A/N: Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter. I really like that so many people are enjoying this story. This chapter picks up where the other left off. I hope you like this chapter as much as I liked writing it.

He chuckled a little to himself and then raises his hand and says, "Hi, I'm Jared." I couldn't believe that he was talking to me. It was my first day, not to mention, my first class, and a really cute guy was talking to me. His face got a confused look on it and I started to wonder why. Then I realized it was because I haven't said anything to him yet.
"Hi, I'm Melanie" I said raising my hand to shake his. He held on to my hand for just a second to long then let it go.
"What's your next class?" he asked me. I couldn't tell if he was nervous asking me or if he was just usually shy.
"Umm, biology with…" I take out my schedule to see who my teacher is "Mrs. Harris"
"That's my next class too. Do you mind if I walk you there?" he said. I couldn't believe he just asked me that.
"Su-sure." I stuttered. I was so happy that he wanted to walk me to class. He seemed like a really nice guy, not to mention hot. We walk out of the class room talking about how my first day is going. When we get to Biology class he asked if I wanted to be lab partners since he doesn't have one. I gladly say yes and sat down next to him.
Class went by in a blur. All I could really focus on was Jared. I kept catching myself staring at him. Every now and then I would catch him staring at me, not for a long time but for at least 7 seconds every time. I was surprised that he was even paying attention to me. I'm sure that he could have any girl here that he wanted but he was watching me.
When class was over I packed up all my things to see that Jared was waiting by the door for me.
"Thanks for waiting for me." I said with a smile
"No problem." He replied returning the smile. My heart melted seeing his perfect smile. His face made it seemed like he smiled all the time.
"Do you, maybe, want to eat lunch with me and my friends today?" he asked me.
"Sure, just let me put my books in my locker." I replied.
"Okay, I'll meet you in the cafeteria." Jared said.
"Okay, meet you there." I said walking back to my locker. I really hope his friends are as nice as him. I feel like I already really like him, even though I just met him this morning. I open my locker and place my books inside. I look around and see Jared waiting by a door that must lead to cafeteria. My heart swells up with joy just looking at him. I see this small blonde girl go up to up to Jared and grab his hand. At first I thought maybe they could be really good friends but then she kissed him and I knew from that moment that they were dating. My heart aches with pain from seeing that. It's like my heart just broke in two.
A/N: Sorry that this is such a short chapter, I was busy all week long with volleyball camp. They should be longer later on because I'm not busy for a while. I think I'm going try to update on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, whatever day is easiest. So if you can please review and tell me what you thought.
