Daughter of Nomads

Awkward

Zoey

He was hot, so what? That wasn't what caught my eye about him.

His body was tall and tonned, his skin tanned. He had brown hair and a bright charming smile. He was wearing some jeans and a tank shirt, whith a baseball cap wearing backwards on his head. He had a book on one hand and a skate on the other.

Still, none of that was what cought my mind.

It was his eyes. They were brown. They looked full of... positiveness. Happiness. Joy. Innocence.

Ignorance.

I couldn't stop smilling at those eyes.

He was smiling as well, a simple friendly smile, wich made his eyes sparkle in an hypnotising way.

He walked me to the reception office, pointing at the builings surrounding us while explaining everything he knew about the university. I wasn't hearing not a word, staring directly at his eyes while followed him across the campus.

-Zoey?

-Yeah?

-I said we are here -he laughed, knowing she hadn't listened to anything he had said to me.

-Oh right, thanks! So, is it your first year too?

-Nah, my second year here. So, would you need help to find your room? I could wait for you right here until they tell you wich one you're in and then walk you there.- he offered.

-Don't worry! I don't want to bother you any longer.

-You wouldn't be bothering, I enjoy watching you while you zone out and don't listen to what I say- he chukled, not in a flirty way, but sincerelly meaning his words.

-Oh sorry... That was really rude of me... but I really just... can't help it...- I could feel myself mumbling so I concentrated again on the boy.

-It's ok, really! I was serious when I said it, I don't mind at all.- he smiled.

-So... may I accept your offer then? I would get lost again otherwise... Sorry again.

-Yeah shure! I'll wait for you here.

I entered the office, where a nice maddam gave me a paper with the location of my new room and the name of my roomate. She gave me my classes sketchual and another map, just in case.

I smiled and thanked her politly, not really listening to what she said. When I got out, that Jake guy was waiting for me. I blushed as I aproached him.

He walked me to the dorms while we actually had a conversation this time, in wich I actually participated and not only stared ackwardly at him.

He was from San Francisco, he had three little sisters and one older brother, his parents where happily married and had decent jobs wich they loved and allowed them to take care of their big familly properly. He played the guittar and used to work at a car mechanics back in San francisco, so he knew a lot about cars. He loved his family like crazy, never actually had a girlfriend, but had thousands of good friends and dated a lot. He did quite alright at school and never really got stessed out too easily.
He was simple, charming and... positive. He had a beautifull laugh, really loud, as if everything I said was the funniest thing. He liked skating, played the bass and didn't really enjoyed reading too much, the book he was caring was just a distraction, one of the few books he enjoyed.

I didn't said much about myself, there wasn't much to say.

Workaholic parents, quite little brother, shy girl, harsh adolecens, same old same old.
