I narrow my eyes at the beautiful man in front of me. He wears jeans, a white shirt and a leather jacket that hangs off his built frame incredibly sexily. His black hair is tousled and effortlessly messy. But his eyes aren't violet like they were that night, they're brown.
Maybe he's wearing contacts. Or maybe I imagined them in my flustered state.
Emily clears her throat, drawing my attention towards her as she raises an eyebrow at me before turning to him and his friends that have gathered behind him. God, they're all f*****g models!
"Hi, my name's Emily." She smiles her dazzling smile and I notice a boy and girl with identical sandy blonde hair waving back. The girl steps forward.
"I'm Rose and this is Dex" she gestures towards the dude with her hair and he smiles. "And that is Hugo, Alex and Dmitri" she gestures towards a boy and a girl and finishes at the guy in front of me who, incidentally, hasn't broken his gaze at me once.
I hear Emily laugh awkwardly as I don't say anything and I smirk. She never could take my social skills. It's not that I'm rude, I just don't waste time with niceties and small talk.
"It's lovely to meet you all. And this is my friend Blossom." I still don't say anything and I can see her roll her eyes out of the corner of my eyes.
I eye Dmitri once more and nod at Rose before side stepping the group and joining the boys as we head towards the office to register. We laugh as we hear Emily mumble an apology before she bounds up to us and slaps my arm.
"You know you don't have to be so rude" she snaps at me.
"What? I have places to be" I smirk as she rolls her eyes.
"Anyway, who was that guy?" She whisper yells at me. I shoot her a warning look to not expose me to the boys.
"Never seen him before" I reply, trying to sound as emotionless as possible.
"OH MY GOD IT'S HIM" Emily literally yells down the corridor. I clasp a hand over her mouth and scuttle off faster to the office.
"Who?" Josh frowns.
"None of your business Joshy Boy."
----------------------------------------------
We get our timetables and I sigh. I don't take any of the same classes as my friends as I do science and they all have a nervous breakdown at the word chemistry. I say goodbye as I make my way to my first class, physics as the bell goes.
The teacher welcomes me as I walk in and I smile weakly looking over the class. It's small and mostly dudes. And Dmitri is sat at the back staring at me. He's sat next to a tall girl with long blonde hair and flawless makeup. I push down the pang of jealousy and blame it on first day jitters.
I notice Rose and Dex are also in the class, with Rose waving at me.
"Miss Grey, as a new member of this class it is tradition that you derive an equation" the teacher shakes a pen in front of me and I take it looking over at the board. It's special relativity.
I make quick work of the maths, underlining my final equation and dropping the pen on the desk. I see Rose beckoning me over and I sit down in an empty seat next to her.
"It's good to see you again Blossom" Rose whispers and I notice Dex smile in agreement next to her. I'm surprised to find no hint of fakness in her tone and I smile in response.
"Are you two related?" I glance between them.
"Twins actually" they fist bump and smirk back at me.
The class goes by quickly despite the teacher picking on me for almost every answer. I get every question right. He seems both impressed and annoyed with me.
The one thing that bothers me though is the feeling of Dmitri's eyes on me the whole God damn time. I don't look at him once because I'm stubborn but I can just feel his presence. And I may be denying it but I am very bothered by that beautiful blonde girl next to him.
Out of the 3 girls here, I can't help but notice I look like a troll in comparison to the others. I mean it doesn't help I made absolutely no effort this morning but still.
I breathe a sigh of relief when the bell rings. Walking out with Rose and Dex I'm struck by how similar they actually look. Their eyes are the same honey colour and their hair has the same gentle wave to it.
Their parents must be gorgeous.
"So you transferred from Silverdale huh?" Dex asks as we walk.
"Yeah."
"How are you finding Middltons?"
"As schools go it's fine I guess. I'm still salty about missing my lie ins though" the twins chuckle.
"None of your friends take physics?"
"Oh God no, they're allergic to maths" I laugh.
"Oh don't we know something about that. Every time we pull out our textbooks our friends literally move tables." I laugh but stop and tense up when I feel someone walk up behind me. He's not touching me but I just know it's him.
"Oh hey Dmitri" Rose greets him as he walks beside me. I look at him to find him staring down at me as usual. Dear Lord I feel like I'm going to melt under his gaze.
Dex and Rose glance at each other.
"We're gonna head via biology so, see you later?" Rose asks hopefully. I want to beg her not to leave me alone with Dmitri but it's too late as they walk through a door to the left. I gulp and carry on walking, trying to remember to breath being so close to him.
I can't help but glare at all the girls that oggle at him as we walk through the school. I mean I don't blame them, he's hot as f**k but I want nothing more then to slap the lustful expressions off their faces.
It's worth saying I am well and truly lost so I'm following Dmitri like a sheep as we weave our way through students. All the hallways look the same I swear to God. I notice Dmitri's lip tugging up at the corner at my confused expression and I stare ahead annoyed at him laughing at me. I don't even notice as we walk past a group of jocks who wolfwhistle me. "Damn" I hear one of them say and I turn around about to fight someone but I'm stopped by Dmitri rushing past me and shoving the guy up against a locker, holding him by his throat.
"Dmitri what the hell man?" His friend tries to pull him off but stops when he's glared at. I don't blame the guy to be honest, I've seen what he can do.
"Don't ever talk about her like that again" He growls in the guys face, who's face is slowly turning a disturbing shade of purple. The guy nods but he doesn't let go. The situation is spiralling so I rush towards them as the poor guy's face stars turning blue.
"Dmitri stop!" I pull at him and he lets go suddenly, making the guy fall the the floor in a heap, gasping for breath. I instinctively pull Dmitri's hand as he stands there fuming and I bring my other hand to his cheek as he turns to face me.
"Let it go" I stare into his eyes and feel him lean into my hand caressing his cheek. He looks around at the people that have stopped to watch the commotion and he pulls me down the corridor after him.
