The First Day of School Led to the First Day of Love Chapter 1: The first day of school is always the worst, they say. Not so much for my case. On my immediate arrival, I met: my future best friend, the student body president, the guy everyone loved being around, no matter what mood you were in. When I walked in the doors, his friendly little teenage hand stuck itself out towards me, inviting me to grip it in favor. I hadn't really noticed he existed, being the new kid, I was extremely nervous. Being greeted in such a proper manner came as a shock at first, then I accepted the gesture, shaking his hand. I was staring at my feet while doing so, afterwards, I looked up and was hit with a wave of awe. His sharp, piercing blue eyes contrasted by his golden blonde hair and his solid white small teeth made him.. pop out compared to other people. He was my height, maybe a half inch shorter. He was wearing a simple black t-shirt under his gray relaxed jacket that appeared to be rather dated (later revealed he held this jacket pretty closely.) His skin wasn't exactly tanning bed for 48 hours straight tan, but he wasn't paper-white. While I'll admit we looked a bit alike, describing our qualities makes us sound eerily different. While we both had similar haircuts (or lack-of, we both had shoulder-length hair), similar skin tone, hair color, and height, our facial features and our eye colors were completely different. We complement each other quite nicely. I'm about 9 months older than he is, but this isn't reflected in our personas. As of writing this, I am about to turn 16, he is barely 15. We are in the same grade, this took place when we were both 14. "Hi!" He exclaimed with a smile on his dimpled face. "Hello.." I shyly muttered. He laughed weakly and looked at me warmly. I felt kind of safe in his presence and I hoped I could feel like that all the time. …but everything was about to change
