CHAPTER TWELVE

Avilla's pov It was my first day of school and I was ready to face it head on. I spent the whole of last night obsessing over what to wear and how to pull it off but I finally decided to be simple with my crop top, jeans and my favorite boots. It was an exciting day for me. I stood with a grin on my face, I put music on so I could get ready on time. I spent a lot of time in the bathroom getting ready. 'Avilla Miranda Stevenson! If you are not down in fifteen minutes, you are going to be late!" my aunt shouted Huh? I thought I was early I checked my time and she was right, damn! I ran downstairs slinging my school bag across my shoulder, I was really excited to make new friends and be part of something for once in my teenage life. 'Good morning, Avilla" my aunt greets me cheerfully, she places a plate filled with delicious looking pancakes dripping with syrup on the dining table. 'Are you excited? She asked me 'Yes, I am excited to start school" I told her sincerely. I was really looking forward to making new friends and experiencing the tales of high school. I ate my breakfast quickly and grabbed my school bag and car keys, kissing my aunt goodbye, I headed to school. Getting there, I thought everything would be different but everyone pretty much minded their business, they were talking to each other and ignored me like I didn't exists. This was what I wanted yet it kind of made me feel bad. I walked alone to the class I was supposed to have and I entered the class just to see him sitting alone, staring ahead like nothing else mattered to him. He looked so handsome right there. The voice in my head kept telling me to go to him, it kept urging me to go closer and talk to him but I paid no attention to it instead I averted my eyes and sat up front. I kept looking at him through the corner of my eyes to gauge his reaction but it was like I didn't even exists. I only got a reaction when his friend who was staring at me the other day made an attempt to come talk to me, he appeared to have warned his friend with a growl or something like that. It was quite cute and confusing at the same time. I was curious to know who this guy is and why he was so aloof and mysterious, I had a certain attraction to him and I couldn't explain why. It was like we were meant to be together in some strange way. I didn't get it but maybe I will ask my aunt when school is over. We waited for the teacher to come but he/she wasn't forthcoming. I turned a bit to see what the mystery guy was up to, it looks like his friend was giving him a hard time and he was getting pretty pissed off. He looked hot when he is mad, he turned just then and our eyes met, he held my gaze for a long time unflinching. I felt the heat from his stare, I was drawn to it like moth to a flame. It seared through my heart almost calling out to something inside me, like another person that lives inside. I had to look away because it was like he was going to make me respond to his eyes alone. The bell rang signaling the teacher to round up her class so we could go to the cafeteria, I headed out of the class with the rest of the student eager to head on to the cafeteria. My aunt did tell me that Camilla will meet me to make me feel welcomed and all of that. I got to the cafeteria doors and pushed it open making all eyes turn to me, I suddenly felt shy and vulnerable. Every step I took was measured so I won't trip and get laughed at, I went straight for the lunch table, getting the spaghetti and meatball they were serving. I was confused on where to seat because it looked like all the tables were occupied and I seem to be the odd one out, I stood in the middle of the cafeteria looking around for a convenient spot to seat and enjoy my lunch, that was until… 'Hey new girl, come sit with us!!!" a girl shouted I squinted my eyes in the direction to take a good look at the girl inviting me to sit with them but I didn't see her, I shrugged and headed over there. I could wait there till the Camilla girl gets here. I got to the table and I introduced myself, 'Hi, my name is Avilla" I said sitting down and making myself comfortable The pretty brunette beamed up at me 'I know who you are" she said to me I furrowed my brows in confusion, which she cleared up after taking a good look at my face, 'my name is Camilla, and my mom mentioned you might need a friend" I smiled at her 'thank you" 'Come on sit, let's wait for my brother" she said digging into her food I dug into my food, moaning at how delicious it tasted. I was mid moan when a shadow fell across my plate, I looked up and it was him. It was the mystery guy I have been crushing on, I was tongue tied and unable to say anything to him while he stared at me. He stared at me for a long time before his goofy friend asked 'Dude, aren't you going to sit down?" He sat beside me without a word, I heard that voice again in my head telling me to lean my head on his shoulder, his arm brushing up on mine was giving me the tingling feeling.
