"I am so sorry. I was just trying to get my Calc book before class. I wasn't paying any attention, are you alright?"
His piercing baby blue eyes stared deeply into my boring old brown ones before speaking up.
"Uh, its fine. No big deal. I wasn't really paying attention either." He held up his I-Pod to show that he had too been absorbed in something else. I noticed the album artwork and immediately smiled in delight.
"Green Day?" I asked.
"Yeah actually. How'd ya know?"
"Saw the artwork. American Idiot, that's my favorite album by them."
"Seriously? It's mine too. Favorite track?"
"Hands down it's got to be St. Jimmy." I proudly expressed.
"That's insane! It's mine too. That's what I'm actually listening to right now."
"Wow, stellar. I mean cool… wow… I am such a nerd."
"Nah, its cool." he laughed. "It is indeed, stellar."
I just smiled at him because I couldn't truly comprehend what was actually going on right now. A boy was talking to me…me. No boy, no human rather, has ever really spoken to me minus Chip and my dad. This was a moment for the history books. I finally mustered the courage to continue the conversation.
"I don't think I've seen you around here before. Are you new or something?"
"Yeah, I actually am. First day today. You said you were going to Calc, right?
"Yep, that's right. Is that where you were heading?"
"Yeah it was." he chuckled.
"Well, I can tell you this. You were definitely going the wrong way." I laughed jokingly. "Truman's class is this way. I could show you if you want."
"Yeah. I really never was good with directions. But that would be great, uh; I never did catch your name?"
"Belle."
"Sweet. Mine's Adam."
"Well Adam, welcome to Lumworth High."
