I walked to my assigned locker and stuffed some things in there before making my way over to a large tree in the middle of the school where I was supposed to meet Julie.
I realized she wasn't here yet so to save myself the embarrassment I sat down next to a bench nearby and pulled out my phone to scroll through insta.
A few liked pictures later I heard someone sitt down next to me. I glanced up to see Julie sitting there applying some lip balm.
"Hey." I said while shoving my phone back in my pocket and giving her a genuine smile.
"Hey, Bitch. Damn I can't believe we're already juniors. Have you seen where your new locker is at yet." Julie said with a excited smile
"Hehe yeah I did I got here a few minutes ago." I said just as the bell rang telling us that school just started and we had 10 minutes to get to class.
"Ok we'll talk later in 3rd period. Can I come to yours after school?"Julie said while shrugging her jacket off and lifting herself of the bench with a dramatic grunt.
"Yeah,see you later. Oh wait I'll probably be home a little bit later because I have to wait for Emerys basketball meeting. I'll text you."
"Ok sounds good bye," Julie said then when I nodded she started speed walking to class.
It had been a couple minutes after the bell so I started to make my way to my home room.
I passed a guy in the hall and this guy was hot. He had tattoos and was wearing jeans vans and a crew neck. He must have been new because I haven't seen him around but dam. I think I just gained another heartbeat if you know what I mean.
He was walking the opposite way from me but then he stopped, looked at the paper in his hand and then started going the same way as me.
I started getting a little nervous and suddenly forgot how to walk. I finally reached my home room and the guy in the hall went in before me.
The room was already crowded and there was two seats in the back. I usually like to sit in the back because it's honestly just more comfortable so I didn't have a problem with this.
I made my way to the back and halve way there hallway guy sat on the seat next to where I was goin to sit. I nervously gulped but kept walking. I was about to sit down but I bumped into someone.
"Sorry, are you okay?" I asked. The girl didn't answer and only gave me a dirty look. I gave her a tight lipped smile and sat down.
I glanced up and saw the same girl giving hallway guy a flirtatious smile then she glanced at me looking me up and down. She gave me another dirty look before glancing away. "The fuck is her problem?" I said under my breath while shrugging of my sweater.
I guess hallway guy heard me because he let out a quiet laugh. I glanced up at him but before I could say anything the teacher started talking.
"Hello class welcome to your home room. I am very excited to see new faces. My name is Ms. Allagy."
I smiled to myself because although pronounced differently it kinda sounded like the swamp allgy. " So before we start how about I take role that way the class and I can learn y'all's name. Sound good? Ok good. So when I call your name say "here" and two things you like to do. I'll start," she placed her fisted hand over her mouth and cleared her throat. "You guys already know my name so I'll just say two thing I like to do. I like to play violin and play fetch with my Labrador named buddy. Ok so now I'll start with role."
I started to panic because my last name was Angels and I'm always first or second on the roster.
Damn I hate when teachers do this I always panick and say something dumb. Ok you got this lily think. What do you like to do. FUCK I CANT THINK MY MIND IS BLANK. " Lily Angels." Ms. Algey says while scanning around the class room.
My face starts to heat up and I quickly murmur "here," but then I realize they probably couldn't hear me so I clear my throat and say "here." But this time louder.
Ms.Algey looks at me then at her paper and crosses my name off. "Ok hon what are two things you like to do," she says with a genuine smile.
"Ummm..." I panick and my face is beat red with everybody staring at me. " I like to read, and go on runs."
Which is actually the truth but probably sounded really lame.The teacher smiles then continues on with the class. I wipe my clammy hands on my jeans and let out a deep breath. I catch hallway guy looking at me so I glance up at him but he quickly glances away with a faint small smile.
