Pain and Love

The First Day

Tessa:

I hear my alarm going off and immediately go to grab it off my bedside table. I get up and head towards the bathroom I see Hardin's door is shut so I'm guessing he is still in bed. Once I get into the bathroom I go to the toilet, wash my hands, brush my teeth and then wash my face. Once I'm finished in the bathroom I leave and head towards my room and see Hardin's door is slightly opened now. When I walk past I can see him getting changed and my eyes immediately go to his back, his tanned, muscular, tattooed back looks amazing and very hot. I have to snap myself back to reality and move back into my room before he sees me staring at him.

Once I'm in my room I get changed, brush my hair and end up curling it slightly so it's wavy and then do my makeup, it's minimum but looks nice. I grab my bag and jacket and leave my room. I place my stuff down on the sofa and go into the kitchen. When I enter the kitchen I find Hardin sitting at the island with a mug in his hands.

"Good morning" I say with a smile.

"Hi, good morning to you too." He replies with a smile too.

I got towards the coffee pot and poor some coffee in a mug and then go back and sit at the island across from Hardin.

"So how are you this morning all ready for your first day?"

"Yeah I'm good little nervous I don't really know where I'm going but I'll figure it out as the day goes along." I reply nervously.

"Well he have my number if you need help or get lost or even get bored in class you can text me."

"Oh thank you so much." I swear I start to blush at his kind gesture.

"No problem."

We talk for a bit and I had some cereal and then I realised the time and thought I bette get moving since I don't want to be late on my first day.

"Well I better get going or I'll be late but if I get lost I'll definitely text you." I say getting off the island stole and giggle a little and put my mug in the sink.

"I'll be around campus as well."

"Well I might see you around then, bye" I say leaving the kitchen.

"Yep bye." Hardin said smiling and giving me a slight wave.

...

Once I reach campus I look around to see many other people looking quite confused just like me obviously trying to find there way around and get to class. I had a quick look at my timetable on my phone and I have English first so I walked into the main building and found a signs showing my way towards the English classroom.

Once I get into the room I find a seat at the back of class and two other people sitting in the row.

"Umm hi is this seat taken?" I ask nervously.

"No no it's fine sit. I'm Landon and this Molly."

"Nice to meet you both I'm Tessa." I say as I take my seat nice to them.

"So are you new?" Molly asks.

"Yeah my first year here, what about you guys?"

"Same both our first years." Molly replies.

"Well that's great at least I know I'm not the only one" I laugh as they laugh along.

"Right everyone sit down and be quiet class is about to start" the teacher shouts from the front.

Then a couple of minutes later when the teacher was talking the classroom door opens, someone was obviously late.

"Scott why are we so late?" Sir shouted from the front. Wait Scott. I turn around and see Hardin and he catches eye contact with me. I blink a few times and turn back around to face the front.

"Sorry sir." He says bluntly and comes and stays next to me.

"Hi again, didn't think I'd be seeing you this soon." Hardin says with humour in his tone.

"I'm surprised to see you too." I say

"Is that a good surprise?" Hardin says leaning in towards me and as soon as he leans back I see he has a smirk on his face.

"Umm maybe." Wait shit am I blushing. No Hardin can't be having this kind of effect on me. I can't stop smiling I'm so happy to see him here. Oh god why am so happy.

"Miss Young are you blushing?" He is smirking even more now.

"Huh no..." shit Tessa stop yourself... it's only Hardin calm it.

"Mhm okay you tell yourself that miss Young." Hardin is just sitting there looking smug and still smirking.

I hate that he has this effect on me. This morning it was all sweet, we had coffee, talked a little, he gave me his number and we said goodbye. Now he is smirking and it's like he was teasing me or something. Since Hardin walked in I completely forgot about Landon and Molly sitting right next to me. They gave me these looks as well they must have noticed my blushing and the teasing between me and Hardin.

It's the end of class now and I'm getting ready and packing my stuff up. My first class of uni went well me, Landon and Molly talked a lot and I'm glad I have made friends so quickly. I could see Hardin looking at me every now and then and he definitely saw me looking at him too. But how can you blame from looking at him everything about him is just handsome and hot. As I'm getting ready to leave Hardin stops me and gently grabs onto my arm but I flinch at his touch due the bruises that have been left from Noah yesterday.

Hardin notices and looks worried "sorry Tess I didn't mean to scare you or..."

"No no it's fine don't worry I just got a little fright it's fine." I say and put on a smile.

Wait he called me Tess no one has ever called me that before but I really liked it. It gave ma like a warm comforting feeling that only Hardin could make me feel.

"Sorry I need to go to class I don't want to be late." I smile again and leave.

...

The rest of the day goes by really quickly actually. All my other classes were good and I got an idea for what I'll be doing for the term and year. I had a couple of classes with Landon and Molly which was great. They are really good friends I loved getting to know them as the day went by. I was quite sad to not see Hardin though during the rest of the day. This boy really has had an effect on me to be missing seeing him when I've only known him for not even 2 days.

Once I get back home I see Hardin on the sofa.

"Well hello." I say cheery to him.

"Hey, how was your first day?" He replied.

"It was very good." I say sitting down on the sofa next to him.

"I'm guessing the best part of your day was seeing me." He replies with a smirk again. That smirk is just so hot yet annoying cause he knows he is teasing me.

"Umm you just tell yourself that Scott."

"Oh I will miss Young." He winks at me.

Jesus he needs to stop with the teasing it's driving me insane. He also needs to stop calling me that. It give me butterflies and is a bit of a turn on as well.

AN:
