True Love

Chapter 1- Love at First Sight

I walk into school with a smile on my face, say hi to my friends, and then just observe my high school that I surely missed in the summer! Well, actually no. If I said that, I would not be telling the truth. The truth is...I walked into school with a grim look on my face, got picked on by the populars, and frowned at my school. Everyone is happy, well some. It is the first day of school! Woohoo...Yes, I am a splendid actor. People around me are saying "hi" to their friends and here I am, alone. I did have a close friend but, she moved away. In the summer, I cried tears of sorrow, and I still am inside. I don't mean to ruin your wonderful day, but I also had another reason to cry in the summer...my mom died. It is hard not having a mom anymore, to guide you through your life, and being a teenager is even harder. I always counted on my mom, and now I don't have a shoulder to lean on. A hand to hold. Or, a ladder to climb. What about my dad? Well, he is also in a blue moment, I mean he just lost the love of his life! He needs to understand that now we have to stick together, keep our heads high! Wow, that was deep... I shake my head to get out the thoughts roaming through my mind. I do keep my head high, and walk into my class proud.
That moment does not last long, I get shy. I don't even look at my new classmates. Who is my teacher? Is she...evil. Oh, if she is I will ditch school and move to Dakota. No, yah...no. Could I? Will anyone miss me? Why am I talking to myself? Is it normal? Why am I still talking to myself!
I slouch in my desk and jot down stuff in my brand new notebook, then I sit up and take a glimpse at my classmates. I do recognize a girl,but trust me. I am definitely not pleased to see her. Not even a tiny, bit. Victoria Ross, popular but mean. I don't have conversations with her, but I have heard some nasty rumors. Mom told me that rumors sometimes are fake lies. I sometimes believe them. I know I shouldn't.
She could be a soft hearted, kind, human being. I wouldn't
know, because I am horrified of talking to her. Victoria could also be another nightmare that I have. My first one is something I never talk about...
"Hello everyone, I am your homeroom teacher for your senior year!" I don't show any emotion, just my poker face. "My name is Mrs. Heart, and I hope everyone is ready to learn!" Everyone suddenly turns silent. "Umm...okay yeah let's start our lesson, we are going to be learning about Shakespeare today." She stares at us like she is waiting for an answer. "Okay...let's start." She picks up the chalk and places it on the chalkboard. She presses too hard and it breaks, I can't help but laugh.
My fellow classmates agree with me because they let out a smirk or two. She turns around with her face red, and smiles. Behind me people giggle, and I do too.
An hour goes by and I stare at the clock, my eyes steady looking at the clock. Come on, ring. Ring. "Ding, ding, DING!" "Okay class-" She stops talking when she turns around and realizes that I am the only only student left in the room. "Thank you for staying, you must be the special one this year ."
"Yah, thanks..." Is that a complement? Or should I be offended? Special one...
I get out of my chair and walk out the door, I trip on the girls shoelace beside me. My worst nightmare is coming true. Victoria Ross, standing above me, what will she do? "Omg, I am so sorry, how rude of me!" "Oh, no it was my fault, I tripped on-" I was cut off when she stopped me. "No, my shoe should of been tied, it is my fault." She smiles, I was wrong about her. They say life is full of surprises. And they were sure right.
"So, what's your name?" "Ashley Summers." "Victoria Ross, and it's nice to meet you." "It is a pleasure", I say politely. "Can I call you Ash as a nickname, I really like calling my friends by their nicknames, if not it's-" "No, it's fine." "I like Ash." I smile, something I haven't done in a long time. "Cool, well see you at lunch." "Yah, I wish we were in the same math class, but no!" "Haha, well bye!" She shouts it while walking away."Bye!!" I laugh as I go into my math class, I feel good about myself.
When I walk in, I pick a desk in the last row to the right. Then I see a boy, he is talking to another classmate. He is tall, muscular, not too buff, blonde silky hair, winter blue eyes, and he turns my way. He smiles with his perfect, white teeth. When he smiles his dimples appear. Yes, he is perfect.
I smile back, what does he think of me? Is he creeped out? "Attention students, take out your math textbooks and read page 125, while I am at a meeting. When you are done, please take the worksheet on my desk and complete it. Behave."
Who does she think we are? Kindergarteners? I guess so. After I finish reading, I grab a sheet of paper with ten problems. Not too bad for the first day, huh? My eyes switch from the paper to the boy. It is like he can read my mind, because he turns around and looks at me. Great! He sees me, I take my eyes off him and finish my work.
I get up to hand it in and I swore he was looking at me, or am I just crazy. "Ding, ding, DING!" Yay! I get up and as fast as a rocket head straight to the door, not knowing what awaits me.
