Annalise

Chapter 2: Sexy Looking Guy

It was period two and I was on cloud nine. It has been 2 days since the incident. I had my favorite class right now and it was my favorite day, Friday!

A smile lingered on my face as I made my way into English class. I smiled and waved at people who exited the room and they returned the favor.

"Good morning, Mrs. Saint," I giggled.

"Good morning, angel. I mean Annalise," she smiled widely, attempting to cover up her mistake of calling me by her pet name for me.

Did I forget to mention the fact that my English teacher is also my mom? I did? My bad.

I shook my head and wagged my finger at her. She's always forgetting that she isn't suppose to call me by my nickname. Before I could voice out the embarrassment of my teacher calling me angel, Alice came and dragged me to my seat, locking her elbow with mine.

She unlocked my arm from hers shortly after, shining with a look of excitement. She quickly took her seat and banged her fist on her desk.

"Guess what!" She gushed, with a childish smile.

"What?" I asked, smiling bigger.

"I just passed the office, and a really sexy looking guy was looking for his English class, and I think..." she trails off, the sound of a door opening makes her mouth close up.

New student, huh? Awesome, it means making a new friend! If he's cute that's a plus for me.

The class quieted down as a boy barge right in, an unwelcoming scowl plastered to his face. His black hair was short and freshly trimmed, his shaven face left an outline and his teeth were perfectly aligned and white.

It was all too familiar.

"Hello, I'm sorry I'm late. It's my first day Mrs..." he said, letting my mother fill him in on her name.

"Saint, Mrs. Saint. What's your name?" She grinned, happily.

"It's Ricky Rodriguez, nice to meet you," he said, with the biggest force smile he could muster.

The class broke out into whispers. Some people even gasped at his name.

"Isn't he the gang leader of The Imperishables!" Someone whispered loudly.

"Shut up. He can probably hear you," someone replied.

"He's hot," Alice drooled.

He turned around and the smile on my face faltered as his eyes scanned the room and landed on me. Maybe he doesn't remember me? Maybe he forgot about Wednesday night. That's possible, right?

He's dangerous.

Why? Why me? Did I not pray enough? Am I getting punish for giving that hobo a dollar instead of the five I had, but lied about? I'm sorry, ok God? Now when do I wake up from this dream? I screamed internally.

I shut my eyes and leaned over to my friend's ear, "I'm dreaming right? Pinch me."

She chuckled and pinched me hard. I almost screamed as the sharp pain stung my forearm. I rubbed that area and swung my head towards her.
