"I think they're dead."

Eli thought about that sentence. Being a hearse-driving, black-clothed "goth," it was a pretty appropriate thing for him to say.

Death. It just figured that the first words he spoke at his new school had to refer to death. Well, it would just help his classmates come to their stereotypical, unoriginal opinions even faster.

Eli wondered if the girl in front of him found this as amusing as he did. He risked a glance at her.

If there was a God, he was definitely one for sick jokes. He had to be, if he was willing to put this girl—this breathtaking girl—right in front of him.

Dangling her in front of him like this, teasing him and flaunting what He knew Eli couldn't have…But he wanted her. Yes, more than anything. Her creamy porcelain skin. He imagined touching that soft skin. And those curls—they enclosed her perfect face like a picture frame.

"It's okay. I…uh…don't need them anymore. I got laser surgery."

Eli let his eyes catch hers and couldn't help himself.

"You have pretty eyes."

He couldn't believe he'd said that. Doomed. He was doomed and he knew it.

She parted her perfect lips and smiled.

"Thanks. I'll…uh…see you around?"

Was that a question? Is she blushing? Does he actually have a chance with this girl?

Smooth. He had to play it smooth.

"Guess you will."

Eli walked into the house—a house that was not a home yet.

"Hey baby boy."

Eli looked over to his mother sipping coffee at the kitchen table.

"How was school? Anything catch your interest yet?"

Eli threw his car keys on the kitchen counter and thought about the girl. He smirked.

"You could say that."
