The first time I saw him, I was falling.
Literally.
It was a typical Monday morning at Springdale High, the sun shining brightly through the windows, casting a warm glow over the bustling hallways. I was running late, as usual, my feet pounding the stairs as I rushed to get to my first-period class on time.
But, of course, fate had other plans.
My feet tangled in the hem of my jeans, and I felt myself flying through the air, my books scattering everywhere. Time seemed to slow down as I watched, helpless, as my notebooks and folders slid down the stairs, coming to rest in a messy heap at the bottom.
I landed with a thud, my palms scraping against the cold floor. I winced, feeling a surge of embarrassment wash over me. Great, just great. This was exactly how I wanted to start my day.
As I struggled to get up, a hand grasped mine, pulling me to my feet. I looked up, expecting to see a teacher or a classmate rushing to my aid. But instead, I saw him.
The most piercing blue eyes stared back at me, sparkling with amusement. His hair was messy and sandy-blond, and his smile... oh, his smile was like nothing I'd ever seen before.
For a moment, time froze.
We just stood there, staring at each other, the chaos of the hallway fading into the background. I felt like I was drowning in those blue eyes, unable to look away.
And then, he smiled.
I felt my heart stumble, like I was falling all over again. This time, though, it wasn't just my feet that were tangled – it was my whole entire being.
"Hey, you okay?" he asked, his voice low and smooth.
I nodded, still feeling dazed. "Y-yeah, I'm fine."
He chuckled and handed me my scattered books. "Well, if you're sure... I'm Max, by the way."
I took my books from him, our fingers touching briefly. "I'm... Aria."
As we parted ways, I couldn't shake off the feeling that my life was about to change in ways I never could have imagined.
Little did I know, I was already falling – falling for the boy with the piercing blue eyes, and falling into a world of love,
