WHEN BREATH BECOMES AIR

Part Four

Life is a gift, wake up and realize it every day

Everything was just fine as it could be. The first class was of history and only I know how much I love it. Most of the students were chirping like birds and some were squeaking like mice. I stopped the voices to get into my so-called head. I quickly sat on my seat and took out my drawing pad and started to doodle.

Miss. Snow entered the room and everyone was quite. At last. Miss. Snow noticed me and asked me to take down my hood. I refused. It's not like that I can't live without my hoodie but I don't like it when people point out my heterochromatic hair. Plus it gives me a mysterious personality.

Since Miss. Snow wasn't a strict teacher she nodded and turned back to teach.

Just then an unknown figure entered the classroom. I looked at him. Never seen that guy before, Must be a transfer student I thought and continued to doodle. Since the seat beside me was empty because Mia somehow forgot to bring herself school.

So that new guy now sat beside me with the widest grin I had ever seen. He opened his mouth and said, "Hello, I am Theo". I looked at him and found he was heterochromatic too but only his eyes were of different colors. One light shade of blue and another light shade of green. Somehow for the first time in ten thousand years, I felt myself getting attracted to someone.
Get that thought out your head Lilliane
Said my inner self to me...

I ignored him and continued with my doodling.

The corner of his mouth which was up once dropped forming a frown.

Just then Miss. Snow came and asked this new student who calls himself Theo, " Ah, you must be the transfer student, Theo. You must come and introduce yourself to the class. "

He stood up and scratched the back of his neck nervously. He then went in the front and began his intro, " um... Hey guys and girls..."

I took my hood off to have a better look at him as he continued but his eyes never left mine and he shot the biggest million-dollar smile. I could feel my head burn with the laser glare of the girls in my grade.

"... As she said I am Theo, Theo Martin and I am a transfer student from Everly High. I am an athlete... Blah blah blah." I stopped listening as soon as he said "I am an athlete."

I gave a small grin because I knew I had a new rival to take care of...

THEO'S POV
As soon as I stood in front of the class I found half of the girls staring at me.

Jeez, they were looking at me like I was the last pair of high heels in the mall.

But what caught my eyes was her, god she was so beautiful
Her unkempt beauty was hypnotic
The entrancing wilderness of an uninhibited being
Her raw essence sung to me as the
An ever-elusive siren sings to men;
Calling me... Tempting me
I knew she would never belong to me
Never be home but she was the dream
That I did never stopped chasing
The only thing in this world I would stay nameless for...

She was so perfect, her heterochromatic hair, with shades of brown, dark blonde and black and those timber brown eyes...

I shot the biggest smile I could and noticed a faint pink blush on her cheeks. I was giving my intro but she stopped paying attention and gave a small yet enchanting evil smile when I said, I am an athlete. Did I say something wrong? I wonder.
