Luckett's Academy : Private School

I'll never forget the first time I saw him. I had decided I would walk to school that day.

And it was raining.

"Shit." I cursed running into the building.

I was wet and annoyed, so I wasn't exactly paying attention to where I was going. I rushed inside the building and that's when I bumped into him.

"I'm sorry." I sighed.

"You good, ma'." He replied smoothly.

He eyed me a little longer. "You're soaked."

I looked up at him and I realized I didn't recognize him. He was wearing the school uniform. But he wasn't familiar to me at all.

"Are you new?"

He smiled.

He had such a pretty smile.

"Is it that obvious?"

I laughed a little. "I just didn't recognize you and I know everyone ." I said as I started to walk a little further into the school building. "I'm soaked." I sighed, looking at my shirt.

"I have an extra shirt in my locker if you want it." He frowned. "Even though I'm not sure I know how get back into that motherfucker."

I smiled at the offer. "Thanks." I laughed. "Don't think my boyfriend would appreciate me wearing another boy's shirt."

"Boyfriend, huh?" He said. "Well, lucky him."

I stopped walking and my eyes caught his for a second. And I had the chance to get a good look at him.

He was cute. He had short curly hair, pretty teeth, nice skin. As soon as he fully made himself known the girls would be all over him.

Not to mention he was tall.

He smiled a little before reaching into his book bag.

"Well since I have you." He started. "Would you mind helping me find my classes?" He said, showing me the paper.

I stared at it as my eyebrows shot up in shock. "Hm."

"What?" He glanced at me.

"Well. We have first period together. And we have a few other classes together."

He smirked. "So I'll at least know somebody in a few of my classes."

I playfully rolled my eyes. "Boy, you don't know me."
