Worse for Better- Book #1 in the WF Series

Chapter 4: Group Project

♡ Alaiya's POV: ♡

I walk alongside Ivy and the tall guys walk in front of us. It stays quiet for the first few seconds on our way to the library, but Ivy ends that.

"I love your hair," she compliments me as I'm watching the floor.

"Thank you," I say gratefully, making a smile come out of her as well. "I love yours too," I compliment back and she brushes me off sarcastically with a "stop it."

We enter the library and take a seat at the square-shaped table. Everyone begins to speak and I continue to pick at my nails as I hear them speak about football and some other random things.

"Where are y'all's manners?" a guy with brown hair that stands up on its own, a pretty sharp jawline, very light and fair skin, and gray eyes says towards everyone. His voice is very sweet sounding, and his smile is probably the most welcoming one I think I've ever seen. He has a short sleeve shirt on which shows off his tattoo sleeve on both his arms which suits him very well. "I'm Axel," he introduces himself as he holds his chest with both his hands. "But I go by Rider," he adds.

"I'm Kai," another guy says after him, and I turn my head to the right of Rider to see him. Unlike everyone else here who has dark hair, he has blonde, curly hair that falls onto the front of his forehead. His skin is as clear as daylight, his eyes are a beautiful blue color, and he just looks like an all-around happy and kind person. "I go by Eldon."

"This is Brandon and he goes by Legend," Rider pats the guy sitting next to him's shoulder. Legend has darker skin, shortly cut hair which has curls that can be seen, and dark brown eyes, though they're so bright that they don't even look brown. They have so much more depth in them unlike most brown eyes which are kind of basic. Well, at least mine are. His whole demeanor also looks to be upset, but he kind of smiles at me as a way to say hi.

"He just got cheated on," Rider whispers behind his hand and I oh sadly.

That explains why he looks so upset.

"And this is Roman," Rider bends forward in his seat and I turn my head to follow Rider's eyes to the guy sitting at the end of the table.

Holy crap!

In my eyes, is shown the most attractive man I've ever seen. And I mean ever.

I look at his bright green eyes and super clear skin as his hands are set on the table. His leg bounces lightly from underneath the table which I can sort of feel, and his hair looks to be naturally pushed back, though some strands fall onto his forehead effortlessly. His lips are in a perfect natural pink heart shape, and he seems to be pretty tall because of his height while sitting down. His jawline is so sharp that it could probably cut me in half. He doesn't have any facial hair, and I think even if he did, it wouldn't be possible for him to look worse. I don't think there's anything anyone could do that could make him look worse. His broad shoulders aren't too enormous like many guys I've noticed make their arms in college, but are still held up in confidence and are pretty muscular. His muscular chest is the same, which I can sort of see by the black, not too tight shirt he's wearing thats sleeves reach to his elbows, showing off his veins on his arms and hands.

It takes me one or two glances at him to just notice those noticeable things, and his eyes do the same thing to me when he hears his name get called. He looks up from the floor and meets my eyes directly, looking at me with such a fierce glare that it almost runs a shiver up my spine. His eyes then look over my face, and next over my body which is half-shown because of the desk sitting in front of me, and that only makes more heat come onto my body.
