There Is A First For Everything

The New Kid

Aliyyah's POV:

It was the first day and of course my siblings had to go to the extreme to impress others. Sometimes I hated being in the Jackman family. Due to my siblings' self idolization, people start labeling me as the same. I am totally different from my family. Trust me. Like I am the exact opposite of them. They are all preppy, popular, prisses. I am more chill, quiet, sportsy, and not so glitzy. I like playing sports they like playing boys. Well my brother plays football but my sisters wouldn't ever touch a ball(besides the ones on the lower half of boys).

So I wake up to the sounds of yelling and screaming thinking that Jessica had messed up her first day outfit or that Brooklyn had ruined her hair or that Jack didn't have any warm water in the shower. I jump out of bed, pull on a sweater fix my sleeping shorts and run outside of my room. Through the hallway window I could see the cause of the screaming. To my unfortune it was not an early morning mishap to my siblings. It turned out to be a new cherry red convertable Mustang in the driveway gifted to my siblings just for making it to senior year. My sisters were going crazy about it, calling their friends, tweeting about it, while Jack had my mom take pictures of him with his new "hot rod".

I get ready for the day and today I didn't really want to get all fancied up because I didn't want a lot of people knowing that I was related to the people I live with. They really are a big embarrassment. I decide just to put on some short shorts, a tangtop, and I put my hair in a ponytail. I get my backpack and my soccerbag and then head out the door. I get into the backseat of the new car so it would be harder for kids to notice me while on my way to school. I sat, waiting for ten minutes, until finally my three siblings get unto the car with their Prada Gucci bags and their new clothes from Tilly's. Man how I wish I was in a different family. I decided to just accept the fact that they were my family: I pretty much do this every day so I don't let it affect my life so much.

Ten minutes away from the house we drive down a small street a few blocks from the street. I decide to just stare out the window cause I was bored. I realized we had started slowing down but didn't care to notice why. I hear Jack start honking the horn so I just close my eyes and pretend that it isn't happening. Then he starts yelling and so I decide to put my earphones in and listen to music. But I can hear him through the music and sufdenyl there is a shuffling of movement around me. Jack suddenly started gathering all of our books. That is 8 books in total. I turn around to see what he does with them and pull out my earphones. I then see him throw them out the window at the kid ok the street. I realize that he must be new because I have never seen him around before. He stares at me as the books sail towards him and I gasp as soon as the books crash around him barely missing him. We then sped off and I looked back, feeling sorry for him, and I noticed that he was kinda cute.

We finally got to school and I run out of that car to my friends as my siblings yell at me to stay away from the geeks and to remember to get my books from the new kid. Sometimes they can be dicks.

I get to my friends and put my stuff down next to my bestie Isabelle. In my group there is my besties Isabelle and Zayn, and then there's the twins Alen and Amy, and then Sally and Megan. We all met each other throughout Elementary School and have been friends ever since.

"So how was your summer?", Alen asks me as I sit down.

"Well let's see, I got a new job at the bakery, my family is still the same stuck up people they've always been, Gary broke up with me, oh and I got a new dog. How about y-"

"WOAH WOAH WOAH. HOLD UP!!! Gary broke up with you. But you guys were perfect together. I swear imma beat that guy into a pulp" Zayn said. He is my best guy friend so he gets real defensive if soemone in any way harms me.

Tbh I really didn't want to talk about Gary. We had been dating since Freshman year and then over the summer he broke up with me after confessing that he was cheating on me with a girl named Eleanor. It was the worst break up ever. It was also my first breakup. I was a wreck for weeks. But I didn't want to tell my friends about it. I didn't want to make them sorry about my problems. I'm still trying to get over it but its not as obvious that its a problem for me.

"Yeah but I really don't want to talk abo-" I get interrupted by a tapping on my shoulder.

I turn around and there is the cute new kid from the streets and he is holding two books out towards me. I look at him with sorrow thinking about what my brother did to him and I felt sorry. How could you just make someone do all that for you like a slave?

"DUDE! SHE WAS TALKING AND SHE JUST GOT BROKEN UP WITH OVER THE SUMMER. DO YOU REALLY THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO INTERRUPT?!?" Zayn yelled at the new kid.

"Hey calm down" I snap at Zayn. "He was just giving me my books" I explain what happened in the morning to them. They all looked sad for the new kid once I was done. I then back to the boy. "Thanks for bringing me my books. Sorry about my brother back there. He can be a real dick."

"Its alright. I never realized that is what people acted like in America so I didn't know what to say so I just obeyed him." I could tell that he was British because he had that accent.

"No. You got it all wrong. American people don't always act like that. Just the real jerks." Sally informs the boy.

"Oh. Well that's good. I think I am going to stear clear of those "jerks"." He eyes me when he says Jerks. I hope he doesn't think I'm one. I would hate for another person to think I'm just like my siblings.

Another boy walks up. He is blond but there is some obvious brown at his roots. He is a nice looking boy and he looks familiar. I think his name is Neal. I'm pretty sure he was in my AP US GOVERNMENT class last year.

"Hey guys. I'm just going to take my friend away from you guys and take him to his class if that's fine with you." He says to us as he pulls the new kid away from us.

They are soon out of sight and lost in the crowd of kids rushing to get to class as the bell rings. I suddenly realize that I didn't even get the kids name. I wanted to stop thinking of him as the "new kid" because he was real cute and he looked really nice. I mean he had a great personality and even though it was mostly hidden by a beanie that looked hot in him, from what i coudl see, his brown hair looked adorable and his blue eyes were like a sea of blue that you could drown in and his skin-

I get pulled from my thoughts by Isabelle slapping me.

"Hey! Get it together. The bell just rang. We have to get to class. I have been waiting here and the others already left. What's up?", she asked as she started pulling me to our first class we had together.

"Nothing much." I tell her.

"You were thinking bout that new kid weren't you?" She smirks at me.

"What...no..." Suddenly my cheeks fill with blood and I start hating my body for making signs like that.

"Uh yeah you were. I mean when he was there before you were totally staring at him with googely eyes and you wouldn't stop and then he stared back at you, though his was a sort of funny stare."

"Whatever. Let's just get over with school and forget about new kids and cute boys for right now because we have boring Spanish 4 right now And we have Mrs. Jewels and I heard she the most strict" I say as we sit in our Spanish 4 classroom seat.

"Whatever" Isabelle says as soon as the bell rings and the teacher walks in.

This is the first time I have ever silently thanked a teacher and a school bell for saving me from an embarrassing conversation.
