"Sorry," Sarah muttered as she reached down to pick up her purse and the papers the provost had given to her. Well that's a perfect way to start the new school year, she thought to herself.

She didn't notice that the boy she ran into until she looked back up. He was tall, not a giant but still at least a foot taller than her. His hair was short, dark brown; slightly tousled and the same color as his eyes. Cute!

He gave her a slight smile and replied, "Sorry! I wasn't looking."

"It's alright. I kinda zone out for a bit myself. I'm Sarah," she said.

"Caleb Danvers. Are you new here?"

She out a small laugh and answered, "Yeah, I just moved here from New York."

"So, do you like Ipswich so far?"

"Umm…It's great so far but I haven't really seen much of the town or school yet."

His smile grew bigger and he asked, "Well, how about I give you a tour of the school?"

Damn it! I walked straight into that one. She really didn't want to hurt the guy's feelings. He was sweet and cute. Under any other circumstances, Sarah would have jumped at the chance to spend time with this cute guy but she couldn't let him get close. Pretty soon her family would catch up on her trail and she would have to leave. Last time, her family had caught up in about three months. The only reason she got away was because Adianna had warned her ahead of time. As they were walking down the hall, Sarah sneaked a peak at Caleb through the corner of her eyes. How long did she have until she had to leave him; the first friend she'd ever had. Four? Maybe six months at the least? Thank god Ipswich is the smallest town on the planet.

"So," Caleb's voice drew Sarah from her thoughts, "Are you going to be staying here at the dorms?"

"Yeah, I got a scholarship here. My family's still back in New York."

"Wow, Spencer only gives out fifty scholarships a year," Caleb stated in awe. "Which dorm are you in?"

"213." Caleb shocked her by letting out a groan. "Something wrong?"

"That's the room across from my friends Tyler and Reid." She lifted an eyebrow, waiting for him to come up with a good excuse. "You'll see why and it has nothing to do with you."

She let out a small chuckle and bent to grab her luggage, "Good to know."

"Here, let me get those," Caleb offered.

"N-No…really it's fine. I've got them," she said stuttering.

He gave her the sweetest, angelic smile and stated, "Sarah, give me the god damn luggage."

At that, Sarah had to laugh. She just met Caleb Danvers but she could tell that cussing was not something he normally did. The words coming out of his mouth sounded foreign. The two made there way down the hall to Sarah's room.

"Here we are room 213," he announced.

"Thanks so much for helping me get around."

"Hey don't mention it. How about we drop this stuff off inside and I take you across the hall so I can introduce my newest and prettiest friend to the boys," Caleb offered.

Sarah's face lit up just form hearing Caleb call her his friend. She wasn't so lonely anymore now that she was in Ipswich. Maybe this place will be different.
