Chapter 1
Lily ....
I silently walk to my locker to get my history book for my next class. Most people ignore me which doesn't really bother me in the slightest. Attention is what I don't want and I'm glad. I'm just trying to focus on my studies, keep up with my 4.0 grade average and graduate .
My locker is four doors down from the popular handsome, sexy as hell, captain of the football team, Michael Weston. I've secretly had a crush on him since our earlier school days but he doesn't know I exist. I steal glances of him through my locker door from time to time. He's never alone as there's always a swarm of girls lining up to get his attention. All he has to do is smile that panty dropping smile of his and the girls come running in his direction .
I wish he could smile at me that way. To be the center of his attention but that will never happen cause I'm not like the girls that is always around him. I guess some things are never meant to be.
We have most of the same classes together but still I'm invisible to him. The bell rings and I close my locker after a last glance of him and hurry to history so I won't be late. He sits a few seats away from me and we've never spoken, not once. All the chatter dies down when the teacher enters the classroom and for the next hour and a half I lose myself in what is being said. The bell finally rings and I'm the first one out the door to get to the Library to start on my new assignment.
Michael.....
I'm captain of the football team. Known by everyone in this school and always surrounded by girls who are eager to get my attention. I can get any girl I want except for the one girl that I've been crushing on since forever, Lily Persephone.
I'm standing by my locker with some of my team mates and some of the popular girls at school but my attention is elsewhere as I watch Lily walk to her locker to get her books for our next class. She's one of a kind and beautiful. She works hards and mostly keep to herself, and is always with her head in a book. I watch her even know she doesn't know how I truly feel about her.
She must think of me as a self centered asshole who sleeps with all the girls and get away with whatever I want but she's wrong cause I'm not like that at all. Everyone around me only sees what they want to see but not as the person I truly am. The bell rings and watch her close her locker and head to class as she has a thing about not being late for class.
I say goodbye to my boys and make my way inside the classroom. She sits a few seats away from me close to the front of the class but I can see her clearly from my seat at the back and as usual she's lost in her textbook in front her unaware that I steal glances at her from time to time.
I need to find a way to get her attention but that might be a bit tricky but I'm not about to give up until I make her mines . For the remainder of the class she focused on the teacher and as the bell rings, she's out the door faster than I can blink but I know where she's headed. And I'm determined to get her to take notice of me as I follow her to the school library.
