Preface

I unwillingly walked into the classroom, dreading this very moment. I introduced myself to the teacher and luckily didn't have to introduce myself to the class, who at this point, were all looking at me. As I walked, I kept my eyes on the only empty seat that my teacher had assigned me to, avoiding any eye contact from my fellow classmates, but to my luck, I tripped over a book in the walkway.

This was all too familiar.

I shut my eyes, ready for the fall, but just as I was about to hit the floor, surprisingly a pair of strong arms caught me. I waited a few seconds before opening my eyes. When I finally opened them, I couldn't help but look around the room at my classmates. Nobody moved, there wasn't a stir in the room and all was silent. My classmates anxiously looked to see what had happened while some others had amused looks on their face. I blushed as being the center of attention embarrassed and overwhelmed me.

Then, I looked up to see my hero, and suddenly, the hole in my chest was gone. It completely disappeared as if there was never a hole to tear me in the first place, because my hero was him. He was still beautiful and his untidy hair was still the strange but perfect shade of bronze… but his eyes… his eyes, were different. They were… green.
