I walk into the science lab, breathless from sprinting. I was about 5 minutes late and I'm worried I'm going to give the supply teacher a bad, first impression.

I take a deep breath and twist the knob. Heads turn toward me and eyes stare.

"Hello...um," the supply teacher starts.

She looked about 50 and had brown, greying, wavy hair. Anyone who didn't know she was a supply teacher, would've thought she worked at a community garden.

"Mercy. Mercy Heisenberg." I finish off.

"Welcome, Mercy. I'm Mrs. Haines and you..." she pauses, "...are late."

Mrs. Haines gives me glare and writes me a hall pass. Then she motions me to go to the office to get a late slip.

Sighing, I do as she said and make my way back to the hallway, shutting the door behind me. What was the point of this? I'm just going to be more late when I come back.

Minutes later, I'm walking towards the entrance of office when I bump into someone who was making their way out.

"I'm sorry," I apologize to the stranger without looking up. But the stranger doesn't move out of the way, instead I get a low, raspy laugh as an answer.

It sounded so familiar... I snap my head up in realization as I was face to face... AGAIN... with Roman. He was holding a baseball cap and a paper in hand. I'm guessing he got caught. I pretended I didn't realize him and take a step back to let him through.

He didn't move.

"Excuse me?" I asked, "Can I get through?"

"Sorry, no you can't." He replies.

The secretary behind the desk glances between us, listening to our odd conversation.

"Roman, let Mercy through or your suspension will extend another day," she demands.

Rolling his eyes, Roman moves out of the way.

"I guess I'll see you later," he says, "Mercy."

Now he's making me regret wanting him to know my name. I secret wish he didn't.

The secretary gives me an odd look. I knew exactly what that look meant.

"No, I don't know him. He's not a friend. I don't even know what just happened," I reply to her unasked question.

I grab my late slip then make my way back to class.

———————————————————————

I open the door to lab, apologize to the substitute teacher, then make my way into the class. I glace around the room, searching for a seat when my eye catches something.

There was an empty seat in the back of the classroom only, someone was seating beside it. Someone I didn't recognize nor I ever seen in this school.

He was taking notes from what the teacher was writing. The dude had black hair that was swept up and was wearing a black flannel with black skinny jeans. He was hot. Seriously, really hot.

And I... was staring.
