He knew they gawked at him, but couldn't quite figure out why. His six foot two inch frame was fit and toned, with broad shoulders that tapered to a narrow waist and a taut abdomen; dark hair, thick and lush adorned his head, and his piercing green eyes either shined with amusement and lit up when he laughed, or narrowed to slits behind the spectacles he wore when Declyn focused and forgot the world around him existed.

The air is filled with a sweet aroma as another female student walks by. The perfume is strong and people choke and turn their heads when she walks past them.

The more susceptible trees
