Henley
I sit up in my seat as the girl whispers something to Mrs. Baxter and she smiles at her nodding.
"Class we have a new student. This is Marielle Eden. She's a late transfer from Redland High School. Please welcome her in," Mrs. Baxter says.
Or at least I think that's what she says.
I can barely hear her as I stare at the girl, Marielle, next to her.
A few people say hi, or wave to her as her brown eyes look around at all of us. She has the most amazing lips I've ever seen. Full, and pouty the kind of lips girls in Seabrook have started paying money to get, but I can tell hers are natural.
Gorgeous brown skin, and long black braids. She's got a piercing on her nose, and a few earrings in her ears as well.
Her nails are long with designs on them and she's wearing a large black t-shirt with black shorts and converse sneakers. Even with the oversized shirt on I can tell her body is incredible.
She's a fucking knockout.
"I've never seen you pay attention to anything in this class like you are right now," Theo whispers over to me chuckling.
I ignore him as Marielle's eyes land on me. I expect her to look away shyly like most girls do when I catch their gaze. But instead she smiles at me, showing off two rows of perfectly white teeth and two amazing dimples. My dick, that was already showing interest, hardens even more in my shorts.
"Marielle, you can pick a seat wherever you'd like. Take this textbook dear," Mrs. Baxter says making Marielle turns her attention away from me, which strangely annoys me. "Thank you ma'am," she says, taking the book and looking around.
I'm sitting inbetween Theo and Eva and I'm suddenly regretting not sitting on the end where Theo is because there's an empty seat next to him.
She looks at the empty seat and starts to walk down the aisle and I sit up straighter in my chair. But she suddenly stops at another empty seat up front not even looking back again.
I frown as the teacher begins her lesson and Theo snickers next to me. I glare over at him. "Relax bro. You can talk to her after class," he whispers, turning back to his book.
I try to focus on the lesson but I'm sitting in the perfect position to stare at Marielle and that's what I do for most of the next 45 minutes.
My eyes skate over her long brown legs, admiring her thighs that arent as thick as I'm normally into, but perfect for her frame. She's so focused on the lesson she doesn't even glance in my direction again.
When the bell rings, Mrs. Baxter calls out a reminder about homework as we all quickly pack up our things. By the time I shove my things in my backpack and look up, Marielle is already heading out the door.
"I'll catch you at lunch," I say quickly to Theo heading to the door. But everyone in front of me is being slow and I quickly go around two girls who are talking in front of me giving them an annoyed look.
I walk quickly out of the classroom but don't see her when I look down the hallway. I look in the other direction and spot her dark braids in the crowd. She's looking down at her schedule not paying attention to anything around her.
I walk behind her, adjusting my t-shirt and wishing I'd put some actual effort into my outfit today. I normally don't care what I look like at school, so I'll have to work with what I've got.
I get right behind her and clear my throat. She turns slightly and does a double-take looking up at me.
She's taller than I thought, not having to crane her neck to look up at me like most girls do. She must be at least 5'9, and her legs look like they go on for miles in the shorts she has on.
"Hey, Marielle right?" I ask smiling down at her.
She nods, moving some of her braids over her shoulder. "Yeah, hi," she responds, raising an eyebrow and I'm so caught up staring at her it takes me a moment to realize that I didn't properly introduce myself.
I chuckle and shake my head. "I'm sorry. I'm Henley Cole," I say extending my hand to her. She looks down at my hand and gives me a dimpled smile before putting her hand in mine. I notice her nails again, they're a deep red with a few small hearts on random nail tips.
"Nice to meet you Henley," she says, her voice soft and sweet. "You too," I say keeping her hand in mine and moving her out of the way of other kids trying to get by.
"Do you need help finding your next class?" I ask, nodding to the schedule in her hand. She releases her hand from mine gently and nods. "This school is a little confusing," she sighs. "It really can be," I agree. "Can I see?"
She hands me her schedule and I scan it quickly realizing we have one more class together, sixth period Chemistry and I smile. "Well your next class is right around the corner, let me walk you there," I say. She widens her eyes and looks over my face. "Are you sure? You don't mind?"
I start moving down the hallway and shake my head. "Not at all."
We walk through the crowd and people say hi to me or wave as we go. I quickly wave back or nod, but stay close to her. "So you're from Redland?" I ask, as we make it to her class and stand outside.
"I am, yeah. I just moved down here last week actually. But it took me a few days to get my paperwork together to start classes," she says.
I lean against the wall facing her as we study each other. There's something so different about her but I can't put my finger on it. She doesn't seem intimidated by me like a lot of girls are, maintaining eye contact with me and speaking confidently.
"I like Redland. Much more exciting than Seabrook. Why did your family move here?" I ask. Her eyes shift away from me and she adjusts her backpack. "My family didn't move here. My older sister actually lives here, so I asked if I could transfer and finish up Senior year with her," she says and I look at her in surprise.
Why would someone want to leave their Senior year of school to come to another town?
I go to ask her this but get interrupted. "Yo Henley! I was trying to find you."
Marielle and I both turn to look at Peter coming up behind her. His eyes move from me to Marielle and he smiles at her. "Oh, hey I'm sorry. Are you new?" He asks politely.
Marielle pushes off the wall and stands up straight smiling back at him. "I am, yes. I'm Marielle," she says and Peter introduces himself. "I better get to class. Thank you so much for your help Henley. I appreciate you," she says shooting me another sweet smile before walking into her class.
Peter and I both watch her sway away and he pushes my shoulder. "Why am I not surprised you'd be the first to find a gorgeous new girl at school?" He teases as we move to head to our second period class.
"We had our first class together," I respond trying to sound chill. "Hmm, what luck," he comments giving me an unconvinced look, and I roll my eyes. "Come on man. Let's go."
When lunch period comes, I convince Theo and Peter to stay on campus to eat even though we previously agreed to go to Lees Diner. We sit down at a table with a bunch of our friends and I make sure to sit on the end with a small space next to me.
My eyes continue to go back to the entrance of the cafeteria waiting to see if Marielle comes through.
"I wonder why our boy here suddenly had a change of heart and wanted to stay on campus to eat this semi-decent food instead of going out," Theo says across from me.
Peter chuckles, popping a fry into his mouth. "Well, let's see Theo. Only two things interests our boy Henley more than Lee's Double Bacon Cheeseburger. Football or puss-"
"Shut the fuck up Peter," I warn, throwing a fry at him as he and a few of our friends laugh at my expense. Eva narrows her eyes at Peter giving him a disgusted look. "Do you have to be so vulgar?" She scolds.
Peter goes to give her a smart ass reply, but is interrupted by another voice. "Damn, there's that new girl," our friend Gio exclaims from the end of the table.
Everyone's heads turn towards the cafeteria entrance to see Marielle standing with a small wallet in her hand, looking around the cafeteria.
"There's your girl bro," Theo whispers and I get up from my seat.
A few of our friends look up at me confused, but I ignore their stares and head straight over to Marielle.
