"What's your name?"
"Why ya talkin' to mi?"
"Because I want to. Now, what's your name?"
"You don't need ta know dat."
"Why are you so mysterious?"
"Why you askin' meh a lotta questions?"
"Maybe I want to know who you are."
"Maybe...
"Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass?..."

The bell rings, signaling the start of first period. I settle into my seat across from Roman as the teacher begins talking.
"Good morning class! My name is Mrs. Fleming and welcome to the wonderful world of Chemistry..." I roll my eyes and drown her out, pulling out my phone. My mind is still stuck on this morning.. I really hope she didn't see me. That would've been so embarrassing, fuck.. I don't know why I keep thinking about the way she was staring at me. Maybe it was her eyes or something, I'm not sure, she was so pretty...
A knock on the door snaps me out of my racing thoughts. I look up and watch as the teacher walks to the door and opens it.
I then watch as a slender , tattooed hand gives her a note. The teacher then smiles and steps aside as the person walks in. When she does, a gasp comes from me, but it is muffled by the low "oohs" coming from some girls and a loud wolf whistle coming from the back of the room.

I watch in awe as the teacher motions to a seat in front of me and the girl begins walking toward me.
"Bitch..." I hear Roman whisper beside me.
As the girl comes closer, we make eye contact and my body seems to go numb under her sparkling green eyes. It's as if the whole world melts away, leaving me in a darkness with the inability to breathe.
Oh shit. Onika, breathe.
My mind instructs me to but I can't. I watch as she throws a smirk in my direction, making me start to choke.
As I struggle to regain my posture, she sits in her seat with such ease, setting her backpack on the floor.
"You okay?" Roman asks, patting my back.
I nod and pat my chest. "Y-yea." I squeak out, trying to avoid eye contact with the new girl.
The teacher then begins speaking over the bustling students, finally starting the day.
