I froze...who was he?
His hair swayed above his head in the perfect form. Light, brown hair that glistened from the light through the window. His eyes so bright and bold I could feel them burning through my skin. He was tall, but not too tall just a very good size. I'd never seen anyone so so..

"Chloe, are you deciding on sitting down at any point or you just going to stand there in the doorway?"
I went to the back of the classroom, my favourite spot closest to the window. I hadn't felt like this before, shaken and nervous I struggled to get my leg around the high chair we use for experiments.
He is so cute.
My eyes fixated on his perfect face until a hand on my shoulder causes me to snap back into reality.

"CHLOE"

Why is the whole class staring at me?
I catch eyes with Mr Jenson now, seems he had been trying to get my attention how awkward..

"I said are you okay to partner up with our new student Leo, as because you are late everyone has already chose their partner?
" oh yeah..of course.. no problem.. that's fine. completely fine"
What am I doing? Chloe just stop talking oh my

He came towards me, it felt like a romantic slow motion love shot in those popular movies, oldies love to watch. As he sat next to me I could smell the fresh fruit flavour of his shampoo as he ran his fingers through his perfectly styled hair.
Mr Jenson carried on talking for another 15 minutes or so about the experiment we was doing today but I just couldn't focus with this boy sitting next to me...
Come on Chloe talk, introduce yourself

"Hi, I'm Chloe nice to meet you. Did-d-d you just um move to this area or?" I stuttered, not making eye contact whatsoever.
He replied making instant eye contact that I couldn't ignore; staring right into my soul. "Oh hi Chloe, I'm Leo and yeah, my family and I moved here recently from California. I really like your hair, I've actually never seen anyone pull it off so well!"
Wow his accent is so sexy, smooth and deep and he commented on my hair! Omg he's making every nerve in my body tingle.
"Oh Cali wow that's so cool! And thanks I guess, I'm really not a fan of it! But um so anyway I think we better start on this experiment before Mr Jenson loses his head"I grabbed the small piece of magnesium and put it into the test tube, going to put my thumb over it quickly. Leo did the same.
"Oh sorry! Um you can do it aha" I quick spluttered it out.
He smirked, but no reply.
I need to stop being so giddy, I'm frightening the poor boy away.

The bell rings..

He grabs my bag off the side of the counter and hands it to me.

"Oh, thank you! Do you have French next with Madame Monette? I asked as he turned away.
"Let me see" taking a small white piece of paper out of his blue tight jeans. "Yes, can I come with you because I don't know where that is!"
Omg he wants to come with me, reply Chloe reply!
"Yes of course you can...gentlemen first!" I bowed towards the door, trying to put on my best British accent.
"Why thank you!" He replied with an even better British accent, tilting his head forwards and pulling down a pretend hat.
and he gets my humour, it really is my lucky day.

School day is over...

Sitting on the steps of the school everyday waiting for Caleb to stop locking lips with his new girlfriend was becoming a very annoying routine. He'd only just met her and they were ALWAYS with each other. You could say I miss him.. i guess! We used to have so much more fun before he met Mia. She had him on lockdown all the time; the only thing she'd let him do with me is take me to and from school! The only reason being is because my mom makes him. Mia just loves to rub their relationship in my face like I'm jealous he's my brother for god sake!

"Excuse me, your kind of in the way of the stairs"
A voice behind me causing me to jump.
"Oh sorry!" As I get up to move, I get that instant smell again; fruit.
I turn to see his cute smile again while slowly walking down step by step, then slouching on the side of the stairs like he's waiting for someone.
"Are you waiting for someone too" I ask.
"Oh me? Yeah my brother should be coming to pick me up any time soon! Whether he actually decides to will be the best question!"

Guess we have another thing in common.

As I go to reply, a black car full of a group of guys comes speeding round the corner and to a halt in-front of the school; the tinted window slowly comes down..

"Oo Leo's got a girlfriend on the first day! Get in there little bro! Instantly Leo runs towards the car and jumps in shouting "Flynn don't please!"
The guy in the front stares at me.
Flynn? Who was that?
He has jet black hair that looks like he puts a lot of effort into it. A very sharp jawline the type models you see in commercials have. I watched his bold eyes look me up and down and the window went up and the car speeded off. I felt so uncomfortable in my shorts and white top on, I pulled my jacket out my backpack and put it on; I knew I'd be here for a while.

But what was that all about and who is this Flynn guy?
