A/N
This chapter will be in the perspective of a different character- Alice Green.

I was walking around the school, looking up at the trees when suddenly, I collided with what might as well have been a rock solid boulder! I fell to the hard floor dropping all of my books on the way.

A loud huff escaped from my lips as my eyes swept of the mess around me. Great, now I had to pick everything back up like an idiot.

I lifted my head to looked up and see a guy standing in front of me. His face looked like he was deliberating whether to do something. Then, he reached down and grabbed me, pulling me up off the ground with his muscular arms.

When I looked at his eyes, I got lost in them. They were a beautiful, deep green that absorbed my own was in theirs. The shade was quite bright too, his eyes stood definitely stood out, especially when I was so close to his face. Suddenly, after losing myself in his gaze for a split second, I felt my cheeks blush lightly.

"Oh gosh, sorry about that."

"God...why do I have to be so damn clumsy...?" I muttered to myself.

He just stared at me, he didn't say anything back but still kept his eyes on me with a flustered, baffled face. I decided to break the silence and babble on...

"Honestly, I'm always bumping into people and dropping my books everywhere!"-at this moment I began to reach down for those very books, which were scattered over the floor-"I'm always too busy looking up at the trees and the sky and..."

Oh for goodness sake, I'm babbling way too much. Why can't I just shut up? I'm never normally like this... If this had happened with someone else I would talk quietly to myself, apologise, then quickly leave. That way I could let the small amount of embarrassment eat at me later.

But no, this time I couldn't shut up! Wait...was I nervous? I mean, yes, this stranger was very attractive but that's all he was- a stranger, so he should have had no affect on me at that moment.

During my deep thoughts, constant babbling and the stretch of my hand towards a book, I felt another big, warm hand touch mine.

I looked up to find the boy's face extremely close to mine and his eyes looking intensely at me. We must have went to pick up the same book...how cliché. It sounded like we were in a movie and it had just started out with the famous 'boy meets girl'.

"Sorry" he muttered. His voice was quite deep and...well...captivating.

"It's fine, it was my fault. Wait, it was your fault too, you need to walk around corners a little slower!"

He looked down and chuckled quietly. His face afterwards looked surprised as if it was the first time he had ever done it.

"Well you shouldn't have been, what was it, looking up at the trees?"

"...fair point."

He helped me pick up the rest of my tattered old books and stood facing me, shoving his hands in his pockets. We stood facing each other for what felt like ages. I wasn't sure whether he was going to say something so I racked my brain for conversation starters.

"So your the new guy?"

"Yeh."

"Hm, well I'm Alice, Alice Green."

"The clumsy one."

"Ha ha, very funny."

He smirked at me and I could have died. Why did this guy have to look so...damn good? I knew I sounded like a silly girl but hey, this guy was really something, no matter how many times he called me clumsy...
