I could feel my face get super hot and red. It was that boy again. I couldn't help but fantasize that he was stalking me. He smiled at me and his green eyes poured into my mis-matched eyes. I had one blue eye and one green eye. Oh, I was so embarrassed. My hair usually covers my green eye or vise versa. But they were fully exposed. I'm so stupid!
"You didn't have to stop playing you know," he said with a smirk which made me blush harder.
"I'm sorry, you scared me." I said back with a stupid half smile. Hoping my face wasn't showing too terribly red at this point.
He held out his hand as he said, "my name is Cam Briel."
I took his hand. "My name is Chasity, but you can call me Chase if you like.." I said half heartedly hoping that I didn't sound like a complete idiot. I could really use some friends.
"So," he began, "you're new here or what? I saw you with the secretary lady earlier."
"Yeah, I'm new.." I said hoping he wouldn't ask any further questions.
"Where are you from if you don't mind me asking?" he asked.
Dammit.
"It's a rather complicated story you see-"
"Oh I don't mean to pry.."
"No it's fine I can tell you." No it's not fine, my story is painful. "I'm not really from around here; I live like a few hours north. I was diagnosed with BPD, and my parents disowned me. I was sent to foster care and I wasn't doing well there so here I am." That was just barely the surface.
"I'm sorry to hear that." He said as he stared off in to my eyes. "Your eyes are gorgeous."
"Th-thank you." Ugh, I stuttered! I felt my eyes start to burn a little. I felt overwhelmed for some reason.
"Are you okay?" he asked with a concerned look on his face.
"Yeah I'm okay.."
He put his hand on my shoulder. I think he knew I was lying.
"Look, if you need anything, I'm right next door."
I smiled silently. Silence.
"It's getting dark" he began, "let me walk you to your room?"
"Sure." I said with a beaming smile.
As we made our way up to the building he put his arm around my shoulders. I caught myself smiling uncontrollably. We walked in silence the rest of the way. When we got to my door he stopped and stared at me for a split second.
"Well I hope to see you in some of my classes tomorrow. Goodnight."
I started to unlock my door, "goodnight." I gently closed my door behind me. I couldn't stop smiling. I felt fantastic. I took a quick shower then wrapped my hair up in to a towel. I packed my bags with school notebooks and sketch pad. I set my class schedule on the table by the door and turned out the lights. I couldn't wait for tomorrow to come.
