♡Your beauty caught my attention but your personality stole my heart♡

I sat down on the last seat as usual and rummaged through my bag for my history homework. I silently cursed under my breath when I couldn't find it.

I sighed and pushed my hair back before searching for it again. The bell rang and everybody settled in their seats. I finally gave up trying to look for it and leaned back in my seat.

I opened the back of my notebook and doodled. I shook my pen to make it work. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a black and blue blur of a head near the doorway.

I didn't give myself the trouble of raising my head to look at who it was.

"You're late.",Jamie said.

"Sorry.",he called out. His voice and accent nudged my curiosity. I raised my head to look at him.

He had his backpack slung over one shoulder. He had coal black hair and piercing blue eyes. His eyes scanned for a seat. He finally spotted an empty seat next to me and settled down.

My eyes followed him until he had settled down. I abruptly stopped doodling. He noticed me staring and passed me a crooked grin and small wave.

I turned my head back towards my book and started scribbling again. My pen glided over the page, drawing smooth curves and shapes.

"That's nice work.",he said in a slow and deliberate British accent.

I turned towards him. He still had a smile on his face. I smiled back at him slowly.

"Thanks.",I whispered.

"I'm Caspian.",he said.

Damn, his name sounded royal.

"Amy. Nice to meet you.",I said.

I usually didn't talk much to people but I was okay with talking to him. He seemed like an easygoing person.

"So for your next history assignment, you can choose partners.",Jamie said, only the word 'partner' of which I heard.

I looked around as everyone made a wild grab at their current favourite person in the room.

It was moments like these that I badly missed Melody. If she had been here, she would have a cracked a joke or two and then would've set a time for us to meet up at either of our houses.

I looked around as best friends linked their arms together, laughing as they discussed their topic. I saw some couples paired up.

I was left all alone.

"Hey, uh, if you don't mind, could we pair up? I don't know anyone here. It's rather intimidating here, really.",Caspian said, British accent swiftly escaping his mouth.

I didn't have anybody else anyway.
I pursed my lips and nodded nonchalantly.

I would've gladly done the project if it were individual work. Since I had no option, I had to go with him.

I took in a deep breath and turned around to look at him. He smiled and turned in his seat. My eyes scanned his body. He was sporting a blue t shirt along with camo pants.

"What's our topic?",he asked.

"Renaissance. Europe.",I said, my eyes searching the ground for some non-existent proof of a new scientific revolution.

"Great. I happen to love the Renaissance period. This project is going to be fun. Is it an essay?",he asked.

"Yes.",I looked up. My hands played with themselves.
