The Dark Night

Part - 2

Today was the first day of senior year, I wear my pink skirt with a black over- sized t-shirt, I curl my hair and do my makeup and before leaving I look in the mirror "Wow, Harper Elsher is looking... beautiful? maybe not never mind." I tell myself because I never felt attractive enough to appreciate myself. I collect my stuff and stroll outside to wait for my bus.

While waiting at the bus stop I can't help but notice a really cute guy. He was wearing grey joggers and a hoddie, and he appeared to be my age. Then I noticed a dragon tattoo behind his ear, which added to his beauty. Just as I was admiring him, he glances directly at me and smiles. The dimples beside his lips were just showing, and the way he grinned would make any female fall to her knees. God knows how many girls that lip has kissed.

The bus finally arrives and as we get on the bus, the bus was packed so we, including me and the guy with other people I didnt even notice had to stand through the ride. I was standing infront and the guy and he was behind me, he was so close I could feel his breath in my neck and suddently the driver stopped the car which caused him to grab my waist. His arm around my waist. "Sorry, it just..." I didn't even pay attention to what he was saying because all my attention was on my waist, the waist which was in his arms.

Just then he realizes me staring in his arms he must've assumed I wasn't comfortable so he removes his hand. I was comfortable, very comfortable indeed "Hey, Andrew Anderson." he says bringing his hand forward "Oh no its Harper Elsher." I reply and he starts bursting with laughter exposing his dimples when makes me go weak in the knees again. "Oh, uh were you introducing yourself?" I shudder feeling embarassed. "Yes Harper Elsher." Him taking my name makes me blush.

"We've reached Harper." Upon glancing outside, I realize we have arrived at the school. I get off the bus and look behind and Andrew is gone. I see Ashley waiting for me and we go to the class together. As we settle down for the class to begin the teacher announces "Everyone, we have a new student today please make him feel welcome." And then Andrew enters the class.

"Hey, Andrew Anderson." he says that smiling towards me. "My name is Andrew Anderson and I'm a new student hope to know all of you." saying that he is seated two tables away from me. Andrew was staring at me the entire time he introduced himself, which makes it impossible for me to concentrate in class.

We go to the cafeteria to eat our lunch and sit in our usual spot. We start a converstation while eating like we always do.

"How'd you feel about the new guy Harper?" Ashley askes me 

"He's cute." I reply

Our converstation was inturrepted by Noah.

Noah : "Hey baby what are you doing"

Ashley : "I'm just thinking something."

Noah : "Thinking about me huh?"

Ashley : Ashley looks at me grinning and tells Noah "I want to breakup with you." 

Noah : "Breakup? Did I hear you right Ashley? What did I do? You can't be serious."

Ashley take and my hand and heads towards the classroom. Ashley leaves Noah without even answering his question, and to be honest I also don't know the reason, or maybe I do.
