The New Student

After the maths quizz it was time for history class which was Lilly's favorite subject and she doesn't like getting to a class late. So she quickly made her way to the class where the history lessons are held.

Lilly walked into her history class, scanning the room for an empty seat. She spotted one near the back and made her way over, trying not to draw attention to herself. As she sat down, she noticed a new student sitting across from her. He was tall, with piercing blue eyes and jet-black hair that fell across his forehead in messy chunks.

Lilly felt a flutter in her chest as their eyes met, and she quickly looked away, trying to compose herself. She couldn't explain why, but there was something about the new student that made her feel nervous and intrigued at the same time.

The teacher, Mrs. Johnson, began to take roll call, and Lilly listened intently, trying to focus on the lesson. But her eyes kept drifting back to the new student, who seemed to be watching her with an intensity that made her skin prickle.

When Mrs. Johnson announced the assignment of a new project, Lilly's heart sank. She hated group work, and the thought of being paired with a stranger made her anxious. But as the teacher began to read out the pairings, Lilly's anxiety turned to surprise. She was paired with the new student, whose name was Alex.

As the class ended and the students began to file out, Lilly felt a sense of trepidation. She had no idea what to expect from Alex, or from their project together. But as she turned to leave, she felt a hand on her arm, and turned to see Alex smiling at her.

"Hey, I'm Alex," he said, his voice low and smooth. "I guess we're partners now." Lilly felt a shiver run down her spine as she smiled back at him. "I'm Lilly," she said, trying to sound casual. "Nice to meet you."

As they walked out of the classroom together, Lilly couldn't help but notice the way Alex's eyes seemed to sparkle with amusement. She felt a flutter in her chest, and suddenly, she was eager to get started on their project.

"I guess we should exchange numbers," Alex said, pulling out his phone. Lilly nodded, feeling a sense of excitement as she handed over her phone. As Alex typed in his number, their hands touched, and Lilly felt a jolt of electricity run through her body.

She pulled her hand back, feeling a flush rise to her cheeks. "So, when do you want to meet up to work on the project?" she asked, trying to sound nonchalant. Alex grinned, his eyes glinting with amusement. "How about tomorrow afternoon?" he suggested. Lilly nodded, feeling a sense of anticipation building inside her. She had no idea what the future held, but she was eager to find out.
