Those Hazel Eyes

...You light me up inside, like the fourth of July whenever you're around, I always seem to smile...

^^^~Becky G^^^

I usually take the bus or maybe the Uber when I miss the bus. Jack told me he'd but me car on my 16th birthday but I felt like it's not right to receive something so expensive from my mom's boyfriend well actually Husband. So, I just refused his offer.

I'm walking down the street with AirPods in my ears, vibing on the music.I always do this on my way to the bus stop. It's a calm windy day. Crowds of pedestrians, employees can be seen walking along the pavements outside the shops and some trying to cross the road.

The noise of cars and taxis hooting. And few more people waiting for the bus to arrive at the bus stop. I join them standing at the corner with music blasting in my ears.

I have no idea why, but today I feel like something good is really gonna happen. I never had this kind of feel on my first day to school.

"Beep Beep Beep!" The bus driver honks. I get into the bus and take an empty seat beside a window. The cold breeze of fall hits my face once the bus starts. I love this season so much as the weather is not so cold nor so hot. I feel like it's just the perfect time for anything.

I place my head on to the glass door of the window closing my eyes pleased by everything around me. I wish I can stay like this forever. After a while the bus stops in front of my school, leaving me no choice but to get my butt out of the bus.

I unplug my AirPods as I get off the bus putting them back in my back-pack safe and sound. All of a sudden, I start to get really nervous and the sense of reality hit me. The Happy-feeling I had this morning was long gone. Walking towards the school gate all I see is a huge group of high school students getting in, calm and cool showing off their brand-new uniforms unlike me.

I look to the left and right of me everyone seems to be enjoying the first day of school. As I get into the building I walk through the hallway with my head hung low. To be honest I'm the most introverted person in the whole school. Like without my best friend Olivia I'm nothing. She's my only closest friend. It's not that I'm a loner. I do have a few acquaintances. It's that I'm comfortable with only one person and that is Olivia Slater.

We are inseparable. But, Olivia's nothing like me. She's a cute girl with extroverted nature unlike me who's extremely awkward around New people. She's a social butterfly, so she got many friends whereas, I'm that party pooper who hates socializing. Even though she got many friends she says that I'm her only special friend. There were times I used to feel insecure and doubt whether she really thinks of me as her best friend. But, she was right there to reassure me about that.

She's that girl whom everyone likes and that dream girl every boy wanna be with, a perfect mixture of coolness and cuteness. She can make friends in no time with the kind of charm she holds. Not only that, but she's the kindest person I've ever met with.

It was five years ago when my mom, I, Jack and Annie all together moved next to Olivia's home.

We were all too much engrossed

in unpacking, when we heard a continuous knock trice. Mom told me to go check who that was. I have gone to the door and opened it to be met with a blonde haired girl around my age in a pink floral gown holding a basket and blonde haired guy a foot or two taller and a bit older than me cladded in black from head to toe. They are siblings I supposed, seeing the similarities they have.

" Hello, I'm Olivia and this is my big brother James! We are your neighbors" The girl chirped. I just smiled at her and said " Oh, Hi! I'm Alexa." I said with a little hand-wave. " Here, these are for you guys. My mom told me to give you these as a welcome gift." She explained, handing me the basket she has been holding. " Oh, Thank You." I thanked her taking the basket full of walnuts.

I was about to close the door when she questioned me again. " What grade are you In? " " I'm gonna be in 6th after this summer." I answered her. " Oh! We are the of the same age I guess." She squealed. I pressed my lips into a thin line and said, "Okay, that's great to know. I'll take…" " Which school do you go to?" She asked stopping me midway. " Middleton "I breathed out starting to get annoyed. " STOP! You're joking. We go to the same school." She screamed her lungs out.

"Who is it, Alexa? " My mom yelled from a distance coming towards the main door. " Is that your Mom? " Olivia asked. " Oh who's this little cutie we got Here? " My mom cooed looking at Olivia. James was long gone. " Um, Hey Alexa's Mother! I'm Olivia. My mom sent you guys these walnuts as a welcome gift." Olivia chimed. My mom giggled and said" I'm Katherine Evans, What grade are you in? "

" Alexa and I are in the same grade and will go to the same school, Mrs. Evans. " She beamed. I internally rolled my eyes at her. It's not that I'm cold-hearted but as I said I don't get comfortable with people that easily. Back then Olivia was one of those people.

" That's great! You guys can become best buddies." Mom spoke clapping her hands together. " I know right. " Olivia replied grinning wide flashing her beautiful white teeth. " Yeah, well Alexa I'll do the rest of the unpacking. You can go ahead and spend some time with your new friend." Mom stated pushing me outside. I looked at her with pleading eyes but, she didn't even look me in the eye and shut the door on our Faces. " So, What do you wanna do? Should we go play in the park nearby?" Olivia suggested.

"Where ever you wanna go." I said trying my best not to express my annoyan… Oh, boy! I just bumped into a wall. Oh my God, I'm falling. Nah-ah this can't be my first day of high School. I don't wanna become a laughingstock of the year. Oh, my butt! Why am I so clumsy?

My hands come in contact with the cold floor, My eyes have been closed for a while now. I open my eyes to see a pair of legs turning on their heels in my direction. Wait a minute, Did I just bump into a person. There's no way! It definitely felt as hard as a wall.

I look up to meet the most charming guy I've ever seen in my whole life. Those long brown bangs of his covering most of his glistening Hazel eyes. That pointy nose and his chiseled jawline that could cut me into half.

His jaw ticks starring deep into my soul with those eyes giving me a cold glare. Those Hazel Eyes feel so familiar. As if I've known them for ages. Any kind of sound around me fades out as I stare into his inquisitive eyes.

" NOAH!!"
