Hi, my name is El, short for Eleven. I have 2 best friends; Dustin & Lucas. This is the story of how my life changed in the span of a few weeks. These few weeks brought drama, new friends & love into my life.

I walked into first period and that's when I saw her. A beautiful girl with wavy, ginger hair and sparkling blue eyes. Freckles were splattered across her cheeks like a constellation of stars.

I think I was staring for a while because I heard Lucas calling me and he sounded agitated.

"El!" he whisper shouted.

"Huh?" I replied and snapped out of my staring to look at him.

"Why are you staring at Maxine?" I saw a shadow of a grin when he said this as though he suspected something. I don't know what he's suspecting or thinking about. It's not as though I have a crush on her. She's just pretty.

"Uh..I wasn't staring at her, Lucas." I rolled my eyes playfully as I replied.

"Hm.." he said sceptically.

It was second period and that's when I saw her again. She was sitting there kind of glaring at everyone with her arms folded across her chest.

"Why do I think she's so beautiful?" I thought to myself.
