#*Caroline's POV*#
I'm STUPEFIED! I just stand there staring at him, completely and utterly dumbstruck. We just stand there, staring at each other as if the other was from a totally different planet.
His face is dumbfounded, the only emotion being shock and a hint of horror. He finally regains his composure and sneaking a glance at the teacher from the sides of his gorgeous and mesmerizing eyes. He puts out his hand towards me.
I look down at his hand and slowly pull out mine. I shake his hand for what seems like an eternity. In that eternity I felt bazilion things. I can't really point out what it was. But it was like an electric current ignited my body.
I shake my head slightly and look at him, bringing myself back into the present and the polite girl that I am I say, "Nice to meet you, I'm Caroline. You can call me Cal or Carol."
He puts up a smile, a little forcefully, probably still shell-shocked at our meet. Nevertheless, he says, "I'm Cameron. Nice to meet you too Cal."
He walks off, just like that, without a glance back at me. I seriously don't know that guy's problem with me.
"Settle down class, we will move onto our lesson for now."
I take my seat and place my guitar leaning against my desk. Cameron takes a seat on the row next to mine, just a person across on the right. Class continues but I can feel someone constantly staring at me.
I whip my head to my right and just in time for Cameron to whip his head back tot he teacher's slideshow. I glare at him and he slowly moves his head and with his eyes motions to me as if asking -WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT?
I just continue glaring at him. I mean, c'mon he was the first to sit and glare at me and then has the audacity to ask me what I'm doing glaring at him?
Class ends and I rush off to AP Literature, in hopes of meeting Steph and cooling off my mind about that guy who I can't even figure out.
I spot her waiting in the corridor and rush towards her, just as she pulls me into a hug. We walk together to the class. The teacher walks in with someone in tow. I'm dumbfounded once again as I stare into Cameron's brown eyes for what feels like the millionth time in the day. He averts his gaze away from mine, his expression, totally unreadable.
Stephanie nudges my arm and asks, "In love with the newbie?", a smirk evident on her face.
I stare at her like she was crazy, "Who me? And him?" I say motioning towards where Cameron stands as he listens patiently to the teacher who explains the finished portion in the past two weeks, during his absence.
"NO WAY!" I exclaim and I'm met by the deathly stare of the sweet Ms.Stephanie Tykson.
"Yea right, I can see the way you look at him and the way he looks at you. You may not admit it but, I know love when I see it. You have already planned your next move at him." she says with a small smile playing at her lips.
"Move? What move? I have no move" I reply without meeting her eyes.
"See? First of all, you are constantly repeating what I say and then you place an question and choose to answer it yourself! Only fools do that and right now you are the fool in love. Secondly, YOU ARE NOT LOOKING INTO MY EYES...." she points out.
Honestly, I don't really know what love feels like but I'm not the love at first sight girl. At least, I hope so....But I do know that this is so not loving. It was just a weird feeling of meeting someone you already met but never expected to see again.
"I.AM.NOT.IN.LOVE!" I say while dragging out each word.
"Fine, you're not. Which means I get to drool on him. I mean, look at him- his abs are clinging to the thin material of his shirt so well that you can easily check out his torso." she replies while drooling over Cameron.
I shake my head at her, a small chuckle escaping my lips as I laugh over her obsession of boys. But I can't help but feel something burning deep down in the pit of my stomach. I can't really figure out what that is, so I just forget about it and continue reading Macbeth, one of my favorite books of all time. It was on our reading list for this year and since I already knew a lot about it, I didn't really care much. I loved Shakespeare and really appreciate a lot of his works. This type of tragedy is pretty catchy to me. I like his verse in one of the plays- As You Like It-
-All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and entrances;
And one man in his time has many parts-
That pretty much sums up the meaning of life, in a more Shakespearean way.
I continue reading and flipping through the pages of this mesmerizing book, with the occasional chuckle coming from me when I say the exact words at the exact timing.
As soon as the class ends, I go hand in hand with Stephie(her new nickname from me!) and we head towards the cafeteria and line up to check what's on the menu.
"So......I never really got a chance to ask you, but do you have any friends here?" she asks. I shake my head and point at her with my fork and say, "Except for you, none"
"So, does that mean I'm your friend?" she asks, eyebrows raised and an amused look on her face along with a hint of delight.
"Apparently, yes, but if you say I'm not it's fine..." I say just as I'm interrupted by her speaking,
"Of course you are, and I'm glad I'm your friend. I came here from Australia and never made any friends in the first week of school. Then I met you, and here we are, Best Of Friends!" she says with a childish gleam in her eyes.
"Well then, I'm glad to have met you too!" I reply enthusiastically, a wide smile set on my face.
She smiles back and we continue eating with the occasional groaning of the next few classes remaining.
