Avery's POV: I walk into my first class that Declan just escorted me to. I look up to see a smiling face waving me over to sit next to him. A flush of relief runs through my whole body. Thanks to Declan I already know someone and it's making me immediately feel less uncomfortable. I don't feel so much like an outsider now. I can't help but scan his body as I notice him doing the same. He looks so sexy with his tight black shirt and ripped jeans. Is Pace the school's bad boy? I wonder as I notice his leather jacket hanging on the back of his chair. Why does that turn me on? s**t! Why do I feel guilty thinking about him? I sit down next to Pace right before noticing all of the girls and some guys looking at him. I can't blame them, honestly. He is captivating and mysterious in a dark way
