ANTHEA

╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝

As I walked into the school, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Someone new had transferred in, and I knew exactly who he was. He had finally made his way here. I had been dreading this day, knowing that I would have to pretend like I didn't know him in front of my friends. I couldn't risk anyone finding out about our forbidden relationship.

But as I glanced over at the new student, I couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement in my chest. He was even more handsome than I remembered, with his dark hair and piercing blue eyes. We had been together for months now, sneaking around and stealing moments whenever we could. But now, he was right here, in my school, and I had to act like we were strangers.

As I made my way to my locker, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was being watched. I turned around to see him leaning against the lockers, a smirk playing on his lips. I had to resist the urge to run into his arms and kiss him right then and there. Instead, I gave him a subtle nod, hoping that none of my friends had seen our interaction.

But it seemed like luck was not on my side today. My three musketeers, were all standing by my locker, waiting for me. I plastered a small smile on my face as I approached them, trying my best to stay calm.

"Hey guys," I greeted them, trying to act as nonchalant as possible.

"Hey Anthea, have you seen the new guy?" Joss asked, excitement evident in his voice. "He's so cool, I heard he's from a different country or something."

I could feel myself tense up at his words. Of course they had noticed him. He did stand out with his impeccable fashion sense and striking features. I just had to hope that they wouldn't make the connection between him and me.

"Yeah, I saw him in the hallway," I replied, trying my best to act natural. "He seems okay."

"Well, I think he's checking you out,"Eros chimed in, raising an eyebrow suggestively.

I couldn't hold back a small chuckle, my nerves getting the best of me. "Don't be ridiculous, Eros. Let's just focus on our classes, okay?"

But my friends were not convinced. They kept asking me about the new guy, trying to pry information out of me. I was getting increasingly anxious, knowing that I couldn't reveal the truth to them.

They trusted me, and I didn't want to risk losing that by telling them about my dangerous relationship with him.

Thankfully, the bell rang, signaling the start of our first period. I quickly excused myself, relieved to escape their probing questions. I made my way to my classroom, hoping to have some peace and quiet.

But as fate would have it, he was also in my class. He flashed me a knowing smirk as I took my seat next to him. I tried to focus on the lesson, but it was impossible with him so close. I couldn't help but steal glances at him, longing for the moments when we could be together without any secrets.

After what seemed like the longest class of my life, the bell finally rang, signaling the end of the day. As I made my way to my locker, I saw him waiting for me. I couldn't resist the urge any longer and rushed into his arms, planting a passionate kiss on his lips.

"God, I've missed you," I whispered, pressing my forehead against his.

"I know, love," he replied, caressing my cheek. "But we have to be careful. I can't lose you."

"I know,"I sighed, knowing he was right. We had to keep our relationship a secret, no matter how hard it was. As we broke apart and made our way out of the school.
