Parker Lamb.
Moved here not even a week ago and was already the talk of the student body. He was rumored to be sleeping around with most of the cheerleaders.
Wow, that was quick for even some who looked like him.
I admit he was very good looking.
I have AP Physics with him and I watched as the whole class seemed to glow since he'd been there.
He was the top student even in a  advanced placement class.
He quickly became close to our teacher charming her with his smart remarks.

I just didn't get how a guy so smart could be so dumb at the same time to be hanging with Karin and Camille.

But to mention to me about the book
I was reading.
Such a romantic and classic novel seemed out of character for any guy.

He'll probably end up joining a sports team and become the it boy for the rest of our high school years .
I had to stop this. I slapped my cheeks as I walked out of math class.
I've never showed so much attention towards anyone .

I opened my locker and grabbed a set of keys from the coat hanger.
I walk three flights of stairs then came to a halt at the top of the fourth flight, where there is only one door.

I turn my key and push the door open wind blows my hair away from my face.  I take a breath of fresh air and walk the concrete to the side of the fence in the left corner.
My English teacher gave me the key to the roof to read books up here and report to her about them. sometimes take naps or look up at the sky and just daydream .
I start to read To kill a mockingbird, I read it for the first time in my freshmen year and enjoyed it very much. I didn't like the second Go set a watchman it was quite disappointing to me but I was still excited to read mockingbird again.

Then the door flew open and in walked none other than Parker Lamb.

He honestly took my breath away.
"Students aren't supposed to be up here." I choked out.

He looked over at me.

"Then why are you up here?"
He smirked.

He walked across the roof top over to me and I began to sweat even though the wind was blowing cold air through the fence.

"To kill a mockingbird," He pointed down at the book in my hand." I read that in freshman year at my old school ."

I closed my book.
"Speaking of school, shouldn't you be in class?"I stated.

He cocks an eyebrow at me. "I could ask the same to you."

"I'm skipping, obviously."He grabs the fence and looks out through the holes.
"Same as you I suppose."

I cringed at the word 'skipping'. I had never skipped in my life .
"No,it's different circumstances for me." I say calmly.

"Under any circumstance, you're still not in class." He looks down at me.

I glared at him . And he cracked a smile.

"Well whatever," I flipped a page in my book."If we're both skipping you better find your own hiding place cause this is mine."

"Uhh...no." He said cocky . "I like it up here I think I'm going to have to steal it away from you."

"Oh, like your friends tried to steal my table away from me? "I asked.

"I don't know, was your name on it?" He cracked.
I cocked an eyebrow at him.
Is this guy serious?

"Fine, we can share." He smiled smartly at me.

"Everything's a joke to you, isn't it?" I shut my book and looked at him. " I'm just minding my own business and you guys want to come along a ruin it for me. "

"Pretty much." He answered. "Life shouldn't be so serious it should be about having fun and you can't have fun alone."

"I've been doing just fine on my own. "At this point I'm just trying to get rid of this guy.

"The sounds very depressing, and I think you're wrong so I'm going to stay here. He said as he sat down beside me. " I'll be your friend

"Oh, grow up you can't be nice to everyone." I said looking at him . We're not in kindergarten I don't need you to pity me and be my friend I'm fine alone. Who are you to say my life is depressing anyway?

" I don't have any right but I know them at everyone gets lonely and that you're not giving me a chance . I don't pity you I think you're a great person and I want to be your friend . " He looked at me deeply.
Suddenly all the smart comebacks I had planned in my head melted away.
I sat gaping at his puppy dog eyes.

"How would you know anything about me?" Air caught in my throat as I slipped out my words.

He cocks an eyebrow at me."I've kept my tabs on you ,Miss Addison Bell."

I was slightly shocked by his words.
"You don't needs to keep tabs on me I'm sure you're cheerleading friends will give you all the information you need."

"Yes, I've heard things from them like He sighed "You're trying to that lone wolf, 'I don't need anyone I'm better off alone, cause everyone else suck' and you try to hard to be edgy but you're actually just an emo bitch who want ms attention."

Damn it. I felt tears sting my eyes.

" But I don't believe.He said shaking his head and looking into my eyes." And that's why I'm here to set things straight and meet the real you"

I wipe my eyes with my palms " b-but I don't know how to be someone's friend I've alone for so long.

"I don't either." He shook his head . "I'm just as lost and alone as you are but you gotta try."

I watched him over and wipe a tear off my cheek .

'Who is this guy?'

"No I don't think you know, you've only been here a week and you're the talk of the school, I've lived here my whole life with these stereotypical assholes and I just-"
My voice gave out and all I could think was I've know this guy for five minutes and he's pushed more emotions out of me then anyone had in 8 years.

" I do . I really do.All I want is a life of adventure to do something out of the ordinary ."He looked up at me with sadness in his eyes. "Instead I'm waisting youth spending time filling high school stereotypes."
And at that moment He reminded of someone so much that I wanted to hold him.

"No one says you have to." I looked away from him . "Be your own person that's the best adventure of all."
He looked a me with a look of shock

"You're an amazing person you know that?"

I let out a chuckle. "Obviously not, or I wouldn't be sitting here right now, would I ? "

He smiled crookedly. " I guess not but I'm sorta glad you are. Let's  start over I'm Parker Lamb, I like long walks on the beach and getting caught in the rain." 
I laughed for what felt like the first time in forever.

"I'm Addison Bell." I said with a sniffle.

"Well Miss Bell , shall we be lost and alone together?"
