New Faces

I woke up late and ran to class, not stopping for breakfast but to just simply put a shirt on and grab my books and laptop bag.

I swing the lecture theatre door open to find my whole class sitting and Erica handing out the exams.
I rush to my seat, hoping that nobody would notice that I'm late.
When Erica hands me my exam, to I notice that there is a message in fine print at the top of the page.
She winks at me before yelling to the class "
Good luck everyone!! You have 3 hours!"
she walked back to her desk and opened her laptop.
I picked my paper up and read the small printing at the top.
"you're already guaranteed a 95% good luck."
I automatically felt guilty as I felt that I was using her to get good grades.

After an hour and a half of my exam I was finished. I went up to the front of the class and handed it in.
Erica took my paper then pulled me close.
"Meet me here at 3 in the morning."
Erica pulled a smirk as I turned around to find Caspar glaring at me. His eyes were full of rage, as a vein was clearly livid through his neck, his hands were holding a pencil as you would a knife,
clenched it between his palms.
I looked at him in confusion right before leaving the exam room.

Once the door closed I took a fast turn in the hallway and started running down the corridor.
Suddenly I bumped into something causing me to almost flip and land on the hard ground.

"Ah, Fuck!"
I blurted out as I examined my badly carpet burned elbow.
I hear rustling behind me so I turn around.

"I'm so sorr-"
She looked up at me, she was absolutely perfect, she was something i've never seen before. The highlights of her blonde hair sparkled golden from the sunlight let in from the window at the end of the hall. her stunning emerald pearls twinkled and stood out on her flawless face.
"No it's completely fine, it's my fault." She giggled.
Her voice and laugh sent shivers down my spine.
How was I falling so quickly? With someone I didn't have a chance with, someone I didn't even know.

I stood up and extended my arm to help her up.
She took my hand, her hand fit in mine perfectly.

She stood up to just below my height.

"No, it was my fault, I shouldn't have been running through the halls."

She smiled at me with her perfect teeth, making me wonder how could one human being be so gorgeous.

"I'm Joe, by the way. Joe Sugg."
I sweetly smiled at her .
She then returned the smile.
"Addison Barker, like a dog... "
She scanned my face.
"Wait, I think you're in my art and photography class?"

I looked at her confused, how could I been so oblivious to my surroundings? How have I not seen her before.

"C-b A star?"
I told her my class.

"yeah."
she smiled.

"Well, I have to head to my English exam so, see you around?

"yeah, totally."
I smiled and handed her a binder she dropped.

"Oh, thank you."
she then turned around and ran down the hallway.

I sat there in complete confusion.

'Did I just fall for someone?'
I rhetorically asked myself.

I stood up and jogged back to my dorm, once inside, i went right back to sleep.

I slept until 5 pm when Caspar woke me up by slamming the door.

"you dick! i'm trying to sleep!"
I sleepily yelled also checking my phone for the time.
I heard Caspar grunt and then go the kitchen.

"Caspar! Why are you back so late? you should have been home by like noon!"
I shouted, still in my bed.
Caspar proceeded to make noise in the kitchen.
I swung my feet over my bed and stomped into the kitchen, where Caspar was making food.
