 `` I swear! After Suzie-Lee I'll never love again! I wo n't! Even Cupid wo n't make me! Even Aphrodite herself ca n't make me!'' George pronounced in between sobs. He was on his knees over his bed swearing to the gods he would never love again. After Suzie-Lee the apple of little George's eye decided that Brad was more cute than George, he was left heartbroken. At lunch he would sit alone and not even look at Brad, Suzie-Lee or any of their companions. `` I bet you I'll never love again Aphrodite!'' He cried. George's mother slowly opened the door trying not to upset the emotionally unstable and hormonal child. `` George dearie, are you sure your never going to love? Suzie was a mean girl anyways.'' George lip quivered and his eyes began to water and he burst into a fit of tears and sadness. Aphrodite watched the kid from her sofa, flicking between channels. A typical run of the mill child, the mere agree of 11. She had seen many cases like this. Kids who got dumped and promised that they would never be conquered by love again, only to find them a week later crushing on another `` cute'' boy or girl in their class. Aphrodite never understood humans. She questioned the other gods for making them. `` Too whiney and naïve'' she would say. But this kid seemed to intrigue her. Something about him made her want to try something she had n't tried in a long time.

 `` Today class we are going to be joined by a new student. I want you all to welcome her into our classroom.'' A new student? Whatever. Probably some dumb girl just like the rest of them. I made a promise and I am going to keep it. I will never ever love again. Plus shes not even that pretty. she just a little red-head girl. 
 
 The little red head moves around between the aisles. She's probably going to sit next to Brad. I can already see Brad checking her out. What a cheater, he just held hands with Suzie-Lee. Whatever does n't matter I'm just going to put my head down. Ms. Fontaine ca n't even see me here in the back. I begin to drift... 
 
 `` Hey! Wake up!'' I raise my head off the table, it feels heavy. `` What is the period over already?'' I mumble... 
 
 Wait a second... 
 My eyes adjust to the classroom light, they come into focus and right next to me is the little red-head sitting in the desk Ms Fontaine is teaching and all the class is sitting attentively. All except for me and the red head sitting right beside me. Why did she choose here? At the back, next to the social outcast who is sitting at the back? Actually... she is new so maybe she does n't know that I'm the kid who cried a whole period straight because a girl dumped me. I cant believe she does n't know. I would have thought Suzie would have got to her by now. I mean it is big news in the class. It was recent only a week ago. Whatever. This girl is weird. Maybe if I pretend to not notice her she'll go away. `` Nice to meet you!'' She exclaims with a little jump. I stutter, unsure of how to react to this. `` Nice to meet you too... `` I slowly turn to put my head back on the table, maybe this period will be over sooner if I take a nap. `` Hey? What are you doing sleepy? You have n't even introduced yourself!'' Golly, this girl is persistent. Maybe after a short introduction she'll finally conclude that I am not a very social person anymore. `` I'm George. How about you?'' I tell her. `` Well I'm Aphro- sorry I'm Amelia! Pleased to meet you! I can tell we are going to be great friends!''
