Elise's Pov:

"Morning students! I'm your teacher Mrs. Brooks and I'm going to be giving you each an assignment." I sat in my wooden desk as usual, staring at my regular old #2 pencil.  I just wish this class would be over.  I want to go home now.

All of a sudden, I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder.  It frightened me at first.

I turn around in my seat and a pair of beautiful green eyes stares right at me. It's a handsome guy, my age. His hair, all brown and curly. Gentle curls lightly fall against both his ears.  His skin is kind of glowing. What?  Is this what happens when you like someone?

He smiles at me and whispers softly in a thick, British accent, "Hey."  Just that one word that came from his plump lips made me grin. I can't stop smiling. What is going on with me this morning?

He looks back and forth between the teacher and I.  He probably doesn't want to get in trouble from talking.

"Hi." Gosh I just noticed I said that really loud.  I face palm myself.

"Hello to you Elise Mountgomery," I heard Mrs. Brooks voice.  "Face forward, please."

Harry leans back, away from me and sits comfortably in his seat. I should turn back around now.

I turn back around slowly and face her, gulping.

Great.

"Alright, as I was saying" she narrows her eyes at me, "the assignment you'll have to do involves a partner, so I'm going to be a nice teacher and let you pick who u want to be with. Pick wisely! " She smiles at everyone in the room. I wish I had Erica in my Science class so we can be partners. She's my best friend since 5th grade.

"Okay get mingling!" Mrs Brooks told us and laughed, before clapping her hands together. Wow, she became so jumpy all of a sudden.  First thing you find in her is full of hatred, the next thing you see, she's laughing like a sea otter.

"Wow she's some teacher." The boy behind me mumbles.

I turn around in my seat. I laughed at him, "I know right. You don't see a teacher like her everyday."

He looks up at me with those glowing green irises again. Honestly, I could stare at them all day if I wanted to.

"Hey, do you wanna, maybe.. Be my-" I ask him but he stops me.

"Partner? Yes." He says playfully and smiling. "By the way, I'm Harry. What's your name?"

"Elise. You might've heard Mrs. Brooks announce it to the whole class." I roll my eyes. I'm still embarrassed from that.

"I might have..." Harry pretending to rub his chin, looking out the window to the right of him. It's to the left of me since I'm turned around in my seat.

I burst out laughing.

Harry's Pov:

Elise is a very unique girl. She's not like any other girl I've talked to.  Her dirty-blonde straight hair, how its length comes down her shoulders like a settled waterfall. Her delicate, light green eyes looking into my own. Okay you need to get a hold of yourself, Harold.

"Earth to Harry, earth to Harry!" Her beautiful angelic voice echoes around me. I finally come back to life. 

"Yeah?" I blink rapidly and palms feel sweaty. Be cool Harry, be cool.
