Chapter 1
"Hi, my name is Bubbles." she said.
"Um, hey… I'm-" I forgot my own name just as I looked into her eyes. But then I fixed my gaze just below her eyes and managed to say, "Er, Boomer. My name's Boomer."
"Okay. Hi, Boomer." she said cheerfully. "Hey, can you help me get to Room 10? I'm kind of new here, and it's my next class. English."
So she was one of the new students. Her sisters and her had just arrived. As everyone said, she was very pretty. Her body was curvy in all the right places. She was delicate, but not fragile. I could see lean muscles in her arms. Her lips were full and smooth and soft, and stretched into a friendly smile with straight, white teeth. I saved her eyes for last, because they were what stopped my heart and interrupted my train of thought, as I had learned the second I met her.
Her eyes were almond-shaped and blue, framed with long, thick black lashes. They were staring at me with unreadable expression. The shade of blue of her irises reminded me of a summer afternoon in the park.
Then she shifted her weight. Her eyes were suddenly illuminated with warm sunlight that shone through the trees on campus, showing off all the different blues in her eyes, making me think not of a clear sky, but of shallow seawater.
Bubbles. Was. Beautiful.
