Our Great Love

Chapter 1: Lilly

August 

I see him the second I step into the crowded classroom, he's the only one sitting at a table with an empty seat. I wonder if maybe he's waiting for someone because he's staring at his phone and has his backpack in the chair. But I really need to be in this class and I need to sit down before the teacher comes out. So I slowly approach him and stand at the edge of the table on the side with the empty seat. I stand there for a bit waiting to see if he notices me but he doesn't until I speak.

"Hi, is this seat taken?" I ask him with a smile, while motioning to the seat. He slowly raises his head to look at me and the second our eyes meet I'm lost. His eyes just captivate me, they can't seem to decide if they wanna be brown or green and trying to decide that is like solving a puzzle that is missing pieces. He looks at me for a while before moving his backpack and smiles. At that point I'm breathless, his smile is so kind and bright. I swear it lghts up the whole room and my soul.

"Thanks" I say while he continues to stare as I sit down and place my backpack on the back of the chair.

"Of course" He says and just when I thought he couldn't get any sexier he speaks and my fucking heart wants to jump out of my chest. I turn to smile at him but when our eyes meet again his smile is replaced by a serious expression. And oh my god his eyes are just swimming with questions and emotion. I could stare at them for hours and never get bored. His eyes compliment his features so perfectly, especially his hair. He has brown hair that is not long but looks so soft and fluffy. He's also got a sexy beard and mustache too which frames his face beautifully.

"Hi my name is Joseph Allen but most call me Joe. What's your name?"

It takes me a second to realize he spoke to me but I quickly snap out of my daydream and answer him."My name is Lilly Snow, Nice to meet you Joe"

"Nice to meet you too Lilly."

"Thanks for letting me sit here, I swear this class is so packed"

"What class is this again?"

"Umm this is English 2, it's for freshmen but honors" I question his knowledge and if he is actually supposed to be in this class since he didn't know it. But I really hope he stays. Sadly that hope disappears when he speaks again.

"SHIT!, I'm in the wrong class, I'm sorry I have to go but can I get your number?"

'Umm I don't normally hand out my number to people, especially since I don't really need it because you're not in the class" I laugh since he definitely isn't responsible and its funny that he's going to be late for his actual class.

"Fine I'll just stay, I mean how much can English change from one class to another."

"You can't stay! It won't make sense to you and you will get in trouble for missing your other class" I have no clue why he wants to stay when he could get in trouble but he seems like the type of person who doesn't care.

"I'm staying, I'll just transfer classes."

"Umm ok your funeral" I try to end the conversation there and focus on the class since it finally started. Unlike him, I need to focus on my school and my classes because it's the only way I'm going to get to work as a vet, which is my dream career.
