Chapter 2I sat alone on the bench in the park, watching children playing with their parents. Some were flying kites, some were having a picnic... Laughter filling the air as each and everyone of them were having a great time. I've always wondered what it felt like, just me and my parents having fun like a real family. No cellphones, no e-mails, and no secret conference. I wanted to be the center of attention, not some business deal in Europe. I sigh and a single tear rolls down my cheek. I'm about to leave when i feel a pair of hands cup my face. I look up and i'm mesmerised by his eyes. Hazel eyes with a hint of gold in them. His brown hairtossled by the wind. He used his finger to wipe away the tear that had fallen.He then flashed me a dazzling smile and i felt my whole body go weak. He pulledme up and motioned for me to follow him. I let him pull me further away from thepark until the sound of the childrens laughter had fade away. I wasn't scared,I just wanted to be alone with this stranger. He pulled away from me after we reached a house, he walked to the front door and turned around smiling at me. I started to go towards him when i felt a sharp poking pain near my stomach. The pain was so intence and i crumbled to the floor..

"Sage? Wake up!" I could hear Liz's voice trying to wake me up. I tossed a pillow at her hoping she'll get the hint and leave me alone. "Ouch! You messed up myhair. You'll paid for this!" Liz shouted. I snorted and rolled on my side tryingto fall back asleep. The next thing i knew, i was being attacked by a pillow. I

rolled over to see Liz holding a pillow and using it to whack me. I rolled again and landed with a thud. Crap, i've landed on the floor again. "Sage, are you ok?" Liz asked while giggling. "This means WAR!!!" I got up and turned to her. Grabbed my pillow and we started a pillow fight. We were both laughing and didn'trealized Annie had come in. "If you two have finished playing, will you get ready for school now?" Annie said while folding my comforter. I gave Liz a look andshe nodded and put down her pillow and headed towards my closet. I immediately ran after her and gave her a full blow. She turned around and started to say something but i grabbed my towel and ran into the bathroom and locked the door. "Sage, i'll get you for that." I heard Liz banging on the bathroom door. I laughed and got into the shower.

Feeling refreshed after the shower, i changed into my outfit of the day which consist of a pair of jeans, Breaking Benjamin concert t-shirt and a pair of boots.I looked myself over in my mirror and was pleased with what i saw. Liz was already downstairs in the kitchen eating and talking to Annie when i walked in the kitchen. "Morning Annie." I gave Annie a peck on her cheek and sat down beside Liz. "Morning Sage. What would you like for breakfast? Bacon? Toast?" Annie askedme. "Some cereal will do Annie." I smiled at her as Annie pulled out a box of coco crunch. She poured some into a bow and handed it to me. "Where's mum and dad?" I asked Annie while pouring milk into my bowl of cereal. "They went out earlyto meet some friends." Annie replied. Figures, I seldom saw my parents even whenthey were back home. And after what happened last night, i was glad that they were out.

*Flashback*

"I'm sorry mum. I lost track of time." I explained to my mum who was sitting infront of me."Sorry just isn't good enough Josie. Do you know how worrie you and your fatherwere?" my mum frown at me. Shit, this is not going to end well for me. I turnedto my dad for help. His face was even scarier than my mum's."Do you know what could have happend to two girls late at night? Imagine the dan

gers you put yourself into. What if you were mugged? or worse rapped?" My dad shuddered as he spoke."You're grounded!" my mum said. Grounded? I haven't been grounded since i was 14."For how long?" I asked and look at my dad who just gave me a weak smile."Until I say so. Now go upstairs and get some rest. You have school tomorrow." My mum said to me. She then took her briefcase and went into the study. My dad came over and gave me a hug and followed my mum into the study. I sulked up into my room.

*End of flashback*

Liz and i reached school and walked into homeroom together. The first bell rangand Mr. Jackson walked in. As usual we ignored him and he called the attendance. I was talking to Liz about this movie i wanted to see when i saw this guy walkinto the class. He had brown hair but i couldn't make out his face cause his back was faced towards me. He handed Mr. Jackson a note. Hmm.. must be a new student.

"Sage, have you finished your maths homework?" Sarah who had maths with me turned to ask me blocking my view of the new guy. "Yeap, hang on and i'll give it toyou." I smile at Sarah and bend down to my bag and search for my maths homework.

As i was searching for it, I heard Mr. Jackson clear his throat. "Listen up class, we have a new student. Now please introduce yourself to the class." I finally found my maths homework and as i straighten up to check out the new guy. My heart stopped and i dropped my maths homework on the floor. "Sage, what's wrong?"Liz turned and asked me. I couldn't tear my eyes away from his eyes. He caughtme staring at him and looked straight at me. "Hello, my name is Shane." He gaveme a dashing smile and my heart started beating a hundred miles per minute.

The guy from my dream is real and is standing right in front of me..

As the rest of the class continued with their mindless chatter, my eyes were still focus on the guy from my dream as he moved towards the empty chair two rows away from me. So many questions were running through my head. Who is he? Why is h

e here? Why did i dream of him? I was so lost in my thoughts that the bell hadrung until Liz poked me in the arm and dragged me to our next class which wasEnglish.

"Did you check out the new guy? He's a hunk. I wouldn't mind giving him my attention." Liz said while pulling out her English notes as we sat in our seats. "Yeah." I mumbled as i was still obsessing about him and listening to Liz chatter about the new guys wasn't helping my thoughts at all. His face, my dreams were all spinning around in my head. Somehow, i knew that i needed to get more information about him. Where was he from? Why did he move here? Is he staying with his parents? What colour did he like? Wait, this is al getting out of hand. I neededto get my head straigh and stop obsessing about the new guy. As for the man frommy dream, it was only a dream. It is a coincident that Shane looked like him ri

ght? Shane, what a beautiful name, just repeating his name over and over again in my head made me feel all warm inside. Wait, what? There's must be something wrong with me. I haven't been this way over a guy after the whole Kane incident when I was 13.

Kane was this popular guy at school and i was the "nerd" back then. None of theother kids would glance my way and I remained in the shadows avoiding the otherkids. I was contented with just being alone. My books were all I need. The popular kids ruled the school and did as they please. Hurling mean abusive words to whoever was caught in their cross fire. Kane was a part of the popular group and

as much as my brain told me to stay away from him, I couldnt stop my heart poundinga miles a minute every time he glance my way. He was always there for me andalways managed to bring a smile to my face. Needless to say i fell for him. Whatwas i supposed to do? He had the good looks and he was my knight in shining armor until the day he kissed me. I was so happy that i didn't even noticed he tooka picture of us kissing. Then the next day at school when i approached him andgave him a peck on the cheek, he pushed me to the floor and shouted at me. "You're stupid, you know. Did you ever think that i would really go for someone likeyou? I lost a bet and I had to make out with an ungly loser and you fitted the bill but now it's done i don't want to see you ugly face anywhere near me." And with that he took off with his friends leaving me shocked and hurt, too stunned to even cry. Even since that day, I have never trusted another guy ever since.
