Three Kings, One Girl, One Decision

Chapter 5: The New Kids

"Hey there chic," Jackie greets me when I get to my locker. I give her a quick "hi" and then proceed to my locker. She doesn't talk while I grab my stuff, knowing that if I get distracted I'll forget something. Should I tell her about yesterday? I wonder. I recall yesterday's events and blush at the thought. His words go through my mind.

"You will see me again. I can promise you that."

I shiver slightly and then continue to get my stuff. I double check that I have everything and then shut my locker. We begin to walk to our first class, Pre Calculus, when she speaks.

"So guess what happened to me after you left the party?" Jackie asked with a smile glued to her face.

"I don't know, what?"

"Joseph asked me out," she says, smile widening.

"That's good. Haven't you liked him for awhile?"

"Yeah," she says with a giggle. I laugh at her as we walk into the classroom. We take our seats as the warning bell rings, signaling we have five minutes to get to class. I sit in the back, with Jackie on my right, an empty seat to my left, someone in front of me, and the wall behind me. Me and Jackie continue to talk until the final bell rings and Mr. Stevens, our teacher, walks to the board.

"Okay class-" he begins before he's interrupted by a knock on the door. He walks to the door and opens it, finding one of the office secretaries on the other side. There's someone else behind her, but I can't tell who it is. Stevens and the secretary have a quick conversation before the secretary leaves, leaving the person behind her with Stevens.

"Well class, it seems we have a new student," says Stevens. He then turns to the person in the hallway. "Come on in, they don't bite...well most of them," he says jokingly. The boy steps into the room and I pale. He has blue hair that slightly covers his matching blue eyes. Oh my God! It's that boy I drew! Seeing him makes a memory come flooding back into my mind. He was in my dream! That weird dream I had!

"Why don't you introduce yourself," says Stevens, interrupting my shocked thoughts. The boy steps forward and looks at the class, his eyes resting on me.

"I am Egyn," he says. The class started commenting and question all at once.

"Egyn?"

"What's up with your hair?"

"He must be from out of country."

"He's cute."

"I wonder if he's single."

"Alright class, calm down. Egyn, why don't you take a seat..." Stevens scans the room, his eyes resting on the seat next to me. Oh please, please no. "Take a seat next to Cecilia over there."

The boy nods and makes his way to the desk next to me. He looks at me and smiles. I only look at him with a shocked expression. He laughs quietly and I blush.

"Okay, here's your assignment for the day," says Stevens, while writing on the board. "I'm allowing you to work with partners today. Cecilia, I want you to work with Egyn since he doesn't have a textbook," he says before I can even glance at Jackie. I pale even more, if that's possible.

"Okay, get to work," Stevens says as he sits at his desk.

I turn to Egyn. He's smiling at me in amusement, which means I'm still blushing. My blush deepens and he laughs. Everyone else has partnered up with their friends and have begun "working", aka talking and pretending to work. I sigh and get out my textbook, turning to the assigned page. Egyn has scooted his desk closer to mine to be next to me.

"Okay, here's the page. Let's get to work," I say, avoiding eye contact. I begin to work on a sheet of paper as he does the same. The assignment is pretty simple, well at least for me.
