The next day I woke up and put on my wardrobe. It wasn't my best but I don't care because who am I to impress you? If you don't like my dress code then take your eyes off of me. I don't care. I grabbed my stuff and walked out of my dorm. I walked down the steps and into the school heading straight towards the office. I opened the door and sat down until I was called into the Principal's Office.

Principal: Suzanne Braxton.

I stepped inside and spoke.

Suesie: Good morning sir.

Principal: Good morning. I understand that you are our new student, am I correct?

Suesie: Yes sir.

Principal: Call me Mr. Jackson and please have a seat.

He extended his hand out in the direction of the chair.

Suesie: Mr. Jackson, I have a few question's about this school.

Mr. Jackson smiled.

Mr. Jackson: As do I Miss Braxton. Proceed.

Suesie: Do you know who my teachers are and who will be my tour guide?

Mr. Jackson folded his hands.

Mr. Jackson: As a matter of fact, I do. Here is your schedule and I will call in your guidance momentarily. Please wait and I will be right back.

Suesie: Yes Mr. Jackson.

I sat down patiently and waited for my guidance and principal to come back. A few minutes later, the door opened and I turned around to meet a person who looked very nice. He was dressed formally and had the whitest smile.

Mr. Jackson: And I see that you have met my son.

Suesie: Your son?

Mr. Jackson smiled widely and sat down.

Mr. Jackson: Yes. He is going to give you a tour of the school.

My eyes almost popped out of my head at his statement and I had lost my mind. My Principal was going to allow his son to show me around? Oh my gosh, why him? He is too charming and clean and just.. Wow..

Mr. Jackson: Michael, take Miss Braxton on a tour around the school.

Michael: Yes sir.

Michael said with a wide grin upon his face. I could not believe this. He looked like an angel and I will most likely forget everything that he says about the school. Michael walked beside the door and opened it.

Michael: After you.

I hesitated to move out of my seat and walked towards the door.

Suesie: Thank you.

I said as I stepped out. Michael winked at his father and then walked out after me. We started walking and he asked me a few questions.

Michael: Did you get your schedule yet?

Suesie: Yes, it's right here.

I said. I refused to look at him because he would only distract me from important information that is needed.

Michael: May I see it?

Suesie: Sure.

I handed Michael my schedule and he looked it over.

Michael: Alright. Here is your first class. Room 108.

Suesie: What class is this?

Michael: It says that it's your Science and Astronomy Class.

I smiled. I love science and I've always been interested in the stars, planets, and galaxy.

Michael: We have the next class together in Mathematics.

Suesie: Not my favorite but I always do my best.

Michael: Good thinking.

Suesie: Thank you.

Michael smiled as he took me to room 505. He told me all about the school, where to go, who to hang with, and what is good to eat at lunch. Michael and I actually had a good time but I still refused to look at him. We were heading towards the gymnasium when he asked me a question.

Michael: Suzanne?

Suesie: You can call me Suesie.

Michael smiled but it soon faded.

Michael: Suesie, Why won't you look at me?

Suesie: Because I-.. I.. I don't know. I guess it's a habit.

I lied.

Michael: You guess?

Suesie: Yeah, I guess.

Michael furrowed his eyebrows and looked at me for a while. After a few seconds Michael bursted out laughing. Soon afterwards he stopped.

Michael: I know that you are lying to me Suesie, I can detect it. So tell me, what's the real reason that you refuse to look at me?

I didn't answer. I was speechless and I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to tell him but I had too now.

Suesie: Because I don't want to.

It wasn't exactly a lie. I mean, it is actually part of the reason why I didn't want look at him.

Michael: Oh really? And why is that?

Suesie: I just don't.

I was looking inside of the library's windows, just watching the people read. Michael looked at me with pleading eyes and placed his hand onto my shoulder. I looked at his hand and where it was placed. What the heck? Why is his hand there? Then I heard Michael speak.

Michael: Please Suesie? Just once? One little look.

I sighed and shook my head after thinking about it.

Suesie: No, I'm good.

Michael placed his other hand onto my other shoulder.

Michael: Suzanne please.

I hesitated but I gave in sighing.

Suesie: Fine, I'll look.

Michael removed one of his hands from my shoulder and placed it upon my chin. Michael moved my head towards his face and smiled.

Michael: You have beautiful eyes Suzanne.

Suesie: Thank you.

I said quickly turning around and looking down. He smelled so good.

Suesie: C-can we get on with this tour please?

I was traumatized by his eyes and his touch. I was so effected that I was starting to stutter so I stopped talking after that statement and just nod my head instead. Michael smiled and walked right beside me, glancing at me every so often.

Michael: When lunch comes, I need you to sit beside me for more information.

Suesie: I think I can manage on my own Michael.

Michael: Please, feel free to call me Mike for short.

I let out a shaky sigh and nodded.

Suesie: Okay Mike.

Michael smiled at me. I tried to ignore it but it was so wide, unavoidable, and beautiful. My eyes snapped into his direction and I tried to look away but failed. I wasn't watching where I was going and almost ran into a window when we were turning. Michael saw me stumble and chuckled.

Michael: Be careful Sue.

Oh my lord. That smile..

Suesie: I am careful.. I just.. Got distracted.

Michael grinned wide and responded.

Michael: And what was distracting you?

I didn't know what to say. I made something up that was half true.

Suesie: I.. I was daydreaming..

Michael: About?

Michael said stepping in front of me without warning, causing me to bump into his chest. I looked at what I bumped into and then backed up.

Suesie: Don't worry about it.

Michael put his hands up in defense and stepped out of my way.

Michael: Sorry Sue.

We started to walk again when Michael started grinning again. I closed my eyes, found the nearest wall, sat down on the floor to stop myself from looking at him.

Michael: Hey Sue, what's wrong?

Suesie: Nothing.. I'm just.. Tired of walking.

Michael smiled again and sat beside me.

Michael: Alright then. We'll take a little break until you want to move around again.

I nodded and laid my head back against the wall. I soon found myself drifting and I started to dream. I dreamt about Michael's beautiful eyes and Christopher. I dreamt about this school and how to get around. I woke up a little bit later to someone lightly shaking me. I moaned. I did not want to get up.

Michael: Sue. Suesie. Wake up.

I put my hood over my head and dug my face deeper into something. 'Wait, what the?' I thought as I quickly opened my eyes alarmed. I looked at what I laying on and was convoluted.

I turned so that I was facing the ceiling. I saw nothing but blurriness at first but then I rubbed my eyes a few times and blinked. I was about to go back to sleep when a face appeared which caused my eyes to bulge out of my face.

Michael: Hello Sue. Sleep well?

I gasped and quickly sat up, checking my surroundings. I'm still in the hallway.. Alone.. With Michael..

Suesie: Oh lord.

I panted under my breath. Michael placed his hand upon my shoulder which caused me to jump and him to slightly smile.

Michael: Calm down Sue. It's just me.

I turned my head towards him and blinked once before I stood up. Michael stood up in front of me.

Suesie: Is this tour over?

I asked, I truly wanted to go back into my dorm and never come out again after this day.

Michael: No. Why?

Suesie: Can it be over?

I said groggily because the sleepiness was still in my voice.

Michael: I'm sorry Sue, but It can't. For one thing you start school tomorrow and it's only 6:37 In the morning.

Great.. I get the golden opportunity to spend twelve more hours with him.. Could this get any worst? I mean, he's the sexist person that I've ever seen but he's the principal's son and he has to show me around this school! I mean, why me? Why must you torture me with your son's utterly irresistible looks and a soft gentle voice along with that gorgeous smile! I swear, Mr. Jackson did this on purpose..
I sighed and nodded as I began to walk with him. We didn't speak unless he started the conversation that usually end within thirty seconds.. Literally.

Michael: Sue, I know what you were staring at.

I stopped walking and my eyes got wide as I blushed while looking down. I stood there rocking back and forth on the heels of my shoes. Michael stopped walking and turned around. He walked towards me and stood in front of me as if waiting for something.I hesitated to answer but when I did it came out as a soft whisper at first but then I cleared my throat and said it again in a strong voice that sounded bold.

Suesie: What was I looking at then?

Michael: Me.. To be more specific, my eyes or my lips.

I stiffened. I couldn't move.

Suesie: Why would I be looking there?

Michael: Why were you looking there?

Michael said grinning. I scoffed and started to walk off. Michael caught up with me and was grinning wider than what I thought was possible.

Suesie: What do you want Michael?

I said slightly annoyed.

Michael: Why were you looking there?

I was prepared to lie but I failed to convince him.

Suesie: I wasn't looking at you. Why would I want to? Not to be rude or anything, but why? I mean, don't get me wrong your gorgeous and all but-.. Oh shit..

I said realizing what I had just said and put my hand on my forehead as I shook my head. Michael was grinning but stopped when I cussed.

Michael: You shouldn't be using those nasty words. They don't make you look good as in, you are a lady and ladies should use nice words.

I glanced up at Michael but I was too deep into my thoughts to notice Michael getting closer to me. when I looked at Michael, I apologized and looked back down. Michael nodded and lift up my head with his index finger. I was speechless. 'Lord help me!' I thought as I was looking directly into Michael's eyes.

Michael: Lord help you what?

Michael said, giving me a serious but convoluted look.

Suesie: Nothing.

I shook my head and tried to look down but Michael made me look back up at him.

Michael: Okay.. But Sue, I never want to hear those words part from your lips again. Please, promise me that you'll never use profanity again.

I shook my head and sighed as I tried to look down once again but Michael once again made me look at him.

Suesie: I can't promise you but I'll try.

Michael smiled but It grew wider as he began to speak once again.

Michael: Thank you. Now, about me being gorgeous..

Suesie: Oh god..

I said shying away. I turned around with my back facing Michael and stared out the window but I only saw the reflection of Michael & I in this see-through mirror that they call a window. Michael was approaching me and rested his hands upon my shoulders. Michael began to speak directly into my ear.

Michael: It's okay. I get that a lot.

Michael said slightly chuckling. I groaned.

Suesie: What time is it.

I said turning around.. Big mistake.

Michael: The time is now.

Michael joked but he wasn't lying. I stood there in annoyance as Michael was having a laughing fit. Michael saw my serious expression, immediately cleared his throat, and stopped laughing.

Suesie: Seriously?..

Michael: Um.. 8:09.

Michael said checking his clock.

Suesie: Nice..

Michael gave me a sympathetic look and seemed hurt.

Michael: Why are you so gloomy?

Suesie: Why are you so childish?

Michael's eyes got big at that statement and he connected his eyebrows together as his jaw tightened. Michael put his hand in his pocket and let the other just hang. I think I just made him mad..

Michael: Why you say that?

Michael said as his eyebrows raised themselves higher.

Suesie: Grow up Michael. You are in high school and not just any high school. Your dad is the principal here and you are playing around way too much. Please maintain your composure and let's hurry up so that we can finnish this tour.

Michael lightly chuckled as he let his thumb go down his chin and then let his hand hang. Michael looked up at me with a serious look and got closer to me. Michael took in some air as he prepared to speak.

Michael: So I'm childish right?

Michael said while looking down.

Suesie: Yes, you are.

I said in a soft and nervous whisper.

Michael came close to my face and stopped when we were only centimeters away from each other. I looked up Michael and his hands rested themselves upon my face. Michael's eyes traveled down to where I think were my lips and slowly smiled. Michael slowly moved his lips closer to mine and brushed them lightly against mine. That made me want to kiss him even more than I wanted to already. I started to breathe heavily and I closed my eyes..

But I just stood there waiting on something that seemed like forever. I opened one eye and looked around. Nobody there..
I looked down and covering my eyes. I felt stupid. Why did I let myself go so easily? I should have known better than this.

Suesie: God, why am I so stupid.

I said to myself, letting my head hit the wall. I looked back down and buried my face inside of my hands. I heard footsteps approaching me and I looked up. It was Michael. He stood there giving me a serious look with one hand inside of his pocket.

Michael: I can act serious anytime I want to also. I just choose to enjoy my youth and have fun while it lasts. You can't expect everyone to act the way that you want them to or as you do.

I sighed, embarrassed at my actions towards Michael and looked away from him.

Suesie: I'm sorry Michael.

Michael chuckled as he smiled and made me look at him.

Michael: I have to admit that you looked pretty cute when I was about to kiss you. I mean you had the most beautiful expression on your face.

I bushed and looked down trying to stop smiling. I was so embarrassed.

Michael: I guess I have some type of affect on you Suzanne.

I instantly shot my head up at Michael and spoke in an stern tone.

Suesie: You most certainly do not!

I said pointing at Michael as I said my statement.. Let me to rephrase that.. My lie.. Then I stood there and crossed my arms as Michael smiled at me. I tried hard not to give in and stop looking at Michael but I couldn't.. I rolled my eyes and started walking away.

Michael: Sue, wait up.

Michael said laughing. When Michael caught up with me, he put his hand upon my shoulder and continued to laugh hysterically. I stopped walking when he touched me. I got chills down my spine.
Yes, I know.. I lied. Michael has an affect on me..
Michael turned me around towards him and tried to maintain his composure but only last about ten seconds. I rolled my eyes as I sighed.

Suesie: Hilarious..

I growled under my breath.

I walked away again ignoring Michael's comments.

Michael: Suzanne come on. I was just kidding.

Suesie: You play too much.

Michael: Wait a minute. Where are you going? The tour isn't even over!

Suesie: It is for me.

Michael: Sue! Suesie please come back!

I shortly arrived to my room after ignoring numerous calls from Michael. No.. He didn't 'call' me, he yelled after me. I just laid back on my bed and thought about today. but mainly the kiss.. Well, the almost kiss..
