Enigma

The next morning, I threw my alarm clock at the wall; smashing it to pieces. I wasn't ready to wake up since I came home late last night.

My mum heard the smashing sound and yelled out my name. I groaned and buried my face into my pillow.

Eventually, I woke up and got ready. Surprisingly, I didn't have any dark circles under my eyes; just a hint. For today, I just settled with a dark blue v neck shirt with black jeans paired with my leather jacket.

When I went downstairs, my mum was nowhere in sight. There was just a note on the kitchen counter stating she had to go to work early and my breakfast was in the microwave.

I ate and drove myself to school. While driving, I remembered that today was the day I start my project with Raven and I don't know why, I was excited. A smile crept on my face and drove faster to school.

I guessed since I was waiting for biology class, time decided to go slower. I impatiently waited for my history class to end while tapping my pencil on my desk; earning a few glares from the other students. Amber was next to me and she was sitting facing my side with her exposed legs stretched in front of her; laughing loudly. Mrs. Smith didn't even bother to shut her up since there were only a few minutes to class.

I glanced at her and she was still laughing which sounded really fake. She kept glancing at me hoping her laughter would catch my attention. When she saw me glancing, she open her mouth to say something but was cut by the bell.

I quickly gathered my things and made my way to biology but not before hearing a faint calling of my name which I knew was from Amber.

When I open the door for my biology class, I immediately scanned the room for Raven. When I didn't spot her, a disappointed look crept up my face since I have to impatiently wait for her to show up. I didn't understand why I was so excited to see her but I didn't mind.

The door opened and I perked up when I saw the jet black hair that sits on top of the petite girl; walking to her sit with her head hung low.

Raven placed her books on the desk and pulled out her stool to sit down. She was wearing her combat boots with washed ripped skinny jeans that showed off her shapely legs and a loose black blouse. Her hair was up in a messy ponytail with a few strands that fell around her face.

She turned her head to me and I couldn't help but noticed the bags under her eyes. Her eyes locked with mine and I was immediately mesmerized by it.

"Hi, Trevor." She said loud enough for me to hear over the fuss around us from the other students.

"Hi." I replied with a smile; still mesmerized by her eyes and I again, question the way it looked dull.

"Could you give me your address?" She asked; sliding me a piece of paper she tore from her notebook. I eyed the paper and then looked back at her.

As I was lost in her eyes, I didn't understand why she would want my address. So being the dumb fuck that I was, I said. "Why w-would you want my address?"

She opened her mouth and then closed it before opening it again. I couldn't help but zero on them.

"It's for the project." She said slowly.

"What project?" I questioned. Then I mentally slapped myself for being whipped and forgetting about the project. She noticed my sudden realization and a glint of amusement showed in her eyes.

Embarrassed, I rubbed the back of my neck with my left hand. "Sorry, I forgot." I apologized while smiling sheepishly.

She nodded and said. "So can you write your address for me?" while tapping her index finger on the paper in front of me. I nodded and she turned her attention to her textbook.
