"Umm hello.", I say.
"I'm Eddie"
"Eddie?", Asks Mrs. Alm.
Darn. I wanted to start this year off differently I want everyone to call me Eden well I guess it's too late for that if I'm lucky they won't call me a loser.
"Well most adults besides my parents call me that.", I say with a sigh.
"So what should WE call you, Ed?", asks Piper, the prep sitting next to the boy in the beanie.
"Just call me Ed.", I say with hesitation.
"I've lived here in Los Angeles for almost my whole life except for when I was a baby. I was born in France. My dad is French. I have a little brother and I like t-t-t-"
His eyes. They're fixed on me. I can't speak he's so focused. What could possibly be going on in his mind?
"I like to, umm, draw."
He pulls out that smile of his the half smile and slowly claps with the rest of the class. Not taking his focus from me.
"Hmm let's see... How about you two, in front.", says Mrs. Alm pointing at Piper and the boy.
"Gladly.", says Piper.
They walk to the front of the class and Piper begins.
"Hi as you all know, I'm Piper."
"You're supposed to let your partner introduce you. Piper.", says Mrs. Alm.
"Fine.", says Piper.
The boy steps up and says,
"This is Piper. She has lived in LA all her life. She has two older sisters and likes to compete in pageants.", says the boy.
Piper flashes her pageant winning smile and waves as she steps up to introduce the boy.
"This is Henry."
"Harry.", he says in an annoyed tone.
I can easily notice the accent in his voice it's clearly a British accent.
"He's from England, he has an older sister, and he likes to sing."
Sing? Ha. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would go around singing.
After second period I meet up with Aria and we walk around during our bathroom/snack break I see him. I see Harry sitting alone on a bench just listening to music on his iPhone.
He looks so calm I wonder if he can actually sing.
"What are you looking at?", asks Aria.
She looks in the direction that I'm facing and I see a smile creep onto her face. She grabs my wrist and weaves us through the people flowing through the hallway until we're there, right in front of him.
"Umm hello?", says Harry
"Hi! I'm Aria. I see you're new here where are you from?"
"Holmes Chapel, England.", he says.
"Love the accent almost as much as the beanie. I have a beanie but it's in my locker we can't wear hats at school.", says Aria.
"Since I can't have mine neither can you!"
Aria snatches the beanie right off of his head revealing his brown curls. When I see him with out the beanie and I see him smile I get this whole new feeling about him I felt nervous before but now it's a whole new kind of nervousness. He quickly grabs it from her and puts it on her head they're both laughing hysterically. She looks at me and asks, "How's it look, Eden?"
The green beanie does look great on her but for some reason I just don't like the fact that she's wearing his hat.
"It looks good but you know you can't wear hats in school, Aria.", I say.
"Lighten up, Ed.", says Harry.
"My name's Eden.", I say.
"Well, I think it looks great on you.", he says to Aria.
"Thanks. It doesn't look too bad on it's owner either.",says Aria with a slight smile.
Is she actually flirting with him? Is he really flirting with her? This can't be happening. Not that I care. Do I?
