Alyssa's POV:

I woke up early in the morning, it was a perfect day, the sun outside my window welcomed me sweetly when I opened the curtains of my room,

I inhaled the calmness in for a while then went for a shower and sang my heart out, My friends used to say that I have a lovely voice, I was thinking of starting a youtube channel but for some reason, I gave up thinking about it and focused back on my studies.

I squeezed the shampoo bottle to get some shampoo out but it spilled too much, I immediately tried to insert it back in but it started making squeaky voices and I couldn't control my laughter,

Well the day started with a laugh, I thought and stepped out of the washroom, I walked towards my closet while dabbing my hair with the cloth plus trying to figure out what to wear for my day at a new school.

MY heart was flipping with happiness, I just can't wait to step my foot in a new school, I selected a dark maroon shirt with black rip jeans, a watch and my bracelet which was gifted to me by my late mother, I miss her,

I started to drift in my chain of thoughts but I pushed them back and focused on my makeup, I love applying eyeliner and lip gloss nothing fancy. My appearance in the full-length mirror pleased me so I just finished it off with a sprinkle of perfume.

I picked up my bag and went to the kitchen for some breakfast, not much of an eater so I just drank some apple juice and grabbed an apple, a perfect healthy combination and went out to my car,

I have a beetle (Volkswagen) it's red in color it was gifted to me by my father on my birthday, I always admired this car, it's small and cute.

My father is a businessman, he is always on business tours and I, unfortunately, am always alone at home, we used to live in NewYork but later we shifted to Miami because of father's work and I had to leave all my friends behind, my old school and my best friend/boyfriend Jordan Parker, he was the sweetest, we are still in contact, I miss him greatly as our day started with each other and ended with one another, things change so fast, don't they?

I had assumed naively that when we shift to Maimi, I will have daddy to myself and all days will be like father and daughter days but I guess it was just a big dream and nothing more,

I switched on the radio, my mood suddenly shifted as I heard my dream man sing "Enrique Iglesias",

Damn his mesmerizing voice just makes my insides jump up and down in thrill, I sang the whole song "heart attack" with him. I finally reached school and my eyes searched for a parking spot finally found one and parked my car beside a Viper.

"Wait what", I stood there still for almost ten minutes inhaling the beauty of that gorgeous car then suddenly the door swished open and I saw someone coming out of it.

A tall guy with dark brown hair, not completely brown if I must add just slightly mixed with black highlights that made his hairstyle stand out due to the color combination.

He was about to turn when I was abruptly pushed aside to my car and girls started to swarm around him as if he was free brownies.

The thought of chocolate combined with spongy cake made my stomach grumbled like hulk and I inwardly cursed myself for skipping breakfast.

A girl almost squealed out, "OMG Carlos is that a new Rolex, it is  amazing", the boy still had his back to me and it seemed like he was not interested in all their drooling over him.

I saw a guy coming his way with a bright smile, he moved and hugged this other person and started walking towards the school entrance.

Aww, I wanted to see his face, cursed with disappointment I followed them because it was the way through which I could enter the school premises.

Before I could even take in my view of my surroundings, a girl with almost glowing blonde hair stopped right in front of me, she had those sparkly green eyes and was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt matched with a dark gray skirt and a gray beanie on her head to complete her style.

"New here", she asked with a smile.

"Yes," I replied.

"Cool I am Madeline Sparks, it's so nice to meet you did I mention you have an amazing pair of golden eyes, I just needed to talk to you, want to be friends". I was shocked.

She seemed quite popular to me as everyone seemed to smile at her while passing, I actually couldn't digest her compliment that she had bestowed upon me on our first conversation,

I felt a little awkward if that is a right word, was it some sort of a prank to corner the new kid and fool or did she actually mean it,

Plus my eyes aren't that yellow, they sometimes acquire this glint due to the weather or we can say due to my inner state.

"Um, okay I would actually love that. I am new... Oops, you already know that part, sorry, I am a little nervous". I uttered as I gently brushed my left arm.

Her face was completely blank as I said that but suddenly I don't know why but she hugged me and said,

"Now are you feeling better, I know the first day of school is the worst, don't worry I am here now".

"Thank you, you are so kind, I have never made a friend this easily". I replied with a smile.

She was staring at me in complete adoration, I moved my feet here and there. "Um, sorry I was staring at your eyes, I wish I had em". She was literally squealing at the sight of my eyes.

What is she talking about she has a set of green sparkly eyes that looks like as if she has caged the entire Amazon in them?

I heard someone call her name in short "Maddy", by eyes followed her movement as she waved at him from her place.

It was the same guy who hugged the sexy back guy, what am I saying,

In no time she flew away from her place and landed in the arms of her prince majestically who twirled her around in a cinderella style, giving us losers a sight of major couple goals.

They were laughing together while peppering kisses on one and another.

I saw her grabbing his hand and pulling him towards me, shit! how do I look,

Why am I saying that, oh yeah he is a dashing guy with a pair of dark brown eyes, a muscular body, pretty face, the works,

You can never score a guy like him, Alyssa only can drool over them while they twirl their processes around,

I wasn't jealous of her just some part of me wanted the same happiness from someone, I wanted someone who would look at me like this guy looked at Madeline.

Looks like our little fairy here had hit a jackpot, I laughed to myself.

"This is Alyssa, my new best friend", she introduced me to the guy who smiled and violently gave me a bear hug.

I was caught off guard, his cologne entered my lonely nostrils with its strong scent making my settled insides go crazy in different ways.

Maddy saw my reaction and asked his caveman to stop his assault over my delicate frame.

I think this man here doesn't know anything about personal space.

"Woah, tiger she is not me, you are killing her", she sarcastically commented to which he laughed and let me go.

My face grew color once again the color I preferred, the normal kind rather than the red tomato one which he had caused due to his strength.

"It was not that hard, was it?", he raised his eyebrows as he looked at me then smiled, I nervously smiled back.

"You don't talk much huh, She is so like Carlos but she smiles", he commented and both started to laugh.

Who is Carlos that sexy back guy, his name sounds so mysterious, you know the names you hear in Mafia movies, where a dangerous-looking guy has the entire world in his fist.

Alyssa stop daydreaming and focus, people are gonna think you are crazy. I really need to do something about my absent-mindedness,

I travel thousands of miles in the head while standing in one place creepily gazing at one thing until the person worried about me jerks me back to life.

I was thankfully interrupted by Maddy who pulled me and started walking, " I changed your locker now it's beside mine", she said normally as she mumbled some other nonsensical jargon to me.

"How did you do that", I asked her in complete astonishment. Which also reminded me of the slip I had in my hands that was actually missing by now and now was in the hands of my new best friend.

The slip consisted of the basic information regarding my class schedule and locker number blah blah.

"Well, from now on you don't have to worry about a thing Alyssa, we are your friends if you ever need anything just say it to me alright, We run this school in short", she smiled.

Who were these people and how were they so powerful, did I just befriended some wrong people, I don't really want to get in trouble, daddy won't allow it.

I was walking behind them, observing their every move, daddy warned me to not let my bad side get the best of me, I will not disappoint him this time.

My hands fumbled with one another unconsciously a bad habit of mine whenever I am in stress or is struck by anxiety.

I heard someone whisper."Is she always like this?",

"Sshs... She is new, give her time",

"So what?",

"Shut up",

"No tell me, does she need another hug?".

I abruptly yelled, "No", from behind and earned a round of laughter from both of them.

"See I told you, you scared the poor girl with your bone-crushing hug", Maddy retorted.

"Then how are you still alive?" he said partly with his hands over his chest.

I don't even know his name. Gosh, I am so stupid why didn't I ask him, they were about to kiss once again when I interrupted them with my question, "Umm... What is your name by the way?",

He was quiet for a moment. "I am Mason Thompson, so nice to meet you Alyssa", he smiled,

"No hugs please", I joked and he chuckled,

"Good now you are getting used to us", he jested.

I heard girls squealing and laughing girlishly. Then I saw him, the sexy back guy cutting through the crowd to his friends.

He was a star and he knew it, the aura that surrounded him separated him from the crowd,

Without even trying he killed many hearts sadly my heart was getting in line too. I inwardly groaned as I pitied my state and gazed at their friendship from afar.

He was smiling at Mason and talking to Maddy. Damn, he looks so dashing just look at his cuts,

I could literally feel how muscular his arms were by looking at his jacket, how tightly it was lassoed around his arms.

He was wearing a navy blue shirt with a black leather jacket paired with black jeans.

He caught me staring,

oh shit! My eyes touched the ground as I unconsciously scraped my palm over my jeans for comfort.

I saw them approaching while I stood there frozen waiting impatiently if I could jump out of some window I would do so,

His gaze pierced right through me as if he could read whatever secret I had hidden in me,

I didn't know I was holding my breath until I felt someone touching my hand, I slightly jumped.

"Chill Alyssa it's me Maddy are you alright?", I smiled with a nod.

"Alyssa this is Carlos Crawford, my friend",

"Hi, I am Alyssa nice to meet you", he stood his place without uttering a single word, inspecting me or somewhat calculating how much damage I could cause to his friends or maybe to him.

His stare wasn't something friendly but a threatening glare and sadly no lip curl was passed my way as I was here standing with a white flag in hand in hope for peace from the other side.

My hand was in mid-air dangling like a cloth on a wire, come on man stop being so rude,

Then he slowly lifted his hand for a handshake, I felt millions of butterflies going wild inside of me, his touch left me feeling a little strange, I couldn't comprehend what I felt, I wanted him away but close too.

His eyes never left my face nor did his hand unchained me, Maddy saw it and smirked, "Ehem, Carlos we don't have the whole day you know you can shake her hand again sometime, she is with us now", she nudged his shoulder at that he immediately let go my hand and walked away saying I have a call to attend,

I could see his embarrassing shining in the tint of his ears, I smiled.

Then we went to class and I sat with Maddy in the second row. I saw the boys coming laughing over some joke,  Mason sat behind Maddy and Sexy back I mean Carlos sat behind me,

I could feel he was glaring at me from behind. You know the feeling you get when you feel like someone is watching you, observing you like a hawk that was the madness I was going through.

I couldn't focus on anything else knowing he was right on my tail waiting for me to mess up something bad, nothing was friendly about him and he made it quite clear by his actions.

I pleaded inwardly God please ring the bell please and it was like God listened and the bell rang,

First period my torture begins...
