Love Struck | ✓

THE PERFECT GIRL

"Elena. Elena. Elena." Pulling me from my trail of thoughts, I blinked rapidly.

It was a familiar voice. One that I'd grown accustomed to. Grinning, I paused as I took in Sebastian's appearance, I found that this was the perfect moment to introduce the future love struck teens to one another.

"Sebastian!" I smiled with enthusiasm. At this, he furrowed his eyebrows.

With the same amount of enthusiasm, he replied. "Elena!" Except his smile was filled with doubt and he stared at me as if I was the craziest person he'd ever met.

Ignoring this, I turned to take a brief look at Loren whose eyes were glued to Sebastian's.

This was perfect! It would seem as though Loren appreciated what she saw. This was going to be easier than I thought.

"Sebastian. This is Loren." Grinning like a mad woman, I pulled Sebastian forwards by his collar; this didn't seem to work as he remained glued to his spot.

Raising a questioning eyebrow, he stepped forwards; on his own. "Hey." His eyes lit up.

Amazing. I thought as I'd watched Sebastian instantly become charming and slightly flirtatious. It was almost as if he'd been built with a switch inside of him. One that he could turn on and off whenever he'd wished.

It would seem as though it was on, at this current moment.

"Nice meeting you Loren, but actually, I needed to talk to Elena." Shifting between Loren's dim expression and my confused one, everyone went silent.

It was then I'd felt Sebastian's intense glare on me, one that didn't seem like it was going to disappear. "Um- actually, I have to-"

Cutting me off, a hand was placed on my hip. I jilted upwards in fright. "Oh." I squeaked, my head whipping round to take in the owner of the hand which rested on my side.

"Colin." I whispered, my body stiffening as I flushed a pinky red colour at the sight of his amused expression. "Uh- hi." I smiled, inwardly praying that I wouldn't embarrass myself anymore than usual.

"Hey. I was waiting for you by your locker." He smiled. I could tell what he'd meant, so with a nod I turned to Sebastian. "Maybe you could tell me later." I told him, shifting my gaze to Loren who once again gave all of her attention to Sebastian who only stared at me blankly.

Feeling an almost awkward tension rise, I turned to Alissa, only to roll my eyes at the sight of her eyebrows wiggling up and down in a rather suggestive manner.

After sending her an unamused look, I allowed Colin to lead me away, smiling up at him as he did so as I found myself getting lost in those beautiful green eyes of his.

"So..I wanted to ask you something." He started off, his lips curling into a grin.

As we furthered down the corridor, I gestured for him to continue.

"Can I take you out on that date..tonight?" Smiling uncontrollably, I nodded, my cheeks heating up as I was rendered speechless.

The excitement I felt was almost imposible to keep bottled up, but somehow, I managed.

As I did so, I found myself with the ability to finally speak again. "Yes. I'd love that." Humming in response, a blonde strand fell in the way of his eye.

I could feel a pair of eyes on me. The gaze was intense and it made me feel- weird. I couldn't quite describe the feeling.

Except for one thing, it wasn't Colin.

As we continued to tread down what felt like a never ending corridor, I found myself looking over my shoulder.

I did this, only to meet a pair of enticing dark brown eyes.

Sebastian.

Loren seemed to be chatting away to him with her bright blue eyes alit and Alissa seemed to be smiling at the way Loren talked to her hearts content.

I walked further and further away from Sebastian and the whole time, he didn't look at Loren or Alissa, or anyone around him.

Because his eyes were fixed on me.

And I didn't know how I felt about that..
