"who are you"
The question came as a jolt of cold water on my already cold body. Of course, he doesn't recognise me. I kept myself in isolation immediately I started noticing significant changes in my body, like my eye colour. It felt like I was living with a new virus that no one could figure out. I switched off my phone and warned mom,dad and Emily not to tell anything to anyone, including riley.i even left for Florida knowing he'll come to my house in Boston.

"uuuhhh" I seem to be tongue tied at the moment and unable to form real words.

"i said who are you?!", he repeats.

"Emma." I reply shortly.
i wrap the blanket all over me and stand up ,awkwardly using my left hand to keep it in place.i attempt to walk over to the door but strong arms pushed me to sit on the bed.

"Riley,this is not the time.you have to go now.unless you want an injury down there".I say with a scowl.

he raised and eyebrow and smirks.
"first tell me who you are and what you're doing here,yeah and how do you know my name?"

  "I can't explain now dude. It's me, Emma, but I'm not really surprised you don't recognise me, it's my fault."

  "no you're not" he says eyeing me.

  "yeah sure I'm a  sexy serial killer who came to take her life." I deadpan
  "of course I'm her!" I exclaim exasperatedly

  "Really!?,okay.if you really are em,tell me what happened at my seventh birthday party."

i grin.
  "you mean when you attempted a cannonball in the pool and your swimming trunk came off,then you tried to take logan's off so you can wear it?"

  His eye widen and i think i see a shade of pink on his cheeks.

i grin again.

  "Emma? what the heck happened to you!? "Did you get a face job? and you've been working out haven't you!?......i still dont believe its you."

  "Riley,it's me. i definitely dont know how-" i gesture a sweeping hand to my body "this happened either,i'm just as shocked as you and everyone else."

"whooooa...so it really is you?"

  i stare blantly at my dummy of a best friend
"duh..its me.Did you know,mom had to come with me to Mr woods' office before I was able to register for this semester?,he thought i was some kind of imposter"

  i feel like i'm talking to a brick wall because riley keeps staring at me with a confused expression.it's really obvious that he's overwhelmed by all this.However,his confusion is nothing compared to mine,after all he's not the one that spent two weeks locked in a bedroom,wallowing in deserts and expecting impending doom to befall him at any minute.

i glance at the clock hanging on the wall.oh great.i'm already ten minutes late.

i snap my fingers in riley's face "riley,riley,you have to stop staring and get out of my room."

"but...but—"
i push him towards the door.once at the door,he turns around to face me and opens his mouth to as if to say something,but i slam the door in his face.
wait.i just realised this,my wrist isn't hurting anymore.well what do you know.

i shuffle through my closet to find clothes.i finally settle on a pair of black skinny jeans,a floral blouse my blue hoodie and blue converse.not suprisingly,lindsy is still in the bathroom.i wasn't kidding when i said 'its now or an hour later'.

"lindsy i'm leaving,try not to get killed or kidnapped,and stay out of my closet." I scream and I hear muffled sounds in response. Good enough.
that last part was unnecessary because she definitely will not stay out of my closet.

  I walk out of the apartment,a little part of me wished riley was still waiting for me.i definitely don't want to ride the bus alone.it's times like this that make me wish i had a car.

i walk to the bus stop.i have an eerie feeling that someone's watching me,but i dismiss it,convincing myself that im just paranoid.besides,these days, everyone seems to be watching me

I finally get to the bus stop,the bus will arive in ten minutes.i would've been in school right now but instead i'm sitting at the bus stop all thanks to my idiot best friend.it makes me remember spongebob and patrick.i giggle at the thought.

Someone comes to sit beside me.i don't bother looking up. the person clears his throat,the voice sounds husky and deep,making me realise it's a man.

"Excuse me," he says.
i don't reply him
"I'm sorry to disturb you ,i was wondering where colston university is,i'm not farmiliar with this ..um...place."

i slowly look up ,my eyes meet his and they threaten to pop out from their sockets .God! he's beautiful.
His hazel eyes widen at the sight of my face.his hair is dark and ruffled like he just rolled out of bed.his dark pink lips part and i can't help but stare a them.

He's staring back at me and neither of us look away.

the bus arives,making us jump .i rip my eyes from his gaze and glanced inside the bus.i don't say a word and dart into the bus.i sense someone following me.i don't look back.

what if its hazel eyes?

Just when i thought things couldn't get more awkward,i sit in the middle,close to the window.i stare at the bench where i met the most beautiful creature ever just 30 seconds ago.i wonder where he's seated.

i tear my gaze from the bench to search for hazel eyes. I turn my head and almost immediately, our eyes lock.

seriously!
i'm not complaining or anything but why does he keep staring?

i quickly tilt my head in the direction of the window .i dont look anywhere else until i get down from the bus.

i finally get away from him and i am both relieved and dissapointed, Relieved to get away from the awkward tension and dissapointed because— Uh, I don't know.
i take a deep breath and walk towards the college catching an enormous amount of people staring at me. i get it people,i look different.i ignore their stares and walk towards the class.

Relieved that the lecturer isn't even here yet,i walk up the stairs to find my favourite seat.much to my suprise,its empty.at least something goes my way today.

Its only when i sit that i find everyone staring at me.i don't bother explaining myself again.i put my head on the desk but i can still feel a million eyes percing through my back.where the hell is lindsy!

"Okay class,i'm sorry for being late." "i am Mr. Trever Reese,and i am your new mathematics lecturer"

  Why does that voice sound so farmiliar?
i look up to take a view of the man and i think it's safe to say i'm fucked.Yes I'm definitely fucked!

My eyes immidiately meet hazel eyes and he's staring back at me.
