Kale's POV
Yeah, yeah, you're all happy. Don't have to rub it in poor me's face. Those were my precise thoughts as I slid open the door prepared to escape the hell hole that was my classroom in favour of the more deserted and quiet lab room. However, my entire body was left frozen as once more my eyes made contact with deep, swirling, mysterious emerald ones. I could basically see light particles floating around her iris with how close we were, and strangely enough, rather than wanting to get away, I wanted to get closer.
Closer, closer, closer, closer-
I snapped back to normal when instead of my hand, which I had unconsciously reached out, touching mystery girl's face, it was being held in her soft, quaint, little, soft, cute, oh my goodness, did I mention soft-
"Hey!" Her sharp tone of voice brought me out of, once again another, revery and I pulled my hand away from hers as quickly as you would yours away from fire.
"Oh sorry" I muttered tilting my body to the side so I could walk past her. Mystery girl wasn't letting me have it though as she blocked my path with her body.
Damn, she smells so nice I could only think. Afterall, it was my first being this close to a girl or anyone other than street brats for that matter.
"Yes?" I raised a questioning brow showing no expression on my face. Good thing I learned to do that, one thing that proves dad was actually useful.
"Isn't it just a minute to first period?" Her wonderful voice sounded inciting the urge to smile so I couldn't help the slight upward curve of my lip at the side.
"So?" I kept my questioning look on my face,
Although I've never held a conversation this long with anyone, I'm pretty sure this is the part where she leaves me alone.
"We go into the class not out of it" she answered with a tone that sounded like she was talking to a dummy which, by the way, greatly offended me. However, before I could complain the rude ass angel, yes I can't bear to call her a bitch, pulled me by the hand back into the class and sat with me at the pair of seats at the back of the class. At this point, I wasn't the only one staring at our conjoined hands ...conjoined..... I pulled my hand away from hers quickly and turned my head the other way to hide my blush.
"Hahahaha, it's great to see someone finally controlling you Mr. Mattyr" My eyes snapped forward to glare at Mr. Thatch, our geography teacher. Control? What the hell do they take me for, some dummy with no direction both in life and reality? Oh hell no.
He seemed to sense my annoyance and simply cleared his throat and turned his head towards the board making me even annoyed as it seemed he was now ignoring me. like what the hell? You say that and now don't want me to say my own piece? Discriminate much. I felt a thump on my leg and turned my head sideways to look at mystery girl who was now staring at me with an expression that looked like confusion. What happened suddenly clicked in my head and I raised a brow not at all annoyed.
"Did you just kick me?" I asked and she nodded saying nothing more. I sighed "and why did you do that?" I muttered with much more patience than I thought myself capable
"You were intimidating him" she answered in a breathless whisper her eyes still not leaving mine. I usually get angry at this point for being misunderstood, but I couldn't find it in myself to get angry at the little angel. Yes little, she could be about 5'0 for all I know
"I was just glaring at him while thinking up what to say" I explained reducing my voice to the same level as hers beginning to state back into her eyes, they were so fucking mesmerizing.
A curt cough coming from the seat in front of us broke us out of whatever static electricity bubble had enveloped us before and this greatly annoyed me so I glared at the stupid perp in response making the person freeze up annoying me all the more.
Why disturb a person in a fucking moment if you're not going to say anything -
"Hm-hm, well you were taking too long" mystery girl muttered under her breath after clearing her throat. I raised a brow at her but seeing as she wasn't paying anymore attention to me I simply leaned back into my seat folding my arms behind my neck.
Come to think of it, I don't know her name and I was about to ask, except stupid Mr. Thatch just had to call her up.
"Everyone, I'm sure you already know who this is as she was introduced already this morning at homeroom but I'd like to re-introduce our new student for class of 23/24, Miss Miller, please" he started gaining my interest. Oh, so that's what she was doing earlier I thought
"Hello everyone, my name is Avory Miller and I hope we can get along" with that she bowed and I couldn't help smiling as I tried out her name on my tongue "Avory Miller, Avory huh" I looked around noticing everyone's eyes on her
Is it just me or is Avory super popular after just one introduction?....

Kale's POV
As fate would have it, Avory was an art major like me so we had all our classes together.
If you're wondering, geography along with some other boring subjects that are supposed to help with survival, are mandatory for all students.
At this point, which was close of school point, I was just walking slightly behind her like an escort. Now I mind a lot of things involving escorts, but I don't mind anything as long as it's with Avory.
"What are you doing?" Avory, for some reason the name seemed like the most delightful name the moment I found out it was little angel's, tilted her head upward to look at me making me smile.
"Escorting you" I replied gesturing for her to open her locker with my chin, she looked at me weirdly before complying and I put my fine arts textbook in it. She sighed also putting hers in.
"Is this how you act with every stranger" she muttered with a hint of helplessness in her voice.
"This is how I act with friends, oh and by the way, you're my first friend ever" I added the last part so she would be aware of how lucky she is and how honoured she should be. She snorted seemingly finding my statement amusing.
"With how popular you are? What don't tell me you think you're too good for them" she retorted rolling her eyes, this made me frown, deeply.
"What the hell do you mean? Everyone here looks at me like I'm a creep and avoids me like I'm the plague, they're obviously bullying me so why would I be friends with them?" I questioned starting to get pissed as I recalled how I'd been isolated the moment I stepped into this school.
Avory's reaction, however, was very... unexpected. Her eyes widened and mouth dropped open as she stared at me in shock.
Can she also not believe the nerve of them?
She suddenly burst out laughing, she laughed so hard she had to hold the lockers for support and when I thought she'd still fall over anyway, I held her waist to support her. Was my misery that funny to her?
She finally stopped laughing and simply stared at me a stupid grin, which honestly sent my heart running a thousand miles an hour, "what?" I asked and she guffawed with an are-you-serious expression on her face
"Bro, just how fucking clueless are you?"
