Her Knight in White Shirt and Blue Jeans

1. Eyes are the window to your soul

The grey clouds in the sky reflected Alexandra White's mood perfectly, darkening by every passing second. She looked up at them as a single rain drop fell on her forehead like a light butterfly kiss sent from above. Her lips curved up in a melancholic smile.

Releasing a deep sigh, she opened the door of the car, waiting for her dad. When she saw him hurriedly getting down the front steps of the porch, she got in.

The journey to school passed in silence. She watched the passing scenery with a frown on her face. Her brown eyes hiding the sadness behind a wall so cold that told people to stay away from her.

"We're going to be on time." Her dad, George White said, mistaking her frown for being upset on being late.

She just nodded, passing her eyes over him, who looked really cheerful today. She snorted under her breath. He was probably going to bring her cousin home today.

As the school started coming into view, memories of the previous three years came crashing down on her like waves. The cold look in her eyes was broken for an instant and was replaced by regret and anger.

Students watched as her dad parked the car and got out. Alexandra White was well known in school as the perfect ideal student...and also as the girl who took no bullcrap from no-one.

But she wasn't always like this.

Gently shutting the car door, she shifted the bag on her shoulders, taking in the place she'd come to hate over the past years.

Her eyes stopped at a group of students near the school gates. One of them, a boy with shoulder length dark brown hair and green eyes like the leaves waved at her with a gentle smile on his face.

Her heart raced, a familiar feeling of nostalgia creeping up in her chest. She scoffed internally. As if that was enough...

She turned away from the boy, like she should've in the first place. Feeling a burning gaze on her, she turned her head to her right. Brown clashed with blue, locking their gazes in, unknown to them of the stories they would unfold.

He was wearing the school uniform - dark blue pants and a white shirt with a dark blue and grey striped tie. His sleeves were folded up to his elbows, his chestnut brown hair a messy yet stylish mop on his head. His hand that had been clutching the strap of his bag tightly loosened, and the annoyance on his face was replaced by curiosity.

That piercing blue gaze of his froze her in her place, prompting her to stare back at those eyes so blue like a sapphire. They narrowed ever so slightly, that she wouldn't even have noticed if she hadn't been paying attention.

They were like ice and sapphires - cold and so beautiful.

It was like they were hiding something in that ocean of blue, something she felt strangely familiar with.

They say eyes are the window to your soul. His seemed half closed... mirroring her own.

The stormy sky seemed to be perfectly in sync with Xander Knight's mood which kept getting worse by every passing moment.

Just then a single raindrop fell on his head. He looked up at the grey clouds, a mocking smile creeping on his lips.

His twin brother, Liam had already left for his college while Xander was stuck here waiting for his dad, who for some reason decided it was a good idea to drop him off.

"I'm meeting someone." His dad, Ethan Knight said as if a high school was a good meeting place for a Mafia boss.

Releasing a deep sigh, Xander sat on the passenger seat. "Aren't you going to ask who I'm meeting?" His dad raised his eyebrow, his fingers tapping to the beat of the music on the steering wheel.
