Nathaniel

Title: Rules of Heart ____________________________________ The sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the nearly empty school hallway. She clutched her notebook tightly against her chest, her heart racing as she scanned the area for any sign of a teacher. She wasn’t supposed to be here this late, but she had lost track of time in the library—again. Just as she turned the corner, she collided into something—or rather, someone. Strong hands caught her shoulders before she could stumble back, and she found herself staring up into sharp golden-brown eyes. Nathaniel. The student body president, the school’s golden boy, the one who always seemed to have everything under control.
