Storm clouds

Chapter-3 Glances and Glares

School started with its usual bell and we were called for another yet boring assembly.

I had 'chemistry' first and even though I know I have been babbling about doing maths and chemistry for getting a brain start the board full of equations assured my brain to wake up but also go numb in the process.

The class starts off with Mrs.Lantess arriving with her usual glossy self. The red high heels and the tight black and white waist shirt showed her perfect trim waistline.
The light hair straightened, her dark eyelids a contrast to the vibrant red full lips.

'Well now. Class settle down please.'', she says with a sweet smile.
At the same time a lean slender boy with his dark hair sticking out of place enters the class with exaggerated showiness, his face hidden away.

He hands a paper to the teacher and she smiles slightly and addresses the class,''This is our new student- Sebastian Gales. Please take your seat.''as she points at a seat parallel to mine from where he would have a pretty good view of mine.

He turns revealing his face finally towards the class. He glances around the room and his storm cold eyes rest on me. The same grey eyes seemed to have somehow pierced straight into my soul. He was the exact same guy who ran into me at the concert.

I break the eye contact first and then he does too. He takes his place.
The class goes on in a blur with his disturbing acrid glares which I simply couldn't ignore. Usually I was always good at this type of thing but something about him unnerved me. Like as if he was the storm in my lazy, cool life. More like an inevitable torrent.

As the bell rings I get up to pull my stuff into my backpack. The class empties within a few seconds. Kelly elbows me lightly at the side. She gestures me to look- Sebastian was with extreme slowness picking his stuff up. I look around to see that the class was empty except for me, Kelly and Sebastian.

His moves somehow made me jittery, so I took my bag and pulled Kelly out of the class hurriedly.
