What He Really Was

Chapter 1

Ebony's POV

My mind was clouded, my palms were sweating profusely. I walked aimlessly forward, hoping to find what I was looking for...

Crash!

I fell to the hard, concrete floor. Something squishy and almost human-like caught me, only a second too late. Opening my eyes, I gasped in shock.
Omg it was another human and he was absolutely gorgeous. His black hair swept over his pale skin. My eyes were fixed on his heart-shaped lips and I had an instant urge to feel them on mine
"Take a picture, it'll last longer" his arrogant yet perfect voice said with a hint of annoyance and frustration.
I instantly jumped to my feet, apologies were tumbling out of my mouth.
He started walking away
"Wait! What's your name?" I asked hopefully.
But he was gone.

I had finally found it, room G107. I knocked lightly on the grey, wooden door and walked in, the entire class turned and stared at me. I could hear them talking about me already...
"Excuse me, I am a new student here. My name is Ebony Dolten."
"Hello Ebony I'm Miss Taylor, please come in and take a seat," She scanned the room, "There is a spare spot next to Kyungsoo"
I looked around the room and saw him.
No
It can't be
Kyungsoo is the guy I crashed into.

My entire body froze solid and my vision clouded. For some reason, I was completely terrified of him. Quickly, I sat down.
"Um, hi. We met earlier, I'm Ebony."
"I don't give a damn about who you are,"
Well that hurt a lot.... but why did it?
I couldn't comprehend why
I didn't even know him.
Kyungsoo's dark brown eyes were focused on the board, he had his black headphones in and music was blasting out. I winced at how loud it was.
I had zoned out again, something about him made my body fill with butterflies.
"Miss Dolten could you please give an introduction?"
"Um sure, hey everyone. My name is Ebony and I'm 16 years old. I moved here because ummm... my family was in a car accident... I lost my parents and older brother two months ago. That's about it I guess."
"Oh well we are sorry to hear that."
Suddenly the bell blasted, I walked out and went to my next class.
~~~
I opened the door
"I'm home" I said out loud quite loudly.
Nothing but silence and darkness greeted me. I should be used to it by now... it had been two months... but I wasn't. A single tear escaped from my green eye, I felt it roll down my cheek and drip of my face. Breathing deeply I tried thinking of anything else then my family...
The first day at Riverdale High went by like a blur, a clouded, surreal blur. I saw Kyungsoo throughout the day... but got nothing then a dirty look from him. For some reason, I felt a need to make him like me... I knew that wouldn't happen but I can dream right?
Sitting down with a sigh, I started focusing on my homework from today.

Half way into my trigonometry homework and I was distracted again. Ebony get a grip on yourself. He's just a guy... but he's a hot guy
No
I found myself once again mesmerised with his thick Korean accent and gorgeous cheekbones.
What was happening to me?

Kyungsoo POV

Jeez I hate this school. Why are there so many idiots here? Ugggghhh.
I walked forward, not really looking where I was going. Some dumbass called out to me but I ignored it

Crash!

I was tackled to the ground, instantly looking to see the person I was about to kill. Wait what?

1. It's a girl
2. I've never seen her in my life

What was her problem? And why the hell was she staring at me? My eyes narrowed as my patience slowly ran out
"Take a picture, it'll last longer." I said a little too harshly.
She instantly got up and started apologising, I pushed her out of my way and walked forward.
"Wait! What's your name?" I heard her yell out from behind me. I didn't look back or say anything. I just kept walking.
For some reason, my mind was clouded and I felt a weird pain in my heart. I was drawn to something about that girl, she felt... different.
"Kyungsoo you are just being stupid. Don't you remembered what happened to the last girl?" A female's smug voice chimed in my mind
"Bu-" I started before getting cut off
"No, no buts. Unless you want that bitch dead I suggest you stay away and forget her."
I knew there was no point in fighting after seven years of trying.
"Yes Abigail..."
Then she was gone, as quickly as she came.

***
I spent my roll class like most mornings, wondering how some people could judge another person without actually knowing them... without knowing what goes on in their heads...
An angelic voice interrupted my thoughts
"Um, hi. We met earlier, I'm Ebony."
Abigail's warning replayed in my mind and fear washed through me.
"I don't give a damn about who you are,"
A look of pain spread over her face and I instantly regretted it. I hated myself. I hated how weak I am and how much she can control my life.
