The New Kid

Chapter Three

No one's P.O.V.

John was late.

John groaned wishing he didn't press snooze on his alarm to many times. Hopping out of bed to get ready, stressed, he made his bed and got dressed grabbing a random green shirt with a yellow lemon on the pocket and grabbed blue jeans off the hanger. Rushing around he searched his room looking for his notes for the Science test the following afternoon.

"Can this day get any worse?!" He asked annoyed and grabbed his Doc Martens boots and shoving his supplies in his bag brushed his hair grabbing his hoverboard heading to school.

"Bye Mum!" He said while running outside closing- more like slammed the door. Hopping on his hoverboard, he rode down the sidewalk and down the hill lost in his thoughts which somehow wandered to Farrokh.

Why would I be thinking about him? John's cheeks turned a shade of red he shook his head getting rid of the thought thinking about his science test. " HEY DEAKY!" John looked up to see Brian and Roger both coming toward them.

Brian rollerskated and Roger rode an electric scooter. Brian asked, " Penny for your thoughts?" John said, " The science test today," Roger asked, " Wait- we have a test today?" Brian said, " Yeah, we studied yesterday, during lunch?" Roger went quiet then said, " Oh yeah! Hopefully I don't fail again..."

Brian said, " I'm sure you won't fail, your real smart Rog," Roger rode up next to him and Brian did too. Roger asked, " What about you Deaks? Do you think you'll pass the test?"

John said, " Yeah, I studied a lot yesterday,"

Brian said, "I hope I pass, I did study."

They all were quiet in their own thoughts and they arrived all together heading inside to go to class.

They all got late passes and rushed to English together and tripped on each other their teacher Mr Thomas who was at the Smartboard. Everyone turned to see who arrived, John scratched his hair said, " Sorry Mr Thomas! " Mr Thomas crossed his arms asked, " Do you all have a pass?"

John walked toward him everyone began whispering to each other and some snickered. On his way to his desk, he tripped over someone's bag. John looked up to meet a pair of black eyes. Blushing in embarrassment he turned and sat down in his seat catching up in what the class was learning.

Freddie's P.O.V.

Click.

The door opened and emerged was three boys including John. On his way to his seat after giving Mr Thomas his late pass, tripped over the guy who sat in front of me, his bag. I gave him a face full of sympathy. I felt bad since everyone snickered and chuckled when he fell over. He looked up into my eyes and blushed looking away and sat in his desk.

I leaned forward resting my head on my hand having my notebook open and listened to Mr Thomas. "Now, let's get back to work..." Everyone shuffled and stood up to get with their partners to work on their assignments. "Farrokh! Since you don't have a partner, you can work with John!" I grimaced at the sound of my name and nodded replacing it with a smile not showing my teeth of course.

"Farrokh!" I turned to who called my name and collected my supplies walking to desk sitting in the desk backwards facing him. John said, " Hi again!" I waved staying quiet since I got shy and my stomach started doing flips. What's this feeling? I ignored the feeling inside he said, " Well, we have to do a essay soo- want to start? " I asked, " What do you mean?" John said, "Oh! Well, it's this whole essay about if video games have a positive or negative affect on us. And we basically have to put it together. And one of us presents it while the other shows our essay. Sooo- that's basically what everyone is doing." I leaned forward resting my chin on my hands listening to what John was saying slowly dosing off.

"Were you even listening?" " Huh? Erm, I was... Sorry." I said sheepishly. John said, " Be glad I'm going to explain it all again." I sat up straighter said, " Okay, I'm ready to learn some information," John smiled and opened the booklet and I had my pencil ready as we worked on this essay together.

BRRRIIINNGGG!!!!! The bell rang and everyone immediately began packing up while Mr Thomas yelled out our homework and when it was due. Next was Maths and I had it with John since we showed each other our schedules. John stood up walked to his friends motioned for me to come I pursed my lip as my stomach did somersaults. What is wrong with me?

I walked over to them after putting my supplies away, I stood next to John quietly. John said, " Bri, Rog, this is Farrokh! My new friend! Farrokh, these two are Brian and Roger!" The tall one who was Brian said, " Hi! I'm Brian but my nicknames' Bri. You can call me whichever one you'd like,"

I nodded.

The shorter one with big blue eyes that stood out and blonde hair that stopped shoulder length said, " Hi! I'm Roger! You can call me Rog too if you want, I hope we can be friends!" I nodded said, "I'm Farrokh! It's nice to meet you too," Brian asked, " So! How was your first day of school yesterday?" I shrugged said, " Kind of weird..." As we all walked to Maths class together talking about many different stuff on the way there.

I looked at John a few times feeling my stomach drop and sighed looking down at my shoes. What's wrong with me? Why is my stomach being so weird? I don't like him, do I? I just met him yesterday! I looked up shrugging away the thought walking into to Math class with my new friends.
