Jade sighed as she sat down at a desk in the far back corner of the room. She flipped her long, silky, black hair over her shoulder and took a sip of her coffee, staring at the clock over the classroom door. It was 7:26, which meant the day would be over in exactly 7 hours and 4 minutes. And after that only 8 more months of this torture! Wow, optimism was not her thing. She was dreading the first day of school even more than she had been previously, if that was possible. At least she wasn't a freshman any more, that had been terrible. People might finally give her the respect she deserved, and not just because she carried scissors around and had the body of a Victoria's Secret Angel.
The class was slowly filling up. The students varied between the two extremes of creepily excited and morbidly depressed. Jade knew which category she would fall in. Finally the teacher came in, and Jade adjusted her short grey skirt and sat up taller. Just as the teacher, Mr. Thornton who taught advanced literature, was shutting the door, a boy slipped in just after the bell rang.
It was far from subtle when every girl in the room immediately stared at him, eyes wide, hypnotized by his good looks. Jade couldn't disagree, this guy was tall, tan, and had some seriously prefect chin length hair that was begging her to run her fingers through it. But she found it disgusting how all these idiotic girls were acting like they had never seen an attractive guy before. Beck Oliver was one of the most irritating people she knew, and no matter how great his hair was that didn't change his personality. Or should she say his lack of one.
"Sorry, sorry I can explain." Beck said, completely out of breath.
Well this should be interesting, Jade thought to herself. She couldn't wait to hear what could've gone wrong in pretty boy's perfect little life.
"No thank you, Mr. Oliver. You've already delayed the entire class so there's no need to make these innocent students wait any longer for you now is there?"
Jade couldn't mask her smile as Beck shook his head, defeated.
"Well stop just standing there! Or do your legs not work? Is that why you were late? You may need to see a doctor." Mr. Thornton continued to rant and Beck just shook his head again indicating that his legs were fine. "Oh so that's not the issue here? Then you must be blind because there is obviously an open desk next to Ms. West! I strongly advise that you sit there within the next five seconds or you'll be spending a lot more time there in detention later!"
Jade bit down on her tongue to hide her laughter as Beck casually sat down. He stared straight ahead at the board as the rest of the class moved on to the boring first day lecture. Jade wasn't paying attention though; she was waiting to see what Beck would do next. After waiting the entire class, he still hadn't reacted. And this was exactly what irritated her about him. He was a cold hard stone, freaking emotionless. Ever since she met him last year (well not exactly met, more like she poured her coffee on him for hitting on her best friend, Cat) she had never seen him with any emotion. When he acted it was incredible, but in real life he was a boring, blank slate, and nothing ever seemed to rattle him. He was so opposite from Jade it frustrated her. I mean she poured hot coffee on him and he did nothing! He was such a mystery, and yet he wasn't. He was as clear as his locker, but there wasn't anything to see.
Or so she thought.
