Chapter One- The New Guy
Love was something I always dreamed of. Something sweet and fabulous, dreamy and lots of laughter. Couldn't be that bad right? That is what I thought of love until I turned 18 with broken hearts and tears. I've counted the number of failed relationships, over 5. Not a lot to some but for me it's enough. I've started to turn slowly away from love. It's painful and unbearable. I roll the pen on my desk. College is boring. I know I'm not smart but at least I'm coping with my studies. Except history, it kills my brain cells.
" Ms brown." I jumped a little in my seat. I turned slowly to my right staring at my history teacher Mr Krik who was staring down at me.
"May I know what's so interesting outside the window that you are pouting your lips so high at?" I freezed in my seat, trying to form an apologetic smile.
" I'm sorry Mr Kirk. " I heard a few snickers around the class before it turned quiet when Mr Krik turned around to look at them. Mr Krik patted my shoulder when he turned back to face me.
"Don't do it again." There was laughter around the class now. Mr Krik walked back to the front and started the lecture on how everyone of us is actually good children and that kind of shit stuff. I groaned. Life couldn't get any better than this.The class ended and i thanked the gods above that school is over. I walked over to my locker quickly and dump in my books and stuff before slamming it close, hard. A soft whistle sounded on my left.
"Watch that door. It's fragile. Wonder how that locker became enemies with you." I rolled my eyes before turning over to the annoying voice...and oh my. My eyes turned wide as i stared into the first pair of beautiful green eyes that I had ever seen. I suck in my breath as i look at the cutest guy since i had entered this school.
"Is there something on my face?" I snapped back to reality by the sexy deep voice of this stranger. I blushed unwillingly and turned around, walking towards the exit of the school as fast as i can. I scolded at myself for turning stupid at just a cute guy's face. I'm supposed to be unwavering at this kind of shit, at love, at guys. I mentally snapped at myself to remember not to bump into that guy again.
"Hey wait! I say wait up a sec!" I continued walking towards the exit before being grabbed from behind by my shoulder. I turned around to see the cute guy grasping for breath. He held up my black key holder in his right hand, his left still on my shoulder. My eyes widen again as i took in his face more clearly this time since his head is eye level. Amazing nose, soft lips opening and closing catching his breath and those eyes, they mesmerised me deep into my soul. I could see clearly the darker green lining his pupils as the sun hit his face, as we were closer to the school exit. He straightened up and dangled my keys as they slipped out of the holder. He smiled. His teeth pearly white.
"So, no thank you?" I blinked before realising i'm still staring at him. I nodded, blushing hard. "Thank you." I said and stared at my sneakers. I heard a soft laugh.
"You're weird." I snapped my head back to his face. My face turning angry as i felt embarrassment creeping in me. I smirked.
"Well, thanks anyway. Hope my weirdness don't infect you." I turned back to continue walking out into the school car park, leaving a stunned looking him. 'Guess his effect on me is gone.' I smiled at myself, relieved that i'm out of his spell.
Turns out tommorow is worse.
