Teaser

It was a cold fall's day, and the first day in senior year at high school for many students. Students walked to school that day wrapped up warmly in scarves, gloves and thick coats.

One senior, Bianca Barrymore, was relieved that she could soon leave school and start living the rest of her life freely. Then she'd have no more assignments taking up her time and would no longer be singled out because she wasn't very pretty. Bianca was very nervous about the future though; unlike several of her friends, she was yet to meet her 'Mr. Right'. Wearing thick glasses didn't make her look attractive, but she had tried contact lenses and just couldn't wear them. Maybe once she was free from school, there would be more guys who could see her inner beauty.

Bianca was day-dreaming as the young man bumped into her that morning, causing Bianca's books to go flying. "I'm so sorry," said Bianca nervously, frightened that the man might get angry at her for being such a klutz.

"That's okay, I wasn't looking where I was going," said the man kindly, not wanting Bianca to take the blame for the accident. He stooped down to retrieve his books, just as Bianca did the same, and their eyes met. For about ten seconds they paused in their actions, just studying each other's eyes.

Then Bianca returned to her senses, and hurriedly picked up her books, arranging them neatly in her hands. "I have to go," she said; she wasn't used to talking to boys and just wanted to get away before she did anything else to cause further embarrassment to herself.

"There's no hurry, we've got," he looked at his wrist watch, "five minutes before our first class. My name's Charles Wilmington."

"I'm Bianca, Bianca Barrymore."

"What a pretty name," complimented Charles. "I'm actually a new senior here today...my parents just moved here during the summer vacation. We had...problems with our neighbors at our old place."

"We've had problems with our neighbors in the past as well," replied Bianca, "it's such a shame when people can't get along."

Charles smiled - Bianca had no idea of the problems his family had experienced with their old neighbors. He knew that Bianca wasn't anything like him; if she was, he'd be able to sense it. It would make a change to have a non-magical friend though.

The bell rang and Bianca and Charles discovered they were in the same class; so Bianca could show the new boy around.
