The guy in the shadow

o n e

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. Whose philosopher quoted this and what does it mean in your own opinion?" I heard Mr. Peter Glass but I didn't really understood him, I was busy sketching in my pad the guy I met on the road.

I didn't got the chance to ask for his name yesterday after he give me a ride in his bike to my house. He just told me that he'll fix my car after a week and I can get it in the garage on Sunday and then he just took off after saying the location of the garage.

I tried to draw his face but I can't seems to do it right, I can't perfect his beautiful face. I'm almost done except I've left his face empty. Why can't I perfect his face!? I'm getting frustrated and too focus that I didn't noticed my teacher calling my name until Lauren kicked my butt under the chair I'm sitting onto.

"What the.." I whispered and gulp down my saliva when I realized that everyone is looking at me. If I were a little louder, I'll get detention on my first day.

"Miss Kurtnis, do you find the class boring?"

Yes Sir! That's why I'm drawing something more interesting than you! And of course I wouldn't dare say that to him.

"No, sir. I was just thinking why was the quote was said to be under Plato when it was just attributed to him by someone else?"

"You know you're lucky that you're smart or else you'll be the first to receive Mr. Glass fit but who is that in your drawing?" Lauren asked as we walked the hallway to go to the cafeteria to have lunch

I met Lauren in the hallway. We crash into each other as we run to the class, we are both late in the first class but luckily, the professor were late too. We talk a bit while the prof hasn't arrived and she's funny and friendly. She has long black hair, black eyes, slim body and tall. She's pretty like a model but she act like a tomboy by the way she walk and dress but she doesn't seem like she's bi or something.

"I don't know him as well. I met him yesterday and he help me with my car, I forgot to ask his name but he works at the garage."

"At least you know that he works at the garage. He looks hot based on your drawing but I don't think I know him though. I know every delicious man here but not that one." She said as she winks as we enter the cafeteria. Lauren introduced me to her friend, Aiden which is from a different class. He's cute, nerdy but kind and funny. He has black hair also but green eyes which are so beautiful.

"Hi guys! Introduce me to the beautiful lady you have here." A blonde guy appeared out of nowhere and say in front of me. He's handsome, tall and masculine but he doesn't hold a single light to the guy I met yesterday.

"Niall where have you been? This girl is new here and she's from New York!" Aiden said to the blonde guy who suddenly appeared and sat in front of me. The guy looks like a playboy, he's handsome but no way near Mr. Rider from yesterday.

"Oh wow a city girl! Why would the city girl come to Tashmere?" He asked as he stole a fries from my food and I frown at him. How dare he stole my fries?!

"I was born here til 14 so I'm not exactly a city girl." I said slightly annoyed by the fact that he stole a fries. We're not even close so how dare him! I decided I don't like this guy!

"Ohhh well then welcome to our beloved country! If you want a tour, just call my name and I'll be there, Niall at your service my lady." He extended his hand and I hesitated because he stole my fries but then I don't want to be rude so I shook his hand but he suddenly bring the back of my hand to his lips and kiss it as he look at me, I blush and snatch my hand away from him.

This guy is definitely a playboy!

"Abigail."

I was walking alone in the hallway when suddenly my ears perked because of a low sound. I stopped on my track and listened carefully. I heard another one and decided to search where it came from, as I followed the sound it lead me to the back of the garden, there was a fence and signage to not cross it but I did anyway when I saw a tiny black cat crying out. I came near her but she was scared and run not so far, looking at me suspiciously. I search my bad for some snacks and I found a bread which I haven't ate, I grab a piece and throw it near the tiny cat, she smelled it first and then she eat it.

"Hey baby come here" I said as I wave a tiny bread making the cat came near me as she ask for more food. I love cats and dogs but cats are really my soft spot. I used to have a cat, a white and orange cat, but I lost it and it really hurts so bad to lost a pet, it's like my child and I cried for months whenever I misses him. I was planning to adopt one but I moved.

"You look so adorable. I want to kiss you, hug youuu. You so tiny babyyy"

"meowww"

She was done eating and started rubbing against me. I look at the cat carefully to see if it's a boy or a girl and found out that it's a girl, I was right. I give it pets and rubs, tried to pick it up but she didn't want to so I just continued petting her.

"I wonder what's your name? You got a collar so someone owned you but why are you at school? I hope no one hurts you here, I'll kill them if they do!"

I was startled by the sound of the bell indicating that class is over which I realised that I've skipped one class which is Math! My worst subject! But I found a cute kitty, it's worth it.

"I don't want to leave you here but I need to come home now. I'll visit you tomorrow babyy" I blow her a lot of kisses before leaving.
