THE LIGHT TO YOUR DARK

Meet and Flee

The best part of all stories is the first meet. When you first look into the other person's eyes and you feel the connection. All the hopes, wishes and wait come down to this moment you feel your heart drumming, your palms sweating, your nerves wracking. Looking back you thank all that you know for that moment because it was at that moment that you realize that you wanted more..... more of her..... more of you together.

Plus it's a classic comedy episode.

-Gideon Walker

The boy with the green eyes stood staring at me with his eyes wide and a flabbergasted expression on his face while I was stupidly smiling at him.

He had the greenest eyes like an emerald with golden flecks that could be noticed only if one looked carefully and deeply.

Like I was doing now.

Stop staring goddammit!

Then I realized that I was still smiling like a loon.

Stop smiling goddammit!

He stood looking at me in the same way, with his lips turned to form an O and his eyes wide, his face contorted in a kind of dazed and pleasantly surprising features as if he was seeing a fairy tale come true before he opened his mouth and asked: "Are you real?"

My smile turned into a chuckle at his question. What?!

"Well I feel real and I'm sure you can verify my 'realness' from Mrs Dennis and the fragrant receptionist."

It wasn't long before his surprised face morphed into a full-fledged smile and that's when his beauty truly hit me. He was long, not too much but longer than me and had a striking cheekbone. He had brown hair, beautiful lips which were upturned to a swoon-worthy smile. My eyes took all of him, his blue shirt over what I could make out was a well-built body, black faded jeans and sneakers. His one hand held onto the bag that was weighted over his shoulder while the other was tucked in his pocket. As my eyes went to him again I saw that he was getting in all of me too.

Finally, his eyes landed on mine and I cocked an eyebrow and smirked at him silently saying. Done? Like what you see?.

His eyes widened as redness crept up his ears and he looked down smiling shyly.

God, he's so cute!

Finally concluding that he wasn't gonna say anything to start the conversation I decided to take matters into my own hands. I put the book inside my bag, slung it over my shoulders and walked up to him. He had turned his attention from the ground and back to me and was watching me curiously.

I smiled at him and offered him my hand.

"Hi. My name is Ezelynn. I was just here reading and sorry if it's your spot or anything I'm new here and I was just looking around and I found this place and it was so quiet and beautiful that I couldn't resist coming here and reading I didn't realize..." I stopped midway realizing that I was rambling.

Since when have I started rambling in front of people I have just met?!!?! Usually, it was not being able to talk and now it's not being able to stop.

I looked at him expecting to see him laughing at me but instead, he was still watching me with a dazed expression.

What the...?

"Is there a problem?"

That seemed to work wonders and pull him out or his reverie.

"Uhh...Um... My name is Walker. Not Walker exactly that is my last name. Like surname. My first name is Gideon. Like Gideon Walker."

I stared.

He seemed to realize something because he quickly continued "Not that it is a problem. I mean my name is not my problem. I have no problem. I happen to like my name. You know. Everyone likes my name especially my parents and they have impeccable taste."

Suddenly he stopped speaking as his already pink ears turned red.

And then I was laughing.

And not the flirtatious laughs that girls laugh which makes them all the more alluring.

oh nO NO.

I laughed or more like snorted. For a whole ten seconds!!

Finally, when I got myself under control I saw him smirking at me. And I was sure that my cheeks were red.

"So I guess we are both embarrassed out huh?" He said his smirk turning into a knowing smile.

"Yeah."

"So let's start from the beginning. I'm Gideon Walker, it is an absolute pleasure to meet you." He said stretching his hand out.

"I'm Ezelynn Chambers and the pleasure is all mine," I said taking his hand.

As my fingertips skimmed along his palm into a firm handshake I could feel little jolts of lightning coursing through them. I could feel my hand trembling as his hand encased mine and then all I felt was warmth surrounding me, spreading throughout my body. I lifted my eyes from my joint hands to see Gideon watching me with an intense expression.

Gideon.

Suddenly a name could send flutters throughout my body and make me weak in the knees.

Uncomfortable with the sudden emotions coursing through me I quickly withdrew my hand and quickly clasped them together.

Gideon looked at me surprised for a moment and then opened his mouth to say something when suddenly a sharp noise cut him off.

The bell!

How could I be so enamoured by someone that I forgot why I was here!

I quickly sidestepped him with an "excuse me" and went back to the same path where I wandered from. I felt guilty for leaving him so coldly but at the same time I needed to get my thoughts sorted out because right now my mind was a monumental mess.

I entered the hallway to see that it was deserted save for a handful of students. I quickly went down the hallway to the third room.

Room 103.

My first period.

I took a deep breath and opened the door.
