Collision Of Hearts

Eva walked down the showed hallway of East Packer High,her eyes fixed on the floor as she she navigated through the sea of students. She held her books tightly to her chest,her long brown hair falling in loose waves down her back. As she turned a corner,she collided with a tall,broad-shouldered figure. Her books went flying out of her arms,scattering across the floor. "Oh no,I'm so sorry" a deep smooth voice apologised Eva looked up to see Asher Reed,the football team captain bending down to pick her books. His bright blue eyes looking at her as he smiled at her. "It's okay, I'm the one who bumped into you" Eva said,her cheeks flushing as she looked at Asher. Asher handed her the books, his fingers brushing against hers. "I'm Asher" he said smiling again while standing up. "I'm Eva" she replied also standing. After introducing themselves to each other, Asher's girlfriend,Tiffany,appeared at his side,her blonde ponytail bounced as she walked. "Hey babe" she said slipping her arm around his waist. Eva felt a pang of disappointment as Asher's eyes moved to Tiffany,frowning a moment. Tiffany's gaze narrowed as she looked at Eva with her books still standing there. "Who's this?" she asked, her tone cold. Asher hesitated a bit before responding, "This is Eva,we just ran into each other". Tiffany's eyes stayed on Eva before turning back to Asher. "We need to get to class babe". As Tiffany pulled Asher away,Eva felt a strange sense of loss. She watched as they disappeared into the crowd, wondering why she felt so drawn to someone who was clearly out of her league.
