-Chapter 3-

The school was packed by the time we got there. The first day of school, fun! Note the sarcasm.

Haze drove the car into the school grounds to park at the spaces provided but it seemed like he was driving a little too fast in here for my comfort. He could hit someone if he wasn’t careful.

When his car is turned off we sit in silence until I can’t take it anymore and finally say something. “Why are we just sitting here?”

Haze shrugs, “I never asked you to stay here with me.”

A blush creeps its way up my neck. Before he can notice I push the door open and step out into the noise of the crowds of greeting friends.

Girls hug and squawk about what they did in the holidays while boys slap and tease each other. I spot my friends almost instantly by the door and weave my way towards them. A few people push and shove against me but my body is small enough to slide around most people.

When I reach them Archie, a lean brown haired and eyed boy wraps an arm around my shoulder, a curious look on his face. “Who did you get a ride with? Because I know for a fact that your parents wouldn’t buy you a car like that.”

I’m about to answer but there’s no need to when the driver’s side opens and Haze steps out. It’s as though the whole world goes quiet when he makes an appearance. Everyone stares at him with a sense of awe and I roll my eyes at the sight. If they really know that he’s really a sneaky little brat they wouldn’t be doing that.

Some girls fan themselves and others swoon and practically throw themselves at his feet. He doesn’t pay them any attention; his deep green eyes are instead locked on me intently.

Maya, another one of my friends, leans closely to my ear. “Is he looking at you?” She whispers, not so quietly.

Maya’s twin, Harley Jones replies with a nod before I can, “Indeed, dear sister, he is.”

Archie, Maya and Harley form a small circle while they try to sift through ideas of why I got a ride with the most popular and gorgeous boy at school, and why he’s looking at me.

“He could be an alien.” One of them says.

“Or a vampire and brainwashed him into getting into his car.” Another adds.

My neck and ears practically glow red as I notice Haze standing behind, looking at them all with mild amusement. I grab Maya’s hand and squeeze it tightly. She glances at me for just a second but it’s more than enough time to see my skin a burning red.

She follows the direction of my eyes and catches sight of Haze. A smirk hanging from his face. Her mouth falls open and she moves quietly back next to me. Archie and Harley continue for a minute longer before they notice that Maya’s no longer in their small circle.

Both of them look up at the same time to the sight of an amused Haze. The look on their faces as they jump back is something I will never forget.

“U-h-w-h-s.” They stutter unrecognizable words.

I laugh at them and they both shoot me a glare. Haze takes that as his chance to leave and quickly moves through the school doors.

Archie and Harley both look back where he was just standing and are shocked to find him no longer there. “Meet Haze Drumming.” I say with exaggeration.

I collect my time table from the front office and look it over. I feel a presence beside me before the sheet is snatched from my hands.
