I entered what I was told by a blonde girl in the hall was the Biology Lab and introduced myself to whom I suspected was the teacher. She hadn't seen me yet she hunched over her desk attempting to straighten it.
"Hello, I'm the new student"
"Right, right She said and looked at her computer screen after hitting some non-sensical keys on the keyboard her eyes skimmed down the screen looking for the name that didn't belong.
Mine.
"Ah," She exclaimed when she found it, "Leelo Break-Breaken?"
"Brakken." I corrected her.
"Why don't you take a seat next to ." She said pointing out the first available seat. I turned and looked towards the spot she was pointing out and was riveted to the floor when I saw who the spot was by. Those eyes, I had looked into a million times in my dreams, were now focused on me. I tried to act normal as I walked towards the open seat; towards him and I couldn't help but get the sudden flashback of a wedding.
The wedding was of course a dream that I'd had back in Albuquerque. I was in a white dress with a long cathedral wedding veil that drug on the grass behind me.I was walking towards my future; my past; everything I thought I knew or wanted to know were contained within those eyes and when he smiled at me I knew he'd be mine forever.
everything seemed so vivid in my dream world or was because I was in love in my dream that every color was so vivid? I had never been in love until now so I had no point of reference. All I knew as I walked towards my seat were his eyes were singing to my soul.
But this was not my dream I had to keep telling myself as I dropped my bag to the floor and sat in the seat to his right. I'd never wanted Momma and Dad more in my life as I did right then, I tried not to look at him I just kept my head down trying to fill my head with other things, anything else but the fact that I couldn't breathe. My hair dropped down in to my eyes making me brave enough to steal a glance and - oh as beautiful as I thought he was from far away did him absolutely no justice at all up close he was spectacular and he was looking back at me all though he was trying to hide it like me. What did this mean?
I didn't know and at that moment I didn't care he was looking at me.
It happened suddenly my pencil dropped of the table or maybe I pushed it I'm not sure but he bent down to retrieve it.
"Thanks." I said grabbing the pencil and our fingers accidentally touched sparks of electricity followed through our fingers.
