A wave of apprehension washed over me. There was something in his gaze that sent a chill down my spine.
His eyes, dark and penetrating, seemed to look right through me as if he knew secrets about me that even I, didn't know.
He looked like he could be a businessman or something else…I couldn't say but what unsettled me more was how he stared at me, as if he had been waiting for me to notice him. I felt my pulse quicken – a quick tremor passed through me, in my head, I wanted to look away but I just couldn't – why was he here? Was he a new teacher?
Suddenly, something said sharply in my ear, startling me as I bolted up from my seat.
"LOOK AWAY!"
I finally managed to tear my eyes away from the man, only to notice I was standing and everyone in my class was staring at me strangely including Mrs Caldwell and Ms. Hayley.
