"Now I want everyone to get settled down please." Mrs Lauren Carey, our history teacher said as her green eyes seemed to widen, as if dating us to disobey her. Sophie and I chuckled as we hurried to sit on the front row. Sitting at the back was not an option, with Mrs Carey forming the habit of lowering her voice whenever the room was too loud.
There was a commotion at the back. Mrs Carey began the lecture but it seemed everyone cared less about the lecture. Sophie strained her neck to see what the problem was, I rolled my eyes as she rubbed her neck. "What seems to be the matter I wonder." I grinned as she huffed, not wanting Mrs Carey to tag her as one of the students who behaved as they liked in class. As I was about to say something to Sophie, a deep male voice said almost touching my ears, "Is this seat taken?". I turned, irritated that I was interrupted by God knows who only to stare wide eyed at an angelic face. He had deep blue eyes that seemed to want to pull you in deeper and deeper until you want to rush out for air. His hair was incredible dark, so dark that you'd assume it was night and not ten am in the morning.
"Well?". His voice sounded impatient. He looked at me expectantly,his hands holding the back of the seat. Sophie then answered for me, after having adjusted her tops so her round breasts could be seen visibly, "Have a seat handsome." She said this, winking at him. Blue eyed boy smiles with no sign of gratitude in his expression, then seats as he brought out a notebook. It took time for me to recollect myself and soon I found myself disliking him. I stared daggers with my side eye as everyone began pointing at our direction. He didn't seem to like the attention as he rolled his eyes, his face fixed on Mrs Carey who had gone far in her lecture. I don't know how Sophie can be distracted and still be focused but she had written most of Mrs Carey's explanation and boy was I grateful. There was no time for slacking, forget cute hot boys who tend to leave you speechless, on top of that he was so full of himself. As Mrs Carey moved to close her lecture notes, she smiled at him, "Will you introduce yourself dear." Well, that seems too intimate. Not that I'm assuming they are an item, that would be too dark. Sure enough he stood up, adjusting his black leather jacket. His face seemed to be saying, "Let's just get this over with." "River Carey." As he said this, he immediately say down while the rest of the class began talking amongst themselves. I spotted one girl trying to get his attention from where she was seated.
It hurt to see my fellow gender behave in such an abandoned way. Sophie nudged me, "I'm going to offer to show him around." "I don't think that is..." Before I could finish my sentence, Sophie quickly raised her hands. "Mrs Carey I'd very much like to show River around." Mrs Carey smiled, nods her approval. She dismisses the class, that is after giving us an herculean assignment. Then it hit me. Earlier on, blue eyed boy introduced himself as River Carey. I gasped, could they be related? It's possible they just happen to have the same surname, right?.
Sophie smiled on seeing River still remained spotted while everyone got up to leave. A group of girls hurried to his side, that is until Sophie gives them one of those her terrifying death girls that makes them scamper off. Sophie clicks her tongue as she places her books in her bag, "I detest desperate girls." I laughed at this, "Like you are any different." My eyes widened, I said that out loud. Sophie then began hitting my arm, "How can you say that." I groaned, placing a hand on my sore arm. That is until River says, God how can a person's voice be so deep and soothing at the same time. My mind began to wander as I imagined him nude in my arms, whispering sweet nothings in my flushed ear. I gasped, shaking my head from such thoughts which would never happen. I turned to River and flinched as our eyes jammed. "Uhmm can we begin now, I've got to be somewhere soon." He said this, his blue eyes leaving mine to meet Sophie's who seemed to be blushing. "Of course River, sorry for the delay. My name's Sophie by the way." River gives a short nod, as he slung his black bag across his shoulder. This gave me a perfect view of his perfect frame. He seemed to like black, giving his outfit had no other bright colour. Or maybe that's his outfit for today. As we left the lecture hall, I smiled at Sophie whose eyes seemed to be drinking in Rivers body. "I'll see you later then.". As Sophie was about to reply, River looked at me, his expression unreadable. "Join us." Huh?, what the... The air was silent as Sophie looked between me and River, our gazes never wavering. Sophie then rushed to our middle, laughing forcefully as she patted his chest, "Yes yes, let's begin then ha ha." I frowned at him as he grinned then began walking along side Sophie who began showing him the cafeteria, boy did she love to eat. There was no surprise there and I soon found myself smiling as I walked behind them. As Sophie talked, River turns to look at me. His eyes looking me up from head to toe before turning to Sophie. What's up with this dude?, I thought as we made our way into the library.
"Cressie and I first met in college in this library.". Sophie said, trying to include me which I had no interest in being included. River then looks at me, his eyes looking deep into mine which only infuriated me. " I noticed her blonde hair, the sun seemed to hit it at the perfect time." Sophie grinned as I rolled my eyes at her comment. "I've got this connection with blondes and so I wanted her to be my friend." As she said this I recalled how she places a book on the table were I was reading. I looked up to see a black brunette girl, waving enthusiastically at me. I looked at my left, then my right, then at her, pointing at myself until she smiles widely at me. We sat there, reading quietly. I could feel her staring which made me uncomfortable.
As I motioned to stand up and leave, she hurries with her bag as I quickly returned the book I was reading to the shelf and heading out of the library. She manages to catch up with me, her breathing heavily I almost felt sorry-ish. "I'm Sophie Dan, we are offering the same course History." "Oh" I give a short reply, not knowing what to say. "I was hoping we could hang out sometime." I shifted at this. Not only was Sophie a stalker, she was also lesbian. Sophie then noticed my mood.The girl is smart cause she figured out her words and quickly said, "I meant as friends.". I relaxed at this, though I wasn't in desperate need of a friend, Sophie seemed to want one.
"It's huge." River says, looking around. Sophie smiles sweetly at him, "You can check it out later, let's carry on.". As Sophie motioned for them to leave, River's eyes meet mine and I find myself wanting him. Why the hell was I feeling this way?, I've got to pluck out those eyes of his.
