Your What My Melody Sounds Like

Him

Right away I can tell he's a new student. As a sit down he looks over at me and gives me a crooked smile. His hair is long and black and his bangs slightly hang in his eyes. He wears black skinny jeans, and like me he wears a falling in reverse shirt. He has a red belt on and black and white converse. As I'm studying him he stands up and moves to the desk next to me. I take out one of my ear buds and he does the same. But what amazed me more then his breathtaking body was he actually spoke to me. "Hey, I'm Alex" he said with a smile. Of course I stutter while speaking "h-h-h-i I'm Emma" he gives me another smile and as we talk I stutter less. We have all the same classes together and we sit by another in all of them. Before I know it it's lunch. I leave class and head to my locker. I grab my bag and start to head outside, but before I reach the door someone grabs my wrist. I wince and slowly turn around. It's Alex. Somehow it seems like my heart skips a beat. "Are you leaving me?" He asks a sad look on his face. "No, I'm just going outside during lunch." "Cool, I'll come with." He lets go of my wrist noticing me once again flinching and we head outside. I go to my normal spot under the tree and reach into my bag, grabbing a cigarette and my lighter. Alex kind of stares at me before grabbing the lighter and cigarette from my hands. "Hey!!! What was that for!?" I ask. "Why are you smoking?" He asks instead of answering my question. "Because it helps take away my pain." I reply looking away. All he does is move his bracelets and show me cut all up and down his arm. Astonished I slowly move my bracelets exposing the cuts along my arm. "I figured that's why you were wincing" he states. I just nod and slowly he lifts my arm to his lips and kisses my cuts. I don't know how to respond so I just let him. He reaches into his bag pulling out a monster and a sandwich. "Better eat before lunch is over Emma". I take the half of sandwich he gives to me and eat some of it, not very hungry. We talk the rest of lunch and time seems to go by fast. The bell rings and he helps me up and we go back into the school, happy I finally have someone that will be there for me.
