   i stared down at my math textbook sitting on the table in front of me. my light brown hair fell in my face and i frowned, tucking it behind my ear for what seemed to be the millionth time.
i glanced up as i heard the library door open and i watched a guy i've never seen before walk in. he had dark brown hair that was messed up, probably from running his hand through it. he wore a black t shirt and had his backpack hanging on one of his shoulders.
he glanced at me, his dark green eyes were dull. when our eyes met, i instantly brought mine down, looking again at the text book laying in front of me. from the corner of my eye i saw him sit down at a table a few feet away from me. he ran his hand through his disheveled hair and glanced at me again.
this time, his eyes lingered as he studied me. i looked down, feeling his gaze on me. finally, he turned away and pulled out his own textbook before starting his homework.
