"You don't understand she was stunning, she had the most gorgeous eyes, it was like staring into the endless deep of the bluest ocean I've seen and her hair was in the cutest ringlets and was a beautiful shade of sunset red," I describe.

I'm currently trying to get my friend Silas Ashford to understand how pretty the girl was. 

"I'm pretty sure you're the only one who would like those kind of eyes. To me they sound kinna creepy," Silas says boredly.

 "What was she wearing," Wyatt chimes in. 

All three of us have been friends since middle school. Wyatt is a player Silas is too serious for his own good but I understand he has to represent the school as an Ashford and I'm the reckless one constantly getting in trouble and getting called into the office. Good thing Principal Ashford is usually pretty chill. 

"Um you know now that I think about it I believe she was wearing Stormbriar's school uniform," I say trying to remember the details 

"Oooooo maybe she's the new transfer student," Wyatt remarks. 

"Well it doesn't matter we won't see her in class today since it's a half day and it isn't mandatory she's probably getting her dorm setup or a tour of the school," Silas says matter of factly finishing his lunch. 

It's true we have class till two o'clock today it's mainly for people who need review or for any who wants to attend we take a short test in the morning then the people who need review go to the assigned classes, I flunked one subject on the test Wyatt three and Silas is here for emotional support, nah he actually wants to review even tho he passed the test... show off. 

After class we go to our dorm rooms. Some people have dorm mates, others don't, it's pretty random. 

Silas goes over more review and forces Wyatt to do it with him claiming he'll thank him later while I watch a movie on the tv but I'm not really paying attention. 

I can't stop thinking about that girl from Starbucks. 

Before I know it's 7:30 and time for dinner I've been thinking about the girl for about five hours. 

Her shocked expression, her slight blush, her intrigued gaze, her long red ringlets, her adorable stutter, her pale skin and long lashes. I groan and run my hands through my hair I stand up from where I sat on my bed and enter the living room 

"Hey I'm gonna go get dinner," I yell from the middle of the living room while putting on my shoes Silas opens his door and says 

"Okay we're done,"

Wyatt ever the dramatic stumbles out from the room and groans "I almost died my brain feels like it's about to explode," swaying as he walks. 

"You'll be fine besides Ash's mystery girl might be at dinner," Silas says as he smacks Wyatt on the back of the head 

"Owwie," Wyatt whines, honestly I'm surprised any girl was able to put up with him granted he only usually does three dates and that's it. 

Wyatt rubs the back of his head as he moves away from Silas as he moves his hair falls on his face he reaches up to brush his light brown hair out of his maroon and crimson colored eyes and smiles showing of his dimples "Yeah I can't wait to meet her she sounds intriguing," He says with a mischievous glint in his eyes. 

"No," I say, giving him a death glare 

"Alright okay I get it," He says nervously raising his hands in surrender. 

As we enter the dining hall all of us can tell something's going on. We go get our food quickly and sit at our usual table in the middle of the dining hall.
