At first glance
I knew you'd be hard to forget.
Courtney's POV:
I came home from university in a daze. I unlocked the door to my apartment and threw my book bag down on the floor. I slumped over to the couch and sat exhaustedly. I leaned my head back on the couch and pulled the hair and left my light brown hair fall down around my shoulders. I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples with my forefinger and thumb to stop my pounding headache. I stayed there hoping my best friend and roommate, Cailyn, wouldn't notice that I was home yet. I loved her to death, but on a day like today I would have rather live alone. My prayers went unanswered when I heard her walking toward the living room.
"Oh, Court, I didn't realize you were home," she said as she stood in front of me.
"Yeah, I just got home a minute ago," I sighed heavily and opened my eyes to see her standing in the hallway that lead to our bedrooms.
"Well, how was it? How are your professors?"
I looked at her sideways with a sly grin. "Who are you; my mother?"
She chuckled, "Sometimes I feel like it."
I sighed to myself thinking of the crazy day I had had beginning with getting lost on campus and then bumping into that cute guy before my piano class. "Stressful, I always hated the first day of classes; it's too hectic especially with all the incoming freshmen. Professors are alright, at least the ones I met today. Although, I have to say there was at least one cute guy today. We bumped into each other before our piano class. His name's Tom."
Cailyn shook her head and laughed. "It's the first day of school, don't start already."
"Yes, mother," I yelled to her as she walked back to her bedroom.
I stayed put on the couch thinking about Tom. He looked familiar, but I had only been in England or a year. By now everyone looked familiar.
He was different; he wasn't like all the other British boys I knew. He seemed like he was trying to hide. But his beautiful brown eyes had taken me by surprise.
I never planned on falling for him, honest I didn't. I wasn't looking to fall in love. I was focused on school for a change; this was my last year in college and I wanted to finish it off right. If I had only known what I was getting myself into, I probably wouldn't have thought about him more than the next guy. But for some reason he was always there, in the back of my mind.
