Amy was sitting on a bench just outside the English building, a textbook open on her lap.
She was waiting for Stacy, as she knew the leggy blonde was due from her English class at any moment. The redhead looked up to glance around at her surroundings. She hoped Paul Levesque would not just happen by.
Amy sighed as she recalled her meeting with the burly football player. The guy was just such a bore, but more importantly, he came off as extremely arrogant and cocky. She couldn't stand such traits in a person.
She had just closed her book as she heard Stacy's familiar, girlish voice calling her name. As she looked up, she saw the tall blonde girl nearing, one hand raised in a frantic wave, a big smile on her pretty face. Amy also realized that Stacy was not alone - two blond guys were with her.
She shoved her book into her knapsack, then rose from the bench, swinging the bag over her right shoulder. She reached for her bottle of Poland Spring water, a somewhat shy but curious smile coming to her face.
The taller of the two young men was wearing a pair of silver sunglasses, and he cocked his head as he studied her. She couldn't see his eyes because of the shades, but the way he tipped them told her he was eyeing her. She smiled shyly, his exceptional handsomeness not at all lost on her. Nor was the immediate reaction her body was having to it.
"Amy Dumas, this is Jay Reso," Stacy said with a grin as she grabbed hold of the shorter blond man's arm.
Jay smiled at her fondly, his right hand extended.
"Nice to meet you."
"Likewise," she replied, and her gaze then returned to the taller of the two young men.
"And this is Adam Copeland," Stacy announced, gesturing toward him.
"Hi," the redhead said, still slightly shy.
The tall blond lowered his sunglasses just enough so that his eyes were exposed to her, and her breath was nearly taken away. Adam Copeland's orbs were strange, yet beautiful. They were a very dark, almost olivish shade of green, which she'd never seen on a human being before.
"Hey," he finally said, and completely removed his shades, giving Amy a full look at his face. He was so exceptionally good-looking, with a strong jaw and other sharply handsome features, and those emerald eyes just made her feel weak in the knees. The other guy, Jay, was also very good-looking, but he was definitely not having the effect on her that Adam Copeland was.
"These two guys are really good friends of mine," Stacy explained, her gaze exclusively trained on Jay, which made Amy wonder if the leggy blonde might like him a bit better than a friend. "We were in a class together last year and became partner in crime, so to speak." She winked at the redhead. "I think you'd get along famously with them, too, Amy."
Amy's gaze traveled from her from her tall friend and roommate and then back to Adam. The tall blond man was studying her intently, and as their eyes met, he grinned at her.
Oh, God... She just about melted at that grin.
