Chapter 1: The Beginning
I remember the day I met Apollo like it was yesterday. It was a warm summer day, and I was at the park with my little sister. We were playing on the swings when I saw him for the first time.
He was playing basketball with his friends, and I couldn't help but watch him. He was tall, with dark hair and piercing blue eyes. He was laughing and joking with his friends, and I could tell he was the kind of person who brought joy wherever he went.
As the day went on, I found myself drawn to him. I watched him play basketball, and I couldn't help but smile every time he scored a point. I even found myself making excuses to walk past him, hoping he would notice me.
But it wasn't until later that day that we finally spoke. I was sitting on a bench, watching my sister play on the jungle gym, when he walked over to me.
"Hey," he said, flashing me a smile that made my heart skip a beat.
"Hi," I replied, trying to keep my cool.
We talked for a while, and I found out that he was new to the area. He had just moved here with his family, and he was trying to make new friends.
As the day went on, we hung out more and more. We played basketball together, went on the swings, and even got ice cream from the truck that drove by.
By the end of the day, I knew that I had feelings for him. I didn't know if he felt the same way, but I was willing to take the chance.
As we said goodbye, he hugged me, and I felt my heart race. I didn't want the day to end, but I knew that we would see each other again.
Looking back on that day now, I can't believe how much has changed. Apollo and I have been through so much together, but that day at the park will always be the beginning of our love story.
