Infinite Fear
welcoming
committee is so friendly,” he retorts sarcastically, but as I meet
his eyes, I notice a glint of amusement there.
    “Jade’s in class, she’ll be back later.
Usually people who drop by call first, to figure that out,” I
answer with as much feigned boredom as I can manage. He is very
distracting, and for some reason unbeknownst to me, I am very
intrigued. He has the most amazing full lips and what I thought
were dark brown eyes. But now, as I see them catch the sunlight
from the window, I notice that they are a kaleidoscope of light and
dark brown, with an ever so slight hint of green.
    “Did you miss the part where I said
surprise? Don’t you think a phone call may have defeated the
purpose slightly?” he answers cockily.
    “So I’m sure you can come back when she’s
here. And you can leave now. Some of us need to get dressed and get
to classes. I hear the hallway is a nice place to loiter,” I reply
sarcastically, annoyed by his arrogance.
    His face lights up with mischief.
“Oh there’s no need for you to put clothing on, on account of me. I
don’t have a problem with what you’re wearing. Just saying.” He
smiles and allows his eyes to scan up and down my body. This guy is incorrigible! Even with my robe, I suddenly feel extremely naked and
exposed. Then I notice the cheeky dimple that has formed on his
left cheek, and I realize he’s being a smart ass.
