The Guy Next Door

The Mysterious Man

I look up into the male's eyes to see the most beautiful eyes ever. I was lost in them but they weren't like Liam's, they were more magical this time. I couldn't take my eyes from his eyes and then he coughed to break the awkwardness he was feeling. I shook my head to get out of my daydream. "oh I am s-s-so sorry. I better get going" I said not making eye contact to avoid this situation getting anymore awkward than it already was. I started to walk away but the man grabbed my arm. I tried not to look at him. "Look pal, I am really sorry. I didn't mean to stay hugging you all this time. Can you just let me go?" I still wasn't looking up.

"Hey, it's okay you look like you needed a hug." With the voice that I just heard I looked up to see the eyes again but this time I also saw the concerned look on his face. "Hey I knew you just had a pretty smile." He told me and I touched my lips because I didn't realise I was smiling and I was checking if I was actually smiling or not. I was startled to see that I was smiling but I don't know why I was since I felt really upset inside.

"Oh...." I was lost for words and I didn't know why. "I have got to go find my friend." I finally said as I left.

"Bye Lola." The guy said as I left and I turned around and looked at him in a confused way but he wasn't there anymore. I rubbed my head thinking about if he was real or not or I just imagined my ideal man that cares about me and was really good-looking. I was walking along being confused about what had happened and saw Kate finally.

"Hey Lola." Her face seemed to have a concerned look on it now. "Are you okay?" I was still trying to think about what had happened but there seemed to be no answer. I came out of my deep though and responded to her finally.

"Oh, yeah, I am fine. Natalie was being a cow as usual and I got upset and I met some random guy but he seemed to know my name even though I had never seen him before in my life." Her face looked intrigued by what I had just said.

"You sure you are okay? That guy seems a bit creepy like he is a stalker or something. You will have to tell me if you see him again. Did he even look like he was from this college?" I tried to remember his facial features.

"Umm, yeah, he looked slightly older but I suppose he could get away with looking our age." We started to walk back to the college again so we could go to the next lesson but I couldn't get that image out of my head at all. I didn't like him I just found him to be interesting. I needed to find him again and ask him how he escaped so fast and how he knew my name even though I hadn't told him. There were so many questions that needed to be answered but only if I could see him again.

I got into my Maths class and there he was sitting at the back of the class. He was surrounded by other people and surprisingly they all had the same eyes. Were they somehow related? I saw there was a spare seat next the guy so I decided to take my chances and sit by him. Other people in the class stared at me as I went passed them and sat by him. They were all still staring at me so I decided to turn to the man.

"So, what's your deal?" I outright asked him. He looked at me weird and all I could think about was his eyes. They were so beautiful and he started to smile. I wonder why he started to smile but I just stared him down until he answered me.

"What are you on about?" He said in an innocent tone but he knew what I was on about even though he made out that he didn't. I stared at him as I narrowed my eyes to warn him to tell me what had happened back then. "Honestly, I don't know what you are on about? I just comforted you because you were crying that is all." He said shrugging as he said it. He still tried to act as if he didn't know what I was on about which infuriated me even more. 

"I mean about knowing my name without me telling you? And how you just disappeared when I turned around to look at you. " I explained what I meant and he started to laugh again. What was his problem? "Seriously why do you keep laughing at me? Have I got something on my face or have I got something wrong with me?"  I suddenly became very self-conscious and went red as I felt if there was something on my face.

"There is nothing wrong with your beautiful face. I just find this situation funny." He said as he laughed and I just felt like slapping him. The teacher came in and I just moved my head forward and tried to take my mind of the annoying person next to him. I didn't even know his name but I knew he made me angry but I still found him to be intriguing to be around that is why I didn't sit somewhere else. Everytime I looked over at him he was smiling but I didn't understand why.  

 The teacher had finally finished talking and announced that the class was now over. As I packed up my things I looked over at the guy."So, what's your name?" I casually asked so my brother or Kate will know who he is or any of his mates. He smiled as if he knew what my plan was.

"My name is Marcus." He said putting his hand out to gesture for me to shake it. I shook it then turned  around and just stormed out as if I was interested in him but as soon as I got out I got my phone out to text someone but I didn't have Kate's number so I went to find her and tell her all about Marcus. I went to where I was with Liam earlier and there he was with Natalie on his lap and those two kissing madly. It didn't look romantic at all and not how I would imagine I would kiss anyone.

"Imagining about kissing me." Marcus creeped up behInd me and made me jump. He was laughing with his remark and I just gave him a look to shut him up. He carried on walking and his friends walked with him but I noticed one of the girls from his group. I looked out for her but she wasn't there and I wondered where she had gone since the maths lesson. She must of just pooped to the toilet while I wasn't looking. 

As I was watching them walk into the canteen Kate crept up behind me and said "boo." I screamed a  little but hardly anyone heard me so it wasn't too bad. She then looked at where I was watching before at the door. "What are you looking at?" She questioned me.

"Oh nothing come on let's go." I said as I hooked my arms around her and went to find a seat in the canteen. I saw the group of people and the girl was back but I swear she hadn't come in through the same door as the other people in the group. I looked over at Marcus and my mind trailed off from what Kate was saying and all I could concentrate on was Marcus. As soon as I said his name in my head he turned around at me and I saw that grin that I came smitten with and couldn't help but smile back. Kate tapped me on the shoulder and I looked back at her. 

"Is that the guy you saw before?" She questioned as if it was a bad thing that I had met him. 

"Oh yeah it is. Don't you agree he has amazing eyes?" I said in my little daydream.

"Umm, Lola have you looked at his eyes? They are very dark blue just exactly the same as all of the rest of the group. He is... weird. You like him don't you?" All I could do was nod because I couldn't believe she just called him weird. "Well he is dangerous. Just stay away from him will you?" MY eyes widened in shock and I couldn't believe what she had said and I felt like I was going to cry.

"Why on earth would he be dangerous? He looks harmless." I said looking over at him and I only saw the side of his face but Icould tell he had that smile I loved on it.

"Apparently the last girlfriend he went out with 'moved away' " I still wasn't getting why this made him dangerous and she saw I didn't understand yet."The thing washer parents still loved here and they said they hadn't seen her since she met him that she had been staying at his house for ages. Then she turned up again and one of those girls over there is her but she changed and people started to notice that she had different colour eyes. She also changed her name so some people didn't know that it was the same girl but you can tell. She denies it is her but you don't just look like exact same person as he went out with right?" I was standing there shocked but it made me more interesteding wanting to know more about this. "That is why I don't want you to fall for him then date him and end up not wanting to be my friend again and hurting your family in the process." I just nodded.

"You don't have to worry about that Kate. I will be fine and who says I want to date him?" I looked over at his face now and everyone was looking over at me and he avoided my eyes and he looked very shifty as if he was scared of something. We just walked out as the group mouthed something to Marcus.....
