The Dark Kiss

She looked up and saw him. He wasn't any ordinary guy, he was much more handsome. With his dark brown hair and eyes, tan skin, and supple lips, he slowly walked down the cafeteria into his favorite seat. I turned away trying not to stare, but I was drawn to him like a moth to a flame. His eyes lured me in and I couldn't help but stare into those chocolate eyes that made me melt next thing I knew....

 

He was there right in front of me "hey" he said. I didn't know what to say back. I tried to talk, but the words wouldn't come out. Finally, I said "hi" as I started to chew on my apple. He looked at me and then started to smile "what's your name?" he asked softly. "Michelle, and yours?". He stared at me for a minute then said " Damen, uh I got to go to class. Maybe me and you can talk some other time." then he walked away. I wanted to know him, somehow he seem different from most guys, more mature. After school I went home, and walked up to my room. I tried to look him up on Facebook, but he didn't have one. I know I only knew his first name, but I thought for sure I would find it. As I lay on my bed trying to go to sleep, all I could think about was him, and only him.

 

When I got to school the next day I didn't care about any of my classes, all I cared about was talking to Damen. when it was lunch time I sat in my normal spot with all my friends, and saw him come towards our table. What do I say? Do I look ok? Omg he is right in front of me. " Hello Michelle, how is your day treating you so far?" he said as he took the seat right next to mine. "Ummm, it's going good I guess." I said with a grin. " So Damen, what brings you to our table? I mean not that we don't like you, but shouldn't you be over with the cool people?" Ashley said looking at Damen with a smirk. " Well maybe I don't wanna be cool today." he said looking at me. I feel so awkward, I mean me, clumsy, frizzy haired, hazel eyed freak, next to Damen the hottest guy in school. Me and him just don't look right together, sitting side by side talking to each other. " I looked you up on Facebook, but you don't have one." I said looking confused, when really I just wanna know why he doesn't have one. " No I don't, I don't like Facebook if I wanted to see or talk to someone I'd rather do it in person." he said looking straight into my eyes. " Oh, that's a really good reason." Ashley said in a flirty manner. " Yeah, uhh Michelle can I talk to you after school?" Damen asked so softly it was like a whisper. "Totally, meet me by my truck." I said. " ok, well then I guess I will see you after school." Damen said getting up from his seat. I nodded, and then he walked away.

 

Later that day I see Damen standing by my car smiling at me. " hey" I said with a grin " hi" he said suddenly looking serious. " I don't know how to say this, but we shouldn't hang out together." he said looking at me so seriously I felt like I did something wrong. " What. Why?" I said confused. " You and I are... I don't know.... Just stay away from me from now on, and I promise you won't get hurt." he said looking away in disgust. " Why would I get hurt? I don't understand?" I said confused even more. " you don't need to understand just stay away from me." he said walking away. I felt bad, like I just got rejected by the hottest guy in school. Why did he say I might get hurt? This was a question i was dying to have answered, but how can it be if I'm supposed to stay away from him.

 

So of course I stood away. Even though I was in agony I stood away, at least for 24 hours. Then I thought who was he to tell me what to do. I want to march right up to his door and give him a piece of my mind, but I can't. I don't know where he lives, plus I don't wanna seem like a stalker. Maybe what Ashley said during english class was right. Maybe he is too perfect for people like me, hazel eyed frizzy haired freaks. When I got to school the next day everything was normal, except today I wouldn't go straight home. Today I was gonna follow Damen to his house, without him knowing.
