Chapter 1
Nora's POV
My alarm goes off which makes me groan and quickly turn it off. I did not have much sleep because I was tossing and turning around last night. The fact I'm joining a different college stresses me out.
"Nora!" My mother shouts from downstairs.
"I'm awake." I shout back while I push the comforter off me and get out of the bed. I walk into the bathroom, half-awake.
When my face is clean, I stroll back to my room. I put the radio on and start brushing my hair.
I pick out a pair of black skinny jeans with a white flowy t-shirt, I put a black denim jacket on and leave the buttons undone. I slide my white bracelet onto my arm. I put my white converse on and put light makeup on.
I walk down to the kitchen where my mother is, she's currently making breakfast.
"Finally," She says when she sees me. "Had to wait ages for you."
"Morning to you too." I say tearing my gaze from her and look at the food.
"Quick, eat up. You're already late."
I take a bite out of the toast, instead of finishing it I push half of it away.
"Need to go mom, see you later." I give her a hug before grabbing my bag and running out to my car.
I get it into my car and put my bag into the seat next to me. I drive out from the house and drive to college.
I feel my heart beat faster when I park in the parking lot. I sling my bag over my shoulder and get out of the car. Immediately I see a lot of students either talking to each other or mucking around. I sigh and walk into the building.
"Hey!" I see a girl with blonde hair and emerald eyes walk up to me.
"Are you new?" She asks and I nod.
"Oh, I'm Hollie."
"I'm Nora." I give her a small smile.
"Do you want some help?"
"Yes." I say eagerly and she laughs.
"I'll help you, may I see your timetable?" She smiles.
I open my bag and get my timetable out. I hand it to her and she takes it, her eyes scanning over it.
"You're in four of my lessons today." She says and gives it back to me.
"Come on, we've got French first." She says and starts walking.
We walk down the hallway and up the stairs. Around us are thousands of people but one catches my eyes. He has brown hair and brown eyes, he was currently talking- or flirting with a girl. But must I say, he was good looking.
I stop looking at him when we're in front of a door. Hollie opens the door and pulls me in with her.
"Let's sit here." She says and I pull out a chair next to her in the middle row. I take out my books and get comfortable in my seat. I see people walking in and chatting with each other while finding their seats.
"Bonjour! Sorry I'm late everyone. Take your books out!" A lady with short red hair comes in the class. She rushes to her desk and starts logging in to the computer.
"She's Miss Cent." Hollie says.
"Where is Nora?" She asks and I put my hand out.
"Bonjour, you are new. Am I correct?" I nod and feel embarrassed with everyone's head facing me.
"Ok well, welcome to the class." She smiles which I return.
The boy I saw in the corridor opens the door and comes into the class.
"Cameron Dallas! You are late! Where have you been?"
"Sorry." He smirks and ignores her and walks to the back row.
She shakes her head and starts talking about something else.
"Hollie." Someone whispers behind us.
She turns her head around. "What!" She whisper-shouts.
"Who's your new friend?" I immediately freeze in my seat, I know he's talking about me.
"No one you need to know. Shut up now." She raises her voice a little and everyone turns to look at her even the teacher.
"You, Hollie out." The teacher says and Hollie's jaw drops to which the the teacher raises her eyebrow at.
"What? It wasn't-" she stops mid-sentence, she groans and gets up and walks to the door.
The teacher carries on with the lesson but I can't seem to concentrate because I can feel a pair of eyes on me.
Miss Cent's eyes go to the back and for a second I thought she was looking at me.
"Oui, Cameron?"
"Can I move down one row? I can't see the board."
"You may. Sit next to Nora."
I look at the empty seat next to me and immediately feel nervous. Hopefully he doesn't speak to me. He pulls out the chair and sits down, he looks at miss before looking at me.
Don't say anything. Don't say anything. Don't say any- "Hi Nora." He gives a small wave.
I give him a small smile. "Hi." I look at him before looking back go the front.
"You're new right?"
"Yes." I answer and try to avoid his gaze.
"Great." He grins before looking away.
Miss Cent opens the door and let's Hollie in, she gives the teacher the middle finger when she's not looking. Everyone laughs at her gesture.
"Quiet!" She snaps.
Hollie walks towards us, her eyes flickering between me and cameron.
"Why are you sitting here?" She whispers.
"Miss moved me." He half-lies.
"Leave Nora alone."
"I'm not doing anything." He widens his eyes a bit.
My phone starts ringing which causes both of them to stop talking and look at me.
"Whose phone is that?" The teacher asks while I quickly turn it off.
"Uhm mine."
"Okay, make sure its off." She says before turning her gaze away from me.
"Who was it?" Hollie asks, I answer her by shrugging my shoulders.
"We will be doing a project! It will be in partners, any questions?" Miss asks.
A girl puts her hand up and the teacher looks at her. "Yes Lily?"
"Can we choose our partners?" She asks.
"No I will be picking." She says which makes my heart beat faster. I don't want to be with anyone I don't even know.
"So it's Simone and Luke, then Rainie and Buck, then it's Hollie and Lily, and then it's Cameron and Nora. If I haven't said your name, please come to the front."
"So you're with me." Cameron smirks.
"Yeah I guess so.."
"Cool." He says before walking away. What the hell.

I unlock my car door. Today went too slow, all I wanted to do was go home. I was about to get into my car when I hear someone call me.
"Nora!"
I turn to the brown haired boy. "Yeah?"
"Follow me to my house." Cameron says.
I was confused. "Why?"
"Because we have to do our project." I mentally groan, why do I have to get the hot guy.
"Uhm okay." He smiles before walking to his car and I get into mine. He starts drinving and I follow him. I become nervous, what if something happens?
As we continue driving, I can't help but think about what might happen. Thoughts fill my head but is distracted by Cameron's car. It's a black Audi and it's going down the road smoothly. He pulls into a black brick house. The house is so big, like 5 times bigger than mine.
I park and get out of the car, gripping on to my bag. He looks at me and motions me over, I stare at the ground as I walk to him.
He opens his door and holds it for me to come in. "Thanks." He closed the door behind him.
"Okay." I say and then there's an awkward silence. He busts out laughing and then I started to do the same.
"That was awkward." I smile after we stop laughing.
"Yeah. Let me get changed and then we'll start on the project. Just go to the room on your left yeah."
I nod and walk into the room. There was a really big TV right in front of me, there was black sofas, there was also a table in the corner which made the room even more nice.
"Admiring the room?" His voice makes me jump and I spin around to find him in a black V-Neck and dark blue jeans.
"It's nice." I say looking at the room again.
"Mhm." He walks to the table. "Sit." I walk over and take a seat next to him.
"So what do we have to do?"
"We have to-" I'm interrupted by my phone ringing. I take it out of my pocket and answer it quickly.
"Hello." I say and look down at the table.
"Nora, I have a late shift so I will be coming home a bit late today."
"Okay mom."
"Speak to you later, love you."
"Love you." I mumble quietly and hang up the call.
I look up but only to be met with his brown eyes.
"So, princess." His voice was deep.
"Don't call me that." I say.
"Why? You look like one, act like one, shall I go on?" He smirks.
I roll my eyes , not saying anything.
He suddenly starts laughing, I narrow my eyes at him. "Okay, let's start then." I say wanting to get out of this conversation.
"Right, so what should we do then?"
I grab the piece of paper and read what it says. "It says we have to do a presentation about each other." My eyes go back to the paper. "I don't know what it has to do with French." I add.
"The teachers stupid then." He says which makes me giggle.
"Okay, so I guess we have to learn about each other then."
"Yep and I look forward to it." He comments.
"I'll ask you questions or should we write them down." I say, ignoring his comment.
"Write them down." His tone is smug which is making me nervous.
"Okay." I get two pieces of paper and hand one to him.
It takes both of us 10 minutes to write them down and when I'm finished I put my pen down.
"Finished?" I ask and he nods.
I swap the two papers and we start answering the questions.
1) What's your full name?
2) Age?
3) Family?
4) What do you want to be when your older?
5) Boyfriend?
6) Where did you live before you came to California?
7) Do you like me?
8) What's my best feature?
9) Where do you get your looks from?
10) Are you a Virgin? ;)
The last three questions made my mouth drop open, mostly the last one. I look at him but only to see his eyes on the paper and a smirk painted on his lips.
I answer the questions but hesitate on the last one, why would he like to know that. I write my answer down and turn the paper around.
"Done." He says.
"Same." I hand my paper to him and he hands his to me. I put the paper in my deciding to read it later.
"Your not a Virgin, interesting." A small smirk is plastered on his face.
"I'm going to go home now." I say, putting my bag on my shoulder.
"Okay." He follows me to the door.
"I'll start the PowerPoint soon." I tell him which he nods to.
"See you around princess."
"See you." I mumble and walk out the door and to my car. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding, he seemed so intimidating.
Oooooh, what do you think of the book? Sorry if it's crap.
