Mystery

{Her POV(14 days later, Novermber 8th)}

*Beep Beep Beep Beep*

I wake up to my alarm going off early in the morning. I quickly smashed the snooze button before sighing.

It's a Monday. Dread runs over my body as I get ready for school.

I decided to dress casually today, leggings and a plaid jacket with a black tank top.

I walked down the stairs to the kitchen where I found my father eating a bowl of cereal and reading the news for the day.

"Goodmorning Sweetheart" my father says without looking up from his article.

"Morning" I say half yawning.

"Your mother packed you and your sister lunches, they're in the fridge"

"Thanks" I reply grabbing a mug to make coffee.

I grab another and hold it towards him expecting a response.

"Not today" I nod and put the mug back before preparing myself a coffee.

As the water finishes boiling my sister walks down the stairs groggily and not even ready for school.

I roll my eyes "Planning on walking alone today then?"

She glares at me "I'll be ready on time get off my ass"

"Let's not this morning girls, Nobody has fun on a monday" my dad chimes in.

I sip my coffee and breathe a sigh of relief as I feel the warm liquid coursing through my body, waking me up enough to prepare me for the day ahead.

I pull out my phone to look at the time, 20 minutes til school starts, we've got to leave now if we make it before the bell.

I glance hurriedly at my sister and tell her "We have to go, You have two minutes to get dressed"

I watch as she rushes up the stairs.

I put on my shoes while I wait.

2 minutes later she comes barreling down the stairs and tries to run out the door without shoes.

"Lila!" I yell as she runs down the street "You forgot shoes!"

She looks down at her feet like it's her first time seeing them and runs back like an idiot.

I walk out the door as she runs past me into the house. I know we'll be on time, I made her get ready 5 minutes before we usually leave because I knew she wouldn't check the time.

She catches up to me and slows to my walking pace.

After about 15 minutes of walking we arrive at the school.

After walking in through the courtyard me and my sister part ways, but not before doing our secret handshake.

I walk into class just as the bell rings and the professor commands for everyone to sit down.

"Now class today I have a special announcement" Professor Shu continues "We will be receiving an exchange student, All the way from-"

"Italy" a commanding voice cuts her off from the doorway.

"Looks like you're just on time" Prof. Shu says with a soft smile, Why don't you introduce yourself?

A tall man, must be about 6 ft or more steps through the doorway wearing black jeans, black leather motorcycle jacket and a white undershirt.

I was instantly drawn to his grey eyes, an extraordinary colour. Pairing that with his dark brown hair looked like something out of a dream.

Even though he had never met anyone here he was confident as he stepped to the front of the class and cleared his throat.

"You can call me Fusco, I'm from Italy. I apologize for getting here so late in the semester, The government took awhile to accept the application. I look forward to meeting you all."

I could feel my heart beating quickly in my chest as he found an empty seat beside me.

He took his seat and flashed a sly smile in my direction. We locked eyes as he caught me staring and I quickly turned away.

My cheeks flushed red as I thought about it.

The clock passed quickly as my mind raced, for some reason he kept drawing my attention. Though it looked like his whole demeanor changed.

He went from smiling to cold faced with hollow eyes in moments. He would smile only when he noticed people looking.

Finally after a few periods the bell rang to symbol the end of the schoolday.

He was last out of class and I followed him into the hall way.

I'm not sure why but I decided to grab his sleeve.

He turned to look at me, His face one of fear and quickly pulled his arm away from me.

Why would he do that?
