The boy next door

Why me?!

I walked into my first period class which was math class. Math was one of my best subjects and I want to keep it that way.

Lita and I sat next to each other. When the bell rang our teacher said, "Hi everybody my name is Miss Lorenza. I will be your math teacher for the year." She was very pretty. She had dark long brown hair and beautiful blue eyes. Oh and she was supper tall. All the guys in the room started whistling and eying her.

The door opened and Derek walked in. Miss Lorenza said out loud, "You're late Mister Materazzi. Care to explain?" He replied, "Well isn't it obvious? I'm not late everybody is just simply early." He said that with a wink. Lita started laughing. The teacher looked at her with a serious look which caused Lita to look down at her agenda. She turned back to Derek, "Very funny. Take a seat behind our newest student," motioning her hand towards me. 'WHY ME?!' I thought to myself.

He threw his books on the table causing them to make a loud noise when they made contact with the desk. But obviously he didn't care. Some kid from the back of the class yelled, "Ha finally the stoner loner decides to come to class!" and all the other jocks around him started laughing. "Hey everybody settle down. Josh apologize to Derek immediately," Miss Lorenza said firmly. I turned around and I saw Derek laughing but without any humour.

He rose up from his chair. Everybody's face went blank and shocked. The class was silent. Derek said, "Don't worry miss the asshole doesn't need to apologize to me. He just wants attention like he always does," he went on and turned to the girl sitting next to Josh. The girl was Josh's girlfriend. And Derek continued, "Oh by the way Kassandra, Josh is cheating on you with your best friend. Saw them in the library ripping each others clothes off... You're welcome." Everybody put their hands over their mouths in complete shock. Josh was so embarrassed and his face was so red when Kassandra stormed out of the class. Derek took a bow and sat down.

There was 12 minutes left till the bell rang. I felt something being thrown at me. I turned around to see Derek with his legs up on his desk, his hands behind his head and I slight smile trying to make me uncomfortable. I whispered angrily at him, "I see you like to throw things towards my direction. Like the little rocks thrown at my window last night and now little balls of paper," I paused. "Now what do you want?!" I hissed. "Nothing I just wanted to piss you off. It's funny watching your nose wrinkle and your cheeks get small little blotches," he said lining in closer to me. And right then I pulled away. I noticed something different about him. I couldn't figure out what it was at first but then I saw it. It was his eyes they weren't pitch black. They were grey. I light shaded grey. I had never seen such an eye colour before. It was almost beautiful just watching them. Almost if they were hypnotizing. He looked at me and leaned his head to the right as if he was confused. He had no idea what I was looking at and then he figured out I was staring into his eyes. So he started smiling. I felt like smiling cause I felt like blushing but I couldn't have him know I found him attractive because then he wouldn't leave me alone. So I just kept my face emotionless and turned around. I jumped when I heard the bell ring and I said under my breath, "Saved by the bell."

I looked down at my schedule and said out loud, "Fuck!" Gym. Really gym? On my second day? Oh suck it up Malia, you got this! It's just gym class.
