Sky by jewel crotan (ebook reader 8 inch txt) 📖

of my eye I saw the really cute guy from Frisbee walk in; I mean he was drop dead gorgeous and I heard a scatter of excited whispers from the girls in the room. He must have been at least 6’1”, he had dark hair and dark eyes, and had that chiseled jaw thing going on. I could barely breathe as I watched him walk over to a bunch of the guys.



“Jenn, who is that super hot guy?” I whispered so that no one else could hear me.



I saw her glance at him and noticed the gleam in her eye when she realized who I was looking at. “That’s the lead singer of the band!” She whispered in a frantic, excited tone.



I froze as I realized Mr. Gorgeous was in the same room as me, and I could barely breathe. Suddenly he was standing in front of us addressing the room and the sound of his voice snapped me out of my daze.



“Okay guys, we’re going to get started! My name is Jonathan Hunter, and I will be your R.A. this year. We hope that you are all starting to settle in and you are beginning to find your way around campus. You will have your individual meeting with me later this week. It’s no big deal, just a few minutes to tell me a little bit about yourself and what you hope to accomplish this year.”



Wait, what? Mr. Gorgeous, Mr. Hottie, Mr. Lead Singer was our Resident Advisor? I had to literally silently tell myself to remain calm. I hated to admit it but I was on pins and needles waiting to hear more, and as I glanced around the room I noticed that several other girls looked as eager as I felt to hear more of what he had to say. He went on to tell us all of the happenings on campus that week and then he had all of us go around and briefly introduce ourselves. “I’ll start. Like I said, I’m Jonathan, and I am from Manhattan.”



A kind of quiet appreciation fell over the room as the girls seemed to literally swoon. His velvety deep voice was even sexier than the voice I’d heard the night before.



I didn’t hear anyone else after he spoke and his name kept playing over and over in my head until I felt Katie nudge me. I snapped out of my reverie and was completely confused as to why she was nudging me repeatedly until I glanced around the room and noticed that everyone was staring at me. Oh my gosh! It’s my turn!



I felt so silly and I could feel my cheeks burning as I’m sure they turned crimson red with all eyes on me. I tried to play it off and act like I wasn’t as flustered as I felt.



I waved my hand, in a short wave, to the room. “Hi, I’m Skylar Miller and I am from Chicago.”



I felt relieved when my turn was over and I was just beginning to relax a bit when Mr. Gorgeous caught me off guard.



“City or suburbs?” His eyes had me spellbound and for just a second, there was no one else in the room. I couldn’t believe he was actually talking to me!



“City, right in the middle of it all.”



“Me too.” His eyes held mine and the heat between us was palpable.



The room was silent for a little bit too long and I could feel all eyes on us. Thankfully he kept it moving by having Jenn, who was sitting on the other side of me, pick up where I left off.



Katie leaned over and whispered to me so that no one else could hear her. “What was that all about with Mr. Hottie?”



“I have no idea, but he is so gorgeous isn’t he?” My voice had a bit of a lilt when I talked about him and it was really hard to hide my excitement.



“He is beautiful! I told you he’s into you Sky.” She gently leaned into me, nudging me, as her words hung in the air.



“No, he was just being nice.” I tried to sound nonchalant as I shot down her suggestion, but I secretly hoped that it was true, and then silently scolded myself. This is not part of the plan!



“Oh really? Then why can’t he take his eyes off of you?”



I glanced in his direction and his eyes were fixated on me. I normally wasn’t a shy person, but I suddenly felt very shy with him totally staring at me for the second time in as many days. Oh my gosh, he is so hot! I tore my eyes away from his when I realized that everyone was getting up and leaving the room.



Katie was chatting with a girl next to her and Jenn was talking with a guy next to her so we were all still sitting on the ground. I wanted to get a snack from the vending machine, so I got up and told Katie I would see her back in our room. As I walked toward the stairs, Jonathan was standing there. My heart was hammering against my chest and my mouth went completely dry, as I got closer to him. I had to stop myself from turning around to look behind me to see who he was looking at because those gorgeous eyes were trained right on me. He smiled at me and I swear it felt like all time had stopped as I walked up to him. Don’t get sucked in Sky, he probably is like this with every new girl he meets.



“Hi, Skylar right?” Are you kidding me with that gorgeous face?



“Hi, yeah, but my friends call me Sky. It’s Jonathan, right? Weren’t you in the band I saw last night?” I am weak. Everything I told myself about guys went flying out the window.



He smiled at me and I don’t know that I’d ever seen anyone more beautiful. “Yeah, that was me. How did you like it?”



“You guys were amazing, I had a really good time.” I smiled at him.



“Good, I’m glad. I’ve been singing with them since we were all freshmen and I’m hoping that we still sounded decent.”



“Honestly Jonathan, I’ve been to a ton of concerts and seen a ton of bands, and you guys were easily one of the top three that I’ve seen.”



“Hmmm, top three, huh? What do we have to do to be number one?”



I was so tongue-tied I didn’t know what to say. I was actually standing there talking to the lead singer of Sonic Blaze and easily the most gorgeous guy I had ever seen, and I was a frozen mess. I never thought a guy to get to me like he did. It must have shown on my face because Jonathan looked concerned.



“Hey, I’m just teasing you. It means a lot that you think we’re top three, especially since you live in a big city. I’m sure you’ve seen some really cool bands in Chicago.”



Him saying that put me at ease and thankfully my brain started to work again. “Yeah, seriously, I thought you guys were really good and I can’t wait to see you guys again at Fall Festival.”



“We play at a spot in town every other Friday if you want to check us out sooner. I’ll let you know the schedule as soon as we get it.”



“Okay, cool, thanks.” This cannot really be happening right now.



“So Skylar, your friends call you Sky, huh?”



“Um, yeah.” I didn’t know where he was going with that.



“Well, maybe if you let me become your friend I can call you Sky also.” There was a bit of a twinkle in his eye and he was so incredibly adorable.



I smiled at him. “I think there could possibly be a very good chance of that.” I normally was not the flirtatious type but I couldn’t help myself, he was so good-looking!



He grinned and had the most perfect smile. “Oh really? Awesome. So, college isn’t so bad so far, huh? Which floor are you on?”
