March to your beat

Chapter 3

Harley

"Emma, why aren't you over here with your friends" they all laughed at me. I couldn't help but smile.I have three best friends all with different but unique personalities. Layla, the bubbly one who always has a smile on her face. Eve, the loud one who can always make you laugh. Jess, the only guy, who is "the star" and always gets the girls. "I don't know...i couldn't find you " which was a complete lie. I knew exactly where they were. "Well I guess we're sitting here with you" Layla said (with a smile).

Layla sat down and flipped her long brown hair along with Eve And Jess. "Did you do the homework for English" Eve said. "Yeah" I said. "What was it I need to copy off of it!".I laughed "ok it was about-" I stopped. "What is it?"she asked, but I didn't answer. He was sitting with another guy and they were talking. He had short brown hair and was wearing jeans and a black band shirt with red markings I couldn't quite read."who's that?" I asked with curiosity. "Oh that's Harley baker" Jess said "he's new and is really good at sax". "Really...." I looked at him, I couldn't quite figure it out but something about him was...different. "OMG, you should introduce yourself" Layla said excitedly. "Oh uh-" I stuttered, just then the bell rang and it was time to go. I guess I really was saved by the bell.

I said goodbye to Jess and Eve and headed for first period, chemistry. I have Layla for all of my classes so I always walk with her. "Oh your never gonna guess what happened over the weekend!" She started talking but I wasn't listening. I couldn't stop thinking about Harley. We finally got to the classroom and walked to our tables. We never sit down in chemistry since were always doing experiments. Mrs Morris, our chemistry teacher spoke "good morning class today were going to-" then I looked over to my right and saw Harley right next to me. Where did he come from?. Then I heard mrs Morris talk "I'm assigning each of you partners. Emma you and Harley are going to be working together". I froze and Layla chuckled. We looked at each other for a brief sec then looked away. This might be harder than it looks.

After she assigned partners she told us to get to work. We stood silently next to each other. "Hi" I said

"Hi"

"Do you know what to do, I wasn't listening"

" yeah it's easy"

"Ok good" I smiled back then he smiled back too. This might be easier than I thought. His voice was soft as velvet and his eyes were a golden brown. "We should probably get to work" he said. "Yeah we don't wanna get yelled at " I said nervously. We both laughed and locked eyes. We stared at each for what seemed an eternity. Then Mrs Morris voice broke our stare "you have fifteen minutes left!". We grabbed our materials and finally got to work. I still couldn't get the color of his eyes out of my mine.
