Eloquent Silence

Eloquent Silence - Chapter 2

~~~~~~~~~~~~CHAPTER TWO~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Whoah shit!" I had done it again. I had tripped over the electrical wiring running along the floor as I hurtled into the classroom at high speed. I always managed to trip over those wires.

"Entering the room in style" someone commented drily. The class started to snigger. I whirled around, glaring daggers in the direction that the remark had come from.

"That's me, fast and loose", I snapped back. A new guy sat back in his chair, his eyes met mine confidently and a smirk lingered on his lips.

I decided then that I did not like this guy. He had shocking electric blue eyes, pale skin and dark spiky hair, which I had no doubt had been gelled that way.

"Just sit down and be quiet" the teacher ordered, sending a withering look in my direction. I quickly sat down and bowed my head sheepishly. I replayed the scene in my mind.

I had the strangest feeling that I'd heard his voice before. My mind was whirring trying to figure it out.

Abruptly, I felt sick again; it couldn't be! His voice was one of the voices I had heard at least a month earlier when the orb had first come to me.

I peeked out from behind my mass of hair at the dark haired guy, and stared with opened-mouth incredulity. He had been watching me the whole time and he now raised an eyebrow at me.

"What?" he whispered. My eyes widened in shock; his voice had resonated in my head. Instantaneously a pen zoomed through the air and smashed into his head. He turned around to look at the person who had thrown it.

I smirked, despite myself, even though I was still alarmed at his voice sounding in my head. My thoughts were almost audible I was thinking them so hard.

"Aw we wouldn't want to ruin your overly gelled hair now would we, pretty boy?"

He looked back over at me. His eyes had widened in surprise then narrowed in indignation at my thoughts. I swivelled back in my seat to face the front of the class, stunned.

He had heard my thoughts somehow. I certainly did not speak them aloud, otherwise someone else would have noticed. Seconds after I had turned, a paper aeroplane landed with uncanny precision on my desk. I reached over and unfolded the aeroplane.

Don't take what that jerk said at the start of the lesson personally. He's just like that, believe me. I have lived with it my whole life :)

I looked behind me. When my eyes met the eyes of the boy behind me, they widened considerably and my jaw hit the floor.

He was new too and obviously came to this school with the dark haired guy. My breath hitched in my throat and my heart pounded at my chest faster and faster until it finally took of at 100km an hour.

He quite literally put the taking in breathtaking and the sex in sexy. I swear to God that if you looked up the words perfect and gorgeous, a picture of him would be staring right back at you.

And if I was already haven't trouble breathing, he decided to finish me off by grinning at me, displaying his straight, white, perfect teeth. I had the faintest recollection of having met him before.

His smile was sexy, captivating and irresistible, toying with the edges of his full, rosy lips, the kind of lips most girls would die to kiss (me being of no exception to that...).

His eyes were stunning emerald in colour and bordered by thick, dark lashes. And he was absolutely crackling with virility.

His gin broadened slowly upon realising that I was not able to utter a single word. Unlike normal, I couldn't think of anything to say.

"Hey, Amber isn't it? Do I render you speechless?" his voice was god-like and deep, with a hint of amusement lining it, almost topping his looks. I had to say something and make it good.

"Nope!" i bubbled, popping the p, "if you knew anything more about me, other than my name, you will know that I am never speechless." I winked at him,

"And yes, right first time, which puts me at a disadvantage. What's your name?" Ahh words! I spoke some! Not the best I had ever come up with but they were good enough.

He cocked his eyebrow at me, "Why don't you take a guess? I'm sure a clever girl like you could figure it out."

Whatever I had been expecting, it was not that, but I've learnt over the years to just roll with it.

Shocking myself by my boldness (I'd never usually been one to flirt so obviously but I'd watched my friend Skye for long enough that I'd picked up flirty moves), I leaned over to his desk, curving my back as sexily as i could manage, which allowed a sliver of my skin to show, and leaned down low enough to give a glimpse of just what was under my v-neck top.

His jaw clenched sexily as a result and his adam's apple bobbed up and down. Smirking slightly to myself in satisfaction, I slid my fingers slowly down the desk until I found his worksheet.

Not at all to my surprise, his name was written at the top of the page.

Dante. His name was Dante.

I raised my eyebrow in return, "No surprises here - one hell of a name" I paused dramatically, "for a sexy boy" I finished, whispering then winked at him and held his eyes steady with mine.

I saw a smirk play at his lips, and, satisfied that I had a positive outcome, I turned back to face the front of the class.

I felt a smile tug at the corners of my mouth. And because I thought that actually doing it would look ridiculous, I settled for an inside victory dance.

My work here is done.
