Love at first sight!

"Have you seen him yet?" Sophie asked, half screamed at me as we sat down at our usual lunch table in the school hall, it was right in the middle where everyone could see us. Everyone had been gossiping about the new guy in school. Apparently he has the most beautiful eyes and the most heart melting stunning smile that could send shivers down anyone's spine. But, to be honest, Sophie can exaggerate things slightly when she wants to, even if she doesn't mean to.
"Have I seen who, the new guy? No I haven't but I hope I do just to stop you going on about him." I said, slightly annoyed because this was all she'd been going on about. Seriously, she hadn't stopped talking about him since his "blessed" arrival as everyone was calling it, I doubt he's even that amazing.
Her eyes were suddenly drawn to something behind me and her lips turned up into the flirty smile she wore so often around guys she liked. I turned around to see a 6 foot God enter the hall. He had gorgeous dark brown, rustled hair which made him look very sexy and the most amazing golden-brown eyes that would make anyone momentarily speechless. I sat, gawking at him when he suddenly turned to look over at me. I quickly shut my mouth and smiled shyly. He smiled back. His smile sent shivers down my spine and I could feel myself blushing like crazy. I then snapped back around to face Sophie. I could feel my cheeks heating up with embarrassment and Sophie immediately spotted it.
"Chloe, you're blushing. OMG! Did he smile at you? He did, didn't he?! It's amazing isn't it! How white his teeth are, how golden his eyes are, he must be perfect..." Sophie continued to go on but I was lost in thought. He is perfect, maybe too perfect. Surely he has some flaws. I mean, nobody's perfect, are they? But that's exactly it. Are they? Is there someone out there who is so perfect, its surreal? Well if there is, I think I found him.
"Don't you think? Chloe? Hello, Earth to Chloe!" I tuned back into reality.
"Chloe, don't you think we would make a cute couple?" Obviously, she already had ideas in her mind for him. Typical.
"Erm, don't you think that's going a bit far? He's only just arrived and you're already planning out his life for him." I said giving her a suspicious look.
"What?! I am not! I'm just imagining, a girl can dream, can't she?" She pretended to be shocked.
"Touché, but I'm watching you. Come on; let's go before you end up snogging him in front of everyone." I rolled my eyes and smiled. As I turned round to go, I walked right into someone extremely tall. I craned my neck to look up at who it was. It was him. The 6 foot God.
"Sorry," A deep, sexy voice came out of him. "I'm Dan by the way." He smiled his pearly white teeth at me.
"Erm, I'm Chloe." I laughed nervously and wished the ground would just open up and swallow me whole right then and there.
"Well, it was nice to bump into you Chloe." He laughed a beautiful laugh that just made me tingle all over with happiness. I laughed too which made him smile more.
"I have to go, bye." I may have said that a little too quickly as I tried to walk away as quickly as possible with Sophie following close behind.
"Hey, he's mine, back off." She said to me after we left the hall and started walking up to Fitzgerald common room.
"He came up to me thank you very much. You can have him anyway, I'm not that interested." I lied through my teeth. I was totally in love with a guy I had just met but I wasn't going to give Sophie the satisfaction and I was also saving myself from her constantly going on about him if I said I liked him. We walked in silence up to the common room.

When we entered I could sense something suspicious. I walked round the corner of the door to find the twins hiding, ready to jump out on us and scare us.
"Not a chance, guys." The twins, Adam and Tom, were also trying to prank Sophie and me, but we are prank masters which made it even harder for them, also giving us humour at their attempts. Sophie was constantly telling me that Adam liked me more than a friend but I ignored her because I didn't feel that way about him. Well I don't think I did anyway.
"Damn! How did you know where we were?" Adam whined at their, yet again, another failed plan to scare us.
"I'm not telling. A magician never reveals his secrets." I told them, laughing slightly.
"Oh, well we'll get you next time. You just wait!" Tom said, collapsing on the sofa in the middle of the room. Sophie and I both collapsed next to him and Adam slid in next to me.
"So," Adam began. "I heard you and Dan had a little moment in the hall earlier." I looked at him in total surprise.
"How in the world did you hear that? It only just happened." I cannot believe how fast gossip spread around here.
"Well, Sam told me about 5 minutes before you arrived." Sam was like the gossip king of our school. Anything that happened here that's worth hearing has already spread before you can say Warrington High. He is always in the right place at the right time, somehow.
"Sam? Of course, I should've known." I rolled my eyes at myself being stupid.
"Chloe, can I talk to you for a second please?" Adam said to me quietly so that Tom and Sophie couldn't hear.
"Sure." I stood up and followed him to the other side of the room.
"Well, erm, I was just wondering if you were," He laughed nervously. I looked at him, trying to figure out was he was asking.
"If you're going to the, erm," He was about to finish his sentence when in bursts a girl from the year above screaming.
"OMG! The new guy's coming! He's in this house! OMG" Everyone suddenly charged to the door along with Sophie who pulled me from behind to see what was happening. I could just see through a gap between heads that Dan was walking, almost running, towards to common room.
"Everyone go back and act natural. He might be on the lookout for a prom date!" The girls then stormed back into the room and tried to do something that made them look more attractive. I wandered back over to Adam who was looking extremely sad. I was about to ask him what was wrong when I heard footsteps walking into the room. Everyone was staring at him. The boys looked at him with jealousy and the girls with lust. I looked at him and he had his eyes set on me. Oh God. Why would he want to speak to me?
"Hey, Chloe" His deep voice already had me tingling.
"Hey." I laughed shyly. He smiled at me sweetly.
"Can I steal her for two minutes please?" He asked Adam, seeing in his eyes that he was so angry at him for interrupting.
"Yes, go ahead." He sighed and flopped back onto the sofa next to Sophie.
"How can I help?" I tried to be more confident, which seemed to be working when I didn't look him in the eyes.
"Do you have a date for the prom yet?" I looked up and saw hope in his eyes. He wanted to take me to the dance, me of all people. Some of the girls here are so much prettier than I am and he chose me.
"No. Why?" I knew what he was going to ask but I would just love to be the centre of attention for once.
"Well, would you consider going with me?" I smiled at him with my sweetest smile and he smiled back. I suddenly got goose bumps all over my arms and legs.
"Erm, sure. Ok." I continued smiling.
"Great. I'll meet you at 10 in the middle of the dance floor." He walked towards me until we were nose to nose. I could feel his arms wrap round me. I wrapped my arms around him and he pulled me closer until my head was against his chest. I could feel everyone's jealous eyes watching me. His chest was so warm and his arms made me feel so welcome. I wanted to stay in his arms forever but I had to pull away.
"I'll see you later." His sexy voice made me want to kiss his face off right then and there.
"Ok. I'll see you at the prom." I lifted my hand and gave a girly little wave which was probably a huge mistake. He turned around and walked out. The second the door closed behind him, every girl in the room ran up to me and started asking me questions. "What was it like?" and "Did he ask you out?" I didn't answer any of their questions. All I could think about was what I was going to wear and that's where Ashleigh came in. Ashleigh is my style guru. She tells me what I should wear for almost any occasion and this was going to be a big project for her.

Here I am, walking down the road towards Ashleigh's house. I can't wait until the prom. The time had flown ever since last week when Dan asked me to go with him. What still gets me is why he asked me. He's so perfect and I'm so, well, not. I wear jeans and t-shirts and most of the girls at school wear make-up and short skirts. Most of these girls are so much more attractive so why would he be attracted to me more? All these questions confuse me and make me rethink whether I should have said yes when he asked me to go to the prom with him. I arrived at Ashleigh's house., er family are so rich because her dad designs video games and her mum owns her own clothing line which is probably where she gets her style sense from. I knocked on the door and there was an immediate answer as if I was expected to arrive. It was her mum who was like a second mum to me.
"Hey Chloe, come in sweetie and I'll get Ashleigh."
"Ok." I stepped inside her porch. Well, it's supposed to be a porch but it's the size of a living room. It has beautiful cream walls and golden curtains covered in beautiful silver beads hanging over the windows daintily. There's a large archway leading into an extremely modern kitchen and another which connects to a very welcoming and probably expensive living room. Footsteps on the stairs distract me from these well decorated rooms. I turn to see a pretty girl in designer jeans and a David and Goliath T-shirt.
"Hi Chloe, do you want to go into the living room and I'll come in a minute." She wandered into the kitchen and her mum followed her leaving me to go into the living room. I made myself comfortable very quickly on the sofa. It was made of a very soft material that just made you sink into the sofa, just as I was almost being eaten whole by the sofa. Ashleigh walked in carrying two Capri-Suns. She knew it was my favourite drink. She handed one to me and slid next to me on the sofa.
"So what brings you here on this fine day Chloe?" she has been raised by quite a posh family so it's kind of expected that she would speak like that too.
"I'm going to the prom Friday night and I need a stunning dress and I thought you would be the person to go to for something stunning."
"Say no more. I'm in. Come with me and we'll get started now if you want."
"OK!" I followed her up the stairs to her very big bedroom which had a red and white theme. She had a double bed with a red and white duvet in the centre of the room and white curtains against screen doors leading to a huge balcony looking over our small village of Lordswood and you can see all the way to London. The carpet was a cosy, warm deep red with cream walls and pictures of her friends, family and famous fashion designers all over the walls. She had her own little office leading off her bedroom in which she designed her own clothes. In this room were mannequins covered in different samples of fabrics and a table with a sewing machine and a huge basket filled with different coloured threads that looked like someone had put a rainbow in a basket; it was bursting with so many colours.
I sat on the bed and looked around the room.
"So which colour or colours do you want your dress to be?"
"Well, I was thinking maybe a dark red with glitter but I'm not sure what colour suits me best." The colour suiting me best wasn't really what I had in mind; all I was thinking about is what Dan would like me best in.
"Come in here." She waved her hand towards her office. She walked towards one of the dummies covered in fabric samples. She pulled off a crimson red square and an aqua square and walked back towards me and held them towards my face.
"The aqua suits your skin tone but the red brings out your eyes. So which one would you prefer?"
"I came to you for your opinion, so which one do you think I should wear?"
"Well, personally, I think the red because if this guy really likes you, he's going to want to look into your eyes so wearing the red would be best." She stared at the squares, lost in thought.
"OK, red it is then." I smiled at her. I chose the right person to go to. Wait a second, how did she know I have a date?
"Ashleigh, what makes you think I have a date?"
"Oh please," She looks at me like she thinks I'm being stupid. "Firstly, you suggested I make the dress using red, which we both know is your "boy magnet" colour and second, I can tell that you're excited about this prom which can only mean one thing. You have a date, and I bet he's cute. You always had good taste in guys." She winked at me and smiled.
"No. He's beyond cute. He's like a God, he's perfect." I didn't tell her that that's the one thing about him that bothers me. I can trust her but I wanted to figure this out by myself.
"Aha! Right, we are going to make you his perfect girl." She gave me a bigger smile.
"Well, I have to go so I'll leave to work in peace and I'll come back on Friday. I'm taking Sophie shopping tomorrow for her dress."
"Why don't you bring Sophie round on Friday so you can collect your dress and I'll take you two to prom? If that's OK with her." She was being so nice, how could I not accept her offer?
"I think that would be OK with Sophie. I'll see you later then, bye." I waved her goodbye as I left the room and walked downstairs and out of the house. I felt happy that I had my dress already in the bag and since everyone will be watching me and Dan I have to look my best.
