"Hurry up you're gonna make us all late!"

I heard Kenn yell. Shit. My alarm didn't go off. I quickly got dressed and brushed my hair and teeth. I ran downstairs and saw my brother and his two friends standing by the door. They're practically my brothers too. Always staying over, bullying me, not letting any boys know I exist... that type of thing.

"It took you long enough." Stephen told me as I scowled at him and walked out the door. Stephen is tall and lanky. His shaggy brown hair is always covering his blue eyes.

"Well good morning to you too!" I say and hurry to get in the car.

After we arrive at school we said our goodbyes and split up. The red brick building always smells even after the janitors come. I went to my locker and just my luck it didn't open.

"Hey do you need help?" a british voice called to me. I didn't even look up to whoever it was and automatically said no. Alex Russell does not need help. This annoying person had to put his big, tattooed, hand on top of mine and asked what my combination was. I tell him the numbers and watch his fingers turn the dial.

"Thanks." I said and moved my hand from under his. I'd like to think I'm very open-minded. I know I'm not supposed to judge people but, this boy was seriously scary. And I'm not afraid of many people so that says something. He has tattoos that lead from his knuckles to up under the sleeves of his shirt. His big combat boots take a step back. My eyes trail up to the boy's jaw, then his cheekbones, then his bright emerald green eyes. He smelled like a bottle of cologne and cigarette smoke.

"You're welcome. So what's your name?" he asked.

"Really? You think I'd tell a complete stranger my name?" I put my books in my bag and try to avoid eye contact.

"You're right. I'm Harry. How about we talk about this after school?" he asked me. Should I really be left alone with this guy I mean I just met him?

"Uh yeah sure." I said without thinking.

"I'll see you after school. Meet me at your locker." I mean was I really gonna go with someone I just met 5 minutes ago? I have an idea. I'll just race to get home and try to avoid him around school. That's the plan.

It's now time for lunch and I'm gonna try to avoid him. I have a couple of friends, but not that many. I got my lunch and went and sat down next to the girls. Jailene gave me a weird look.

"What?" I say while opening the box of food on my tray.

"I know about you and your 'boyfriend'" she said and I practically choked on a peach slice.

"What? Oh that guy. No he was just trying to help me open my locker." I say hoping she won't make a big deal out of it.

"I was in the hall when he was 'just opening your locker' I saw your face!" she said really excited.

"Yeah yeah hush." To be honest, I didn't even feel like fighting today. Last night I studied for what seemed like forever.

I really have to dodge this dude if he's gonna make me go through these conversations everyday.
