It was my first day back at school, ever sense Summer break started. Last year my sophomore year, I would be forced to drive in the limousine with a butler. My dad never trusted me with walking to school by myself or with my friends as he thought I would do something stupid on my way there.
But this year was different. He allowed me to walk to school as long as I was with a friend, but that's the thing.. I didn't exactly have any close friends. I have major trust issues due to what happened before in my freshman year.
After what happened I stayed away from making any friends and decided to focus on school.

This morning I got up and got ready for school hoping to get out the door before my father or mother woke up, but with my luck I ran down stairs going to open the front door and there stood behind me, my father.

"What are you doing, I haven't seen any friends of yours coming to pick you up?" My father said as he walked towards me putting his hand on my shoulder. I quickly moved getting his hand off me panicking. I didn't think he would be up so early.
I looked up at him. He was a tall man, always dressed up in a suit and tie. He always had to look professional with his hair combed back and gelled with his expensive hair gel. I sighed knowing I would get in trouble for whatever I said regardless if it was true or not.
"I was just.. Gonna wait outside for my friend to get here"

He looked down at me trying to read the look on my face. He nodded straightening his tie as he walked into the kitchen. I looked at the front door opening it as quietly as possible. As I walked outside I felt the wind blow on my face. I forgot how windy it gets in the fall, should have grabbed a jacket, but I didn't feel like walking back inside dealing with my father so I just started walking to school, alone.

I soon arrived at school seeing everyone chatting with people. I wish I could make some friends that wouldn't use me for my money. Then I could have a happy life and not have to feel like the only one there for me is me, myself and I. The doors normally were closed as we had to wait outside. Normally the only people who could go inside early were the teachers and band students.
I went and leaned against the wall by the door waiting for it to open. I watched as some teachers walked in the building one by one. Not even the teachers would talk to me.
Time felt like it was going as slow as possible. I closed my eyes hoping that would make the time go quicker somehow, but it only made me feel more lonely and pathetic.
It was only 6:30 in the morning, I still had ten minutes before the doors opened and I could finally get this day over with. I got bored and went on my phone looking through Twitter. It was all just boring stuff, nothing new or exciting. Soon enough, ten minutes were up and the doors opened.
I watched as everyone walked inside still talking to each other. I squeezed into the crowd starting to walk to my locker.

I got to my locker finally after squeezing through the millions of people in the hallway. I saw two people standing next to my locker, one being a girl with dark brown hair and one being blond. I tried to ignore them and get into my locker but I overheard their conversation and it caught me by surprise. I attempted to listen in as I opened my locker to put some stuff in.
"Did you hear about the two new students were getting this year?" The blond said as she scrolled on her phone.
Two new students? I thought to myself putting some books from my backpack in my locker. We haven't had new students in forever, which honestly was pretty weird.
I just hope they don't talk to me.

A couple hours passed as classes went by. Just normal stuff, getting to know our new teachers for the year, getting used to where the classes are, ect.
Lunch time came as I went in sitting myself down at a table alone making sure nobody would come to sit down. I just needed to focus on school, no friends, no relationships. Nothing.
The lunch room was loud as everyone was chatting away to their friends, being loud and obnoxious just like last year.

I sat there staring at my food with no appetite. I couldn't even think straight. I zoned out staring at my food that I didn't even realize I was being spoken to.
I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up at a boy holding a lunch tray in hands. He had purple hair and lilac eyes that shined perfectly in the light.
I stopped staring as he started speaking once again noticing I probably didn't hear him.

"Do you mind if I sit here?"
The boy said giving me a small smile. I didn't recognize him, yet it seemed like I already knew him. I turned my head not wanting him to sit here yet not wanting to say no.
He sat down across from me placing his tray on the table. There was a strong silence between us until he spoke up.
"You don't seem to talk a whole lot?"

I ignored him staring down at my food. I zoned out once again in my thoughts that I didn't realize him talking. All I could hear was a buzzing in my head as I was thinking to myself. Normally I never let anyone sit down with me. I didn't want anyone getting close to me again. But why couldn't I tell him no. Why couldn't I just say one simple word that I tell a bunch of people.
I heard him for one split second. Something made it so I couldn't ignore him.
"So what's your name-?"

I wanted to ignore him but I couldn't allow myself to. I was probably being soft.
"Drew." I said staring down at the table still. I heard him speaking a tiny bit. He seemed shy yet happy to talk to me. It made me not want to ignore him. I wanted to say something else as he went silent but right as I was about to speak the bell rang. The boy quickly got up waving bye to me as he didn't want to be late to class.

What made him so special.
