Shattered Hearts

Chapter Four:Grey

I am a sinner. Whose probably gonna sin again. Lord forgive me.
-Kendrick Lamar

Grey POV:
What are the odds. I can't exactly decipher the look on her face but it seems like she is contemplating life. Is it that bad to work with me? Have I caused a bad impression already? I'll prove her wrong.

As I walk to her desk, I zoom in on her eyes. It feels like I've been struck by lightning. In a good way. Blue.

The most earth shattering blue I have every seen in my life. The color of the waves on a bright early morning in summer. The color of lighting when it strikes. Seems to have that effect on me.

I notice the lightest hints of green in her eyes. You will only notice it if you look closely though. The same color green as fields of grass. The color of lime.

It fits her perfectly.

Shes perfect.

From the brightness and happiness in her eyes to her tanned skin. What is she doing to me? We havent even spoken yet.

¨Hi,¨ I greet. She smiles. Oh my gosh. I might pass out right now.

She has the most gorgeous smile I have ever seen. The kind that will light up your whole day. The type of smile that will turn the greatest villain into a goner.

I sound whipped.

She puts her hand out and says, ¨Hi, my name is Avyanna.¨ Her voice. Sounds like honey. The type of voice of an angel. I could listen to her voice and look into her eyes all day and not get bored.

I put my hand into hers and I got electric shocks. Her palms are so soft. Feels like a cloud.

I can tell she felt it too, because she jumped back. ¨Nice to meet you, I'm Grey,¨ I reply back with a smile.

I put my bag down and sit next to her. Which was relly close. Our knees were touching. If i moved any closer our thighs woud be pressed together. She noticed this as well and moved uncomfortably. ¨Do you want me to move,¨ i ask while getting up

¨No,¨ she shouts while grabbing my hands and pulling me down. Oh ok. I guess I'm not moving.

I sat back down and pull out my chromebook. She does the same.

¨So, what to do first,¨ I ask. ¨ Well I can create a doc that can organize all of our ides. Then we can construct the article,¨ she states.

Incredibly smart. Another thing to add to her list of perfections. I wonder if she has any flaws. Probably not.

¨Perfect! Would you be able to work outside of school,¨ I ask. I wanted to ask for more than work, but I dont want to seem creepy. I mean we just meet it would seem like I'm some stalker.

Pfft. Like I would ever.

She looks conflicted. Just as I was about to take back my offer she interrupts and says, ¨ I would love to actually. I have AAU practice on Mondays and Wednasdays. Saturdays i have tournaments. Those are the days that I cant work.¨

She plays basketball. Shes my soulmate! I would marry her right now.

¨Why do you look so surprised,¨ she laughs. Another thing to add to the list. Beautiful laugh. I would do anything to make her laugh. For her to be happy because of me. This feels amazing. I feel euphoric. Like I'm on top of the world.

Shes been growing on me and I might be the same for her. The start of a beautiful friendship.

I start laughing and say, ¨No, its just you seem perfect.¨ She immediately blushes and smiles.
And then starts to hide behind her hair.

I didnt want to make her uncomfortable, but I put her hair behind her ear and lift her chin.

Immediate sparks.

I want to kiss her.

But I cant. She is untouchable. I know she wont want to be with a murder

My mood immediately dampens at this. But instantly brightens when she smiles and starts stuttering.

Its great to know I have this effect on her. It turns out I might not be the only one with feelings here.

Her face has been heated this whole time. She looks like a tomato. Its actually kinda cute. She is blushing because of me! Achievement of the century. I have never felt more fulfilled in my entire life. ¨Lets get back to work,¨ she states.

¨Basketball, journalism, and gorgeous,¨ I state while typing. She lifts an eyebrow and looks at me questionaly.

¨Oh, im making the list for my article,¨ I say. This leads to more blushing from her. At this point making her blush has become my new hobby.

¨Wait how do you know I like journalism," she asks. I knew this question was coming. My first chance to prove that I'm not a stalker.

¨Firstly you choose this class, I saw the joy and light in your eyes when you came in here, your glowing, and when you opened your computer you seemed so happy to be writing. I've just been observing,¨ when I say this she smiles.

For a minute or so we just look at each other and smile. ¨Lets get this internship,¨ she says with a bright light in her eyes. I nod while smiling brightly.

Lets get this internship!
