MEEP! MEEP! MEEP!

My eyes fly open as I realize what time it is, Oh NO. First day at a new school, I'm not prepared for this. Mom always drags me into new states for "work", she works for the Government so we move around quite frequently. MEEP! MEEP! MEEP! My hand jerks the alarm clock out of the wall and across the room making a loud thud that almost startled me. I roll out of bed, my hair in a messy bun, I'm wearing a large T-shirt and nothing else. I walk to the bathroom and run the water for my shower, then I turn to the mirror undoing my bun.. "You can do this Skylar" I hopped in the shower, letting the warm water caress my tan skin, then quickly jumped back out because I was already late. I pulled on a Navy sweatshirt, some beat up skinnys, and a pair of toms, Not your usual attire for the first day, but it'll have to do. *** I walked downstairs and Mom was waiting for me in the kitchen "Lets go Sky you're going to be late" she said cautiously. We strolled outside quickly and hopped in the SUV, Mom, as always, pounded the gas and since the school was only 15 minutes away(for the standard speed), we were there in 8. We pulled up to a set of brick buildings, they were all connected by glass hallways. All the buildings were identical except the one in the front which I assumed was the entrance since it was bigger than all the others. Mom basically pushed me out to fend for myself, no goodbye, no anything. Oh great.... I walked up to a surprising revolving entrance door, at a school? Fancy. On the inside there was a lady sitting at a desk, her features were very ugly, almost bulldog like, she seemed to be older, about 55-60. "Mam can you tell me my schedule, I'm new here." "Whats your name sweetie" the lady said in a crisp voice. "Skylar Wisdom" she handed me a yellow slip, it had four names on it to what I assumed were teachers. The slip also had numbers beside each teachers name, and by looking down the hall I could tell the classrooms were labeled by such. *** After walking for about 3 minutes I reached my first classroom. Gulp. Millions of thoughts flew through my head as I turned the knob. Click. The door slid open & out I popped. I could tell I interrupted the teacher since it looked like he was mid-speech. He looked very intimidating, long legs, and since he was an older man he had an arch that made him look odd. "Sit" he spat. I directed myself to the only open seat. In the back... There were about 30 or 40 people in the class. Everybody looked so dressed up and proper. Then you had me, who looked homeless. All of a sudden, I felt someone pinch me. Ouch.. I turned to see a long haired brunette with a set of crystal eyes. "Are you new?" I nodded, still in pain. " Well my name is Crystal, whats yours?" Irony?.. "Skylar" I said under my voice not to interrupt the rambling teacher. She patted the guy sitting in front of her, "Meet my new friend Skylar" she whispered. Badly.. He turned to me slowly, trying not to cause attention. Finally our eyes met. Oh my.... Perfection. He had dark curly locks, and golden eyes that made me melt. "Brock" he smirked. Kill me.. His jawline looked so perfect as he spoke. I sat smiling not realizing a response was required. "Brock!" the teacher yelled from front, "Turn around and listen!" He obeyed & the rest of the class we were forced to listen about the teacher's life and curriculum.*** RING RING RING RING Finally... I hopped up & tapped Crystal, "Can you help me out?" I pointed to my yellow slip, she chuckled. We have second block together" YES..*** After several introductions by Crystal I didn't feel as uncomfortable. Time flew by & before I knew it, it was third block. My last block, Thank God... I sat in the back with Crystal, of course. Me and Crystal exchanged numbers and details about each other while the teacher rambled about his dead cats. While in the midst of talking, I caught glimpse of something strange. In the corner sat a boy, he sat alone, but he was staring at me distinctively. He wore a leather jacket & a pair of grey skinnys. His Hair was a blonde curly mess, but so messy it was acceptable. He had black orbs that were still eyeballing me. Crystal noticing my distraction, turned and looked. "What are you looking at?" she said Huh? "Don't you see tha--" RING RING RING. Crystal ignoring me grabbed me, pulling me out the door. Me and Crystal both had 4th period off since we did Co-Op. I looked back once more to see if the boy was still staring. He's gone...
