Getting To Know You

Chapter 4

To say he was cute was an understatement. But, why was he staring at me? Maybe I had something in my face. Oh shit, maybe it's something stuck in my teeth. Then again, who the hell cares it's not everyday a cute guy stares at me, I might as well stare back. Boys don't have a monopoly on the staring business, you know.

Gathering every ounce of courage I had, I stared back . After a few seconds he noticed and looked at me straight in the eye. We were both caught up in a very competitive staring contest, and he didn't have to know that I always won this game when I was a kid.

I kept staring right on and I noticed his eyes were getting watery. Finally he looked down in shame, I smiled triumphantly and he laughed. Sadly, that caught Mrs. Wright's attention.

"Mr. Hemmings would you please share with us what you find so funny" Mrs. Wright said sternly, I swear she had bionic ears.

"Nothing, teacher" Mr. Hemmings replied.I had the urge to laugh right there,but I knew Mrs. Wright would kill me if I did.

Mrs. Wright opened her mouth as if to say something and then closed it again. She shook her head and continued with her lesson.

I smiled at him and he gave me wide-toothed smile. After that the bell rang and I grabbed my books and put them in my bag.

The cute boy lingered around,but after a minute he decided to talk to me.

"Hi" he spoke scratching the back of his neck.

"Well, hello Mr. Hemmings" I said a smirk on my lips.

"Yheah, you can call me Luke" He chuckled.

"Nice meeting you Luke" I said and started walking out of the classroom.

"Wait! I mean you're new here and I was thinking that maybe I could show you around or something?" He asked nervously.

"If, you tell me were you got that shirt" I smiled looking down at his All Time Low t-shirt.

"You like All Time Low?" he asked incredulously.

"More like obsessed" I replied.

We got out the classroom and Luke grabbed my schedule.

"So, you got history next with Mr. Edmond. That guy's a creep" He muttered.

I laughed and he smiled.

"I would've never guessed you liked All Time Low"

"Why?" I asked.

"You don't really seem like the type"

"Well, I like every single kind of music, and I kinda hate stereotypes"I informed him.

"Every single kind?"

"Yheah, well except Metallica" I replied. He chuckled, I was starting to really like his laugh.

"So Katherine were are you from?"

"It's Katie and I really don't know"I said looking down. Then, we finally reached a door that said "History"

"Wha-"

"Bye Luke" I said cutting him off mid-sentence and with a sigh I entered the classroom. Once again, I took a seat in the back and waited for Mr. Edmond to come in with my earphones on.

I made a mental note that I had to stay away from Luke , I knew that sooner or later I was going to have to leave him. Unlike most times, a part of me wanted to get to know him.
