I look at my science teacher as I notcied that he was pacing around the room. This could either mean good or bad news.

"Everyone, everyone. I have something exciting to tell you." Mr.Seville says.

"Yay," I mumble, rolling my eyes. I turn to my right to tell my partner how Mr.Seville is so predictable, but then i remembered. I had no partner.  Oh, how i wish there was someone that cared about me.

What Mr.Seville thinks of as "exciting" is really not exciting, Oh well, we are probably going to study a new chapter.

"We are recieving a new student today."

"Boy or girl?" someone shouts.

*clears throat* "Erik, is a boy." Mr.Seville says.

"And here he is!" Mr.Seville says while raising his eyebrows.

Erik solemly walked into the classrom. As he turned to get a full look at the clasrrom, I noticed that he was wearing  a white, half-mask.

"What could he bè hiding, other than half his face?" I whisper to myself.

Suddenly, Erik catches me looking at him. I was about to look away, as I usually did when someone caught me looking at them, but I could'nt help it. His eyes were as dark as the night, yet they carried all the sadness of the world. He looked at me with a longing of warmth and caring. I finally looked away, shaming myself for staring at him.
