Chapter One- The New Guy(contuined from part one)
I walked into my first class of the day, English. There he was, all glowing and handsome, that cute stranger from yesterday surrounded by girls. Mrs Thorn is still not in class yet. I was pushed to the front a little by another guy in my English class.
" You dreaming Ashley?" Dan poked at me, smirking. I rolled my eyes and started walking to a desk furthest from that cute stranger. Dan took the seat beside me, and dumped his books on my table loudly. The girls didn't even notice. Dan brushed back his hair over with his hand before slouching into his seat. I glared at him, before pushing his books off my desk and smiled at him sweetly. He laughed a little before picking up his books while I hold my head up with the support of my right hand staring at the board in front. I tapped my fingers bored, listening to the squeals from the other side of the class. I was almost on the verge of snapping at them to shut up when I heard the new cute guy laughing.
" Ok girls, teach is coming in soon. Maybe you could lower down your voices and we could talk later?" He smiled his gorgeous killer smile and I could almost hear the girls go 'Aww...'. I'm glad that he stopped their blabbering yet i felt irritated at the same time which confused me. I wonder why I didn't see him in English class yesterday. I thought that he is in a different grade than me so that I didn't see him being transferred. He's a new guy in the school I'm sure. How else I wouldn't know such a cute guy existed in my school? But why would someone transfer at the last year of school? And it's almost through the middle of second term already. Mrs Thorn's voice interrupted my thoughts as she strode in and announced the class.
" All right class, today as you can see we have a new transfer student which I guess most of you girls already knew." Mrs Thorn dragged on the word most while looking around the class sweeping her eyes disapprovingly at the girls in my class. I stifled a laugh but Mrs Thorn's attention shifted to me.
"Ms Brown, come and see me after class" I stared at her surprised, thinking over what did I do to be called for. For the past few days I'd remember handing my homework and also finishing my project on time. I stared grudgingly at her, wondering what fault she wanted to find with me this time as she droned on about another new project for next week. Mrs Thorn cleared her throat and gestured to the new guy.
" Mr Layne. I'm sorry I've forgotten to let you introduce yourself. Please stand up and do it now." Mrs Thorn smiled at him. Yeah right, forgotten about him. She just wanted to embarrass the new guy. Pfft.
"It's ok, Mrs Thorn. I'm Bruce Layne. Thank you." Bruce said it without standing up, nodding at those who turned to look at him. I could see Mrs Thorn's lips twitched a little, but she continued her lesson without saying anything. This is the first time the Thorn Witch didn't say anything to a student who apparently denied her request. If she says you must stand up and go to the restroom now, you must go even if it sounds crazy. She is our homeroom teacher by the way, which makes it no less horrible than it already is. I could feel my lips turned up a little at the sides, feeling wondrous at her awkward reaction. But i pulled my lips back as i didn't want to be happy by anything done with that guy, that Bruce Layne, a dangerous charming guy. I listened on, taking down important notes regarding our project next week. We must pair up in three's and choose whichever topic as long as it involved our school. The marks are based on how we describe our topic etc.. As the lesser important part of the lesson continues, I looked over at Bruce. His name strike something familiar in my head, but I couldn't catch what it is. I shook my head and stabbed at my notes with my pen.
"Boring huh?" Dan said while poking my arm with his pen tip. I turned my head towards him and narrowed my eyes. The reason I'm so mean to him is because he played a prank on me before. He mouthed a 'Í'm sorry' to me like the hundredth time since that prank from last week. I shrugged my shoulders and continued back to staring at Mrs Thorn.
The class ended and I was standing up to begin my slow and deliberate walk to Mrs Thorn's office when my elbow was grabbed by someone. I sighed and turned around.
