It was autumn, the air carries a sweet fragrance, as if it has been sprinkled with drops of honey. The leaves flutter in the soft breeze, spinning down to blanket the ground, and the sunlight glints off the golden leaves, making them appear as though they are made of gold.
My footsteps crunching the fallen leaves under my feet.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
A sudden gust of wind blew through the campus, swirling leaves around my feet as I hurried to my next class.
"Late again", I mumbled, my thoughts only half-focused on the road ahead as I dodged the crowds of students. I hated to be late but I had to write down notes since I wasn't paying any attention in biology class.
Suddenly, a body stepped directly in my path, blocking my way. Who the hell does this person think they are.
"Watch where you're going!" He snapped, his eyes narrowing to slits as he stared me down. What a weird guy.
I glared back at him as he stood in the way, staring me down. I frown.
"Watch where YOU'RE going", I retorted, my eyes staring into his as I stood my ground. I hate when people are so bitchy.
I guess both of us seemed to have forgotten every lesson their parents ever taught us, the intensity of our stares were growing until it was clear that neither of us was going to back down.
A moment of silence stretched between the two of us, the only sound the rustle of leaves from the trees around us. This is awkward as fuck.
"Excuse me," I finally snarled, brushing past him as I took a step towards the classroom.
"Excuse you", he scoffed in response, grabbing my arm and spinning me around to face him.
"It's obvious your mother didn't teach you any manners", he sneered.
I never really looked close to his guy. Orange hair, tanned skin and a muscular build. I looked into his brown piercing eyes. What a freak and a dumbass.
"If my mother didn't teach me manners, then yours obviously didn't teach you how to keep your hands to yourself," I snapped back.
There is an awkward silence and hell I didn't wanna be here with this dumbass.
Finally, the man released his grasp on my arm, stepping back, his eyes locked on to mine.
"You're very mouthy, you know that?" he said, his voice filled with a hint of annoyance.
I smiled, feeling my anger melt into a subtle hint of satisfaction.
"What can I say," I said, giving him a cheeky smile, "I don't let people get away with pushing me around."
The guy stared at me for a moment longer than necessary, his eyes looking at me top to bottom.
Finally, he let out a sharp exhale, as if he had just made a decision.
"What's your name?" He growled, his voice barely suppressing the hint of interest.
I looked up at the boy standing before me, my annoyance turning into curiosity as I took him in.
"Who's asking?" I replied, my voice tinged with skepticism, my eyes running up and down his body to take him in. He is muscular, but he sure is a brat.
His lips curved into a smirk.
He extended a hand, his gaze never leaving mine.
"Firey Smoke, and you are?"
