The Way He Looks At Her

Chapter 1

I get home about 11:00 ,exhausted from my shift at the local library. It's not the most luxurious job and it doesn't pay that much, but it works. Hopefully when I graduate from college I will be able to get a better job. But I just got to focus on the present for now. I turn on the TV in my little apartment and began to watch the news when my phone rings. It's my mom. I answer it immediately since I know she doesn't stay up this late so it has to be important.

"Hello" I say worried. "Hey sweetheart!" I hear my moms soothing voice say. "Is everything okay mom?" "Yes dear everything is fine, I just wanted to let you know that I'm coming down to visit you this weekend" My mom rarely visits since she lives in Colorado while I live here in Washington because of school. "That's great mom! I can't wait to see you". " I can't wait to see you too honey. But I have to go, I'll call you tomorrow"."Ok mom talk to you tomorrow. I love you!" "I love u too sweetie bye hun!" " Bye Mom" I say and then hang up.

I check the time and it's already passed midnight. I brush my teeth, put on my pajamas and go to bed. I have class tomorrow and I need all the sleep I can get.
--------------------------------------------------*--------------------------------------------------
I wake up and check my alarm clock, which didn't go off. It's 7:30. "Shit I'm gonna be late for class". I grab a shirt and a pair of jeans not caring what I was gonna wear and ran into the bathroom. I quickly changed brushed my teeth and put my hair in a messy bun. I didn't bother putting on makeup like I usually do because I didn't have time. In a hurry I grabbed my book bag and ran out the door. I jumped in my car and was speeding down the road until I got to my school(which is Washington state university).

When I got to class I was about five minutes late. After I walked through the door there was tons of eyes on me.

"Please take a seat Ms. Collins" my professor, Mr. Johnson tells me. I take a seat and get my notebook and pencil out. "As I was saying we have a new student joining us" Mr Johnson says. Why would anyone join our class in the middle of the year? i think to myself. " He is from Austin, Texas, Mr. Myers will u please come to the front of the class and introduce yourself to everybody.

A guy stands up and walks in the front of class. " Hey I'm Jason Myers but my friends call me Jas". I have to admit Jason Myers is quite good looking. He's about 5'8" and has a medium build and piercing brown eyes. He has jet black hair that is cut to perfection. "Why don't you tell the class a little about yourself" Mr. Johnson says. " Umm...sure. I'm 20 years old and I like to read and draw but I really love to play basketball". " Well thank you for sharing" my professor says.

"Ms. Collins?" Mr. Johnson asks me. "Yes Mr. Johnson?" I answer. "Would you mind if you could share your notes for this class with Mr. Myers, since he joined us in the middle of the year?" Umm... of course not Mr. Johnson" I say. " Great, Mr. Myers take a seat next to Ms. Collins".

"Hello I'm Jason!". "Umm hi I'm Emma and I already knew that your Jason. You kinda just told the whole class" I say. "Right. Sorry I'm just trying to be friendly". "I'm sorry too. I wasn't trying to sound rude I was just pointing out that...well u know what I mean" I say stuttering and confusing myself. Jason giggles quietly and says "Your a funny one, aren't you? I think I sat next to the right person." I smile at his sweet comment and he smiles back.
