AUTUMN

CHAPTER 3

Andrew.

"How handsome has he become" I murmured unknowingly.

The whole class turned their head towards the huge window of our class.

The scene was so alluring.

In a bunch of students who were gossiping among themselves whilst walking towards the school there stood a figure, stealing the show effortlessly.

His whole existence itself made people fall for him .

He was adored by the girls for his messy brown hair. It was a casual jumble sometimes but mostly ruffled.

His eyebrows were bushy and thick matching his hair.

People had always remarked that his best feature was his passionate hazel eyes. They were soft yet intense at the same time. They shone brightly, like two marbles dipped in milky pools. His eyes had the same startling clarity as a mountain stream. They could shine as bright as the evening stars when they were a-light with joy.

His nose was in congregation with his eyes and lips to form a perfectly coordinated glow of happiness.

His sharp jawline topped his complete look like a cherry on the cake.

He was walking towards the classroom whilst examining an autumn leaf which had freshly fallen from the tree.

"Oooh!" the girls in our class said in unison.

"Ew they look like they're gonna start drooling anytime now" Abby said with a disgusted look on her face.

We all knew Andrew very well.

He never even spared a look at any girl.

I really don't know the reason.

But I think it's just because he loves his own space.

He was more of an introvert actually when I first met him.

But now that I think of it.

He's not like that anymore...

<flashback>

*2 years ago*

"Uhm hi?" I said walking into the deserted classroom.

There was no one except a brown haired boy innocently sleeping at the end of the class.

It was the first day of the school and I got into detention for coming late.

Well that was the typical me.

Always late.

"hm" the boy replied not even turning his head.

'hm'? that's all he's going to tell?

I plopped my belongings in the seat next to him and tried to start a conversation as it was really getting awkward.

"Hey so..." and before I could finish.

"You look beautiful" he said.

I blushed. Hard.

No one has ever told me anything like that before .

So basically I didn't know what to reply so I just stayed quiet.

It was really getting awkward now.

I wanted to ask him why he got into detention.

And as if he read my mind he asked.

"So for what did you get into detention?"

"I was late" I said turning to face him.

He got up from his previous position and looked straight into my eyes.
