Having a guy trip over me while I was trying to tie my shoe wasn't my plan for today, but some things are unavoidable I guess.
Especially when that guy is Desoto Alcaeus.
This guy is hot as all nine circles of hell, and considering this is inside my head I have absolutely no fear about admitting it.
I've been going to the same school as this kid for about three years now. Never once spoken to him. Don't get ahead of yourself though, I don't have a crush on him. I just happen to be a very observant guy. Who is also gay. With an extreme weakness against any attractive guy. (Unless he's a douche, even I have standards.)
Anyway, moving on.
"Are you new here?" ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
"No." Look at me, putting the moves on him. I'm so smooth.
Yeah right.
The confused look on his face almost has me running for the hills but the current anxiety I'm going through has paralyzed me.
"Really? I've never seen you before." Maybe I'm morosexual, because this boy is not observant in the slightest.
I guess letting Kay dress me up had it's perks. She insisted on it since it's the first day of our senior year. I'm wearing a corset, that was one thing I didn't have any input on at all but it's surprisingly comfortable.
Other than that I'm wearing high waisted olive green jeans with a cream colored blouse and a navy jacket. I feel like I should be slightly embarrassed that my sisters clothes fit me so well.
I'm not complaining though.
Once I manage to get out of my own head for a moment I study his face, chestnut brown hair that curls around his ears and at the nape of his neck, amber eyes that turn blue in the center and tanned skin. Pretty boys will always be my weakness.
Looking back to his eyes I notice that we've been staring at each other for a while and gather my things quickly.
Gotta blast.
I make my way to the school and I feel Desoto's stare at my lower back, at least I think it's my lower back.
If it isn't I'm not complaining but-
Oh stars, I gotta run. The shrill sound of our warning bell rings through my ears painfully and I make my way to homeroom as quick as possible.
A page from Eerie's POV because I realized that I didn't say anything about how Des looked. Also Eerie will occasionally narrate but as you can tell from this chapter, he isn't the most reliable narrator sometimes.
Also Eerie's outfit is based off of an outfit my friend made me wear for my first day of high school. I still have it, and somehow it still fits to this day.
Desoto is not the smartest, he knows that he won't be no matter how hard he tries. So he makes up for it with pure determination and optimism. He pressures himself to be the comedic relief and it can be debilitating. Something he picked up from his parents.
Eerie tries his best but struggles to keep up with his own expectations and overwhelms himself constantly. He'd much prefer to just pick up his phone and blast some 60s rock while he works on whatever trinket or car he's messing with than face reality. Or his peers.
Maybe these new friends can help each other come to terms with their own issues and help each other. Will they both actually communicate or will they try to run away from each other? Let's find out.
