I couldn't move. I was definitely embarrassed now. I could feel everyone looking at me, but I couldn't take my eyes off the beautiful ones looking at me. There were little flecks of green and brown mixed in, probably only visible from close up. Close up, like I was right now.
"Careful, love. You might want to slow down," he said, chuckling.
I quickly righted myself and took a small step back. I'd never seen this boy before, I was sure. If there was a boy this handsome in Holmes Chapel, I would know.
"Are you alright?" he asked. I suddenly realized I was staring. Smooth, Lana.ˆ
"Oh, yea, sorry. I'm fine. Sorry for running into you like that. I wasn't paying attention. I can be a little clumsy." Why am I rambling?
"Don't worry about it," he said, smirking at me. My stomach did a slight turn.
"Are you new? I don't think I've seen you around here." I asked, suddenly very curious about this boy.
"Yea, just moved here. It's my first day. I'm Harry," He said, extending his hand toward me.
I shook it lightly, surprised by his manners. "Langley."
He raised one eyebrow at me. Why did I say that? I hated my name, I never introduced myself with it. I was Lana.
"That's an unusual name. I quite like it. I assume you are from America?" He asked, smirking again. I never thought a smirk could be so adorable.
"Yea, it's weird I know. Everyone calls me Lana. And yea I'm from California, but I moved here when I was 11."
"Good to meet you, Lana. I'll see you around." And with that, he walked off towards the serving area.
I watched him walk away before turing to look at the table my friends were at. El and Brooke were both staring at him, then looked to me with mouths hanging open. Then I saw josh, still standing where I left him, hands crossed over his chest. He did not look happy. Great. I quickly exited the cafeteria and went to my locker to get my books for my next class. I found myself wondering about this new boy. I didn't really get a good look at him; I couldn't stop staring at his eyes. They were gorgeous and captivating. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard giggling and heels clicking down the hall toward me.
"Lan! Who was that? He's gorgeous! Did you see the way he caught you? So adorable. What's his name?" Brook asked a string of questions before I could even turn around to look at her.
"Harry. His name is Harry. He's new, I guess."
"I'd say!" El exclaimed. "I've never seen him before. I would remember a body like that. Did you get a good look at him? God bless his parents, I mean seriously. Those are some good genetics."
I started laughing at them as i closed my locker. "El, do you remember Louis? Brown hair, tall, crazy about you?"
She laughed. "I'm not interested. I'm just stating the obvious fact." She said, shrugging. With that, the bell rang, signalling the end of lunch and the start of our next class. I sighed, knowing I had three more classes to sit through before I could go home. I said bye to my friends and turned to go to biology. I entered the class and took a seat near the back where no one else was. None of my friends were in my class, so I sat alone. Thankfully we hadn't had a lab or group assignment yet, so I didn't have to go through the awkward process of finding a group that would inevitably be afraid of me. I didn't get the whole popularity thing and to be honest, I had no idea how i ended up in that group. I didn't fit the profile. I cared about school and my grades. I wasn't mean to people. I didn't really like to party, I just went to get away from my parents.
