Leighs POV:

"Leigh get up!" yelled my dad. I get up from the bed and search for my cell phone. But it wasn’t in the bed with me nor on the nightstand by my bed.

“Dad?! Did you get my phooone!?” I yelled through the door closed. I get dressed in a pair of black jeans and a black hoody with the name of one of my favorite bands’ name, Arctic Monkeys. I fixed my hair into a messy bun and put on my big glasses and grabbed my black blue convers and ran down stairs. I looked around the kitchen and the living room and in his bedroom but couldn’t find him anywhere.

“Dad!! Where are you? I need my stupid phone!” I yell and wait just a few moments later to see if I get an answer. Nope. No answer. I shrug and put on my shoes’, grabbed my backpack and some money off of the counter, and walked out the front door locking it. As I turn around I walk towards my bus stop. Oh I hate taking the bus so much. I hate it with all my guts, I hate the people on it as well. I just wish that they could just ignore me instead of them telling me things, which is the reason I have my Ipod and earphones at all times to ignore them telling me things. Its only really bad when things get physical, im not scared to punch someone in the face. My dad and my big brother who happens to be a senor has showed me many punches and kicks to take care of myself.

A few moments later the bus is at my corner I put in the earphones and getting on the bus letting out a frustrated sigh acknowledging the person sitting in my spot. Knowing that other people will refuse to let me sit with anyone else….. I hesitate taking the seat next to him. He smiles warmly and pulls his backpack to his lap and I put my backpack in between my legs leaving my legs open and my thigh touches his. The warmth of his thigh feel strangely comfortable. I pull out my Ipod and I change the song to ‘do I wanna know?’ by arctic monkeys. I feel myself blush when I feel him staring at me, I turn to face him and he jerks his head turning quick getting a whiplash I cover my mouth trying not to laugh but who am I kidding I couldn’t hold it in. I started laughing and pulled out my earphones looking at him and asked him.

“ Are you okay? That looked quite painful” I said between laughs.

He smiles oh so kindly and nods slowly looking into my eyes as I smile back and he says “Yeah just…. I don’t know, you had something on your hair and I didn’t want you to feel embarrassed”

He said looking away from me towards the window. I pulled my hair out of my ponytail and my glasses, leaning in a little I fluffed up my hair and let it go letting it rest at the small of my back putting on my glasses back and turning to face him I blushed at the way he was looking at me.

“hey are you okay?” I asked him waving my hand in front of his face laughing silently. He shook his head getting out of the trance he was in and smiled at me with this beautiful smile I fell in love with.

“yeah sorry I just space out very often. So how long have you’ve been in this school?” he asked me but I couldn’t find my voice I blushed but turned my face so that he couldn’t see my face and finally I said.

“hmm? Im sorry, I didn’t listen to what you said.”

“I asked how long have you’ve been at this school” he said.

“oh I’ve been here since last year. I’m in 10th grade how about you?” I asked him and waited for his answer till this girl who hates my guts pulls me from my seat and I fall to the ground on my butt and says,

“stop being such a slut and get away from him before you make him a loser like yourself!” she scoffed.

I got up grabbed my back pack and looked at her, then at him and he looked like he was about to explode which is what he did.

“Are you fucking kidding me? Why do you have to be such a bitch? Its my business if I want to become a loser too. Not your god damn decision!” he looked at her with hatred in his eyes and got up from the seat gesturing his hands for her to move out of his way, then grabbing my hand he leads me to the front of the bus and asks him to stop then we get off.

I hesitated pulling his hand back. “Uh. Where are we going?”

He turns back to look at me and smiles warmly at me. “ We’re going to school. I just know a short way. Trust me, you wont regret it. We can even stop on the way and I’ll by you breakfast my treat.”

He looked at me and I felt.. wonderful inside. Those beautiful eyes of his are just.. captivating. I just want to drown in his eyes. I trying not to melt right then and there, I break eye contact and look anywhere but him.

“I know this is your first day and all, and we’ll probably get in trouble later, but I think its worth it. Would you like to skip today and hang around instead of going to school and learning things we already know?” I say and look at him waiting patiently for an answer and I start to feel uneasy when I realize what I just asked him to do. I mean I’ve skipped before… but I’ve never let anyone come with me because I go to my favorite spot, my spot where I feel like I’m not even on earth. Maybe I should show it to him. Just the two of us. We would have so much fun.

I feel relieved all over when he beams at me. His eyes for the second time today make me want to melt in his arms just the touch of my hand in his make it feel so right. What if we were
