Chapter One: Rayne

Caleb Danvers sat back and watched as his two friends Tyler Simms and Reid Garwin played pool. His girlfriend Sarah had dumped him and all he wanted was to sulk but the rest of the sons had dragged him out to Nicky's.

"Hey man, cheer up," Caleb's best friend Pogue Perry said as he brought their food. "Sarah's gone and there are plenty of other girls out there. Just ask Reid; new one every month or so," Pogue sneered.

Caleb couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "Guess you're right huh?"

"Aren't I always," Pogue scoffed causing Caleb do laugh. "That's more like it. You up for some foosball?"

"Yeah, sure," Caleb agreed. Just as he was getting up, he bumped into a short, dark haired girl. She muttered a quick apology and walked off. Caleb couldn't help starting as she left. All he could tell was that she was short, 5'1 at the most, and had long black hair. Caleb was pulled from his thoughts about the girl when he heard a familiar person clear this throat.

"Dude," Pogue grinned.

"What," Caleb muttered; embarrassed at being caught checking the girl out. Pogue just continued to stare until he bore Caleb down. "You wouldn't know who she is, would you."

"Sorry man, not a clue," he chuckled. "But apparently baby boy does."

Caleb turned around and saw Tyler taking to the girl. Her back was still turned to him so Caleb couldn't get a good look at her face. "How does Tyler know her?"

"How should I know," Pogue replied. Caleb played a few rounds of foosball with Pogue before heading out. All night, all he could think was that girl and how Tyler knew her, and if they were dating. Just as he almost reached his mustang, Caleb heard the sound of keys falling to the ground and a soft female voice muttering something under her breath. It was the girl who bumpedd into him. She was a leaning down to pick up the car keys she had dropped. He watched her pick up her keys and get into her car. She drove off before Caleb could force himself to take a step closer to. Caleb let out long sigh and got in his own car, heading home.

The next morning Caleb was running late. He had forgotten to turn on his alarm when he had gotten home from Nicky's the night before. He was running down the halls, trying to get his tie on straight when he heard the faint sound of a piano playing. Getting sidetracked by the music, Caleb followed the soft sound the music room. He peeked in the window on the door and spotted his mystery girl, sitting on a stool playing the large instrument. He watched her fingers move up and down the keys. Now he could finally make out her face and it took his breath away. Caleb couldn't help but notice how adorable she looked; playing the soft melody with her eyes closed. He wanted to stand there and watch her all day but Caleb knew he was already late as it was but he had made up his mind. At lunch, he would ask Tyler who that girl was.

When the lunch bell rang, Caleb was the first to buy his food and get to their table. Reid joined him, followed by Pogue and Kate. Caleb picked at his food the whole time until Tyler showed up.

"Hey guys," he smiled.

"Hey man, what took you," Reid asked.

"Our editor-in-chief held all of the editors back for a staff meeting about the next issue," Tyler told him.

"Who's in charge of the paper this year," Kate asked. "I heard the new editor did a great job on the last issue."

"It's Rayne Hathaway and yeah, she's amazing," Tyler said in awe.

"Awww, does baby boy have a little crush," Reid teased.

"Shut up, I just admire her," Tyler defended. "She's a great editor and an even better writer. She was Nicky's last night. I should have introduced you guys to her."

"Wait, was that was the girl you were talking to," Caleb cut in, "kinda short with long, dark hair, plays the piano really well?"

"Yeah, that's Rayne."

"Looks like Tyler isn't the only one who has a little crush," Kate laughed.

"Really," Tyler was grinning now; pleased that he brother was finally moving on. "She's not dating anyone right now."

"Are you serious?"

"She's probably in the classroom now. She always eats in there with some of the staff," Tyler said. Caleb was out the doors before Tyler finished.

The classroom was empty when he got there. He was about to turn around and head back when he saw somebody sit down behind the desk in front of the window. It was Rayne. She was staring out the window; lost in her own mind. He could see her writing in a book. It looked like a diary. Caleb watched her hand move across the page; never breaking its rhythm. Obviously, she was a writer.

"So you gonna go in and talk to her," a voice asked from behind him.

"Tyler," Caleb turned around in surprise, "Could you be any quieter?" When the blue-eyed boy opened his mouth Caleb cut in, "Don't answer that but why are you here?"

"I work on the paper Caleb. I had to turn in something to Rayne," Tyler answered. "So are you coming or what?" Tyler didn't give him a chance to answer as he brushed the older boy aside and walked into the classroom.

"Hey chief, I got that interview you wanted," Tyler informed Rayne.

"Thanks Simms," she smiled at him. Caleb couldn't help but notice how sweet her voice was. It was soft and light-angelic even.

"Oh this is my friend Caleb Danvers," Tyler said, noticing his friend's sudden lack of movement and verbal skills.

"Nice to meet you Caleb," he melted under the smile she gave him and like an idiot he just stood there, unable to say a word to the girl. "Okay, well thanks again Tyler.

"Yeah, see ya later Rayne," Tyler said, pulling Caleb out with him. "Dude, what's the matter with you," Tyler laughed at Caleb. "You couldn't even tell her your own name."

"Shut up, baby boy," Caleb muttered before walking off.
