Judd Birch and me

Green Eyed Boy

Its tough enough being the new kid. Let alone in sophomore year. Everyone has already established who they are and who theyre friends are.
" I have someone who will show you around," the principal tells me "She will be here any minute."

A blonde hair blue eyed girl walks into the room. Shes wearing a white crop top and a long skirt.
"This is Leah, she is in most of your classes, she will show you the ropes"
Leah smiles at me "Well come on, dont want to be late for class."
As we walk down the hallway, I feel the eyes of students on me and whispers erupt as the new girl walks past. Leah ignores them and chats to me about the lockers and timetables and what not.
".... and dont forget to..."
"Hey." A lanky boy in a beanie and a striped shirt interrupts her. She looks annoyed.
"What Daniel?!"
"Whose your hot friend?"
"None of your fucking business, Daniel." She says as she pushes past him.
"Wow," I giggle "what did he do to deserve that beating?"
Shes rolls her eyes and smiles. "Daniels an idiot and a total head pusher. Dont go near him at parties." She pauses. "Actually, theres a party at mine on Friday and you should totally come."
"Oh sure, sounds good" I try to hide my excitement, already invited to a party and its not even lunch?! Maybe being a new kid isnt so bad after all.
Leah drops me off at my class and I manage to find my way around until lunch. In the Cafeteria, Leah calls me over and introduces me to her theatre friends. Theyre all great and we quickly become friends. Everyone is excited for the party on Friday, even I am starting to feel excited and am glad to be fitting in.
The rest of the week goes fast. On Friday Tallulah and I help Leah plan for the party.
Before we know it the house is full of people. After refilling the drinks, I head out to find Leah. The house is packed full of a mixture of Leahs theatre kids that I know from school as well as many others i had never seen before. The two Bilzerian boys were playing spin the bottle in a circle predominately made up of girls. A boy who calls himself the party wolf is feeding underage kids some sort of brandy and Leahs younger brother seems to be talking to himself. I wade through the crowd of drunk teens when someone shoves into me from behind, he pushes past me and keeps walking.
"Hey!" I shout.
He says nothing except by putting the finger up at me whilst clutching onto a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Odd. His eyes were electric green and seemed to stare right at me. Although so did everyone else these days.
The next few hours were uneventful. I mingled and danced and hung out with Leah and her friends.
We sat in the lounge room and gossiped about which boys were the most eligible in our year.
"Who do you think is the cutest?!" Tallulah asked me with a smirk.
I could feel myself blush even though I wasnt sure why.
"Oh, I dont know. I dont think ive been here long enough to notice!" I chuckle, but as i look up i feel eyes on me from across the room. The green eyed boy from before is looking, staring, right at me. My heart beat begins to quicken as i feel the pressure of him looking at me. A tingling burning sensation takes over my stomach. He is scary as hell, but i kind of like it. I feel my face begin to burn up. We lock eyes for what feels like an eternity until Leah knocks me out of it.
"Weeeellll... I heard Kurt thinks youre super cute!" The girls break into giggles and I blush. I look up again, but the boy is no where to be seen.

A couple hours later the drinks seem to be getting low.
"Hey! Do mind getting more blue vodka for the punch? I know theres some in the closest of the first room, to the left, upstairs?"
"Sure!" I answer Leah excitedly, im a very nosy person and have been dying to explore the house ever since i got here. But I didnt want to seem creepy.
I go up the stairs dodging the drunk people and horny couples. And enter the first room on the right. Its dark. Real dark. And it doesnt look like somewhere where you would keep alcohol. Its a bedroom. A big black bed stands in the middle. A desk and shelves stand opposite filled with all sorts of things knives, slingshots, a bowling ball, millions of cds and what looks like racoon feed? On the desk is a stack of paper held together on the side with twine, its well loved and falling apart, i can vaguely make out the word "manisfesto" on the front. The room is messy but i make my way to the closest. I open it and see a blue bottle of what looks like vodka. I grab the bottle and continue to inspect the shelves.
"What are you doing?!" A low raspy voice startles me from the entrance. I whip around only to see the green eyed boy from before. Staring at me.
"Could ask you the same thing. I came to get Leah the vodka she wanted."
The boy stands in the entrance leaned up against the door frame. With his arms crossed across his chest
his muscles are on display. His black tshirt clings tightly around him. He looks almost amused.
"Oh, did she. So my gay ass
sister is queen of the house now."
Oh crap.
"Your s-sister? I didnt know Leah had a brother."
"Well yeah shes does. His name is Judd and youre in his room."
"Yeah, well, quite a room you got here" I say looking around. Judd starts to walk towards me.
"New girl, right?" He reaches out to take the vodka out of my hand but I pull back.
"Yes"
He looks at me with those green eyes and my heart is set at full pace.
"Give me the bottle, newbie"
He holds out his hand.
"No, its for Leah."
"Give it to me."
He steps closer, staring right into me.
"Im not afraid of you" I lie.
He smirks and his eyes sparkle, he steps forward as he lowers his deep voice.
"Well maybe you should be."
He playfully lunges for the bottle but I dodge him. I head for the door but he grabs my arm just in time pulling me towards him and pinning me onto the bed. His hands hold my arms above my head like theyre nothing, his body pressed up against mine. His sparkling eyes look into mine. Just inches apart. Heart pounding.
"You cant take that" he says, almost in a whisper. His lips are so close to mine but for some reason I kinda like it.
"Why not"
"Its not vodka, its water for the racoons in a old bottle."
He smiles at me, amused. He pulls away slightly as I look at him shocked, before bursting into laughter.
"Why the fuck, do you have racoon water in your closest."
He smiles and lets me go. "Something im working on for my numbnuts brother. None of your business"
He helps me up, the touch of his hand on mine sends a little electric shock through my body. "Ill show you where the vodka is"
He takes me into the room on the left, the one I should have gone into, and hands me the correct bottle.
I close the cupboard door to thank him but he was gone.

"Oh my God, what took you so long?" Leah says whilst fake rolling her eyes as
I gave her the bottle.
The rest of the party was fun but to be honest I had lost interest. I was too busy thinking about the boy with the green eyes.
