When He Left.

when I saw him.

 A school day is normal for me, I'm not a complete loner but I feel lonely. I'm always laughing and smiling but I only fake it to fit in. Nothing special. I'm just like the rest. 

Its the first day of high school for my friends and I. People always say that the friends you enjoyed middle school with start parting from you once you enter high school. I hope that doesn't happen to my friends and I. I really like them. I don't know what I'll do without them. my best friend from middle school went to a different school than me. She's going to Chestatee High, while I'm going to Woodcreek high.  The sad part was that I never really got to say bye to her. It's okay though because friends come and go and I guess she wasn't meant to stay by my side. 

I'm a whole week late to school because of family issues and problems with transportation. I talked to the school early though and they said that they'll excuse it only this one time although they sounded annoyed over the phone; what a great way to introduce yourself to the school at first meet. When I walk in High school for the first time a huge feeling suddenly takes over me, I can't really describe this feeling because I never experienced this feeling before. I ignore it though, just like I ignore all my other feelings. I look at my schedule and I'm already lost. This building has three floors. two more floors than middle school and frankly speaking that means more exercise... great. I decide to go to the library first and get lost later. As I walk in I see that the library has two floors. It even as stairs like the ones in fairy stories. I smile to myself as I walk up the stairs of the library. I find an empty table so I walk over and sit down. I plug in my headphones and blast my music. I don't really care if others can hear my music; it's not like I'm listening to Katy Perry. It's only been a few moments until I'm bothered. I look up and see a black haired boy with a strong jawline. I like jawlines so I decide to listen to what he has to say. 

"this is where I usually sit ma'ma" oouu manners

"so?" I tell him with a smile.

He smirks and says "your right, I never even introduced myself. My name is Alexander Cruz but u can call me Alex" he says with a smile. As he smiles I can see that he also has dimples. What genes did his parents inherit? 

I smile back at him, "Arlette" I say "My name is Arlette Perez"
He gives me a smile and asks to sit with me. I tell him sure. I go back to listening to my music. I feel him staring at me. I start debating with myself whether I should look up and smart talk him or not do anything at all; I was about to make up my mind until he interrupts me.

"how come I've never seen you around here?'

What an oblivious question, "Well for one, this is a 3 story building and there is a very slim chance that you'll see everyone that goes to this school, let alone, one person like yourself"

He smirks. He must like torturing me. "you like to speak your mind out, don't you?"

"No, not really. You asked me a question and I simply answered it."I smiled at him.

He laughs. Something about his laugh catches my attention. It sounds different, more... unique. it doesn't sound forced out. I can feel myself blushing. umm,... excuse me Janeth why are you blushing; You cannot fall for a guy you just met. All you know about this guy is his name. For all You know he can be a serial killer and you can be his next victim. I repeat, DO. NOT. FALL. FOR. HIM. 

"Are you okay?"

"Uhh yeah, why?"

"well, you looked like u were just staring off into space. Am I that boring?" oh trust me, you catch my attention 100 percent. 

"I guess you are."

"ouch, then I guess I have to try harder huh?"

you already catch my attention, cant you tell by the way I'm looking at you? "well, maybe you do"

"haha, thats a bet." he tells me while smiling. jeez, that smile will be the death of me someday. 

"well to be honest, the real reason you haven't seen me around is because I missed a whole week of school, already, yes i know and well I know I should be looking for my classes but I decided to sit down and listen to my music for now and get lost later.... ya feel?"

He smirks laughs at me, god is that even a thing. How is he capable of these things.

"well you know you could have just asked me from the beginning for help."

"well for all I know you can kidnap me and no one would know where to find me"

"Oh come on do I look like the type to do such a thing?" no, you don't.

"no actually your right, You can actually murder me." 

"I'll murder you with love and happiness, yes."

fuckkk, I'm blushing again. how can this guy control me so easily? I bet he's not even trying. 

"haha... stop joking and help me like you said you would"

"how do you know I was joking though?  Maybe I meant it"

"ok ok, stop playing" I hand him my schedule. He scans through it 

"your taking Japanese as a class?"

"yes, I find their culture fascinating and plan on going someday. " I say with a smile. 

"sounds like you have your life planned out don't you?

I think about it for a while. He is kind of right. "yeah, I guess I do"

He stands up from his chair. "well, let me guide you through high school." for some reason that made my heart flutter a little. I stand up from my chair and he gives me a smile. He pushes my chair in for me. oouu manners, again. I mean I think it is right? I cant think around him for some reason; especially when he smiles at me. 

As we start walking, I notice some girls start looking at me. they weren't looking at me before. is it because I'm with Alex? I turn to look at him and he notices the change of look in my expression. He gives me a smile and for some reason, I felt better. Gosh, that darn smile 

(( oof here is the second part! I'm sorry if you don't like it :'( I'm tired from work and school and all this stress. I really did put the effort in this book. I hope you enjoyed it though! ))
