When Sarah first saw the new guy, she lost her breath. She had been walking to catch up to her best friend, Erin, when an incredible car swerved right in front of her to park in an empty parking place.What a jerk! Sarah thought angrily. She scowled at the shiny, black sports car. She was about to give the car’s bumper a pretend kick — she did this only when she was extremely mad– when the driver’s door burst open. Sarah jumped back, startled. The driver slowly climbed out of the car. He seemed to grow larger as every inch of him came into view. Sarah tried to glimpse his face but he hid his features behind dark sunglasses. He didn’t seem to see her. He stretched sensually, placing his arms high above his head. It was amazing that such a tall guy- over six feet- could fit inside that almost flat-looking car. The guy groaned loudly as he completed his stretch, a sound that immediately blushed Sarah’s face. She watched, mesmerized, as he grabbed a black backpack from the passenger seat and, with a quick slam of the door, made his way towards the front of the school. The wind seemed to flirt with his disheveled, milk chocolate hair curls. Sarah exhaled. She hadn’t realized she’d been holding her breath. Who was that? Just as the guy disappeared into the school, Erin’s face appeared in front of Sarah’s. “OH. EM. GEE!” Erin cried aloud. “Did you SEE that guy? I think I am going to melt into a pool of mush.” Sarah grinned at her best friend. “Of course I saw him. Well, only sort of saw him. I saw his back.” Erin elbowed her in the stomach. “That’s the best male back the two of us will probably ever see in our entire lives,” Erin breathed with an exaggerated sigh. “We have to find out his name and where he’s from. Do you think he’s in our grade?” Sarah rolled her eyes. “Come on, Erin, did you see that guy or only kind of see him? He’s beyond us. We can’t get the guys around here to notice us. There’s no way a guy like that will even know we exist.” Erin wasn’t listening. She was texting excitedly to someone, probably Pam, the other best friend, about the new guy. “Oh em gee. Listen to this. Pam said she saw his face! He’s to die for!” Erin pretended to faint into Sarah’s arms. “Yikes, Erin, jeez. Get a grip, will you?” Sarah laughed, trying to hold up her somewhat pudgy friend. Sarah adjusted her leather handbag that she used as a makeshift purse. Last year, the popular girls — Trish and Elly — had ditched their backpacks and bought large leather handbags. So naturally, every girl in school copied them. “Come on,” Erin called, dragging Sarah by the arm behind her. “We HAVE GOT to see that new guy’s face.”
