**Point of view of Amber White**

The next day I woke up and got ready for school. I showered and all, then I choose to wear a white shirt tugged in a black skirt which reaches my mid-thigh and a skin color cardigan matched with white shoes and socks.

I went down to my kitchen to make myself something. I made myself some French toast and a cup of coffee. I placed them on the island and started eating while thinking of different things.

I just wish that today I don't have to see Ace's face anymore. I just want to avoid him. To tell you the truth my heart didn't listen to me when I was with him yesterday. Since yesterday whenever his thought crosses my mind, my heart will always start pounding fast like it's gonna explode.

He is dangerous for my life I know but he is more dangerous for my heart. He brings out, my emotions which I try too hard to hide. I even show him different expressions consciously.

I drive to school in my Jeep. As I parked and hopped out I meet Denise there.

"Hi, muffin you look beautiful as always," he said smiling showing his whites.

He has named me muffin, by the way, saying that I look like one, but I didn't quite get it.

"Thanks, Den" I mirrored his expiration.

I named him Den. I also started to smile for him a little since I like him and no one is here to tell dad so it should be fine. I am going to live this year to my heart content, till my heart will explode with happiness after this will be my first and last chance to do so.

We started walking to our first-class while talking about random things.

"Why didn't you come yesterday," I asked him, remembering that I didn't see him in the first-class cause that was the solo class that I attended yesterday.

"I had some urgent matter to attend" he replied after thinking for a while.

"Oh," I said my lips making an o. He is not telling me the truth, but I will just let it slide.

We entered the classroom and Den sees someone and runs towards the back. I followed him and saw it is the one and only Ace. Just wow. Now if you tell me that Den is Ace's best friend then it will be problematic.

It can't be anyway since if that was so I would have seen him with Den on the first day, but I didn't, and den was with me for the whole day.

"Muffin meet my best friend, Ace and Ace meet Ambe, she is really sweet and fun to talk to" what the hell I was just thinking.

If it is true, then he is Ace's right or left-hand crap. I should have thoroughly gone through the file that Sky gave me. Whys is all this happening to me.

But I guess I can't care less. Den Is nice and I like him, I mean like a brother. After all, he is the third friend that I ever have. I don't know about the others, but it means a lot to me.

As long as he doesn't know who I am then it will be all fine right? I mean if he doesn't know I get to spend more fun time what else can I ask for. Sometimes secrets are the reasons you are happy cause they can sometimes destroy all your happiness in a blink. I stared at Ace as he stared back and then started smirking as I raised an eyebrow as if asking ' what'.

"Ok, I guess that you both know each other" Den laughs awkwardly looking at us staring at each other.

"Ok, class sit-down the class is about to start" the teacher enters the class.

Ace sits near the window, I sit next to him, and next to me is Den. Okay so who exactly made this arrangement sit like this. I wasn't able to exactly chose my sit since we had to sit in a hurry.

Class started and in no time, I started getting sleepy, it's boring. I already know all of this. After some time, I feel a hand on my left thigh. My head snapped to the owner of the hand, Ace as he is sitting on my left side. He is smirking, devilishly. He leans to me and whisperers

"You look beautiful, kitten" his hot breath fans my ears as I feel my cheeks heating up.

"Are you blushing, kitten" he chuckles "you are so cute"

I hold his hands and try to push it away, but it won't budge. It's frustrating to say but I also can't use all my strength.

"Keep your hands to yourself" I hissed at him.

"Now now kitten, don't be like this," he said smirking as he slides his hand to my inner thigh.

It's like my skin is burning wherever his hand's touches and somehow, I like it. Does it feel that good to be intimate with someone? I don't know cause no one has ever touched me like that actually no one dared to.

I also never liked to get close to someone like this. I shake my head to clear my thought Damn, snap out of it Amber.

"I said keep your hands to yourself" I whispered angrily.

"How about this, meet me in my room at lunchtime and I promise not to do anything that you don't want," he thinks for a second and speaks again "for a while," he said still smirking.

I need to think of a way out. he slides his hand deeper making me yelp. I tried to push him away but failed.

"Amber are you ok, are you not feeling well," Den asked worriedly.

"Yeah, I am perfectly fine, don't mind me" I replied trying my best to hide my blush with a smile hoping he would buy it and he did.

Ace pinched me, not much but it made me flinch I manage to not make any type of sound, but I know I won't be able to hold it for long.

I can't also tell the teacher as Ace can get away with it without even blinking in fact, I will be the one in trouble and I don't want to be expelled from the school on my third day.

After calculating all the options, I think I should just do as he says for now. It's the best option that I have right now. We will see what happens later.

"Ok fine I will come, just get your hand off me," I responded after taking a deep breath.

"Good girl," Ace said.

He pulls back his hand and patted my head which I slapped away.

As soon as the class ended, I sprinted to the infirmary, wanting nothing but to get away from him. I entered and laid on the bed and skipped the next three classes while playing with my phone.

Ace is not good for my health. I act strangely when he is around. Have I fallen for him in this short amount of time? No, maybe I had fallen the time when I saw him for the first time.

Is this the love at first sight that mom talked about in her diary? She had written in her diary that she fell for Dad the movement she saw him, but I am not sure. Love can be complicated.

First, I need to confirm that what I am feeling is really love or not, and after that, things will depend on the answer I will get. It seems like the following days will be fascinating.

Den stopped by and asked how I was. He is so sweet I wish he would have been in my gang. It would have been so good. But still, I will be with him until he finds out and I hope he doesn't. I will always be his friend no matter what.
