Chapter Three: Beautiful Brown Eyes

"It was nice to meet you too Emily." I responded turning my cart to my car. "See you Quil. Bye Claire." I called out. I heard muffled replies as I made my way to my car.

The weekend flew by in a blur of putting the finishing touches on the house, preparing for school, and resting. When Monday came I was filled with a mixture of excitement and nerves. I was excited to be getting out of the house and meeting new people but at the same I was nervous about meeting those new people. I was also afraid that today was going to be stressful. I'm not one for a lot of attention drawn to me, and going into a small school where everyone knew each other since they were in kindergarten made it more likely that a new girl, aka me was going to cause a lot of attention.

I grabbed my bag and walked into the kitchen where my dad was drinking a cup of coffee. I gave him a kiss and grabbed an apple. "Morning, sweetie. Do you want me to drive you to school?" he asked. I gave him a smile.

"No I'm just going to walk. It's not that far." He gave me a smile.

"Alright, good luck at school." He called to me as I started to walk out the door.

"I will. Love you." I called back to him. I heard him say he loved me back before I closed the door and started my walk to school.

It was a pleasant walk. There were woods framing each side of the road making me smile. It looked so magical in there. I still hadn't found the time to go exploring past the first few feet surrounding my backyard and I resolved to go on a hike over the weekend.

Finally I reached the school, and I saw several groups hanging out around the doors. Taking a deep breath I walked up the steps glad that no one really noticed me. I walked into the office and quickly made my way over to the secretary's desk where a kind looking woman with graying hair was sitting. She looked at me with a warm and expectant smile.

"Hi my name is Karen Morella." I introduced myself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Karen, my name is Mrs. Trell. I have your schedule right here." She handed me a piece of paper. "Now our school is pretty small so you should be able to find your way around fairly easy." I nodded my head and gave her a smile. "If you have any questions feel free to ask anyone or you can come back here and I'll help you out." she offered with a smile.

"Thank you."

"You are very welcome. So just have each of your teachers sign this sheet of paper and turn it in at the end of the day." She said handing me another sheet of paper. I smiled and thanked her again before going back into the now crowded hallway and after a quick look at my watch and then my schedule, figured out that my next class was down the hall and I had about three minutes to get there.

I took a deep breath and walked into the hallway. As I made my way down the crowds started to thin out and I felt I could breathe a little more freely. I kept my back straight and tried to take in my surroundings so I could find my way through the school faster.

I was only about five rooms away from my classroom when I saw a large group of boys walking in the opposite direction as me. They all looked like they were brothers; all of them were tall, tanned, and had their hair cut short unlike many of the boys I had seen already who wore their hair long. They stood out apart from the other students, mostly because they all looked like models and I could see muscles hinted under their shirts. I wasn't going to lie they were good looking.

They were pushing each other around playfully, all of them laughing at some joke. I smiled and shook my head at their antics. I guess guys were the same no matter what school you went to, they always horsed around.

Then I felt a weird pull towards the back of a group. A boy who was looking at his friends, laughter shining in his eyes and his mouth set in a huge infectious grin. He looked much like the others only a slight bit shorter and he was gorgeous. Oh my gosh. He was drop. dead. gorgeous. Then he turned and my eyes met a pair of beautiful brown eyes that drew me in. The din of the hallway faded away until all that I knew was the beautiful brown eyes. I felt my feet still moving but I felt as if I was frozen. I only saw his eyes.

Then even the eyes seemed to fade into a background as I saw myself standing in front of my house staring up at him and he was looking down at me with that infectious smile that I had noticed on his face. And I saw us walk down the front steps to a couple; a beautiful girl her ebony hair cut short, her tan skin flawless, and her brown eyes looking up at the boy standing next to her with what could only be described as adoration. The boy was slightly taller than her with eyes a shade darker than hers; he had dark brown hair, and skin that was tan, but not like the girl's. He was looking at her with the same look and I felt this immense joy as I looked at them. Then the guy next to me twirled me into him and looked down at me like I was the only girl in the world.

Suddenly I was back in the hallway, the noise of the passing students blaring in my ears. I tore my gaze away from the boy with a small gasp and tried to recompose myself.

I think my mouth might have dropped open and it felt like I was staring at him forever but it must have only been a few seconds. Embarrassment flooded my cheeks.

Against my will I felt my eyes drawn back to the boy whose eyes had captivated me. I glanced at him out of the corner of my eyes. He was still staring at me like he had just been given the best gift. His mouth was slightly open and as we almost passed each other one of the guys seemed to notice his open mouth stare. I saw him ask the boy a quiet question and getting no response followed his line of sight. When he saw me I quickly ducked my head, my cheeks probably flaming and started walking quicker but not before I saw a wide grin spread across his face.

Quickly I ducked into my classroom and walked over to the teacher's desk letting out a breath I didn't know I had been holding. I handed my paper to him and after getting sorted out and going through the whole, "Oh, you're the new girl…where did you live before?" and all those wonderfully embarrassing questions, I took my seat and tried to follow along with the class, but my mind kept drifting back to the boy in the hallway and my… I didn't really know what it was…day dream…vision… I didn't know. I really must be going crazy. Thank goodness it was English, a class I was pretty good at, or I would have been so behind.

Finally the class was over and I gathered up my stuff and made my way out. As I was walking down the hallway I saw a couple of the tall muscled guys from earlier. One of them caught my eye and a wide grin broke out across his face as he turned to his friends, trying to secretly point me out to them. I quickly turned down one of the hallways in embarrassment.

After walking for a couple of feet I realized I had just lost my sense of direction. Serves me right. I try to avoid people and I get lost in a school where it's almost impossible to get lost. Just perfect. Quickly I turned around and after looking at the room numbers and taking one more wrong turn, I finally figured out the right direction. But by now most of the students had gone to class and I knew I had seconds to make it. I saw the room up ahead and walked towards it quickly, hoping that I would make it before the bell. Just as I stepped across the threshold the bell rang loudly. I let out a relieved sigh and made my way to the teacher's desk avoiding eye contact with what were soon to be my new classmates. I didn't want to have to meet their awkward curious stares.

The teacher looked up at me with a kind smile on his face as I handed him my paper. He signed it before addressing me.

"My name is Mr. Tamra." I was glad he had skipped the whole "so you're the new girl" bit. I returned his smile and nodded. He handed me my books for the year. "Well Miss. Morella I see that in your last school you were taking an advanced course in Animal Studies. I do hope our simple Biology class will be entertaining enough," he commented with a smile. I returned it sheepishly. He continued on, "Well I believe we have one seat left next to Mr. Clearwater in the back right." He said pointing to the back of the classroom. I smiled and said a quick thanks as I walked to the end of the rows of desks and skirted up the aisle keeping my eyes down. When I reached the last row of desks I finally raised my eyes.

Mr. Clearwater turned out to be none other than the boy from the hallway that I couldn't seem to stop thinking about.

He was looking at me with his beautiful brown eyes that I could lose myself in. I felt like time was slowing down; a repeat of the hallway. My cheeks reddening with embarrassment, I realized that I was staring at him. So I quickly sat down and began pulling out my notebook and pen. I darted a quick glance at the boy next to me only to turn my eyes back to my notebook, my cheeks turning a darker shade of red. He was still openly staring at me. Part of me felt uncomfortable the other part of me thrilled. Yep, I'm crazy.

I studiously looked at Mr. Tamra who was at the front of the room going over the difference between protista and monera. Well no distraction there. I thought to myself. I put my pen down resignedly with a quiet sigh hoping to not draw attention to myself.

"Hey," a warm voice that reminded me of the sun warming my skin as I lay on the beach, whispered quietly. Cautiously I looked over at the boy sitting next to me and saw he had a smile to match his voice, warm and like a sun itself. His smile was contagious and I felt a small one slip onto my face. "I'm Seth." He said holding out his hand. My mouth twitched into a bigger smile.

"Karen." I replied to his unspoken question and placed my hand in his. His hand was warm and I felt that warmth travel throughout my body making me realize that I was cold and had been cold for a long time especially since... I shook myself mentally of those thoughts and concentrated on Seth. I liked that name. Focus Karen. Stop being one of those sappy girls.

"It's nice to meet you Karen." Seth said warmly, his mouth caressing my name like some treasured jewel. Stop it Karen.

"It's nice to meet you too." I replied. Great conversational skills Karen. I realized that my hand was still in his. I cautiously pulled my hand out of his.

"So you're new here." I didn't know whether he was asking me or stating it as a fact. I just smiled politely and nodded my head. "So when—" But I didn't hear the rest of his sentence because at that moment Mr. Tamra brought the class's attention to us.

"Is there something you and Miss Morella would like to share with the class Mr. Clearwater?" I glanced quickly at Seth and saw him refocus his attention on Mr. Tamra floundering.

"Seth was just catching me up on what the class has learned so far." I told Mr. Tamra with a smile. My heart beat fast in my chest but I kept my face schooled into an innocent mask. Mr. Tamra turned his attention to me his eyes boring into mine for any sign of a lie but I kept eye contact. He didn't look like he completely believed me and thought I was just covering, which was exactly what I was doing.

"So what have we learned so far?" he asked hoping to trap me.

So I hope you liked it :) Review Pretty Please ;)
