Part 3 - Pure Beauty

Joe's POV

We walked into school and went to Rami's locker to get his books. We started talking about the Beatles for some reason, about how I liked their earlier stuff and how Rami liked their later stuff but we were stopped abruptly, someone tapped on my shoulder and when I turned around I almost fainted at how pretty they were.

He had soft blonde hair pushed back to one side, i just wanted to run my hands through it. I looked into his eyes and he had dull green eyes that sparkled in the light and his lashes reflected in his eyes. i looked down at his lips, his perfect pink lips that were open ajar and showed his pearly white teeth.

i was then knocked out of thought and i came back to reality but the other boy clearly hadn't, his mouth was open agape and was still staring.

"wh-what do you want?"

this seemed to bring him back to reality, "i just need directions to the front desk."

"oh, you go down the end of this hall and then to your left, down the hall and then take another right and you should see some yellow double doors, go through them and then to your left and there it is."

"ok, so right and then..."

"do you just want me to take you?"

"yes please."

"ok then," i started walking with him and turned back around to Rami. "see you later."

he nodded and i turned back around and started walking with him. i turned my head slightly to look at him and caught him looking at me. his face turned a deep red and turns away quickly hoping i didnt see.

"so your'e the new kid?"

"yeah, my dad got a job offer here that was too good to decline and so me, my mum, my sister and my dad moved down here last week."

"cool, so do you wanna skip first lesson and smoke behind the bleachers?"

He looked at me with a face of uter shock.

"what?"

"i- I've just never done anything like that before."

I scoffed slightly and we walked in a comfortable silence. I caught him catching a few glances at me and he would blushed whenever I turned to look at him.

I stopped abruptly and it took him a second to realise. I pointed to the door we stopped in front of and looked at the sign; front desk.

"but maybe we could hang out after school."

"yes I'd like that."

I started to walk away from him but I was stopped.

"wait, where should I meet you?"

"bus stop."

I nodded and turned away smiling like an idiot the whole time it took for me to get to the playing field.
