𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐁𝐎𝐘

chapter 2.

8:02am

As they enter the nearby cafe, the addicting smell of caffeine and pastries brushes against their noses and causes their mouths to drool. After the unexpected introduction a while ago, the group decides to go to their favorite campus cafe to try and get to know the new boy, Andrew.

The cafe was surrounded with white brick walls, contrasting black light fixtures and had an industrial interior. The cafe had a studious and productive aura, truly a place perfect for students.

Malia, who had her arms wrapped around Nailea, goes to the counter dragging the brunette along with her, while the rest sit on a nearby table. Louis, being a gentleman, reaches for a chair for Aurelia to sit in.

Damn Malia, you are so lucky, Aurelia thought in her head as she sat down.

Silence took over the table for a while, each focused on their own phones. Aurelia, eager to get to know the new figure who sat beside her, started a conversation.

"So Andrew, what are you majoring in?" the blonde asked, causing a smile to form on the man's face.

"I'm majoring in Photojournalism," He grins.  "I just get this rush of excitement every time I take a photo and my mind just comes up with ideas every click." He says proudly, carefully pulling out his camera from his bag to show the photos he's taken.

"Rae, you remember the photos of me that I took in Europe? He was actually the one that took them." Louis says with a smile, and Aurelia's eyes widen from shock. The photos of Louis in Europe got the attention of a fashion brand, which asked him to be one of their ambassadors. Soon after the offer, he was scouted by a few model agencies.

"No shit, can I see your photos?" She immediately asks the boy beside her, leaning closer to get a better look at the photos. Her jaw slightly opens, amazed at the special attention to details and angles each photo had. The shadows and intricate shapes and lines commented one another like a painter's masterpiece.

Aurelia, while mesmerized by the photos, a soft cough erupts from Andrew's lips. Looking up, the woman realized that their faces were only inches apart, each breathe can be felt. Flustered, the two look away, Aurelia's eyes landing on an image of a brunette smirking at her direction.

"Didn't know you would be able to kiss him before I do." Nailea said, laughing at the two blushing faces in front of her as Malia tagged along.

As they eat and familiarize themselves with Andrew, Nailea's hand casually lands on the man's shoulder, turning to his head to ask a question.

"Hey love, can I have your number?" the woman says with confidence, winking at the boy. Andrew, shocked at the woman's sudden move, choked onto the bite of the sandwich he was eating, causing him to cough. The table fills with laughter, others almost teary eyed at what had just happened.

"Andrew, that's just how she is so don't worry, she's done worse to me when we first met." Louis explained while catching his breath.

9:11am

They step out of the cafe, beaming with satisfaction, smiles plastered on their faces. They exchange numbers with Andrew by the beautiful mural at the side of the cafe, engaging in small talk with the boy to fill the silence. Nailea groans as she looks at her phone with an annoyed face, causing everyone to turn their attention to the lady.

"I need to get some extra pattern paper and a new watercolor set for a big project due in 3 weeks. I gotta pass by the craft store real fast before my ten am class. Who can take me there?" Nailea questioned.

"We can take you there since Louis and I were gonna go to the Line Friends store to get a birthday present for my niece, and we've got no classes this morning." Malia replied, looking at her boyfriend for his approval. Louis nods and they head to the car except for Aurelia. They turn to look at the woman left behind with a confused look.

"My Professor is probably gonna arrive in like fifteen minutes so I'm gonna head to my class early." The blonde says with a reassuring smile to her friends.

"What are you talking about? Didn't you read Prof's text? He said class is canceled and he can't come to class." words came out of Andrew's lips, causing the woman to grow a very confused look . She immediately checks her messages on her phone, seeing what her friend mentioned.

"Wait, we're classmates?!" Aurelia says, surprised at the man smugly smirking in front of her.

"Ouch! someone's presence was never noticed, am I that insignificant?" Andrew speaks, acting offended with a hand placed on his chest. The group of friends laugh at the unexpected realization as they make their way to Louis' car. Before reaching the white vehicle, Aurelia thought of something that interested her.

"Hey Andrew, can you actually come with me by the cafe again to take some photos?" She asked the male about to enter the car.

"Oh sure, Louis can you pass me my camera?" He said, feeling slightly excited. For Him, working with models was way more exciting than taking photos of landscapes. A body was able to create more controllable lines and to create a more interesting focus in a photo. It was his way of communication that he liked the most. He was handed the camera, then turned his head to the blonde next to him hugging her close friend.

"Stop stealing my man you bitch." The brunette said jokingly at the woman in front of her, turning to Andrew and winked at the man. The trio ended up chuckling and said their goodbyes.

When the two arrived at the front of the cafe, the man silently looked around studying the surroundings, eyes suddenly landing onto the lovely lady in front of him, tying her hair into a ponytail.

"So how do we start?" Aurelia asked the man while grinning ear to ear. After seeing her friend's works, she knew what to expect and grew extremely excited.

"Stand right there by the main door, and if you want a more relaxed photo, I suggest trying to make soft lines with your body, and if you want a more structured one, try making more strong lines or shapes." He replied while positioning himself and checking for a good angle.

The woman in front of him started doing soft delicate motions that created softer lines on her body. She loosened her body and formed a relaxed expression, swaying softly side to side, sometimes using her green cup of coffee as a prop. Andrew grew amazed at how the woman in front of him knew exactly what to do and how her body moved so freely.

The wind blowing through her hair and the sun complimenting her pale skin, gave her this soft alluring image that can obtain one's attention. Seeing the boy move his position and direct her movements, the girl couldn't help but look at the boy, admiring him. His hair turning a golden brown from the sun, the tiny crinkles in his eyes while taking photos, grinning proudly at the photos he took in his camera. Aurelia couldn't help but look at the charming man in front of her, causing her to giggle, heart beating fast.

The woman makes eye contact with the camera, making Andrew pause, flustered at the beautiful woman in front of him. He quickly takes a photo and takes steps, moving closer to Aurelia to check the photos that were taken.

Aurelia admired the photos, the corners of her lips turning upwards with pure satisfaction. After checking and approving the photos, Andrew looks up and unintentionally studies the alluring woman close to him.

Her attracting dark grey eyes contrasting her pale complexion, soft dimples on the corners of her mouth and a small beauty mark under her left eye that everyone else would barely notice unless seen up close.

They proceed to walk silently towards the street signs around the block for their next location, both elated. The blonde looks up at the man walking along next to her and grins, thinking in her head,

Thank you Professor for canceling class today.
