"Um..." I drop my mouth open as I stare at him.
"Is there something on my face?" He says as he chuckles. I shake my head and look down quickly hoping my hair covers my face.
This is too embarrassing even for me, as the teacher talks about the history of art I notice that he starts to tap his fingers against the desk. I start to tap my fingers too and gaze at this beautiful boy in front of me.
His cheekbones are defined nicely and he has a nice length for eyelashes. I started to doodle anime eyes in my sketchbook because the teachers rules and guidelines were boring me.
I felt eyes on my the side of my face and I looked up to see Mason staring at me with an unknown expression. He quickly turned around to face the teacher with a slight blush in his cheeks.
"Alright now it's time to turn on the computers," said the art teacher. I turned to face my computer and press the on button.
"Why isn't it working?" I mutter to myself and Mason gets up to talk to the teacher. I crawl underneath the desk to the the power source. As I'm trying to figure out what's causing the problem I see Mason sitting beside me.
I yelp and cover my mouth. "What are you doing down here?" I whisper loudly. "The same thing you're doing I'm trying to turn on the computer" he states. I clear my throat and nod my head, turning back to my task. I feel someone breath on the back of my neck and I scream hitting my head underneath the desk.
"Are you okay?" asks the teachers. "Yeah I'm good thank you," I say politely as I shoot daggers at a smirking asshole. I put a finger against my neck and slide it across it to let Mason know I'm going to kill him. The teacher leaves to assist another student and we both crawl out from under the table and sit at our desks.
"Alright since it's the first day of school the assignment will be easy," the teacher explains. "I simply want you to draw lines and be creative."
I've been told the only thing I can draw are anime eyes but everything else is just garbage. I look over at Mason's work and almost gasp, he's bloody amazing. Sadly I'm not British but holy hell, as I continue to stare I see eyes look up. "Am I that good looking?" He asks while chuckling to himself.
"As if don't get to cocky, I'm just surprised you can draw well," I mutter to myself not expecting him to hear me. "It's one of my many passions," he says as his eyes drop to my lips. I clear my throat awkwardly and go back to working.
As I pack up my stuff, Zoe walks over to me. "Oh my god he was seriously checking you out, like he wanted to take you right there," she says jumping up and down. I look at her in disbelief, it's not possible is it? I just met him. I push my thoughts aside as Zoe and I make out way to the lunch line.
When we get to the line, a group of girls are talking about how guys are assholes. "All guys want is sex," says a girl with braids. "I agree like what the hell, what if I don't want sex," a really short girl with braces says. "Honestly you guys are ridiculous, not all guys are the same," says a girl that looks like the leader of their group.
"Well regardless, we can't blame all guys for wanting sex all the time the media plays a huge role in that too," I say surprised to hear myself talking. They all look at me in confusion, the leader of the group says,"See, I'm not the only one." She turns to me and tells me her name is Mia, the girl with the braids is Ikhari, and the shortest girl is Layla.
"Why don't you guys join us for lunch?" Ikhari says with a smile on her face. I nod, not complaining I could use a few more friends. After getting my food I walk with Zoe behind our new group of friends. Not paying attention to where I'm walking I bump into someone.
"Sor-" I stop mid-sentence as I see who it is. Mason looks down on me with a smirk and his hands on my waist. I gasp as his hands tighten around my waist. "Real funny Mason let me go," I struggle to get out of his grasp. Finally free I begin walking away, and I swear I hear him say," But what if I don't want to."
As I return to the group I see Ikhari glaring at me. "Is there something wrong?" I ask confused. "Yes there is, everyone knows that I like Mason so back off," she says while tightening her fist. "Woah woah chill, you can have him. I don't like him," I say with seriousness. Even though I told the truth, there's a part of me that finds him alluring.
"Sorry about that, she gets really possessive over him. Even though she knows he doesn't like her," Layla says to me quietly before catching up to Ikhari trying to calm her down. "Wow, that was something," Zoe chuckles as we link arms.
"Tell me about it, who gets that possessive over a guy?" I chuckle. "You have no idea how many stories I read where the girl is possessive over the guy," Zoe states. "I'm scared because you're probably right," I say laughing as we walk out of school.
School went rather quicker than I thought. Since Zoe left early I was alone in front of the school. I heard yelling rapidly approach me. Using my legal ninja skills I quickly hid behind a bush I peeped just a little to see Mason and a girl talking.
"Raine you can't seriously be jealous, you have a boyfriend for fuck sakes and besides I think I like someone else," he said clearly irritated.
"It's that new bitch isn't it? Mason what about us? She's irrelevant," she said on the verge of tears.
"Don't talk about her like that, I never liked you anyway" his voice shouted, causing her to fall onto the ground and break into tears.
It took her a while to leave and when she did, Mason sat down in front if me with his hands on his knees.
"Mason are you alright?" A new voice asked. I looked up to see a boy looking down on him with concern.
"I..uh I don't know my mind is going crazy because of this one girl," he finally said looking up at his friend.
I feel a pain in my heart as I think of who the lucky girl is. She must be really pretty, there's no way someone as original and dull as me could ever get someone like him.
"Leigha, she's driving me crazy," he chuckles softly. Wait what, there's another Leigha at this school? Envy seethes into my skin as I think of this 'Leigha' and Mason together.
I look down at my phone to see a message from my mom telling she's here. Shit I mutter, how am I supposed to leave right now? I groan when I realize my mom has a hair appointment. Thinking fast I slowly crawl out from the bushes, and crab walk to the tennis courts. I see a couple walk past me and I cuss quietly for being so stupid. Who the hell crab walks to escape awkward situations anyway?
As I make my way to the park I dash for the parking lot, frantically looking for my moms car. When I finally see her I sprint to the car, out of breath when I open the door my mom looks at me confused.
"Long story," I laugh quietly.
