“Class, please welcome our new student, Madden Channing. He just moved here from California.”
I look up from my desk to see him. He’s absolutely gorgeous. His long brown hair barely grazing his eyes. His deep blue eyes sparkling in the light. I immediately thought to myself, stop staring, he’ll probably going to think you’re a creeper or something. But of course, our eyes met, and he starts to smile back. I quickly turn away, and look out the window.
“Okay class, get back to work.”
Madden is still standing at the front of the room, still looking at me.
“Hayden, will you come up here please?”
Oh great, what’d I do now?
“Hayden, you’re going to be showing Madden around the school, where his classes are, and his locker’s going to be right next to yours.
” “Okay.” I mutter.
In just a few seconds the door is slammed behind us, and we’re thrown out in the hallway. I look over at Madden, he’s still smiling.
“What?” I ask him.
“Nothing.” he laughs.
Well, this is awkward now.

I show him where the lunch room is, where the gym is, and I ask to see his schedule. Looking at it, I think to myself that it looks very familiar. He has the exact same classes as me. I didn’t know what to think.
“If you just follow me, you’ll be fine.”
“Okay,”he says, still smiling.
This time I actually smile back.
“You have an ah-mazing smile.”
Not knowing what to say, I mutter,
“Oh, thanks.”
“What’s your number?” he asks.
“320-777-7777.”
“Kay, thanks.” he’s still smiling.
We don’t talk on the way back to the classroom, but I know one thing, I’m going to fall in love with this boy.

6 MONTHS LATER.

Walking hand in hand, with the boy you’re in love with, down the hall, makes you feel like you’re on top of the world. Nothing else matters but that person. This person just happens to be Madden. I’ve never looked back. He comes to a stop, let’s go of my hand, and turns around to face me.
“Hayden, I love you so much.”
“I love you too.” I smile back.
We kiss, and he says that he’ll see me tonight. He walks away, and I head over to my locker. I’m grinning the whole way over. Today’s our 6 month, and I was going to his house, later tonight. A year ago today, my dad died. I try to think about Madden again, but I couldn’t. I start crying, hopefully nobody sees me. I had to let it out, I still care about my dad more than anything, but I have Madden now.

I walk up the front steps and ring the doorbell, almost immediately the door opens, and Madden is standing there.
“Hey baby.”
Before I could say anything, he takes me into his arms. “
I love you.” I whisper into his ear.
“I love you too baby.”
I come into his house, and he shuts the door behind me.
“My parents are out for the night, so we’ll have the house to ourselves. I even rented the Notebook, cause I know you love that movie.”
I’ve had a few boyfriends over the years, but I’d never think that I would find a boy more perfect than him. I love Madden more than words could ever explain. He’ll always be there for me. Always by my side. We’ve been inseparable since day 1. I never wanted to let go.

In the middle of the movie, he looks out the window, grabs me by the hand, and bolts out the front door. “Madden, it’s pouring out! What are we doing ou-“
Before I could finish, he takes my face in his hands and kisses me, in the rain.
“You always said that you wanted to be kissed in the rain, so here you go.”
“I love you Madden Channing.” I said, looking into his eyes.
“I love you Hayden Carson.”
We walk back to the house, hand in hand. But before he could open the door, his parents pull into the driveway. “Get in the car! We’ll bring Hayden home.” says his dad.
