I - First Impression

"Nicholas, I'll do anything."

I was prying.

It wasn't on purpose but the Goddess had given me a terrible sense of direction which led me to this very moment so I couldn't possibly walk away now.

A girl cries on her knees, holding onto the polished shoes of the boy in front of her which her tears fell onto.

"You're not an exception." The guy held onto a strand of her hair, letting it fall out of his palms. He rolls his eyes, which land on me.

It didn't bother me to see that he showed no clear interest in me nor the girl in front of him.

He was too goodlooking, I hated excessively goodlooking guys.

Surprisingly though, he hadn't looked away from me until his company's pleading cries became too unbearable to ignore.

"I was hesitant, Nicholas. I couldn't believe I'd be the girl to finally get to you after N-" she choked on her words, staring wide eyed as the guy lightly kicked her hands off his shoes.

"As if you could compare to her. " He scoffed and it almost looked like there was a small feint smile on his face.

"Should've known that this was another one of your games." She sobbed to herself, her sadness turning into rage as she pulled on her school tie. Ripping her pearl necklace off her neck, the pearls rolling all the way over the ground.

"Your hand twitched." Azula, my wolf notes.

"So?" I replied to her in confusion.

"You have to get rid of your beggarly tendencies now that you're among the priviledged."

Mentally I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't going to take the pearls."

"But you thought of it."

I ignored her words and reluctantly made my way to the crying girl after the guy had made a move to leave.

My eyes didn't dare to look over at him as we walked past each other. But before I could get further away, my wrist was grabbed. Preventing me to get any closer to the girl.

"Goddess we're next." Azula, my wolf states in fear.

"Don't bother." His voice was heavy on the words.

I turned my head in hopes to see his face up close. But he hadn't even been looking at me. It was only until he felt my eyes scan all over his side profile did he finally turn his head.

"That thing isn't worth your time." He stated. I grew a distasteful expression as he dropped my arm.

"Nicholas do you even know this girl?" The once tear stained girl stood up, enraged at the sight of us.

Her tears were nowhere to be found, the only proof of her tantrum would be the red scratches across her neck.

"No. I don't."

And then I felt it. His deep gaze, it made me hold my breath. I was certain his eyes observed every detail of my appearance.

The feeling so intense that I suddenly became aware of everything at once, from how the earth turned to the clouds drifting. I could feel it all along with him.

I hated it.

Awareness, it was the one thing I wish I could erase from my life.
