Prologue

School was going good for me in the beginning.

I was popular, I had a lot of friends, and I was pretty confident that once I entered Sophomore year, the rest of the high school would be okay. I didn't realize that just one person could totally change all your emotions and thoughts.

I didn't even notice him in the beginning. I had seen him, once or twice before, outside, smoking with the older stoners, or out at the park's basketball courts, playing ball. I didn't pay much of my attention to him, besides hiding the fact that he was super attractive.

And he never noticed me. I never got in his way, he never looked my way, and everything was mutual. And then, that damn library day changed everything.

He was an ass, a complete ass to me. He was cocky, he was dangerous, and Victoria and all my friends warned me to stay away from him. Even older chicks told me to stay out of his path. But as I got to see him more, his interest grew in me. It grew so much, I realized it was too late to get out of it.
