Chapter 1: the Science Project

Her name was Abigail Sanderson. Her crush was Connor Abney. it was nearly perfect, she had almost every class with Connor and sat near him too, but he didn't seem to know she existed. He was the popular swim team star and she was the nonentity that sat at the back of the room with only one friend. Just perfect.

It was ten minutes before the period ends, Abigail's teacher was announcing the partners for the new science project. All that Abigail's mind was focusing on was ship names for her and Connor: Abnner, Abinner, Conigail, etc.

"...And finally Connor Abney and Abigail Sanderson," the teacher announced.

Abigail's heart skipped a beat, Was this truly happening? she thought. Her partner was the most popular guy in school, her crush, the love of her middle school life, Abigail nearly fainted at that thought. She watched the way he walked, so gracefully, taking long strides. When Connor sat down next to her, Abigail couldn't help but stare, his brown, curly hair settling above his golden eyes, sitting within a sea of caramel skin spotted with chocolate chip freckles, every curve of his jaw, and every perfection.

"Hi, I'm Conner, and since we are working together on this big project, I figure it would help if we get to know each other first..."

And there was the bell, the hurricane that had come to ruin Abigail's time in paradise.
