The Dark Red

Chapter One (Taylor's POV)

 I hear the warning bell ring, signaling class is about to start. "Oh no, I'm going to be late!" I think out loud as I hurry down the hall. Suddenly, something bumps into me and I trip, causing my books and papers to scatter all over the floor with a loud crash. I fall hard on my back, feeling a little dizzy and struggling to catch my breath.

  My vision focuses on a hand, “Easy there Hermosa.” he says helping me up, once I’m standing I notice his black curly hair with a blue bandana in his hair. His hair almost covers his brown eyes, he has freckles. “Are you okay Hermosa?”
He asks breaking my gaze I look at his brown eyes “U-uhm yeah s-sorry,” I say as I kneel to pick up my stuff. He gets on one knee and gathers my papers, and the books he hands them to me, and I slowly stand up “T-thank y-you.” He nods and stands up walking away he says “See ya around Hermosa.” I turn around to see him he’s already gone “Hermoso?” I whisper, what does that even mean? Who is he? Is he new? My brain flooding with questions, frozen in my tracks I hear the late bell ring snapping me back to reality, “Oh no! That’s just great!”.
