She passed me while laughing with her friend, beautiful as ever. Her light brown hair was pulled back by a black headband, her hazel eyes sparkled with happiness, and her plump lips were formed into a secret smile. Everything about her was utterly irresistible.
A waft of her scent formed around me in a magical cloud. I inhaled her scent, strawberries mixed with a little bit of something I could never pinpoint. I closed my eyes and let myself enjoy the moment and imagine she was laughing with me instead.
I heard a person smack me upside the head and I opened my eyes dazedly to see my friend a little annoyed by my ignoring him. His lips moved but I couldn't hear him. Then all of a sudden the moment snapped and I was back in reality.
"August, are you even listening to me?" Leo asked me with a pointed look. I shook myself out from the side effects of seeing and smelling Arabella. Leo had his back leaning against the locker and looking at me expectedly.
"Umm... Huh?" I asked and he let out an annoyed sigh scratching the back of his head. Leo was a very athletic person. We both played football and tried our hardest. His black hair was everywhere and I stared at him expediently.
"Those girls have been staring at you ever since the last bell rang!" He said pointing over at two girls looking at me with lust in their eyes. Both were very pretty and any guy would want them. Except for me, I only had one girl on my mind.
"Dude, that would be a nice lay, a nice piece of ass, both of them. I bet you could get them in bed at the same time." He said and I just shook my head and laid my hand on his shoulder. He gave me a disappointed look before rolling his eyes.
"Bruh," He groaned out slow and low. I gave him an unamused look and he gave me one back. "You're missing out because you're a mother fucking pussy!" I gave him a nasty glare and shut my locker after putting my stuff up.
"I am not a pussy Leo, I'm just not a man whore like you," I tell him as I start to walk down the hall. He hurriedly followed me, with a look of embarrassment on his face. A snap came from his wrist as he nervously played with the rubber bracelet.
I had had sex before, unfortunately. I regretted it right after I had done it, even shedding a couple of tears. It might sound crazy but I had always had this dream of sharing my first time with Arabella. Her face flashed in my mind.
"Hey, um," Leo said and rubbed the back of his neck like he always did when he was nervous. He leaned closer to me so no one else could hear him. "You don't really think I'm a man whore right?" he said sadly.
"Of course not," I lied. He was undoubtedly a man whore. I had to listen to him fuck a different girl each night. If it was possible his dick would be limp as a fucking noodle. "You just need to learn how to control yourself."
We started up the stairs and I saw the tip of Arabella's head. My heart rate sped up at the sight. She was turning the corner to the lady's hall. Where all the girl's dorm rooms were. My eyes followed her head before it was cut off.
"Right, right..." He said and cleared his throat. I was curious why he was so damn nervous. It never seemed to bother him before when I called him a man whore, maybe even a little proud of the title. I gave him a sideways glance as we made it up the stairs.
"What's got you so riled up Leo?" I asked. He let out a sigh and looked both ways before leaning down once more to my ear. His breath hit my ear before my nose inhaled the scent of mint toothpaste.
"It's this girl," He whispered in my ear. My ear perked up at this news. Leo had never mentioned any girl to me unless he was about to fuck her later that night. I gave up on my search for Arabella and gave him my undivided attention.
"You like someone, don't you?" I state and he blushes and once again rubs the back of his head. The red on his cheek suited him shockingly. He made him look more approachable and I couldn't help it when the corner of my mouth tilted up into a smile.
