As I rounded the corner the bus was pulling away from the curb, I sprint after it yelling at it to stop, but it just keeps going. I slow my pace slightly and jog after it. As it arrives at the next bus stop I jump on and everyone on the bus is staring at me, I look around and everyone burst out laughing.

Over the laughter I here a unique, husky voice talking about how I could run 3km and still keep up with the bus and only be slightly out of breath. I walk up to the voice finding its owner to be utterly gorgeous with brown hair flipped over one eye a lopsided smile with pearly white teeth, but the main feature on his tanned face was those magnificent eyes the colour was an abnormal bright blue colour with flecks of purple, they were absolutely amazing. With out thinking I blurted out
'you have nice eyes' he chuckled
'thanks for the compliment' I slap my hands over my mouth 'I think' he adds, 'I'm Tom' he says extending his hand
'I'm Erica' I say as we shake hands.
The boy siting next to him sighs loudly, 'Erica when you're finished flirting with my friend it would be nice if you said hi'
'hi Rory' I say dreamily as I'm .still thinking about Tom,
'I'm good, thanks for asking' Rory says sarcastically.
I plop down into the seat across from them and we all break into a casual chat whilst we wait for the bus to arrive at school.

*********************************************

We arrive at school half an hour later, to find our class agenda on the table in the office.
Tom picks up the agenda with his name on it 'Science with Mr. Clarke first' Rory and I let out a giggle
'Mr. Clarke is the strictest teacher in the history of strict teachers' Rory says before he burst out laughing again.
Tom distracted by his agenda asks 'what do you have first period' Rory and I look down at our agendas
'Math with Mrs. Crock' he says with a groan ' lucky me'.
Worriedly I look down at my agenda, I sigh 'Science with Mr. Clarke'
'Looks like your stuck with me' Tom says
'well that's not to bad' I say 'I think' I add. Rory turns to his class as the bell rings.
'let's go' Tom whispers in my ear.
