"Shailey Parker?" i look up from my book, The Drowning of Arthur Braxton. "Here" smiling slightly, Mr. Hobbs checks my name off and continues down the list.
A lanky blonde boy stumbles into the class room seconds after the bell rang. "Mr. Hemmings, you're late" the teacher shakes his head. "Go find an empty seat." the boy scans the room finding the one empty seat in front of me.
He smiles towards me, slipping into the chair. He smelled like cigarettes and hair spray. his clothes were wrinkles and tore, but i think it was suppose to be that way to give him some bad ass edgy look. his blonde hair stood up perfectly.
''now class, on page 37 is your project pick a partner. it's due next Friday. good luck.'' Mr. Hobbs turns back to his computer screen.
setting my book aside, i pick up the enormous history book. slowly scanning the pages i feel a pair of eyes staring directly. looking up i see the boy staring at me we make eye contact and he still doesn't speak.
"are you going to say something? or are you trying to send me a message telepathically?" i huff rolling my eyes. "oh sorry. what page is it on.." he giggles. "37" i return my eyes to my textbook. "thank you, im Luke by the way." he smiles tugging at the black metal ring on his lip.
"Shailey Parker."
