Damn Pretty by Sofiia Merzlikina

 - Have you seen him today?

 -  I knew you would ask that question long before you opened your mouth.
Girls giggled for a second and got back to the chat.
- Stop asking, Cathy. He has been absent for a week, probably has some reasons for that.
I can't. Each time I look out of the window, I am almost sure that I see him. That leather rough jacket, chubby face, and light smile make everyone to like him more. I've noticed how Ms.Willston looked at him during the lesson. I wonder if she has a husband because she literally was giving him a stink eye. I understand her, he is so manly and attractive.
You definitely fell in love. But I must admit he is an outstanding person. During the classes, he might keep silence, but when he takes the floor, it is always a brilliant performance. Sharp words, fierce intellect - it seems like he doesn't even prepare for the lesson. And his answers are still good, do you remember that mathematical task no one of us could solve? I don't find him as sexy as you think, but he deserves our attention. He will appear, Cathy, cheer up.
Maybe he is just making a new tattoo, it might take a lot of time. A dragon in flame would fit him so well!
Hmm, one more? He made enough for us to know whom he really is.
You are so rude, Jenny because you know you don't have any chance with him. Just admit.
That's not the matter. He has a W62 sign on his knuckles, haven't you ever noticed?
That doesn't tell me anything.
Oh, come on, that's the most famous faction in our land. I know it for sure, my father was in that. That was the only fact I knew about him. At least, Thomas shows up from time to time.
There is nothing bad, I think. He will leave this faction soon.
Nothing bad? Do you know what they actually do? Cathy, you are stubborn and don't understand obvious things. Mrs. Johns murder was signed with W62, National bank - W62, Sara's suicide wasn't investigated, but there are also traces of W62. To leave this group means to die.
Should I be nervous for Thomas? I start to anticipate something bad.
No, Cathy, no. He is a smart one, probably is hanging out somewhere.
But how can you like such an ambivalent person? He has an angelic face, I agree. But what a devilish soul!
I know, I know... But he is so damn pretty
