Teaser Tuesday October 8th 2013
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
~Grab your current read
~Open to a random page
~Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on the page
~BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! ( make sure that what you share doesn't give away too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
~Share the title & author too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!
I'm currently reading

My teaser
Forcing my legs to move me forward, I nervously approached him. I decided that I needed to act cool and pretend that the mere sight of him didn’t make my heart do somersaults. You can do this, just relax, I told myself over and over again. I smiled at him as I reached my locker. He flashed his pearly white teeth as I tried desperately to steady my hand while I played with the combination lock, which for some reason I couldn’t remember the code for. Was it twenty-two, ten, thirty?
“So, I was wondering if you would like to take a walk with me?” he asked in that velvety voice.
“Are you seriously going to skip classes on your first day here?” I asked, trying to sound as if I didn’t care what he did.
“Yeah, I guess you have a point,” he replied, sounding as if I’d just knocked the wind out of him.
Good. Maybe now he’ll start to realize that I’m not interested. If only that were true. I focused on my lock again. “I have to get to second period and I can’t be late. Is there anything else you needed, directions maybe?” I shrugged my shoulders and diverted my eyes to the inside of my locker, which finally opened. I knew if I stole a look at his handsome face, I’d change my mind and skip my acting class to be with him.
What's your teaser today?
