A fresh start (Eddie x fem y/n reader)

Just a little longer

"I knew that would make you look at me."

"Are you the type of guy who flirts with everyone or?" You ask with a serious voice as you tilt your head, staring at Eddie, waiting for him to reply. He doesn't respond so you lean slightly more forward. "Do you?" Eddie looks down, ignoring eye contact with you. Oh.. you definitely hit a nerve or something. He then starts laughing and looks back up at you. "No darling, I don't 'flirt' with everyone. That's just how I am. Kind of like Prince Charming, but... a metal head version I suppose?"

You giggle make at him. Thank fucking GOD you didn't actually say something wrong. "Metal head? I see, makes sense." You smile even brighter, if it was even possible. You definitely had a weak point for metal heads, simply because you liked the same music. Or maybe also... well.. they give off this.. Uhm.. dominant vibe? Anyway. You shake your head as you get out of your thoughts. Suddenly you get this weird feeling that you should be somewhere else. SHIT. You look at the time on your watch.. oh fuck. "Shit shit shit" you say quickly as you get up, almost falling backwards as you try to get over the bench that you're sitting on.

"Woah, that's up?" Eddie asks, obviously very confused over your sudden stress. "I have class now! I can't be late. I didn't show up at my last school and I wanna do better this time and f-fuck I have to go." You say, but you didn't turn around and run towards school, you stayed and waited for a reply from Eddie. He just sat there and looked into your eyes. Suddenly he puts his hands to his heart and fall backwards dramatically with this weird noise. You gasp before you start laughing. "Really? You have to go? Why don't you stay just a little longer?" He says as he stands up, picking things out of his hair since he fell to the ground. He pouts with his lower lip, looking at you with those big brown eyes, quite innocently. Definitely trying to convince you to stay longer.

"I-I.. I want to stay, okay? But I really need to go, I can't fuck up as soon as the first day.." you wanted to explain even more about how everything was all fucked up from where you came, but you had made yourself the promise of not telling anyone about your past. "It's okay y/n, go to class and we will speak later. I have class as well so." He grabs hit lunchbox and walks over to you, looking down at you. "Let's walk together." Eddie says and then just starts walking, making you slightly having to run after him so you could catch up with him, god he had long legs.

As you walk next to him, you can't help yourself.. you look slightly down and to the side, looking at his arms as he swinged them while walking at a fast pace. Oh.. he had rings.. very chunky rings. You smirk to yourself. "What's wrong darling?" He asks and stops for a second, looking at you quite concerned again. "Not looking forward to class?" He follows.

"Oh eh.. yeah, no. Sorry I was just.. yeah I mean." You sigh with a shaky breath. "Yeah, I'm kinda scared for class." You say as your ignore his eyes and starts to walk again. Smooth, real fucking smooth. "Don't worry, luckily it doesn't last for too long, and it's your last class of the day, right?" You nod at him. "Then you can go home afterwards and just relax." He starts walking again and you guys eventually reach the school. "Well.. I'm going this way, see you some other time then" Eddie takes a step closer to you and smiles down at you, looking you up and down when without realising it. When he does, he lets out a little cough and takes a step back. "I'll see you around Eddie" you say to him, smiling brightly before you walk away from him. Trying your best not to turn around to look at him just one more time. As you turn around the corner you realise how much you're smiling. He did make you smile, a lot, without even trying.

So... you went to class. After some time you found the right room, walking straight in since you were already late, but you totally forgot to knock on the door.

"Well well.. first day and late, comes in without knocking as well? Great start new one. Come in then, introduce yourself." You walk slowly into the room, looking down before you stop in front of the class. Then you look up at your new classmates and sigh.

"H-Hi, I'm y/n.."
