Learn to love- Prologue

I think I knew it from the first day I saw him.
I ran into that room so fast, and well I was late and it was my first day of college, oh well old habits die hard.
Anyway I had been put on the table with one other girl and 8 boys, three of which were very attractive, so trying to keep my cool that day was proving difficult, there was only really one of them I liked and his name was Paul, he was sheer perfection to me, he only had one downfall and that was his girlfriend. Paul was kinda short but taller then me and had dark hair spiked and his ear pierced.
I found out that very soon I had most of my lessons in the same room as him, but I always kept my distance, no matter what, there was no way I was going to compromise my work, because of a guy, it just wasn’t going to happen, not to me and not this year.
I made friends very easily, and the girl I spent most of my time with was called Kristy, she seemed a bit of a bitch on the first day but when you spend more time with people you find they aren’t all that bad.

I thought I would tell you about my first year at college and the first step into a world I never knew existed… a place that seems so magical and so amazing, you really do wonder if you are dreaming.

And tell you about the friends I met along the way, the teachers I pissed off ever so frequently and how I dealt with my boy problems- Paul.

Well I suppose I should tell you a bit about myself, my name is Bethanie, but my friends call me Beth, I have straight Brown hair and brown eyes to match, Im a very plain looking girl and very ordinary. Im 16 years old, I have a twin brother who needs his head seriously damaging, he is too smart for his own good, his name is Jason.
I have five best friends, I have known them since year 9, since I moved to the area really and they invited me to join there little group, trust me I was very thankful I don’t think I would have been able to cope otherwise. Siobhan was quite short and has blue-green eyes and her hair is dyed bright red, on anyone else it would look stupid but it suited her down to the ground she was very shy, but if you brought up a certain subject i.e. Mark Read she could go for ages, he was a boy in our year who was very friendly, he liked to talk to everyone I don’t think it was his friendly nature that interested her the most though, he was a god, 6 foot tall, with brown short hair and really nice green eyes and all round musical genius, but as soon as it came to Siobhan talking to him she would usually feel sick and run out of the room, even with this all evident to Mark he didn’t know she liked him, infect he thought she hated him.
Then there was Kaz, she was one of the funniest Girls I knew and always chasing any lad that looked in her direction, you could say she was man mad, but no one knew what type she went for and if she had any intention of finding a steady boyfriend. She managed to get lads pretty easily, her black hair instantly got there attention and then her big brown eyes won them over.
Then we have Lisa and Shreena, those two are inseparable, they did everything together, but they were like Chalk and Cheese, they would like to think they had everything in common but infact they didn’t, Shreena has brown hair and brown eyes and Lisa has blond hair and brown eyes. The only thing they have in common was Ben Adams, the school stud; he was the typical pretty boy, brown hair in curtains and big blue eyes he too enjoyed his music.
Then you have Hanne, well she is absolutely insane. She transferred from Norway in year 8 and she is the one you go to if you need to seriously have fun, she is so mad and weird that you know your are going to enjoy yourself she has black hair and Blue-green eyes, it was so much fun when we were all together though, we had sleep-overs every month and chatted about anything and everything until the early hours and never got bored.


Well there you have it, all of us in the same college and all of us being the same as ever except now with Paul in the picture I didn’t know how I was going to survive.
