Chapter 34: Isach Zoya, Part 2

I waited silently for a few seconds. When he didn't move out of my way, I stepped up behind him and loudly cleared my throat. "Excuse me. This is my locker."

He spun around and looked at me wide eyed. I took an instinctive step back. His hair was light brown, and his eyes were a stunning shade of green I'd never seen before. They were mesmerizing, and I couldn't look away even though I wanted to.

I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out, so I clamped my lips shut. Then I tilted my head, studying him. I had this strange feeling that I knew him, or at the very least had seen him somewhere before, but I couldn't figure out where.

"I'm sorry." His voice was rich and velvety. "I think I might be a little lost." He held up the paper he'd been crumpling in his hand. "The woman in the office told me my locker was in the same hall as my first class, and I can't seem to find either one." He chuckled and looked away, breaking the spell he had on me.
