Chapter 1

Alyssa POV

I groggily rubbed my eyes to free myself of the sleep that still resided in my eyes. Looking at the night clock kept on my side table I noticed the time, it read 6:30 am. I got out of bed and walked over to the bathroom.

In about 15 minutes, I was ready and finished with my morning routine. I walked out of my room and went over to Brandon, my younger brother's room.

Brandon is 13 and will be a freshman next year while I'm 18 and am in my senior year at Silverstone High. When I was 4 my dad died due to an accident and left my pregnant mum and me to fetch for ourselves.

Once Brandon was born, my mum started to apply for jobs and now she works 3 jobs and is always out of the house. So, I look after Brandon and the house. To help my mum more, I also have a job at a Starbucks café near my school.

Anyway, I go over to Brandon and wake him up to get ready for school. I then go down to the kitchen and prepare our lunch, while doing that I remind myself to go grocery shopping after school.

A little while later at around 7:15 am, I walk Brandon off at his bus station and wait for my best friend, Emma, to pick me up.

Emma has been my best friend since we were in diapers and her parents treat me and Brandon like their own kids. I'm so glad that I have her in my life.

At around 7:45 am, we reach school and meet up with my guy best friend, Dylan. The three of us are know as The Musketeers of our school. I am a very popular kid at school because I am the captain of our school's soccer team and I get amazing grades in all my subjects.

The three of us make our way to the office to grab our schedules and say hi to few people in the hallways.

I only have 4 classes this year as I studied extremely hard to get enough credits to graduate earlier than the others.

After comparing our schedules I notice that I have 2 classes with Emma and 1 with Dylan. I have my last class that is AP English alone with some new teacher named Ms. Willow.

We chat for a bit and go to our classes. My first two classes went by with me and Em talking and making fun of our old grumpy teacher Mr. Olson.

My third class was history and was spent with me and Dylan sleeping at the back. Soon enough it was time for my last class.

I went to the classroom and the teacher wasn't here yet. English was my forte and I loved writing and reading. So, I took my seat in the middle row waiting for the teacher to come and start the lesson.

I started talking to some of my class mates until I heard the sounds of heels clicking. I slowly lifted my gaze up, and my jaw was basically touching the floor.

There stood the most gorgeous woman I had ever laid eyes on.

She had blonde hair, deep hazel eyes and was around 5'7. I couldn't take my eyes off her.

She took her place at the podium and said, "Good afternoon everyone! I'm Isabelle Willow, Ms. Willow to you. I'm looking forward to know you all and have a fun school year!"

Looking at her, anyone could have mistaken her as a student. She looked so young and vibrant.

I mentally slapped myself to bring my thoughts back to reality and stop drooling over her.

In my head I told myself," This is gonna be one hell of an year!! It's going to be so hard concentrating in class now!!"
