I pull into the school parking lot about 15 minutes later. I walk quickly to my spot and get as comfy as one can be with ones back against the concrete wall and sitting on the hard ground. I pull out my phone and camouflage Skullcandy ink'd headphones. After plugging them in and putting one in my left ear, I go to my favorites playlist and hit shuffle. Something In The Water by Carrie Underwood starts to play and I tap my foot to the beat. Engrossed in my music, I almost don't notice Erik walk by. ALMOST.
He's heading into the gym with Luke in tow. I guess he must've left something in the gym after practice last night. Wait, that can't be right because practice got cancelled last night, it was announced over the intercom before school got out yesterday. As he walks by I notice out of the corner of my eye that he tries to sneak a stealthy glance at me. Obviously it's a fail, however, he doesn't need to know that. I pretend to still be engrossed in my music and when he's a couple feet away I check out the beautiful view of his backside. I can't help it. It's to amazing not to look. Those dark Wranglers fit his butt perfectly.
When he disappears into the gym I close my eyes and wonder what he could possibly need from the gym. Not very long after he goes in, he and Luke are coming right back out. Odd. Neither of them have anything with them. They definitely weren't in there long enough to talk to someone either. I glance up as they walk by and he looks down at me. Subtly though, so Luke wouldn't notice. His eyes meet mine, and call me crazy, but it's like he's looking into my soul.
The moment is over as soon as it started. He averts his eyes and continues to walk on as if nothing ever happened. I'm left sitting there wondering what actually did happen. I sit there in a kind of daze until I hear the bell ring. I shove my phone and Skullcandys into my bag and hurry to first period. AP physics. Yippee.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Physics went by so slow, oh my gosh. It felt like it would never end. Next is honors calculus and I hate this class with a fiery passion. Math is the worst invention ever. After the bell rings signaling the start of class my teacher, Mr. Pent, introduces a new student. Her name is Isabel Kennedy.
She's very pretty with longish, dark brown, curly hair. It's so dark brown it's almost black and when I say curly I mean like those tight natural spirals, but not too tight and its parted to the left. Her eyes are bright, sapphire blue and she has a body that most girls envy: skinny with a perfectly balanced B&B. She's dressed in dark wash skinny jeans, black combat boots, and a black Charlie Daniels tanktop with a red and black plaid button up pulled over it and left unbuttoned.
Mr. Pent seats her behind me and as soon as she plops into her seat she's tapping on my shoulder. I turn around and she says, "Obviously you know who I am after that introduction, but who are you?"
Kinda surprised by her outgoing personality and someone actually speaking to me, I take a minute before replying, "I'm, um, I'm Trystan. But uh, you can call me Trys if you like."
She looks me over for a couple seconds and I awkwardly sit there wondering what this could possibly mean. Did I not say what I thought I said?
Before I can say anything again she goes, "Ok Trys. I think I'm gonna really like you."
Not knowing what to say to that I just kinda sit there.
Then she adds, "So friends?"
I try to keep my shock hidden and smile and nod. "I-I'd love that", I quickly tell her.
"Ok great," she says.
I turn back around in my seat and start to worry. How long will I actually get to keep her as my friend before she finds out what I've done and hates me like everyone else?
A/N:
Hey y'all! What do y'all think of Isabel? Do y'all think she will stick around if she finds out about Trystan's past? Tell me what y'all think and keep reading to find out.
Listen to the song in the media box up top, its very good.
