*Chapter 1*

James laughed and I watched my car keys disappear off into the darkness and over into my neighbor's yard. I didn't know them well since I had just moved her a week ago from Athens, Greece but it didn't matter much. I probably wouldn't get to know them, anyway. Hell, I don't even know that they look like.
“Fuck you,” I said to James, but grinned anyway. He smirked back and I turned to go get the keys from our neighbour's.
Earlier I had invited my friends over – James and Damean. I may have of moved here from Greece, but it wasn't my first time in America or even in this town. I had friends here, and they were all glad to have me back.
Anyway, we'd been in the basement all night playing pool and smoking cigarettes. There was no beer in the house, and even if there was I wouldn't have drank very much although I'm sure James and Damean would. I'm not a big drinker, especially since the last time I'd gotten drunk which was about a month ago at my friend Tony's house. I woke up not remembering anything and with a sore body from bruises. I guess I was running into everything the night before, or so that's what everyone else said. My mom found out where I was and came and got me and I was so sick I was puking like you don't even know for the next two days. I was grounded forever too, and so life just sucked for a while. Getting drunk definitely was not worth it. Never again.
I walked into our neighbor's yard, looking for my keys but it was hard because it was dark and they hadn't cut their goddamn grass in a million years and so the grass was thick. Finally, the shiny part of the silver ring caught my eye and I wandered towards it – it was more towards the house, by a lit window which had it's blinds open. I bent over and picked them up, slipping the ring over my index finger. Once I stood back up though, my eyes were level with the window and I could've sworn to anybody in the world I was looking at the most motherfucking beautiful girl in the universe.

*Chapter 2*

I stared for a long time, just watching her. She mezmorized me bad, she was so perfect. She had platinum blonde hair which was short and lookedlike it might've been layered but I wasn't sure because it was wet. She loked like she was about 5'3, short and cute, just how I liked them. Her skin was pale, like that of a china dolll's but what really made her stand out where her eyes which showed that she was patially asian. That's what made her look exotic.
She might've seen me but I wasn't sure. I didn't really care, either. She was just really good looking and she was naked. She had obviously just gotten out of the shower and she was drying herself off, rubbing the terry cloth towel against her body in a sensual way... It was almost like she knew I was watching but I was certain she didn't. Then she dropped the towel on the floor and sauntered out of the room fully naked and I could feel a few throbs down in my groin. Biting my lower lip, I moved quickly to the next window over to see if I could see her again but I couldn't. The blinds were shut.
She was way too good looking for me anyway, even if most girls thought I was cute. Just by looking at her I could tell I could never wrap a girl like her around my finger. She looked smart, cunning, beautiful, bittersweet... She was way too good. As for me, I was the complete opposite with the way I dressed and looked, or so I thought. I wore those ripped jeans, except I didn't buy them that way. It just happened from skateboarding. I wore the studded belts, band shirts, and the chuck taylors which were currently on my feet and on the verge of falling apart whereas she looked like she dressed to kill. I could tell, just by seeing some of the clothes she had laying around in her room through the window.
I stayed there for a moment before I turned and walked over to James, looking at the keys in my hand in thought.
“What took you so long, man? What did you see in the window?”
“Nothing,” I answered, lying. I had a huge jealousy problem.
“Are you sure?”
“Positive.”
James looked at me and I knew he was searching my face for something, but I gave off nothing.
“Well, hey,” he finally said just as Dame was coming out the front door of my house. “We're gonna take off before your mom and Troy get home and try to run us over with the SUV.”
I nodded, dropping my keys into my pocket. “Okay,” I said. “I'll see you later then... tomorrow, at school or something?”
James nodded and Dame came up, holding a cigarette between his fingers. “I'll see you later,” he said and started towards James' truck which was an old gray Ford.
I nodded again. “Yeah,” I said, and hooked my thumbs on the hem of my pockets. James wandered off and got in the truck, starting it up. Once the headlights came on I squinted and watched them pull out of the driveway. Once they were gone down the road, I turned back to my nbeighbor's house just watching until I saw something in the form of a cat run around the side, obviously chasing something. Frowning, I started to walk towards it in hopes of getting another glance of the beautiful blonde through the window. Halfway there, I heard some one yelling out the window.
“Fuck you, stupid kitty!” She yelled, and damn, she was loud.
I wondered if it was the blonde girl but soon enough she ran out the door and tried chasing the cat but didn't see me. She ran smack into me with full force, causing me to stumble back. I felt her grip my forearms for support and I gripped her elbows as I regained my balance.
