I WAS FOURTEEN WHEN I FIRST SAW HIM. It had been my first time visiting Nolan's house since we had started being friends and we were in the kitchen working on homework.

"One time I had taken an entire nap through two of her classes and she didn't even notice." Aisling said whilst scribbling things down on her paper.

She was mad at one of her teachers, like usual. This time it was our math teacher. Apparently she had yelled at Aisling for not paying attention during class and Aisling thought it was hypocritical of her because she never pays attention in the class she's supposed to be teaching.

Aisling had received a lunch detention and ended up missing a fight between two of the lower classmen.

She hated missing fights.

"I'm just saying. Don't throw bricks from a glass house, if you know what I mean." She said, finally dropping her pencil.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I'm pretty sure every time her husband goes to the bar he cheats on her" Nolan chimed in, scratching the end of his nose with his eraser.

"Lad, what does that have to do with her terrible teaching ethics?" I asked at the same time Aisling said "good."

Nolan glared over at me "It has nothing to do with her teaching, I'm just trying to make Ais feel better"

Then the kitchen door snapped over and he walked in.

And to my fourteen year old self he was the most beautiful boy I had ever laid my eyes on.

I knew it then.

He would be mine.
