-love at first sight-

Preface

As I sat on the plane, I thought about how my life would be like in Springfield Illinois.

Many thoughts went through my head. Would it really help me forget?

Can I really forget about my past, if so how could it even be possible?

I wondered if my dad would take me back after everything he went through with my mom.

I wondered if I was entitled to a happy ending, or ever after or maybe someday even love.

And so on…my mind just doubted.

I couldn’t stop thinking about how much my life would change after the move.

The plane landed and I sighed.

Welcome to Springfield, I thought and sighed again.

‘’Know this new girl coming?’’ Brandon laughed punching my shoulder.

I shrugged. ‘’Why would I know her?’’

He shrugged his broad shoulders. ‘’Because, I hear she’s smoking hot.’’

I wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone, much less about this stupid new girl. Why did everyone think I knew her? Or even cared?

‘’What does that have to do with me?’’ I asked furiously.

He laughed. ‘’Because you’ve dated all the pretty ones, surely you know them all by heart.’’

‘’So?’’ He frowned at my quietness—apparently it was a weird thing for them.

I sighed. ‘’So what?’’

‘’What’s her name?’’

‘’Just stop pestering me about this stupid new girl, dammit.’’ I snapped.

‘’Whoa Seth. Relax.’’

A few moments of silence lasted.

‘’Know what?’’ He asked, not giving up.

‘’Let’s make a bet.’’ He laughed.
