For once I was actually glad to be at school today. One, I was away from my parent's constant arguing-That's all they ever did. Secondly I had to admit that I was quite curious about how the angel-like creature I saw last night was going to fit into school. I mean, this school is observing as observing can get. They'll instantly notice those enormous wings he luggage around on his back and those eyes...no ordinary human could own a pair those things without the mighty help of contacts, actually not even that! My mind continued to wonder as I headed to my first class, Biology. I sighed inwardly when I saw my crush was flirting with Miss-blue eyed and blonde haired-Popular girl. I didn't have a lot of friends at school. I only had one, Jenny. Jenny was so lively that it made up for me being so conserved; I must admit that she was the best friend a girl like me could ever have.
I locked eyes with Miss. Popular, All I’m going to say that if looks could kill, I'd be seriously ill. I looked away and sat next to Jenny. She craned her neck down to look at me causing her auburn hair to pour forward and she smiled.
'Hey you! -Smile would ya? -It's good for the brain.' Jenny giggled a little and got her books out.
'What's the matter?' Jenny asked, frowning. 'What's bugging you?' Was it that obvious?
'Nothing...' I muttered looking back at my crush Erik as he continuously flirted with Mary-Miss Popular-who was twirling her blonde locks with her fingers. Jenny instantly caught onto this.
'Is it Erik?' Jenny asked, lowering her voice. The teacher, Mr. Ransack, had just entered the room. The class lowered their conversations to low whispers and murmurs; Erik took his seat behind Mary. I slowly shook my head, before turning to face the front of the class. Jenny sighed and started jotting down notes, I leaned back into my seat and prepared myself for this lecture of hers that was just beginning.
'Paige, you should just forget that guy...' Jenny started. 'He hasn't made a move on you, if he thinks Mary's so perfect then it's obvious that he doesn't know what he's missing out on-so don't bother waiting for him.'
I groaned and rested my head on the desk, 'I want him to notice me though, Jenny.' I pause to jot down some more notes-equations mostly-'I wish he would, he's so...amazing. Almost like a movie star. Gorgeous, sweet, funny, plus he's got that smile that could melt any girl-even a lesbo.' Jenny rolled her eyes and shook her head, which meant that I was winning this small debate. '
There are so many guys out there...one that's actually waiting for you.' Jenny said. 'Wait for him, Paige.' I considered that, maybe she was right, I looked in Erik's direction, he was stretching out his arm to try and tap Mary on the back-completely aware of this-Mary was sitting normally with a teasing smile on her face. I frowned, maybe Jenny was right. Erik hadn't even batted an eyelash in my direction since I entered the room. The fact that Jenny's statement was getting more and more correct was making me feel sick.
'Right guys, turn to pages one-four-nine, in your text books-remember to take notes, please.' His eyes scanned the class eagerly, making sure that everyone was doing as instructed. Then his eyes widened at something behind me, he had a puzzled look on his face then composed himself. 'Oh.' he murmured to himself. He then made his voice louder, stretching his hand out to something at the back of the room. 'Students, it seems that we have a new student in our class, you must be Ethan, am I right?'
Everyone-including me-turned to look at the new kid. My eyes went so wide that I was surprised that they hadn't popped out their sockets. Sitting there, right behind me was the guy who had appeared in my bathroom. His sapphire-like eyes gazing admiringly at me and a small smile fixed on his face. I quickly turned back around and faced the front of the class-already feeling his icy blue eyes on my back, I needed to get out of there. When Mr. Ransack managed to get everyone's attention Jenny turned around to face the front again.
'Paige...' Jenny whispered, in my ear. 'You should go for that guy, I wish I'd seen him sooner...he's fudging hot!' I wanted to giggle at how she managed to convert the F-word but I was too busy thinking about ways I could leave the class. I pretended that I was too focused on the lesson to listen to her but she continued to talk anyway. 'I wish I could see his eyes.'
'Wait-You can't see his eyes?' I questioned, glancing back and saw Ethan with his usual long ebony black hair but it was styled to where his bangs crossed his eyes, like one of those wanna-be skater boys. I watched him cautiously as he obediently jotted down the notes that Mr. Ransack was writing down on the board. He peeped up at me and mimed my love. I sneered at him before turning around to face the front, my arms folded tightly against my chest. I focused on the examples that Mr. Ransack was showing us. My hand moved across the page of my notebook as I scribbled down the notes.
'Class, please start on your work right away.' He wrote down the assignment on the board and like he mentioned, I began right away.
When the lesson was finally over; Jenny closed her book before turning to face me. 'I think I want to hook up with Ethan.' She smiled as she glanced back at him. 'I really think he's my kind of guy.'
'Well, good luck with that, Jen.' I chuckled, If only she knew. 'Have fun, my friend.' I packed my stuff up and was the first to leave when the bell rang for our break. I headed straight to the library to do some research on my assignment. I needed to get my working game on because right now I was kind of failing classes and my volleyball coach warned me many times that if the grades slip-I'll lose my place on the team.
Suddenly someone stood by my desk and asked. 'Can I used your calculator real quick?' I looked up to see Erik towering over me with all his awesomeness, staring down at me with those handsome brown eyes and his killer smile. I nodded absent-mindedly and handed him the calculator.
'Thanks, Paige...' He then walked away back to his table. I smiled to myself before getting back to my research despite the fact I couldn't focus because I still had that killer smile plastered in my head and his wonderful brown eyes. He knew my name too.
'Paige!' Jenny yelled, receiving a hissed 'shush' from the Liberian.
I snapped out of my daze and looked over at her. 'Yeah?'
'Ew...' Jenny grimaced. 'You're drooling.'
I quickly wiped my mouth to find that it was completely dry and I sent her a glare. 'Ha Ha, very funny.' I muttered sarcastically.
I glanced up at the clock to see how much time there was left of recess, two minutes; I logged off the computer and put my textbooks into my backpack. I went over to Erik's table to get my calculator back and placed it in my backpack. I left the library and made my way to the canteen to get something to eat. I felt something grab my wrist and as fast as lightening I was in a dark room. I was about to scream when the light flickered on. Ethan towered over me, his body pressed against mine despite the large amount of space around us. I stepped backwards and sat on the box of cleaning products-I should've seen this coming.
'Hello Paige...' Ethan smiled, that deep velvet voice that was music to my ears. I looked up at him, unable to talk. 'Well...aren't you going to say something?' I dropped my bag on the floor and stood up still keeping the distance between us.
'Nope...' I sighed, with a casual look on my face.
His smile dropped. 'Why not?'
“Because...” I picked up my backpack and made it to the door before he grabbed my arm and pulled me back. His eyes were filled with both concern and lust.
'Don't tell me you're mad...?'
'About what?' I decided to play dumb; I gazed curiously into his eyes, trying not to be fazed by them.
“You know what.” Ethan growled, holding tighter onto my arm.
I snatched my arm out of his grip. 'I don't recall.' I opened the door and bumped right into Jenny. The bell rang; I looked behind me to see that Ethan must have slipped by.
'What the heck were you doing in the closet, Paige?' Jenny demanded, as we pushed and shoved through the crowded corridor. 'And how do you know Ethan?'
'Slow down...' I sighed, when we were in an empty hallway. 'Okay, first of all-I don't know him-at all.' I paused for a moment. I couldn't just tell her that this guy had randomly appeared in my bathroom, when the only thing I had on was a towel-Ooh and he has wings too but somehow he manages to hide them...under his shirt maybe? Jenny would probably think I was crazy. “We just happened to bump into each other and he laughed at me and three, there's absolutely nothing going on between us-so go for it.”
“Alrighty then...” Jenny grinned, from ear to ear. “I'll see you at lunch-Bye!” she then raced down the hall to her next lesson.
Chuckling to myself and not paying attention I ended up bumping into someone-again.
"Sorry I didn't..." I stopped once I saw his face and smiled, "MATT!" I nearly tackled him onto the ground, when I gave him a hug and he laughed. Matt was like the brother I never had, he always knew how to make me laugh and cheer me up whenever I'm down. I've known him since I was in my mother's womb-metaphorically.
"Calm down, calm down." He chuckled, hugging me.
I pulled away to look at his face and asked, "So you're back?"
He nodded, “Yeah,” He grinned; setting me on my feet after the airlifting hug he gave me. “I'm back.”
