Chapter 1 First Met

Georgia's consciousness is now alive, but she doesn't want to open her eyes yet. She can hear the sounds below, the kitchen utensils her mother uses when she cooks, and her distant voice, nagging George and Gabriela.

She slowly opened her eyelids and hurriedly closed it again when she saw her sister pop her head at her bedroom door,

" George, stand up and start moving. You won't want to be late on your first day of school. Aren't you?" Gabriella said.

Georgina pretended she didn't hear her sister talking and continued closing her eyes until she left the room.

She counted more than 10 minutes, still wanting to recall the last episode of her dreams, but no matter how much she tried to remember, She couldn't picture the scene.

In frustration and disappointment, She started to move her body and roll from my queen-sized bed, and looked up at the ceiling and saw the cute ceiling fan her father hung from last week's family move.

Her eyes are still adjusting to the new room even though she has been sleeping in that bed for almost one week; She touched her eyes and realized it was still swollen from her cry the previous night.

She didn't know why she felt so emotional, but she loved the life she left.

She can't believe she is 2,300 miles away from all the people they used to. Her father got an excellent opportunity to work in Starwood, Ashton City. Georgina knows she should be happy for her family. Her sister won't have to travel abroad to get a college degree because the city offers a good education.

Still, she was already attached to my old life. She didn't know how to start building her network again.

Georgina thought, It felt so strange not knowing her neighborhood. Her mother told her she shouldn't hide and to try to be friendly with everyone. Georgina knew she had to work on her attitude as she is still shy and reserved.

That's why she loves the life that she has. She has a few trusted friends, Amira, Marga, and Seth, and they get along well.

She heard her mother calling from downstairs, so she moved from the bed and went inside the bathroom. She could feel the cold water in her body and shiver but eventually, her skin adapted to the temperature.

She was enjoying the water and realized to move; She wondered what her school would look like. After the satisfying bath, Georgina grabs the towel from the headboard and wraps it around her wet body before going out, her eyes bulge are not that visible anymore from the mirror; she thought maybe it won't get noticed with some makeup and contour.

Sitting in a round pink chair with her favorite cushion, she picked up the pillow and threw it gauchely on her bed. She hurriedly finished her makeup in just 5 minutes and went down to the kitchen.

She saw her sister and parents already waiting for her. She didn't mind joining them but instead grabbed the sandwich and drank half of my milk and kissed everyone before heading outside the door. She heard her parents say something but she didn't understand it anymore.

Benjamin Clair was a huge school and she arrived earlier than she thought. She saw there were still a few students going inside the large gate in the school so she took her time walking the broad pavement, wandering her eyes from the school buildings. She was glad as it was comprehensive and modern and suddenly felt excited. It was far better than her old school.

Her eyes caught the first guy strolling towards her. His eyes are expressive, and he has a thick brow; Georgina can't keep her eyes away from him. He was a few feet away and she was looking in his eyes longer and suddenly, it was as if the world stopped for a second.

'Woaah what was that?' Georgina thought.

She didn't know why it happened and instantly felt guilty for looking too long in his direction. She turned away when he glanced back at her. When she felt his eyes were not on her anymore, she looked back at him; he was heading north, sure of his steps. She figures he is from the higher year since he seemed used to the whole place.

On her way to the main building, She saw a few students already; some gave her friendly smiles, and some didn't care. Georgina went to the basketball area. It was posted in the instructions that all students should head to the site for orientation.

She was comfortably sitting on one of the benches while her eyes caught the boy she met earlier. He was with a group, but looked unattached to any of them; his eyes were fixed on the floor, patiently waiting for the instructor. Georgia's thoughts shifted when someone called her attention.

" Pardon?" She asked the girl standing above her seat. " I'm sorry to interrupt your thoughts, but I was saying if I could sit beside you, the other group could be pretty loud," she said.

Georgina turned to the group of students the girl was speaking to. They also look disagreeable to her. She smiled and said, " Yeah, sure; my name is Georgina, grade 11 from section Amethyst.

"Really?" she heard the girl exclaim. Pamila introduced herself. "The names Pamila and I'm glad to know we are classmates." Georgina's smile widened as she motion her hand for highfive; it was good to know someone from her class, and Pamila looked nice. She thought they could get along. She looks like her vibe.

Her attention was diverted to her newfound friends; she didn't have any idea she had also caught Noah's attention on the other side and his eyes were fixed on her now.

Noah went to school earlier as he and his father argued earlier in their house. While heading to the school gate he saw a beautiful lady standing as if wandering obviously new to the school. She caught his attention because of her distinct beauty. And after he passed by her, he felt the world stop when he caught her eyes. Deja vu.

He looked at Georgina, he didn't know but something in her caught his attention but before he could feel anything he turned his head away in her direction.

Though he was not in the mood from his parents early nagging and fighting, he still try to look forward going to school. Ever since his mother had an affair he lost his respect for her, he was madder because his father knew about it and didn't even get surprised. After he saw his mother with another guy, he told his father about it right away but his reaction dismayed Noah as he didn't try to fix their problem.

Later he learned he was also having an affair with different women he met abroad. He shows it off to Noah one day when they are talking about his mother. It makes Noah disgust his family. If not for Pamila and Ryan he doesn't know how to move on. He remembers his father told him not to fall in love with anyone as it will only make him weak.
