heard you were a narcissistic fool who spent time in jail and robbed people all of the time." Alyson responded with a smile. Aaron laughed, threw his head back and squinted his eyes as he did so. Alyson watched him as he did this, realizing how attractive he really is. My enemy is a hideous fiend, not a gorgeous gentleman, she said to herself. She looked into his eyes and felt that she needed him. He put his hand on top of hers again as he peered into her blue eyes. He wanted to take her home. He wanted so much just to hold her. How he hated her so. How he loved her so. What? He didn't love her. He took his hand off of hers and leaned back in the booth, still staring into her eyes. She leaned back in her seat and glared out of the window. Someone stared at her. Who was he? Why were people always staring at her? "Shit" Aaron said as he grabbed Alyson's hand and dragged her to the floor just in time to dodge a flying bullet. The glass from the window shattered all around them. "What's going on?" Alyson screamed as she scurried away, following Aaron towards the kitchen door. "They saw you with me, and now they're trying to kill you" Aaron said as he pushed Alyson into the kitchen first, then helped her stand up and run. Alyson didn't know if she should trust Aaron or not, she felt so vulnerable. Being chased by someone with a gun and for what? They didn't know each other. Why should she all of a sudden trust her worst enemy? She stopped running and stared at Aaron who pushed open the back door. "Let's go! He's going to come in here, we gotta dip now!" He screamed, reaching out for her hand. She let it fall to her side, not allowing herself to trust him. "Come on Alyson!" A single gunshot. Alyson leaped for Aaron's hand as he pushed her through the open door and turned around for Aaron. He fell to the floor as another gunshot sounded, and the back kitchen door slammed shut; leaving Alyson outside alone, lost, and scared.

"I heard something today, I'm actually glad about." Mother said at dinner while Alyson helplessly peered at the salt lying on the table. "I heard that the younger Caprice boy was shot today. They found him at Jericho's Ice Cream shop." She continued as she popped in a mouthful of potatoes. Father glared at Alyson, knowing what he saw through the classroom window. Alyson avoided eye contact with her father, but felt his gazing eyes pierce her skin relentlessly. "Excuse me" Alyson said as she backed her chair away from the table politely and brought her dinner plate over to the sink. The family watched her in silence as she treaded upstairs with a long look on her lively face. Alyson rested upon her feather-top beige bed and melted into the comforter. She shut her eyes and envisioned Aaron as he rested his hand upon hers. She smiled willingly, wanting to hold him close to her. Love at first sight. She never did believe in that until now, and now it was only him that she could ever think of. Alyson turned over in her bed, and faced the wall which held a life-size picture of an angel staring at the sunset. She felt that one day, she and her love will sit and stare at the sunset, holding each other tightly. Her cell phone began to ring. She slowly picked herself up and sauntered over to her backpack to get her cell phone. "Hello?" She said quietly into the receiver. "Shh, it's me. I got your number from Richard" a Familiar voice reverberated through her wanting ears. "Aaron?!"
