The first day of school arrived, along side a strong wind, lightning, and drops of rain falling from the sky. While I was running through the rain towards my school, I thought of how nice it would have been to stay in my comfy bed. If it hadn't been September first I totally would have but come on, get real, you can't skip school on the first day! My mom would have killed me. Actually she probably would have dragged my ass to school to collect my books and then killed me. My mom was totally over protective and really well-mannered. If I tried to skip school and she actually found out, she would lecture me about how children shouldn't skip school and how she had found school interesting and went there every morning with pleasure. She could be really weird at times.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA0oJH4hvi
Anyway I reached the old school house. There were a lot of other students hurrying inside. The floor was so slippery from all my schoolmates walking on it with wet boots 842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7txT7YgfnJ
I almost fell. I didn't fall on my ass and embarrass myself though because somebody caught me and held me upwards.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRHlVbSVNI
“Thanks,” I turned and was face to face with the boy I had met on the beach that silent and beautiful summer night. Realization washed over both of us. My jaw almost dropped and he was surprised also. He quickly let go of my waist where he had placed his strong hand to kept me from falling.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOlCKPwcAa
He looked a lot better than I remembered. His black wavy hair was recently trimmed and there wasn't a sign of suffering or sadness visible anywhere in his gorgeous eyes. For a brief second I wondered if it really was him. He didn't look like just a week ago he was ready to kill himself. 842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YtzhszSDT
Besides the surprise of our meeting I was also mesmerized by his eyes. They were, at least in my opinion, his best feature. I could just get lost in those brown eyes and not notice the people around me. The fact that I barely remembered that I had only two minutes until the bell rang and the first class of the day began proved this very well. 842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VljSesVYH
He found his voice before I did. “Be careful.” He wasn't wearing a jacket. Was he a student there? How could I not have noticed him for the whole year I spent in the school?842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7n36O0553
He began walking away from me. For some reason I just wanted him to stay with me for just one more minute. “Wait.” I called after him. He turned towards me waiting for me to say something else. “I ahh….I am….. aah… I was just wondering. You must be new here. Would you like a tour of the house.” God, I sounded totally lame! What if he wasn't new and I had just been self-centered and not noticed him.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIzFMoLSWA
“I believe class is about to start and no thank you. The teacher has already shown me around.”842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyTTLS8LvM
So he was new around here. His voice came out deep and velvety. What was I thinking? What was the matter with me all of a sudden? Never before had I thought about how boys sounded or what there eyes were like. Actually Carmen always said my lack of interest in boys should be considered a sin. Was this some sort of a new illness I hadn't heard of? Wait. Class was about to start? I hadn't even taken off my soaked jacket.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhrMlD5qjQ
I was determined not to make a fool out of myself in front of … I didn't even know his name. And I was also determined not to be late to class. I took of running in the direction of the classroom. When I stopped outside the classroom door to catch my breath and then walked inside.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d1Xu7fKmC
Carmen was already in her seat at the back of the class. Almost all the other tables had been filled but there was an empty seat next to Carmen. Nobody had tried to claim my seat. I was happy I didn't have to suffer the rest of the year in the front row of the desks just because I had been tardy on the first day.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfH9wcUOKM
I stuffed the textbooks on my desk into my bag and then plopped down onto my seat. 842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVujXWh69j
“Hey stranger. Long time no see.“ Carmen's statement was true. We hadn't seen each other for about six weeks. Carmen had some relatives in England and she had spent a good chunk of the holiday there.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wxe1a6gOI
“Hello Carmen.” I had missed her but right now my mind was elsewhere. With a certain boy.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TPqGeT07D
“Wow Lizzie. I can just hear the excitement in your voice.” Carmen remarked sarcastically. She was right again, which for her must have been a new record.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRcW6qBKdR
I had known Carmen since the fifth grade but she had changed dramatically in the last few years. Now she was a slim and pretty girl whom all the boys desired. I often wondered, if I hadn't known her when we both were pretty much invisible to boys and Carmen's biggest worry was finding a date to the annual school dance, would I have thought she was just a stuck up beauty who had an easy life just because she had good looks. 842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyV9sS5DXS
She had dyed her hair blond, straightened and cut so it fell graciously on her petite shoulders. Her light blue eyes were always heavily coated in eyeliner and mascara, her lips in red or pink lip gloss. In the summer between middle school and high school she must have lost ten pounds. I hadn't seen her that summer so it was safe to say I had been shocked and that, along with all the boys finally drooling over her made her day. Sometimes I wondered why she was still my friend. I wasn't prettier than other girls in the school and I certainly wasn't popular with the guys. Not a lot of girls liked Carmen because they saw her as competition and because she could befriend any guy in the school.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhNoLDLIZG
The teacher, Mr Brown, came into the classroom and started giving us his annual first school day speech. I had heard it the year before. He drowned on about how the summer was over and we better start studying hard.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBBCXCQCSA
I was looking out of the window and dozing off when I heard the words 'new student' from the teacher's mouth. I looked up and saw him, Adam, as Mr Brown introduced him. I can't believe he was in my class. I felt just as I had when we had met this morning. Speechless, mesmerized. Before I had just been looking at his face and eyes. Now I got a good look at his body. He was well built. Not a beefcake but not slim by any means. Just the right amount of muscle.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADNYVjamyj
When the teacher told him to take a sit and I finally came out of my trance, I noticed all the other girls staring at him hungrily. Even Carmen seemed to like what she saw, and believe me her standards were high. Had I looked like them a moment ago? Ready to drool over him? I was embarrassed by the thought alone. I would not act like another fan girl, I decided right then and there.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM6t6Bh1kK
