I do not own Degrassi, or any of the characters.

I looked at him. I didn't know his name but, for that moment, it didn't seem to matter. I didn't need to know who he was to know that he had me stumbling over my words.

"Got.. l-laser surgery."

He stared at me intensely and sort of half smiled.

"You have pretty eyes." He said it with such sincerity. It was a though he was simply stating a fact, not trying to get anywhere or pull anything.

"Thanks. I'll, uh, see you around?"

"Guess you will." And with that, he smiled a smile I knew I would crave, and climbed back into his hearse.


He was so straight forward, so unlike anyone I had ever met.

He was also infuriating. Yet, every time I looked at him I wanted to smile. It was the way he talked liked everything he said was the truth and there was no disputing it. It was how when he laughed I always wanted to laugh along, even when he was laughing at me.

But it was something else too, like the way his soul shines through his skin. That with every smile and every smirk he made me feel elated and special, as though every moment we spent together was wonderful to him.

He was mysterious and dark but his eyes were clear and happy. He made me feel as though he could see right into my soul and he loved what he saw there.

He made my feel everything a hundred times stronger than ever before. And that was what scared me. Because if I allowed myself to fall for him, it would be a hundred times harder. And if he ripped my heart out, it would hurt a hundred times more.
