If happiness was with you

Chapter 17: new girl at school

Amanda
~
I wake up to my alarm clock beeping like crazy. I get up to turn it off and I see that it's Monday, which means it's the first day of school. I lazily got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. I took a quick hot shower which the warm water helped relaxed my tensed body.  I am excited to start fresh and new, but also I'm kinda nervous. I barely know anyone here and my best friend is back at our home town. I'm not a shy person........I'm an extrovert shield by an introvert persona. I am still trying to get over what happened between me and Jax, it's hard cause of our past. But I know for myself to be stronger independent women I have to move on. This is a fresh start for me. I will make my new school year count!

"Amanda dear, come down for breakfast!", Mama  called from down the stairs. I quickly fix my hand into a hug ponytail with my curtain bangs falling out to the sides creating a cute style. I had on my tight jeans with a white strapless shirt that hugged my waist. I applied some makeup on to bring out my eyes and my lips. As I looked at myself in the mirror, I smiled and said, "You, Amanda, don't need a damn man to make you happy. All you need is your mama and papa and that's it." 

"AMANDA!!!"

"Oh ah....COMING!!", I said as I ran straight down the stairs. Did I forget that I had on my Micheal Kors wedges?? Ooo they are my favorite shoes!

As I walked into the kitchen, I greeted my parents. Papa was reading his morning newspaper as usual, while mama had her apron on as she brought breakfasts to the table. "Good morning sugar, how did you sleep last night?", mama asked me as she brought me a plate of fluffy scrambled eggs with salty ham with coffee-infused red-eye gravy creamy (can you guess who requested for that), cheesy grits and tender and lastly with flaky buttermilk biscuits. Ooooo how I love the breakfast that mama makes. I couldn't help but drool a little bit from the smell.

"Now sugar, that is not lady like to be drooling all over the place", mama says as she takes a seat next to me.

"Sorry mama, but this all smells so good! I can't wait to eat it!" I says as I place a napkin on my lap and say a quick prayer before I eat. It was not long till I heard papa clear his throat.

"So, you are starting a new school year in the Big Onion. Over here is nothing how it was back in the South. It is much more dangerous and full of temptation. So, there will be a set of rules that I have acquired", he says a he takes a sip of his coffee.  Oh boy, here we go.......

"Rule 1: no staying late at school or hanging out with friends. Your curfew is 8 pm on weekdays and 9 pm on weekends. Rule 2: there will be no smoking or drinking as long as you live under my roof. Rule 3: no tattoos of any kind on your body and no wearing an exposed clothing. Your body should not be shown to the public. And my final and IMPORTANT rule of all, Rule 4: NO SEX!" My father says the last rule as if he was about to huff and puff and blow the entire house down!

"I understand papa" I say as I quietly finish eating my food. I know that my parents are very religious and they don't do anything that goes against the rules, but I can't help but to think that maybe my father doesn't trust me. I mean, what? Does he really think I'll get pregnant in a few months???! There is a long awkward silence in the kitchen table and I see my father is starring daggers at me. I gulp down my food and say, "I understand the rules papa. Don't worry, I won't break any of them".

With a satisfying look he nods his head and goes back to reading his newspaper. My mother looks at me with an apologetic look on her face but I give her a smile showing I was not upset. After a few more minutes I got up and washed my dirty plate. I gave mama and pap a kiss on cheeks and bit me goodbyes.

"I have a great first day at school sugar. I want you to tell me all about it" mama says as she hugs me tight. I giggle as I tell her I will not leave a single detail out.

I start to make my way to my new school and let me tell you.....this doesn't look like your average high school. It looked more like a......castle? The school is three stories high with a tower in the middle of the main building. There are two other buildings that's are attached to it. All I can say is...wow!

I park my car in the student parking lot and start to make my way to the attendance office. As I am walking down the hall, I felt multiple pair of eyes on me. I started to hear girls snicker at me and have judging looks in her eyes. I saw boys checking me out, some whispering and whistling at me. I showed no attention to them and kept my head high up as I walked down the hall......that is until I bumped into something hard like a wall......but to my luck, it was not a wall......

"Oh hey!", says a masculine voice.

I looked up and was met with light blue eyes......
"Are you okay? You didn't have a concussion do you? Ah man, first day of senior year and I'm already in trouble!!" Says the tall boy.

"Oh um....no, no I'm okay. Sorry, he-he" I say nervously.

"Thats great! Oh also how rude of me! My name is——"

"JASPER YOU FUCKING IDIOT! WHEN I FIND YOU, I WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE SICK FEET UNDER GROUND. YOU HEAR!!!''

"Oh shit! I gotta go Beautiful. I hope I can see you later?" He says before he starts to run off the opposite direction of where I am going.

"Andrew, calm down. It was just one stupid prank" I heard one voice say.

"IT DOESN'T MATTER! HE CROSSED THE LINE. HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN TO MR.COLLINS THIS??!" I heard the voice say much more angry. I better get out of here before I get in trouble. But because the universe is probably bored out of its mind, it decided to have me do something else.

So as I started to turn around, I ended up tripping myself and falling face first to the ground. Before I could feel the impact on my face, I felt a pair of strong arms grab my waist and pull my back, to where I was now leaning on his right muscular arm. My face was close to his chest, where I felt his hard pecks pressing against my face. I started to hear his heart rhythm start to increase which I don't understand why. I took a deep breath to calm myself down, but all it did was make me smell his cologne and on my geez he smells amazing. I was lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear him at all. Was he talking this entire time?

"Amanda, are you okay?" I heard the male say to me.

Wait.....how does he........no....it couldn't be......would it?

I slowly looked up at his face and I couldn't believe my eyes........I am in the arms of.....Baxter Lopez!????

Hi, I know I've been away for quite a while now. That is cause I'm in university and I've been busy with exams and projects. But I will try to get more chapters in. Please let me know what you thought of the chapter and I'll be publishing Baxter's POV soon!

Love you all❤️❤️
