Sour Gum

Im from Russia!

Ellie's POV

Walking into my first class, I hear a loud crash at the back. Turning my head, I look back there. A boy's on the floor, his chair to the side of him. Turning fully, I rush back towards him. Bending down I offer him my hand asking, "Are you okay?"

Opening his eyes he looks up at me. His blue eyes widen as he sees me, again I ask, "Are you okay?" This time he takes my hand saying he's alright.

Only then do I notice the boy to my left staring at me. His green eyes consume me. In the couple seconds I have, I take in his appearance. Brown messy hair, that reaches his ears, tan skin, and pale green eyes. Then the boy to my right groaned, breaking me out of the spell his green eyes had over me. Blinking I ask the boy with the green eyes what had happened. He shakes his head, then stutters out, "H-he fell." Suddenly the boy that fell looks to green eyes and yells, "You pushed me, you twat!"

Quickly, they start arguing about how the boy fell.
"Um..." I didn't really know what to say or do, so slowly I started walking backwards, but just as quickly as they had started they stopped arguing and just stared at each other before turning to me.

"What is it?" I ask looking at the two.
Bending down the boy picked up the chair that had went down with him before placing it back next to the boy with green eyes.

Dusting imaginary dirt off his pants, he looks down at me, are height a big difference, and sticks his hand out.
"So... I'm Ben." He shows me a charming smile as I gently shake his hand. When I let go he moves around me, walking to the front of the class before sitting in an empty seat.

Turning back, green eyes walked until he was in front of me, again I had to tip my head back to look up at him, he was even taller then Ben.
Putting a hand behind his neck, his green eyes met my brown ones, nodding he introduces himself, "I'm Easton."

"Well, Easton, I'm Ellie! It's nice to meet you but may I ask if it's true that Ben had fallen or did you push him?"

His eyes widen and he looked away, muttering that he had pushed him. I couldn't help but giggle a little as his eyes looked everywhere before looking back at me. Pointing to the chair next to him I asked if I could sit, quickly nodding he moved to the chair beside mine and sat, taking his things out, and then looks up at me. I realize I haven't even sat yet, so pulling the chair out I take my seat and get my things out.

" So... where did you move here from?" Looking at Easton I could tell he was nervous, why I'm not quite sure. "Well that's quite a long story."

"I have time." Just as he says that the bell rings, lifting my eyebrows at him, I shrug my shoulders and look to the front as the teacher walks in.

"Today sense we have a new student I've decided that you can have free time so she can get use to how the class is first." Everyone immediately starts talking to their friends as I turn to look at Easton. "Now where were we? Oh yes where are you from darling?" My heart flutters when he calls me darling.

"Well, I'm originally from Russia but my brother, who is also adopted like me, is from France and my father is American. Its a very long story but I'll make it short, my father travel to France and adopted my brother when he was six then a year later, they went to Russia where my father adopted me! And now we're one big, happy family!" I say in one big breath. "But I moved here from New York!"
