Color Chapter 1

The Boy

Finally I heard the bell; I picked up my stuff quickly and ran. I didn’t go straight to my next class. I couldn’t, instead I ran to the nearest bathroom. I cried, I cried hard. Once I was done I carried on like nothing was wrong. The bell already rang so I was late, but since it’s the first day of school it doesn’t matter if you’re late.
I scanned my map once more, I had Science. Conveniently it was only a couple doors down from the bathroom. I ran to the class, I slowly opened the door. Everyone turned their heads. This classroom was weird because the teacher made it so that all the students could see one another when they were sitting. I sat down in the only empty seat I saw. I wasn’t really listening but I did hear that the teachers name was Joy Bloom. I looked around once more. But what I saw I couldn’t describe in words.
Sitting across from me was the most beautiful guy I’ve ever seen. His jawline was sharp and his eyebrows were thick and defined. His lips were perfect, and so was his physique. He was all muscles, and his eyes… I actually saw the color… But I don’t see color. Not anymore, so how is this possible? His eyes were light blue, around the edges waved green spirals that complimented his long and thick eyelashes.
I couldn’t stop staring, I saw color. I actually saw color!
“Adam?” “Present.” His voice was low and husky, it was mysterious and sexy. “Sky” the teacher called. “Present” I said quietly. Adam looked at me and a smirk appeared on his face. Crap! He caught me starring… I quickly looked down; I already could tell I was blushing.
I don’t remember anything we talked about in science class. Because the whole time I was staring at Adam; starring at his flawlessness. Suddenly the bell rang, when he got up I saw how tall he was, he must have been over 6 feet. He was gorgeous, he walked towards the door and for a split second he looked at me. He actually looked at me!
I quickly got up and ran out the door, I snapped back into reality again. My next class is Language Arts, I quickly looked at the map, and it was actually quite close to this class. I started walking towards my next class when I noticed Adam was going in the same direction as me.
Could we have another class together? I hoped he was in my class, because his blue eyes are the best thing I’ve seen in a while. I was holding my breath when the Language Arts classroom was in my sight. I saw him walk straight for the door, please oh please be in my class! I said under my breath. To my amazement he walked in the classroom. I was almost exited; I could almost feel again, but not entirely, maybe not at all. I sat down in an open seat in the back; I could see Adam Talking with the teacher. I stared at him I couldn’t look away. I was waiting for him to turn around; I just wanted to see his beautiful eyes. Finally he slowly turned around he was walking towards me. I looked around but there was nobody even near me. But he couldn’t be coming to talk to me, I’m a loser. He kept walking towards me, I started to sweat. He was so close to reaching me, but then he stopped.
He slowly slid into the seat next to me! I could feel my heart pounding in my chest; I could feel my face getting hot. He slowly cocked his head to look at me. He stared at me, and I stared at him. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever. How has the bell not rang yet? Everything seemed to go in slow motion, time stopped, I almost felt something. But I’m not sure what it was. Then he spoke.
“Hi my names Adam, what’s yours?” He said with a slight smile on his face. “Um hi, my name is sky.” I said nervously. “Well Sky, it’s nice to meet you.” “It’s ni- but then the worst thing possible happened. Class started, the loud bell rang and the teacher began to speak.
“Hello class my name is Mrs. Daisy and I will be your teacher this year.” She kept talking, and talking, and talking. And Adam listened to every word, he was the perfect student. I was amazed by him, his eyes, his body, his friendliness. I was in awe; sitting next to me was the perfect guy, with the perfect blue eyes.
Class dragged on, but I didn’t mind it because I got to sit next to Adam. When the bell rang he smiled at me and left. I desperately wanted to catch up to him and keep talking. But as he ran, a huge group of girls and guys circled around him and started talking. My perfect guy is popular, now I definitely have no chance with him. And I could tell all of the girls liked him, because they were all batting their eyelashes waiting for him to notice them.
I wanted him to be mine, to not have to have that kind of competition. But I had to move on; he’d never choose me out of all those perfect girls. I frowned and looked for my next class. I had French, so I looked at the map. This is great; my French class was on the other side of the school! I ran as fast as I could I was fighting to beat the bell. I could sense that students and teachers were staring at me. But I didn’t really care. I reached the class just as the bell rang, I looked around and to my amazement Adam was sitting in the corner talking with a group of jocks. I was stunned out is it possible that we have so many classes together?
Of course I didn’t mind, I loved staring at his blue eyes, he was the only thing I could see color in. I sat down in the far corner and stared at him the entire class time. When the bell rang it felt like only 2 minutes had passed by. As I got up I tripped and fell over. My books spilled all over the floor. I could hear that the stuck up girls were all laughing. My cheeks flushed, I suddenly got really hot.
“Cassie, Lacy, don’t laugh it’s not funny.” Said Adam, then he walked over to me. “Are you okay? You took quite a fall.” He gave me a smirk, a nice, kind, smirk. I was so stunned at what just happened. He stuck up for me? For a lonely loser like me? I was speechless; I finally managed to get some words out. “I’m fine, thanks.” He helped me pick up my books, and then he gave them to me, winked, and ran off with his many friends.
I was surprised, a popular, hot guy, just stuck up for me. It made no sense, but that didn’t matter. I already knew he was perfect, just not that perfect. My next class was lunch, which I guess isn’t really a class. I had packed a cold lunch for myself, just a PB & J sandwich and an apple. I slowly walked to the cafeteria; I instantly saw all the stereotypical groups. The populars, jocks, nerds, weirdos, hotties, it goes on forever. This is the moment I was dreading most, because I had nobody to sit with. I really was just a loser.
I slowly walked to the very back of the cafeteria, everyone was talking and socializing. But not me, I didn’t have any friends. Unless myself counted, which it doesn’t. I sat in the last table, it was completely empty. This is where I belong; I sat down and began to eat my sandwich. I scanned the room for Adam, I saw him sitting with some jocks and some really pretty girls. The whole time I watched him, when he laughed I almost smiled, almost.
When lunch finally ended I kept watching him, because I couldn’t seem to take my eyes off of him. I watched him until he was out of my sight. At least I survived my first day of lunch. My next class was Health, I really hate health. I found the classroom quickly and swiftly. I sat down in the very back, in hopes nobody would notice me. I saw Adam walk in the classroom and join his friends. How is this possible, another class together? Is this fate, no, of course it isn’t fate. A popular guy like that doesn’t date a loser like me. It’s just not reality; it’s not how the world works.
All we did in health class was receiving books with way too many visuals. All I did was staring at the perfectness that is Adam. I couldn’t help it, he was just so perfect, and he even had a good personality. Which is really hard to find in a guy.
All of a sudden the bell rang, it only felt like it had been 10 seconds, I was caught in a daydream. I was with Adam, and we were on a very romantic date on the lake. I got up from my seat, still in a haze from the daydream.
