Chapter 1

Rachel let out a deep breath with his chin held high. He gripped onto his backpack straps tightly and made his first step into the hallways of # Highschool. The voices of people chattering and boys being boys, making a ruckus, he could hear it all which made him swallow. With a quick change of mind, he had a presentiment that, by having his head held low would have been better.

Looking at the dully lurid flooring, he tried his best to stay low and find his locker. Abruptly, a gash of wind blew towards Rachel-- "ouch!" he whined, laying on the floor on his bum and his hands infront of him for support.

How unlucky, Rachel slowly looked up to see the person who had bumped him, from his grimey shoes to his disheveled black colored hairdo and sloppy posture, he could tell the guy was not the most charming. However, the colour of his strawberry-pink eyes, broad shoulders, sharp jawline and it seemed as though he was a shinning diamond.

"Hey, I have not seen you here before.." The guy said in a deep hoarse voice as he reached his hand out, helping Rachel up.

Definitely not what Rachel expected his voice to sound like and him helping Rachel, maybe this guy was not all that bad.

I grabbed his hand, and pulled myself up.

"Uh, I'm actually new here.." I stumbled my words.

"Your name?" he asked.

"Rachel Prince." I hesitated for a while before quietly speaking back.

"Pft- What a cute name! I really like it!" He looked at the verge of laughing his head off. I did not judge him, my name was always made fun off but for some reason today just was not my day. I gave a death-like glare, gritted my teeth and gave an exasperated expression on my face. I bursted out everything I thought about him. Does he think, I am a new kid that I can't stand up for myself?!

"So? I personally think it's a great name! Ugh, I thought you may be a decent guy but I guess your personality is just like your appearance! I bet your a punk too!"

I felt like a ferocious lion grumbling towards a snobby, rude, insensitive, dog! My heart was racing, I froze in fear, thinking what had I just done. My feet turned cold, I don't remember what happened next but I remember uttering a short "sorry" before dashing away.. I could not manage to find my locker because of that neither way, it was better then getting beat up from that, I presumed he's punk.

Sliding the classroom door open, hoping to see the room empty so he could pick the window seat aka the best sit. To his recovery, he clenched his fist and swinging it downwards as his little victory move.

He gleefully walked towards his seat and sat down. He sighed, just thinking about everything that had just happened. He plated his head on the table before slowly shutting his eyes..

The sounds of bells ringing in his ears woke him up, the classroom was filled with students seated. As he fiddled with his pencil, he glanced out the window. What worst could happen? The pen slipped through my his fingers, the sound of it crashing onto the phone made him jump. Just as he reached for it. A familiar hand took the pencil passing it to him, Rachel smiled. He took his pencil from the face and made his chance to see the the person who had helped him. His eyes widened, biting his lower lip. It was that guy from earlier!

Not long after realising, a teacher entered the class, "Good morning students, hope you all have picked good sits because this will be your permanent arrangement for the rest of the semester till further notice."

Just as Rachel's day could not get worst! He rolled his eyes in irritation. He simply wanted to live life peacefully without the disturbance of that guy.

"Hey my sweetheart, Rachel~ I guess we will be sitting buddies, huh." He teased.

Ugh. This can't be happening...
