Time at school was like a never ending game of charades, soon after they arrived at school they separated and headed to their first period classes. The overwhelming smell of must and old ran through the halls of rose high. I guess that fact it was called rose made it make sense but Erika thought otherwise , a rose is the picture of beauty and purity. You see many thought she was odd for her way of thinking but Alice liked to say it was what made her different, and different is always good .As she strode down the halls, her bag full of her beloved books attempted to weigh her down but she resiliently kept her stride.

The lockers lay in unison against the walls which were once painted a french cream yellow but were now a faded chipped version of their former glory. Erika reached the end of the corridor  and turned into miss Montgomery's english class. It was her favourite lesson and most definitely miss Montgomery was  her favourite teacher at rose high.

But as she entered the room a dark silhouette was placed in the seat next to where she sat. He was broad, dark hair, tanned skin, dark eyes, leather jacket. It was Tyler wood.

A few moments passed as a million thoughts rushed through her head. 'What on earth was Tyler wood doing back? Where did he even go? Why is he so gorgeous....' she stopped herself mid thought ,she was not going to let herself be hypnotised by his looks or better yet his tone of voice. She realised that she had been standing in the doorway of the classroom for far too long and went and took her seat. He smelt like warm chestnuts , melted chocolate, fresh mint and sweet lavender. She pinched herself hard.

"Hey Erika", Tyler's voice was a deep tone , it was husky and seductive.

She smiled at him and continued to reach into her bag and grasped her books, placing them onto the desk. She knew that she could not  let him distract her from her work, this was so important if she wanted to get the grades she needed.

" Missed me?" He grinned irresistibly, he picked up one of her books "Still a big Austen fan I see"

Erika and Tyler had been close when they were younger , they had grew up together until Tyler's mother had passed. The last time she had seen him was the prior summer right before he mysteriously disappeared.  His hair was lightly flopped along his forehead , his leather jacket was worn it was vintage yet it had so much character. She had always admired his style.
She looked over at him in a glare but his soft eyes made her smile.

"Nice to see you again" Erika sweetly said, trying to keep her annoyance from her tone. 

"Good morning class! Nice to see you again Tyler, could you and Erika please see me after class" Mrs Montgomery spoke the class, as the noise from the class quietened.  

As the class began, Erika struggled to focus on the work. Mrs Montgomery's voice was muffled by her thoughts, 'What was going on? Why is Tyler back?'. Time passed very slowly that period.
