“Welcome to mustang country.”

With a smile and a polite nod, I reached my hand across the desk to shake the principal’s hand. “Thank you, sir. I’m looking forward to finishing high school here.”

My parents sat next to me with wide smiles on their faces.

My father glanced at me quickly before speaking. “A number of colleges in New Mexico are interested in Wyatt. We’re hoping the same will happen here even though he has not been with the team since the beginning of the year.”

Principal Davis waved his hand off, as if it was not a big deal that I was coming into a new school one week behind. My parents had tried like hell to move before the beginning of the school year, but our house in Marble Falls wasn’t ready until yesterday. That meant, I’d missed the first week of school here along with one football game.

“I’m not worried about it, and neither is Coach Sanders. I have no doubt in my mind that Wyatt will fit in perfectly with the team.”

After the meeting, I waited in the office as my parents filled out a few more forms. My hair stood on my arms as I turned to see a beautiful girl with wavy, long dark blonde hair walk in. She glanced over at me and returned my friendly grin.

Her smile left me completely breathless.

“Mrs. Richardson, I need to pick up the packet for dual credit.”

I tried to pull my eyes away from her, but I couldn’t stop staring. Her smile was breathtaking, and her eyes sparkled each time she looked over at me. When her face blushed, she turned slightly and didn’t glance my way again until she headed out the door.

“You okay, Wyatt?” my mother asked.

With a grin, I nodded and said, “I think I just saw an angel.”

Slapping me on the back, my father chuckled. “Not even an hour, and the boy has found himself a cowgirl.”

My mother playfully hit my father in the stomach. “Stop it, Joel.” With her attention back on me, she gave me a knowing look. “Have a good day, Wyatt.”

“I will, Mom. Please don’t worry. It’s all going to be fine.”

Letting out a sigh, she closed her eyes and shook her head. “I know how hard it is to be the new kid at school.”

Taking her hands in mine, I kissed the back of her right hand. “Mom, it’s going to be fine.”

“See, Alice? He’s going to be fine. Now, let’s go, so he can actually be on time for his first class.”

With a quick kiss on the cheek and a hug, my mother finally allowed my father to guide her out of the school office. Shaking my head, I grinned and turned to the receptionist, Mrs. Richardson. Giving me a wink, she called for one of her student aides to show me around.

The whole time, the only thing I could think about was the girl with the beautiful smile.

CHAPTER THREE

* * *

Skylar

THE MOMENT I saw him walk into my English class, I had to catch my breath. That was twice now that I’d seen him. He was breathtakingly handsome. His dark hair made his eyes pop all the way from across the room. All of the girls immediately started whispering, praying he would notice one of them.

I sat in the back right corner, as far away from everyone as I could. There was no chance of him seeing me.

Then, our eyes met. I instantly felt my cheeks blush, like earlier when he’d smiled at me in the office. I wasn’t so sure if he was looking my way or not now.

Is he smiling at Jenny or at me?

Jenny was a beautiful blonde-haired, blue-eyed cheerleader. She could pretty much just look at a guy, and he would fall for her.

Mrs. Hathaway grinned at him and then told him to pick a seat. He turned and looked directly at me again. My heart started pounding so loud that I was sure everyone in the classroom could hear it.

“I heard he moved here from New Mexico. He wanted to play football for a Texas high school, so a college would notice him,” Jenny said as she started to mess with her hair.

“What’s his name?” Beth asked.

Jenny shrugged her shoulders. “Who cares? Look at that body. My God, they make them good in New Mexico.” She jumped up and moved over a seat right before he got to her table.

For some reason, my heart was breaking. How stupid of me to think he would notice me. Even if he did, everyone would tell him to stay away from me.

He passed by Jenny’s table, walked right up to mine, and smiled.

Oh. My. God.

“Hey, I’m Wyatt. Mind if I sit here with you?” he asked.

That drop-dead gorgeous smile melted my heart.

I smiled. “No, not at all. It’s open.”
