Attraction

Chapter One

Okay, let's get one thing straight, I did not want to spend my whole year in art class drooling over some random attractive- very attractive- boy at the other end of the table. But hey, life is a wild ride, and it refuse to be the one loser left behind.

Let's back it up, it all started on my first day of sophomore year in high school, August 19 to be exact.

I woke up as if it were any other day of school. I picked out an outfit and leaped down the stairs to take a shower. Once it was done I straightened my blonde hair that went down to my belly button.

After which, I did my makeup like every other day, foundation, powder, and mascara. Keeping it natural, although everyone claims I'm have no reason to wear makeup. I disagree my face is unevenly colored and my eyes always seem to have bags under them. Not to mention my eyes are awkwardly naked without mascara.

Anyway, I finished up my makeup, ate breakfast, gathered my school things, and rushed out the door, as I was already late.

Ok, so a little bit about me. I am 16 years old, my name is Mary Annesty. I have blonde hair and hazel eyes. I have a sister who is 19 and a brother who is 21. They both still live at home. I suffer from an eating disorder, bulimia and occasionally I might refuse to eat, but not often. My parents are aware and I do attend therapy. I do cut myself occasionally if I am feeling depressed. Although I am doing much better. I have been in therapy for 2 years now. My parents do not know about the cutting. Some hobbies are writing, drawing, reading, swimming, taking walks, and listening to music. That's about it for me.

I'm arrived at school and ran to the door of the school and made it to the art classroom as the bell rang.

"Just on time as usual Ms. Annesty, great to see you again." Said the art teacher Mrs. Floyd. I mumbled "sorry." And went to usual my seat, which was the seat closest to the paint cabinet.

As I sat down my friends Anna and Ivory exclaimed loud hellos to me. I gestured a slight wave back to them as I wasn't really feeling like it right now.

I'm not exactly the most popular person in the school, in fact, I only have 3 friends. To everyone else I'm pretty much invisible. Although, I'm completely okay with that, I'm kinda a loner and stick to myself most of the time.

The other friend I was talking about is my guy friend Jake. No, I don't like him. In fact, he's gay. So, no we aren't going to have the "cutest babies" as Ivory and Anna always say. They don't know he's gay, he has only ever told me.

"Hello... hey...Mary!" I heard Anna shout. I rub my ears and say "Really, Anna? Must you bust my eardrums?"

"Well you weren't responding," she says "plus I have to explain our first project to you since you were daydreaming when Mrs. Floyd was explaining it." My cheeks get slightly red as I realize I probably embarrassed myself.

Anna starts to explain the project to me and I begin to understand what to do. As I go to get my supplies I hear my phone vibrate in my pocket. I pull it out and glance at it and see I got a text from Ivory.

From: Ivory
To: Mary
Hottie across the table hasn't taken his eyes of you since you walked in ;)

I roll my eyes and reply to her.

From: Mary
To: Ivory
Calm down stalker, he probably thinks I'm weird or something

After I reply to her I look across the table curious as to if Ivory was kidding or not. But when I look at the "hottie" sure enough he is staring straight at me. Who is he? I begin to think in my head.

When I look over at Ivory she is waggling her eyebrows at me. I roll my eyes and throw a colored pencil at her.

I look back at the mysterious brunette boy to see his eyes right on me, but as our eyes meet, his eyes lock to the ground immediately.

I begin to wonder why he is staring at me. Do I have something in my hair? Or on my face? I begin to worry that I look ridiculous and go to the restroom to check my appearance.

As I get there I look in the mirror and see that I don't have anything on me.

I go back to the classroom and go to the paint cabinet to get orange paint. As I finish mixing the paints together I begin to turn and go back to my seat. As I turn around I'm surprised to see the mystery boy behind me. It slightly gasp since I was not expecting him there, for at least 30 second we had locked eyes. It was as if we would suffocate if our eyes dared to go elsewhere.

Finally I'm snap back into reality and say my apologies. I walk back to my seat, but as I sit down I look over at the paint cabinet only to see him mixing some of his own paints together.

See Ivory, I thought, he just finds me weird.

I look over at her to give her my I told you so face. She rolled her eyes and continued to sketch the outline of her project.

Soon enough the bell rings and I went to my next class, biology. I love biology. I remember when we did a semester of it in 7th grade and I was in heaven! I went into the classroom and immediately spotted Jake.

"Hey slut." I heard him say.

I laughed and replied "Who you calling slut, you bitch."

I laughed and practically jumped into his arms. Everyone has always thought we are dating or we are going to. It makes us laugh obviously because they have no idea that we would never happen.

I sat in my seat which happened to be right in front of Jake, which made me feel better. We were in the middle row in the last two spots. Right where no one will notice me, I thought with a smile on my face.

Just as our teacher, Ms. Dulaney, started to speak I saw a boy in the hall making out with some girl. Ugh, love, I think in my head. Just as I'm about to pay attention the boy walks into our room.

And I'm sure you can guess this cliché, it is none other than the mystery stalker boy himself.
