"You can't catch me!" I screamed and started running. He chased after me and soon enough he caught me.

Suddenly,it started raining. He twirled me around in the rain and we were both laughing in excitement. He put me down when we were both out of breath. When we regained our composure,he looked into my blue eyes.

"I love you Kayra",he whispered and I smiled. I closed my eyes as he leaned in to kiss me

                     ***********************

Meet Kayra Summers,a typical high school girl who has made up her mind to get out of that prison they call school without any sort of drama or trouble. But her plans may be thwarted when Jayson Bradshaw decides to change his time table in the middle of the semester.

Jayson Bradshaw is well known as the mysterious bad boy of North Hills High. Having anything to do with him...well is a mystery because no one knows who he really is,and Kayra definitely does not want to know what that mystery is.

Did she think it was going to be that easy to succeed in avoiding him? Especially since he lives just across the street.


The Boy across the Street

I greeted the librarian when I got to her desk. She didn't remember me, that's good I guess. I scanned the room and I saw him, Jayson, sitting at one of the tables in the corner. He had earphones on, I didn't know if that was allowed in the library or not but he was lost in whatever he was listening to. I was actually surprised when I saw him there. I was half expecting him to be late or not show up at all. 


"Hi", I said when I walked over to the table. He didn't hear me 


"Hi", I said again but I tapped his shoulder this time. He took off his headphones and looked up. He gave a look I assumed said, what?! 


"Um... I'm here, for our project work. One hour, remember?" 


He can't tell me he has forgotten he asked me to meet him here. If not because of that, why would he be here anyway? 


"Oh yeah. Let's get on with it then. Just an hour."
