New Friends

January and Kate took a seat beside either side of me.

" Oh my god Jules did you hear?" Kate asked in an excited voice.

" No I didn't… what is it?"

Kate and January have been my best friends since grade nine and I loved them to death but I wished they would just leave me alone today I really wasn't in the mood.

" There is a new guy in town! And he is so dreamy!" Of course, it was always a guy with Kate.

" And I am pretty sure he has first period with us" January said.

That's unusual January doesn't usually care about boys, she had never had a boyfriend. Just then Mr. Baltise our Philosophy teacher called our attention.

" I would just like to inform you that we have a new student at our school his name is Damon , I would like you all to give him a warm welcome."

I looked up not really interested. I gasped he was absolutely gorgeous, and his big blue eyes looked like an ocean. He was tall, skinny and had brown ruff hair. He met my gaze and smiled. I quickly looked away embarrassed.

" Kate?" She quickly looked at Mr. Baltise.

" Yes?"

" Can you please move to the empty seat in the back of the room so that Damon can sit here?" She looked at him for a moment.

" Um, yeah sure I guess."

She grabbed her stuff and walked to the back of the classroom. Damon walked to his seat and sat down. Oh this is just great. Why does he need to sit beside me?

" Ok class today we are going to be learning about the existence of man kind, now.."

I lost interest, I had already learned all about this in my last Philosophy class. I started to draw on my book again. I glanced over at the door and saw the same man from the corn field. I looked away quickly.

" Hey, are you ok?" it was Damon. Oh god I didn't think anyone saw that. I looked at him.

" Um yeah, I just… yeah I am fine." What was I saying? I sounded like an idiot!

" I` m Damon in case you didn't already know that." He smiled.

I couldn't help but smile back.

" Are you going to tell me your name?" he said.

" Oh yeah um I ` m Julie, but I prefer to be called Jules."

" Well it is nice to meet you Jules." I smiled.

"Nice to meet you too." I concentrated on my work the rest of the period I was too scared to glance over at him. The bell finally rang.
