The Frolic Game

JAX

The day of new life has finally come.

I was standing outside the main gate of St.Calesburg, my dream university. The joy coursing through my veins felt like they could explode soon. My parents were with me too. I had already talked to Grammy about staying with her and she was beyond happy. My heart was swelling with unadulterated emotions. I hugged my parents and told them that I would visit them often.

I took my first steps and was handed my locker number. It was locker 452, at the round 2 pavement of the main hall. I went inside and was astonished to see the lavish school hall. It was breathing.
As I was taking everything in I didn't notice my surroundings. As I took a sharp turn, I didn't notice the figure running towards me, and with a loud thud, we landed on the floor. All the books were scattered on the floor.

"I am so so sorry", a feminine voice reached my ears and as she helped pull me up, I noticed her and was awestruck.
She had light coloured skin and dark black hair with soft curls spreading over her shoulders and back. She had a sharp chin and a defined nose. Her lips were full and had a tint of rosy pink which urged me to taste them. But what attracted me the most were her eyes. They were dark brown and when sunlight from the table window illuminated her allure, her eyes shone like a Brown Sapphire which was just carved out. Her eyes were not like any other woman's eyes, but something special. I could drown in them. But as I looked closely, her eyes held something I could not probably decipher. It looked like pain...or...longing...or......

I was snapped out of my reverie by her sweet voice.
"I am so sorry. It's my first day here and I am already so clumsy", she said picking up her books.
"It's absolutely fine", I said helping her. As I picked up her books, I saw her name in one of those- 'Tiffany Roberts'.
"Wow, you have such a beautiful name Tiffany", I said handing her the Books. As our hands touched, I felt a jolt of electricity run through my spine and I quickly removed my hand
"Thank you so much. I am really sorry but it's getting late for class. I see that you are looking for locker 452.", she ushered. I nodded my head.
"Come with me", she said.

I followed her and was happy to find that my locker was beside her.
"So, we will see each other often here", I chuckled.
"Seems like it". She smiled and I was lost.
"Let's go. We are getting late. By the way what's your first class?", Tiffany interjected.
"Mine's Advanced Physics, and yours?".
"Oh me too. Let's head together", Tiffany said smiling. I was elated at having her in one of my classes.

When we reached the class, Tiffany sat in the first row and I sat beside her. They all were single benches. Tiffany whispered, "It's Advanced Physics, so try to pay more attention. This subject constitutes the major part of your year end GPA".
I gestured to her about my confirmation and she laughed. That sweet laughter now plastered deep inside my mind and I wished to make her laugh more, just for me. I really am a selfish fuck.

The bell rang and all students suddenly got quiet. Our advanced physics teacher, Mrs. Namita Agarwal entered the room and greeted us. Judging by the way she talks and behaves with her students, she is a great and kind teacher.
As Mrs. Namita requested everyone to introduce themselves, I noticed Tiffany smiling contently and my heart felt a little fluttered at her happiness.

As the introduction proceeded, it got to my mind that Tiffany didn't know my name.
As I leaned closer to her and whispered, she backed a little, " By the way, I am Jax McKenzie. Nice to meet you Tiffany Roberts". I ushered my hand and she shook it smiling.
I knew that now , I wouldn't stop until I became her friend....or.... closer to her.

' I am a selfish fuck! '
