"I followed his gaze to the back of the class where sat the only unfamiliar face in the room. It was small and round, like the face of a five year old, shrouded by waves of blonde hair that fell to her waist, except for the bangs that brushed the top of her glasses.

Her lips, pale like baby's skin, quivered uncertainly. Then she bit down on the bottom one, keeping it from giving her away. She looked up at me and our eyes met through the break in her hair. I watched as her creamy skin turned to roses and my world titled on its axis."
