Thank you so much for picking my book. Now the image of Marcus is on the cover and the pic on the side-----------------------------------------------------------------> enjoy the story!!!

The clock seem to mock me as I stared at it. The more I glanced at the clock, the slower the hands would move. "Now the civil war had begun in...." my Social Studies teacher Mr.Burn seem to drone on about careless dates and times of the past. I droned him out enough that as i closed my eyelids, i was able to wonder off to my world. I was there alone, underneath my favorite oak tree in my backyard.

The sun casted a warm glow across everything and the clouds lazily drifted by, casting shadows as it past the sun. A Cool breeze picked up tossing loose leaves in the air, making them float and fly like they were flying to the beat of a song. I took a breath of air and inhaled the smell of lilacs growing near by and fresh turned up dirt in my mom's garden. I then took out my notebook and pencil and began to sketch out my view. Out of the corner of my eye I saw guy.

I quickly picked myself up and turned to him but he just took off running. I chased after him and as I got closer i could see he had white sneakers and he worn dark jeans and a black hoodie. He had pulled over his hood so I couldn't make out any features of him at all. I came close enough and grabbed his sleeve. I tugged at it and he immediately stopped. With hands like lighting, I ripped his hood of his head and saw long jet black hair spill across the back of his neck.

I was still holding on to his sleeve when all of sudden I felt a current of energy go through my arm. It hurt like if somebody grabbed my skin and twisted it with fury and it shocked me like being dumped with ice cold water.

"Neveah, Neveah". My name was being called out but I didn't pay attention. I just wanted to see him. I ignored the pain in my arm and tried to glance at his face. ever so slowly he turned around. My name was being called out louder, practically shouting.

As he turned to face me, I was then pulled out of my dream and came face to face with a red, sweaty, angry Mr.Burn. "I've been shouting your name for the past five minutes!" he yelled. I gave him a blank stare of confusion and blinked my eyes. "Didn't you hear me?" he yelled. I slowly shook my head no which made him go to his  desk and take out a pink slip and pen. He wrote on the pink slip  and handed it over to me. "Principle's office after class during lunch. That will put a stop of you dozing of during my class," he said with a smirk. Everyone around me giggled and eyed me so I did my best to hide my burning cheeks with my hair as I leaned over my notebook.

The sudden sharp piercing sound of the bell rang, so I gather my things as fast as I could and ran out of the class with laughter and whispers following me out. "Just great," I thought while crumbling the pink slip in my hand. I sighed and walked to the principle's office.

I walked faster by the minute and ignored my classmates from last period. "Ugh! Stupid Mr.Burns," I thought. As I reached the office, I could see inside a guy standing by the sign in desk. "Must be a tardy," I thought. But he didn't look familiar , let alone he doesn't even go to this school. He was wearing white sneakers, dark jeans and a....black hoodie. Its was the guy from my little dream during Social Studies.

I immediately started opening the door to the office, when he turned around and locked eyes with me. I almost gasped at the sight of his eyes. They were grey. They were so intense and full of life that they were almost hard to look at. His jet black hair fell into his eyes, breaking the trance I was in about his eyes. He gave a small smile and turned around to receive his papers and schedules. "Um, neveah do you think you can show Marcus around the campus dear? It would be so kind of you," said Ms.Brown from behind her desk.

I nodded my head yes, too shock to say words. She smiled to show her gratitude and turned back to her computer screen. Marcus walked right up to me and I could feel his eyes piercing through me. As he got closer I saw that he was very well tanned, and well built. He has long hair that reach below his ears and mega long eyelashes that I new many girls would kill for. His lips were a light shade of pink and were naturally colored. I looked up to him and as his stared at me his eyes widen. I had forgotten about my eyes. My eyes were a very piercing blue that they were so bright that people are shocked at first to see them.

"Um hi my name is Marcus", he said. His voice was deep and soft but with a hit of power hidden in it. "Um, my name is neveah," I said looking down. "Hey that's heaven spelled backwards, I like your name," he said smiling, his eyes reflecting under the lights. I smiled. "Thanks," I said. I looked down feeling heat creep up my cheeks as he stood there smiling at me. I looked up at him and he was still smiling. "Um let me show you the lunch room Marcus," I said leading him out of the office into the lunchroom.

The stale smell of overcooked pizza wafted from the food stands, and the sound of clinking and banging of silverware and plates rung the lunchroom along with the chatter and laughter of people. The minute we walked in, everyone turned around to us and stopped talking. The girls gawked at marcus while the boys eyes filled with jealousy from the attention Marcus was getting. "Here, let me hold your bag and books for you," he said smiling at me.

I blushed and handed my stuff to him with my clammy hands. He swunged my bag over his shoulder and carried my books in his other arm. Soon, girl started to whisper with envy at the move he did with me and gave me dagger eyes that could have sliced a log in half. Marcus soon chattered about how he moved from California to here and his family as we claimed our table.

 I listened, enchanted by his eyes the way they sparkled when he talk. "So tell me about your life neveah." he said with a grin. So I did. I told him about my family and how I love art and reading and writing stories about anything and doing it so outdoors. He started laughing and then looked me in the eyes and said "Neveah, I now know were going to get along well." He said it while smiling and his grey eyes glowing with excitement.

I'm new at this so if i mess up at some parts sorry about that. I really hope you enjoy my story and I will write more to it!!
