I woke up in the morning to my alarm screaming at me. Ugh. The dreaded first day of school. I wondered what classes I would get, what kind of friends I would make. My thoughts immediatley jumped to Seth. At the thought of seeing Seth again my day brightened drastically. Last night I was dreading today, but now I was actually looking forward to today. A little bit. I was glad that I was a senior. I wouldn't have to deal with stupid highschool drama next year.
I got ready fairly slow. But the thought of being late on my first day of school was not appealing, so I got out of the house as fast as I could. I had started walking to school (Yes, living in a town this small means you can actually walk anywhere you want to go) when it started to rain. Great. I would be soaked from head to toe when I got to school.
Before I could get to wet a beat up looking car pulled up beside me. I squinted through the pouring rain and saw Seth. My stomache did a backflip and me heartbeat quickened.
Seth rolled down his window and shouted, "Need a ride? Because I really don't think you want to be looking like a wet cat on your first day." He said playfully.
Why not? It's not like I would get any better offers at the moment. "Sure. And haha very funny. Then what does that make you? A wet dog?" I joked. He chuckled lightly and said something so low I could barely hear. It almost sounded like he said 'You don't even know'. I ignored it hoping he might think I didn't hear.
I opened the car door and got in. I was immediatley enveloped by the heat coming from the vents, and the heat I could feel radiating off of Seth. Hmm that's strange, why was he so hot? I was grateful of not being in the pounding rain, and not getting a cold.
"Thank you for the ride. I mean if it weren't for you I might look like a wet cat. My hero!" I said sarcastically.
He laughed a deep husky laugh, "It's not a problem, I wanted to give you a ride." He said smiling. I found I couldn't get his laugh or his voice out of my head. It was just too sexy. What?! Did I just think that his voice and laugh were sexy? What is going on with me?
Before I could get any farther with my thoughts we pulled into the school parking lot. The school looked small. And I mean small. It looked the size of a Wal-Mart. I could tell I wouldn't have trouble finding any of my classes. "How many people go here?" I asked.
"Around 200-ish maybe less." He stated. And he laughed. Obviously the look I gave him was amusing.
I walked to the office not realizing Seth was next to me until he grabbed my hand inter-lacing our fingers. I quickly moved my hand away, grabbed my schedule, and headed to my locker. What was with that? Why did he just grab my hand like that? I barely knew him for crying out loud! But what was even worse was I actually LIKED my hand in his. It was like it was meant to be there. I was at my locker now when I had a flashback.
'I was sitting in a movie theatre watching a crappy romance, I was on my first date with David. He reached out and grabbed my hand. I looked up at him and smiled. "It seems like our hands are meant for eachother" He said as he leaned down to kiss me.'
Suddenly the bell rang making me jump. I shuddered at the flashback pushing all thoughts of David from my mind before worse memories could come back to me.

1st through 5th period went by with me making no friends whatsoever. I thought with a school this small someone would actually be nice enough to be my friend. I was on my way to lunch when I heard someone call my name. The voice sounded so farmiliar to me. Wierd. I only met the guy yesterday yet it seems like I have heard his voice all the time. I turned around to see a smile on his face. Oh jeeze, his smile is AMAZING! I started to get butterflies in my stomache and a blush crept onto my face. I smiled back at him a little dazed.
He started walking with me keeping pace with me. He put his arm around my shoulders. I didn't even attempt to move it. He was so warm, and I liked the feeling of him being so close to me. I took a deep breath trying to steady my breathing when I caught a whiff of Seth. He smiled kind of woodsy, like pine trees. I smiled to myself. I had just found my new favorite smell in the whole world.
"So how is your day going so far?" Seth asked politely.
I pouted, "Fine. I guess. If you call not making any friends fine."
He gave me a worried look which he quickly covered with a smile. He probably didn't want me to see it. "Well, you have me. And you look so cute when you pout." He told me.
I felt my cheeks get warm. Stupid blushing.
"Thank you." I mumbled.
We fell into a comfortable silence. It wasn't like all those awkward ones you usually get with people you don't know. But, with Seth, it seemed right. It wasn't awkward in the least bit.
I followed Seth through the line, seeing as he still had his arm around me. He got a tray full of food. I stared wide eyed at his tray and he started laughing,"Do my eating habits bother you?"
I felt a blush coming on again, "No, no, it's just can you actually finish all of that? I mean how do you not gain ANYTHING?"
He smiled his breathtaking smile that I have come to love.
"Fast matabolism."
We got to a table filled with guys just as big as Seth was and one girl who looked to be shorter than me.
"Seth!" They all said.
"Hey guys. This is Kayla, Kayla this is Jared, his girlfriend Kim, Brady, Collin, Embry, Quil, Paul, and Jacob." He pointed to each person as he said their names.
"Hi." I said a little uncomfortable with them all looking at me.
I sat through all of lunch listening to them talk. Not joining in unless they asked me a question directly. I found that I liked hanging out with them. Maybe tomorrow I will actually join into their conversations. The bell rang signalling to leave. I told everybody goodbyes and headed off to my class.

After school I started to walk home. I didn't even leave the building when I was being pushed into a vacant classroom. I didn't know who it was, but I had a faint idea of who it might be. Warm arms wrapped around me. I didn't know what to say. Seth turned me around and pushed me up against a wall and kissed me.
I started to cry.
Seth pulled back realizing that I was crying.
His face crumpled in pain, "Kayla! Are you alright?!" he asked frantically.
I realized my mistake. I don't think Seth was trying to assualt me. He actually liked me. And he seemed to think I like him too. Which he wasn't wrong.
I wiped away stray tears, "I'm fine" I lied.
"Then why are you crying?"
