Dream Walkers

14. Familiar Strangers Part 1:

His tight mustard yellow v-neck clinged against his ripped body while he lazily laid against his side, overlooking the football field. The gloss of his dark gelled hair held my attention while walking closer towards him.

I slowly walked closer pulling on the hem of my short crop top hoping by any miracle that the fabric will grow covering all the goosebumps forming.

"Aren't you a familiar stranger?" I asked coming up next to him while keeping my eyes on the match. His head slowly turned towards me before his eyes widened.

"Alex." He said surprised. "Hey." I smiled seeing him turning towards me."Hi." He said looking back to the football game and then back towards me. "So, you enjoying the game?" I asked trying to avoid any awkward silence.

"Uhm yeah kind of." He slightly smiled scratching the back of his neck. "And you?" He added.

"To be honest, Logan?" I asked slowly walking closer toward him. His fresh shower sent was overpowering, making me almost sure you could smell him a mile away.

His piercing blue eyes eagerly darted between mine waiting for an answer.

"I don't really care for football." I widened my eyes shaking my head side to side. Logan let out a snorting laugh, before finding his words once again. "You could of fooled me." He smirked looking towards my Wild Dog shirt.

"I hope I haven't offended you." I said realizing he might be a huge fan.

"No, not at all." He smiled exposing his perfect teeth.

If I didn't know better, I could of swear that he was a character out of a fairytale. His perfection was unbelievable.

I smiled feeling a bit more comfortable around him. From a distance he seems intimidating, and I know I only met him once before but he seems quite nice.

"So I haven't seen you around school before?" I said forcing it into a question. "Uhm yeah." He said looking towards his side and back. "I finished last year."

  Why would he keep hanging around here? I mean like, everyone I met here want to leave this place as fast as possible.

A loud horn interrupted making both our heads whip to the crowds. The cheers thundered as people gathered on the field, celebrating.

"I should go!" I yelled through the noise indicating towards the field. He gave a quick nod before I walked off in search of Jess and Stacy.

Through the chaos I twisted between the crowd of people, hoping to see a familiar face.

"Alex!" Jess yelled running towards me. She came to a jump halt infront of me grabbing onto my shoulders.

"We won! We won for the first time in -Forever!" Her excitement grew when she saw Jackson , which made her totally forget about me sending her running towards him.

A little disorientated from the noise, I lift my head towards the bright score board.

He made it.

After the match Stacy drove us home to get our jackets and freshen up a bit before coming to the party, that was surprisingly close to Olive Oak. It was only ten when we arrived, but the party was already in full throttle.
