My New High School Experience

3

When he walked in, I felt my heart stop. His black hair was styled to perfect, shortish on the sides and slightly longer in the front. A strand dangling in front of his bright blue eyes. The temptation of moving was there, as my finger twitched. A perfect nose, that was over perfect soft looking lips. His jaw was sharp, but perfect. Reminded me of Henry Cavill, but younger. His body fit him too, larger shoulders, slender male model bod. He looked breathtaking. Like is he a real person? Well he would have to be, right?

He smiled as he made his way into the classroom, he radiated strength and power. I could have sworn all the other students leaned their head to the side when he passed. Strange..then he sat down. Next to me! Shivering with how close he was, I glanced up to look at his face. Hoping to admire him while he watched the teacher move across the front of the classroom.

Bingo! He is! So I let my eyes follow every curve, bulge, and every ounce of skin that was being shown around his tight dark gray t-shirt. A part of me was jealous of the fabric that was able to hold him so close. Ooh, your acting stupid Lovey. Like how could a guy this hot ever look at you the way you're looking at him. He is way out of my league. I bet a hundred dollars that he’s dating the head cheerleader.

“Are you perving on me?” His voice was like honey.

Wait what did he say? Fudge! Turning my head so fast I felt a snap, my face was red as a watermelon. There’s no hope for me now. I was just caught ogling him. He must think I’m some crazy fan of his waiting to jump him. I bet that’s how Noah felt when I told him the same thing.

“I was only teasing.” He whispered, while leaning closer.

He is driving my body insane! I swear I could feel an electric pulse between us, and it only got worse when he moved closer. Nodding my head, like an i***t. I looked up at the teacher to see he already started writing on the board.

“We will be learning about punctuation this week. There will be a test at the end of the week, so please try to study, class.” Mr. Short said before he made a few sentences on the board about all the different kinds of punctuation ways.

My body finally relaxed, maybe an inch when Mr. Short said, “I’ll be passing a worksheet around. It requires two students and you need to find all the mistakes in this essay. Think of it like your a publisher.”

Great! Already an assignment where I have to partner up. The papers were being passed back words, so I had to stretch a whole seat to grab mine. Feeling eyes on me, I looked backwards to see him looking straight at my b*tt. Blushing, I sat down and acted like I was reading the essay.

“Do you mind, if we partner up?” He asked me. Making my blush burn brighter, as I nod my head in a sign for yes.

“Perfect” Is all I hear before my desk is getting dragged across the floor and towards him. Freaking out, I stair up to apologize to Mr. Short but he wasn’t even phased. He was just sitting at his desks working on paperwork again. Sighing, I look over at my new partner. His eyes were glowing with amusement. As I thought that there would be some angry girl in here about to make remarks about this hot man picking me as his partner. But it was surprisingly quiet.

“I’m Leo, by the way.” He said while pulling out a pencil from his pocket. He better be careful carrying pencils like that, he might get hurt or sit on it wrong.

“Lovey, I don’t think it’s very safe carrying pencils in your pocket like that.” I told him while staring at the pencil like it might bite.

Chuckling, he says, “You're already trying to tell me how to be more careful.” As he shook his head.

What does he mean by that? I was just to let him know that it's not safe. Anyways, I want to get this essay taken care of. “So do you see any mistakes yet?” I asked while staring at the paper in front of both of us.

He seemed to understand that I wanted to get the paper out of the way, as he sat up straighter. While somehow leaning closer to me, as he reads the essay. Every once in a while he’d put it down to write on it, before he brought it back up again. Then he says, “Here yah go.” As he passes the paper to me. Amazed that he was making corrections like a champ. Being a lover of books, I was always fond of English. So I knew what we were expecting before I entered this classroom, but to have a jock like handsome man to get all the correct answers had me staring into his eyes with shock.

Smirking he said, “You didn’t think I was smart enough to finish that. Did you?” before he let out a chuckle.

“Well..I..I mean, sort of.” I replied with complete misunderstanding of this poor brilliant man.

“At least you're honest. So I was hoping to ask you some..”

BRING! BRING!

The sound of the bell stopped him in his tracks as I put everything back in my bag. I scouted my desk back to normal and walked up with both our papers. Putting it in the stack, I walk out. Feeling super nervous. What the heck was he going to say?

The rest of my morning classes went by surprisingly fast, as I put all my belongings up. I head out the classroom and towards the cafeteria. Walking in you can clearly see that there is a packing order. The nerds, the goths, the jocks and cheerleaders, then the loners, it was sad that schools still had dynamics like this. When can you all get along? Shaking my head I made it into line. Picking up a tray I put a cup of fruit, a slice of pepperoni pizza, and garlic cheese sticks. Telling the lady at the end my lunch number, I walked to a table that was deserted.

Saying a silent prayer, I stabbed a piece of strawberry and plop it in my mouth. Mmmm! “Mind if I join you?” Leo said from behind me.

Turning around I blink a few times before saying, “Sure, as long as your girlfriend doesn’t try killing me.” Before I went back for another strawberry.

Chuckling, he said “Well you don’t have to worry about that. I’m single.”

Eyes wide, I say “How?”

Causing another laugh to slip past those soft delicious lips of his, “Because I’m saving myself for the one. What about you?” His eyes seemed to darken as he wanted for my response.

“Well I find that very considerate of you to think that way. I guess we both will have to wait for our true soulmates.” I tell him while lifting my pizza to my mouth. Just cause he looks like a guy that watches his weight and works out, I’m not going to pretend that I don’t love food. Food is my soulmate! But he didn’t look that disgusted with me, as I took a huge bite.

Mmmm! What do they do to this food to make it taste so freaking good! His fork he was just lifting to his mouth paused as he looked at me. Eyes dark, and I swear I can hear a growl coming from somewhere. Looking around, I ask “Is there a dog in here?” As I look around, even ducking my head under the table to see if maybe Noah followed me. With a disappointed sigh, I went back to trying to eat.

“Why do you look so sad?” He asked instead while forking spaghetti in his mouth.

“I thought my Noah might have followed me here. I swear I heard him.” I said, sounding sadder by the second. Why have I grown so close to him? I guess maybe I was just so lonely that I didn’t get to have a bond until he showed up.

I heard slight choking, swinging my head up I saw that it was Leo choking. Standing up, I went behind him. Smacking his back, I managed to get whatever it was to go down. “Are you alright? I’m going to get you some water.”

In a rush, I grabbed a cold bottle of water out of this huge white tub like thing and ran back over. Opening it, I hand it out to him. “Here, try taking a sip.” I told him while reclaiming my seat, while rubbing his back. That must have been scary.

“Thank you. You just surprised me, that's all.” He said while taking another sip.

“How so?” I asked while pulling my hand away from his very built back. I needed to be here to help him, not to jump him.

“Well who is Noah?” He asked while reaching over and grabbing one of my garlic cheese sticks. That turd.

“Noah, is my dog. I love him so much, but I just found him last night. You should see him, he’s huge! But beautiful.” I said while smiling big, thinking about my new friend. Oh Noah, I hope your being a good boy for mom.

“Yeah” he said while grinning widely. “You love him?”

“Well yeah! I may have just met the cutie, but he’s going to be mine forever! I just hope he doesn’t belong to anyone else.” I said with sadness coating my voice.

“Well I know everyone here, and their pets. So what does he look like? I bet I can tell you if he does or not.” Leo says while smiling. Like he knows something I don’t.

It feels so weird. I guess meeting Noah last night has me making a friend already. I bet my mom is going to be thrilled! Until she finds out it's a guy. “Well he’s all black with long soft fur, adorable pointed ears, blue eyes that shine, and a massive body. Like he hogged the whole bed last night.” laughing at the memory of me having to push him over, for him to just lap on top of my chest. Silly big goof.

“Nope, don’t believe he belongs to anyone. So just keep him. Plus I doubt he’s that big.” He said about Noah being a hog. Almost looking offended by it.

“Yay!” I get to keep him! First, buy a collar. Second two bowls, a dog bed, and dog brush as he’ll need a good brushing from time to time.

BRING! BRING!
