Gaze (boyxboy)

~Photo is Steele~

~Destery's POV~

I know, I know. It’s ridiculous. Standing here staring at him after not seeing him for so long, I wish he were mine, but even if I had him I still might lose him. I never want to look away from his eyes ever. His piercing blue eyes glancing at me for a split-second, before turning his attention to something else, I wonder what he was thinking when he saw me. His eyes gave emotions i couldn’t possibly sort out, fear, anger, confusion, hatred? He must hate me, right?

 Whatever, I move on in the seemingly endless line at my school on registration day, it was the start of my second year of high school, at Scarlett Key high school, in two weeks I’ll be in classrooms that fill me with anxiety and suffocate me slowly. I stop in front of the camera, to get my school ID, with a fake smile that seems slightly creepy, but then again that was me, a little creepy. An annoying camera-man pushes my perfectly-done, black bangs out of my eyes and it takes all i have not to bite the man’s hand off. After him taking pictures that look exactly the same, I walked to be assigned to my locker; soon i met up with my friends.

Let me show you all my friends, they are the colorful ones of the school. there’s Nova, my quirky best friend, she has a blonde faux-hawk that she's planning to dye some crazy color, she's been going here a year more than i have but she's an awesome friend and i love hanging out with her, then there’s my twin sister, Delia, she's a foot shorter than my 5'9 and were identical, the super genius who was pushed forward a grade two years ago, then there’s Tegan, she has short dark red hair, she was in the same grade as Delia and was on the color guard team with me and Delia, also there is Lumi, she's the tough one, she has long lavender hair that reaches her mid-back, she always sticks up for me no matter what, and lastly the newbie to the group Alexis, she had blue hair that went to her shoulders, she was and a grade under me, I'd known her so long and cared a lot about her, and anyone of these girls i would give my life for.

Delia and I got our locker, which was a perk of being twins with a senior, senior locker; we got our books and put it in our locker, we noticed Tegan got a locker three rows down with Nova, Alexis was paired with her friend, that I didn’t know, but was on the locker in the left corner, of course with her being a freshman she had a locker on the floor, Lumi didn't seem to get a locker near us but she'd be fine, she's pretty tough and could handle being alone. Lumi emerged, walking down the stairs across from where our lockers were she was half way across the hall when she was pushed over by some older classmen, she quickly got up about to run after the tall boy who had pushed her, but I grabbed her arm and stared into her furious eyes, and said sternly.

"Not here. Lumi you can't." she calmed and pulled her arm away. She mumbled curses to the boy and walked with me back to our friends. After a while I felt a presence all of my friends, except Alexis, was aware of, I turned just enough to see blue piercing eyes concentrating on the locker above Alexis's. I stiffened when our gazes met; I was pulled away by Delia and Lumi. As our gaze broke I cursed under my breath.

“Damn it.”

*day before school starts*

I walked downstairs in a big plain grey shirt and my black boxers, I hadn't bothered to do my hair today so I just took one of my sister’s hair clips and pinned my bangs to the side. I did remember to brush my teeth though, I'm not a completely slob.

I reached the bottom of the staircase and walked down the hall to the kitchen I saw it empty so I crept into it slowly and carefully towards the fridge. I opened it slowly and reached for my goal, when I heard one large footstep, my heart stops, I'm so dead. I spun around quickly to see my sister, Delia. I sigh in relieve, as I turn around again grabbing the sweet prize. Sitting at the dining table with Delia I grab a knife, and a fork I give her the fork.
