His dark hair was blowing softly in the slight breeze that was coming from down the school corridor, his black boots were walking at a pace that sounded like a heartbeat, his jeans hanging slightly off his waist with a belt that was worn and threaded. His shirt was a button kind with his bottom and top button open, it was tightly fitted on his chest showing off his perfect physique. A slight smirk rose on his face when he caught sight of me. I froze, I realised I was staring but couldn't look away! I could feel that my mouth was wide open but just couldn't bring myself to close it. "What was wrong with me?"

"Snap!" My friend Leona clicked her fingers in front of my face. "Hello? Earth to kayt? And close your mouth?" She stated almost in a whispering tone.

I immediately looked at her and realised what an idiot I must have looked like. I opened my locker and put the majority of books inside as quickly as possible. "Sorry lee I just can't help it, I didn't even realise I was staring? Do you think he saw me?" I stated almost panic in my voice.

At that moment Just as I was closing the door to my locker I heard a breathy "yep" in my ear and turned round so quickly my round glasses nearly fell off my face. I focused at the dark eyes directly in front of me and felt my face flush a beet root red.

"Don't worry though sugar lips, I won't blame you I mean I'm just irresistible!" Ryan stated matter of factly.

I could of crawled in a hole there and then if it wasn't for the sound of the school bell that had me running for my first class of the day.

"Saved by the bell" I thought "thank goodness"

Myself and Leona ran to our first lesson of the term "double maths! Can this day get any worse?" I said scowling at my lesson planner "What could be worse than being caught drooling over the hottest guy in school?" Leona said smugly. "He did speak to you though? I'm surprised that you didn't pass out there and then?"

I gave her that look peering over the tops of my glasses. "What's the matter? Jealous?" I said with a slight smile on my face. At that comment we both giggled.

Leona and I had a friendship that went way back. We had grown up together. Our mums were great friends through work and had ended up falling pregnant at around the same time. There was only a few days between Leona and I. She was older though. And she never let me forget it! We had been inseprable since birth really? We were planning on leaving school and going to the same college. We had applied for all of the same ones and we both deserved any one of our choices. Both myself and Leona prided ourselves on our schoolwork. Most people at school ignored us which we liked as we didn't really need any other friends. I guess you could call us geeks or nerds? I liked to think of us as swats? Maths was Leona's favourite subject, I didn't mind it at all but when I knew mr Stevenson was teaching it I knew I would be bored! He was one of those teachers that had a monotone to his voice, there was just no get up and go about him? His trousers were far too high up his waist and he always wore suits from the 1970's. I'm no fashion expert but I know that tweed is definitely not his colour! He likes to just observe his c lass as apposed to teach. Normally there will be a lot of sums and theory's written all over the chalk board and we would have approximately 2 minutes to solve the problem before wiping the board clean ready for the next question. His teeth were stained and if you didn't speak loud enough in his class weren't listening or generally didn't know the answer then you could smell his breath before he even got to you. Stale cigarettes and coffee are not a great combination.

"Seats, now!" Mr Stevenson boomed. "Pens and paper on hold. We are going to start this final year as we mean to go on! Remember no talking or questions until the end of class! Got it?" Nobody spoke for fear of being breathed on. "Excellent! Right there are 20 problems on the board, you will have 1minute to solve each one before being erased and I shall continue to write on the board until the end of class!"

I quickly sat at the front of the room with Leona at my side. "Ahh Mr Black, so glad you could make it! Please sit down!"mr Stevenson said

My eyes shot to the door! There he was the perfect specimen of a man that I got caught staring at a few moments ago, Ryan Black. His eyes met mine and he came walking towards me I quickly turned my head to my desk and could feel myself getting flustered again.

"Blushing suits you! It brings out the colour in your eyes!" Said Ryan. He was sat at the empty desk next to mine? Why? There were plenty of tables and chairs? Why was he trying to humiliate me? I tried not to think about it too much. I got on with the task set in front of me all the while trying hard not to fidget too much in my chair or draw any more attention to myself. I was trying my best as well not to sneak any glances his way. But it seemed everytime I did he was smirking at me! Was it funny too him? Probably? He was really getting some kicks out of my humiliation.

Ryan black was every girls dream, he was good looking, he had style, money, loving parents but there was also a dark mystery to him. I wanted to get to know him better but I would never be someone that he noticed The bell rang for our next lesson, Spanish, I sat down at my desk in mrs lupine's class and she closed the door, I instantly knew I was safe and as far away from Ryan as possible.

The rest of the day went by in a blur, lunch was pretty much the same as it was before school was out for summer. Leona and I sat in our usual spot inside the canteen. Nobody ever joined us we were social outcasts. The rest of our lessons we were on the same classes for. We got a load of homework. I couldn't believe they would give us this much for our first day back. I suppose it was our final year? Our final exams felt like a long while away but I knew that they would creep up on us before we knew it?

The final bell rang. I walked to my locker, grabbed all of my things and walked outside. The warm breeze felt good. We had had a good summer so September was still fairly warm outside. My mum picked Leona and I up on Mondays as she finished work early, and her yoga class and our dance class were in the same building on the way so it was easier.

Leona and I had been dancing since we were three years old. We had entered so many different competitions throughout the years and in all honesty we were good. I never let it affect my school work though as I was a straight A student and as much as I loved dancing to me it was just a fun way of keeping fit. I wanted to progress in my education and become a lawyer. I had always wanted that. Leona felt the same, except she wanted to go into property, and look at having her own business and managing different properties and buildings, just like her dad. She was lucky though as her dad ran his own company and had offered her an apprentiship once school was over.

Leona and I got out of the car and ran towards the changing rooms. There was a bit of traffic on the way and we didn't want to be too late.

"Hey watch where your going!" A Familiar voice stopped us in our tracks. I looked straight in front of me and there he was "Ryan?"
