And Then I Met You (J.G.)

2. Meeting Jack Gilinsky

Chapter 2

You turn the corner and instantly feel lost. People are everywhere crowding the narrow but tall hallway. You take a deep breath and get ready to confront the sea of people ahead. You push your way through, determined to get to your first period class on time. As your body brushes against everyone else's, you can't help but notice the abundance of cute guys. You got a few smiles and you weren't sure why. Your friends were always telling you how pretty you were and how you could have any guy you wanted but you just though they were being good friends. Your all the way through the crowd and room 203 is right ahead of you. You look down at the map of your school you've been clutching ever since you walked through the front doors. As your trying to make sure you're at the right classroom, you run right into someone.
"Excuse me," a modulated voice says in front of you.
"Oh no that was all my-" you look up from the map only to see the most breathtaking guy you've ever seen. He looked at you with a look of confusion which caused your face to copy. Then you realize you never finished your sentence.
"Sorry." Was all you could mutter. You'd never felt so awestruck by anyone before and you started feeling nervous.
"No it's cool. It was my fault I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going and I've been looking for this classroom for awhile. I haven't been I'm this part of school that often so...yeah sorry." He reached his hand to rub the back of his neck. He hadn't taken his eyes off of you since you started talking. Your eyes were wandering everywhere and you felt your face getting hot. He looked nervous too. "Wait, I've never seen you around her before. Are you new?"
"Actually yeah I moved schools this year." I say hoping he isn't the type of guy to ask a thousand questions. The less he knows about my past at Chenley High, the better.
"Well I have to get to class. I don't want to be late on the first day." You say with a smile.
"Okay well I hope I'll see you around...? Sorry i don't think I got your name"
"Oh! It's Olivia."
"Okay. See you around Olivia." He turns to walk away giving you a better look at his magnificent jaw line and stunning side profile.
"Wait!" He turns back around. Damn he was hot. "You didn't tell me your name." You say feeling your face get hot again.
"Oh sorry, yeah." He takes a few steps toward you and his face is just inches away. Your eyes cover every inch of it. You see his dark eyebrows, his cleft chin, his perfect lips. He could be a model or famous or something. You also notice his tired eyes, and the pimple on his chin. Even with his flaws, he still looks perfect. You wonder if anyone has ever thought that about you and why you've never thought that about any other guy before.
"It's Jack. Jack Gilinsky."
