They Changed My Life, chapter 2

I was staring into the most gorgeous pair of green eyes I had ever seen. They were attached to the body of an equally gorgeous guy. He smiled and bent down again (this time without any incident) and scooped up my CD. Looking at it carefully, he handed it back to me, rubbing his head.

"Sorry about that... Nirvana's a great band. Lucky for you it landed silver side up. Hey, did you go to one of their concerts or something?" he asked and pointed at my shirt.

I had on my Nirvana concert T-shirt, jeans, and my ratty old Converse.
Fixing my eyes on my shoes, I muttered, "Yeah-with my best friend. It was an awesome concert."

"I'll bet," the guy replied. "By the way, don't worry about Eric. He'll have found another victim by now. So... Where are you from? I don't think I've seen you around before."

Just as I was about to answer him, the bell rang. Kids started milling toward the double doors, and I realized I still needed to go to the office to get my schedule.
The guy was still looking at me expectantly, so I answered, "Virginia. The Middle-Of-Nowhere, VA to be exact."

The guy grinned and I noticed once again how wonderful the color of his eyes was.
"Well-I still need to get my schedule, so-yeah."

The guy looked around, startled. "I guess the bell rang," he laughed. "Yeah, well, welcome to Pinole Valley High Scool. It kind of sucks, but you've done good so far." I looked at him funny, and he added, "You've met me, havn't you? Just kidding. But I hope I see you around, too. By the way, the office is to the right as soon as you get inside. Later."

The guy went inside, and I realized I hadn't gotten his name. Mentally kicking myself, I ventured into my new school. I had come during the fifth week of school, so things weren't too crazy. Thanks to the random guy, I found the office quickly and was on my way to my locker when a guy with a crazy look on his face flew into me.
