It was the first day of our new subject, and the teacher called her name. I turned, and there she was. Austin Gretel.
She was even more radiant than the stories made her seem. Her presence filled the room like she belonged everywhere at once.
She caught me staring and grinned. "You've heard about me, haven't you?"
I felt my face heat up and quickly looked away. I was the quiet one, the girl who never spoke unless necessary. But Austin? She was fearless, flirty, and full of life.
