Love at first sight, His at first tough

ROSALIN POV: “Ughhh, can this day just end already?” Kiera says as we walk down the hallway to our last class of the day. “Girl chill out, we are almost done. Just one more class then we can go back to my house and start our movie marathon.” Steph says, looking at an exasperated Kiera. “I know, I know. The only saving grace is that this class is art and a certain group of hotties takes this class as well.” Kiera says wiggling her eyebrows. Steph laughs at this and opens the door too stroll into the room. I swear, these girls and their love for soccer players and hot guys. I on the other hand couldn’t give two flying rats ass about them, the only thing on my mind is my grades and getting into a good university far away from this small town. Now don’t get me wrong, I love my friends and will join in on their conversations, but I would zone out once the topic came too boys. “Ro, are you listening over there?” Steph says while shaking my shoulder and giggling at me spacing out as per usual. “Damn it, I’m sorry girls. You know I zone out once you start talking about boys.” I say while blushing. “Yeah we know, but that won’t stop us from talking about it.” Kiera says laughing at my shyness. “Plus we like making you blush, you are just too cute to tease.” Steph adds, giggling. Her saying that makes me blush even more as I hide my face in my jacket. All I hear is those two laughing and giving me a hug each and saying that they love me no matter what. I look up and smile at them and laughing along side them. It wasn’t rare for my too laugh but every time I do, for some reason it tends too draw attention from the people around me. I hated people looking at me, I have always been overly aware of the people around me. But today was not the same as it usually was, I felt an unfamiliar gaze on me as I looked around. Without being able too distinguish where the gaze was from I turn my attention back too my friend and continue out conversation before out teacher came in to start the lesson. The rest of the period flew by quickly even though the unknown gaze never left me. As soon as the bell rang, me and my girls grab our things and made our way outside too Steph’s car but I still felt like someone was looking at me. I took one more glance around me and caught a pair of steel gray eyes looking at me. I saw the most handsome man looking at me from across the parking lot and he was looking me in the eyes at this point. He noticed our eye contact and gave me a sweet heart stopping smile and a small wave. “Why did Ashton just wave at you Ro?” Kiera asks, looking wide eyed. I look at her with a quizzical look. “I have no idea, I didn’t know who that was.” “What do you mean you don’t know who that was? We have been going to the same school for the last four years Ro.” Steph says bewildered. I open the car door while shrugging my shoulders. The ride home was weird to say the least, Kiera and Steph still couldn’t believe that I didn’t know who Ashton was. I mean come on, I’m not trying to state the obvious but HELLO, I am a very introverted person and didn’t like looking at or even talking to the other people. All I had to say on the matter was that “I never cared enough to look”. We eventually made it to Steph’s house and had decided to have a Harry Potter movie marathon night. About half way through our third movie I was needing to pee really bad, so I got up and made my way down the hall to the bathroom only to end up bumping into Steph’s older brother Klause. “Well, well, well, look who we have here. Hello there little rose, how have you been?” Klaus asks with a smirk and a hungry look in his eyes. “Umm, I’ve been good. How about you Klause?” I asked back trying to be polite, even though his gaze was starting to make me very uncomfortable. “I have been good, just been busy with college classes and a few parties here and there. It’s been what, two years since I’ve last saw you? My how you have blossomed little rose.” He says as he starts to rake his perverted eyes down my body and back up only to land on my chest. Okay, he has just made this very creepy and I need to take myself out of this situation. So, I nicely say excuse me and made my way past him and to the bathroom to relieve myself. He has looked at me this way ever since I turned fifteen, so every time I came over I avoided him like the plague. After I washed my hands I quickly open the door and look both ways down the hallway then made a B-Line back to the living room to where my friends still were. Thinking up a quick excuse I look at Steph. “Hey Steph? I just got a text from my dad, he’s saying I need to come home for dinner. Do you think you could drive me home, It’s starting to get dark out.” I say, trying not to look suspicious. “Yeah girl, no problem. Just let me get my keys from the kitchen then we can go okay?” Steph says back with a smile. “Okay, sounds good. I’ll wait by the door.” I say back. With a nod, Steph walks to the kitchen to retrieve her keys and I practically sprint to the front door and past Klause only for him to grab my arm to stop me. “Where are you off to?” He asks. “Home, my parents want me there right now.” I say, trying not to stutter under his intensely hungry gaze. “Oh, okay. See you around little rose.” He smirked his creepy little smirk. Apparently he thought it was hot but it wasn’t. He let go of my arm and went back to his room. “Ready?” Steph says as she rounds the corner. “Yep.” I say back. All three of us load up into Steph’s little BMW and started making our way to my house in silence. After I got home, I take a quick shower wanting to wash away todays stress and that creeps touch. All I wanted to do was put on my favorite pajamas and crawl into bed and read my favorite book then eventually fall asleep. As I drift off to sleep the only thing I could think about was a certain handsome man with steel grey eyes.
