As we pulled into the school parking lot I looked around. It was the first day of school and there were freshmen everywhere. They all looked so excited, the girls were jumping around and the boys were studying there class schedules. They didn't know who much of a hell hole high school would be for most of them.
I looked down at the piece of paper in my hand. Every freshman bad a buddy that was a sophomore to show them around and introduce them to other sophomores and freshmen. That's how I met Zach last year, he was my buddy.
On my paper it read in large words 'Nicholas J. Delancy'
I groaned. Of course I would get a boy. It's just my luck, being the romance less person that I am I would obviously be forced to have a boy buddy.
Oh well, at least he was younger than me so nothing would even start to happen.
When Zach parked the SUV I grabbed my backpack and hopped out of the car. Before I closed the door I just had to watch Toni try and get out of her seat. She looked like a fish out of water.
I laughed until I couldn't breath. Zach finally came and patted me on the back and gave me some water.
I chugged the water and handed the bottle to Zach " Thanks"
"No problem buddy!" he laughed at his joke
I gave him a little smile and turned to Toni "Who is your buddy?"
"Hmmmm.... Brittany Williams" She said as she turned and smiled at me " Who did you get?"
I looked at her and frowned " Some kid named Nicholas J. Delancy"
She busted out laughing " The romance-a-phobe has to buddy with a dude!!" she said in between laughs
We started walking to the entrance where all the freshman had name tags on. "I was hoping the second time I had a buddy it would be a girl" I scrunched my nose when I said it.
When we reached the front of the school Zach went to get breakfast while me and Toni looked for our buddies. She instantly found her's. She was a short peppy little blond who was tan and she had perfect curls and she was wearing a bright pink shirt with a blue sweater with white pants with a flower pattern on them and a pair of black flats. Not my style, but they looked cute on her. And her and Toni were perfect for each other.
I sighed and continued searching for my buddy, I gave the girls a small wave while they kept squealing. God.
I walked by a group of girls who were surrounding this one guy, I didn't look at him, I just asked one of the girls if they knew where Nicholas J. Delancy was " Thank god I finally get to get out of here" said the guy that was being surrounded by girls. I looked up at him. He had to be about 5'11, I could tell cause I was 5'2 and Zach was 5'11. He was perfectly tan and he had muscles, he had short cut brown hair and his smile was perfect. But his eyes. When I looked into his eyes, the blue overwhelmed me. They were bluer then my moms. I just stood there, looking up at him. I couldn't pull myself away even tho I knew it was weird that it was weird. But oddly he seemed to be looking at me that same way.
I finally pulled my gaze away from him finally, I cleared my throat and stuck out my hand while staring at the the ground. " Uh hi I'm Isabella Tomson, but people usually call me Izzy" I said.
He grabbed my hand and lightly shook it " Hi, I'm Nicholas Joseph Delancy, But people call me Nick"
When he touched my skin I felt a light shock, not the bad kind, the kind that sends electricity through my body and put butterflies in my stomach, and made my heart race.
I looked up and saw that he was still smiling at me. I started to feel my cheeks get hot and instantly took back my hand and started walking towards the school entrance as I was about to open the door, I saw a quick flash and the door opened instantly before I touched it. I looked up and saw Nick holding the door open for me. There was no way this kid could be a freshman. Just no way.
"Thanks" I looked at the floor and quickly walked inside.
I could feel him smiling at me as I led him down the hall.
I turned to him and looked up, not at his eyes, but at his hands " Let me see your schedule" I said as I stuck out my hand.
He let out a light chuckle and handed me the piece of paper.
My forehead crinkled as I looked at the sheet of paper " You must have the wrong slip cause this has all the sophomore classes on it, I'll go grab you a freshman one." I was was mid turn when he lightly grabbed my forearm
There was that feeling.
" I grabbed the right one, I'm not a freshman, I'm just new" He smiled
Oh god.ohgodohgodohgod... This couldn't be happening... He was a boy that was a sophomore that just happened to send sparks flying in my body every time he touched me, not only that, he was my buddy. And that men't that I had to see him everyday for a week. Before, during, and after school.
This was it, I was going to die. Goodbye perfect family, goodbye perfect friends. Goodbye life.
"Izzy?" I heard Nick say.
I realised that he still had his and on my arm.
I cleared my throat and looked at the schedule.
We had homeroom, Spanish, calculus and lunch together. That made it all worse.
" well follow me this way" I said, taking him to his locker.
we walked in silence for about two minutes when I turned around and pointed to a locker.
"125, that's your locker." I said to him.
He pulled out a lock and took out some books and put them in the locker before closing and locking the door. He nodded for me to continue. He was still smiling at me! What was it with this kid?
" My locker is 130, let me just grab my math book and we can get going." I said to him while walking to my locker.
"We have homeroom together?" he asked me. His voice. It was so soft, but not in a girly way, it was strong and deep but it was still... soft.
"Yea, and Spanish, calculus and lunch." I said. I didn't look at him but I could still feel him smile.
"Cool." he walked up behind me and looked into my locker as I put all of my books in.
I closed and locked my locker and turned around to face him. He was less the 2 inches away from me. I could feel his warm minty breath softly on my face. I looked up into his eyes. He wasn't smiling. He was looking into my eyes, he looked like he was searching my face. His hand brushed against mine and It left a little tingle.
"Uhhmmm... Are we interrupting something?" I looked over and saw Toni, Zach, and Brittany all staring at us smiling.
"Uh, no I was just showing Nick around" I said feeling my cheeks get hot
They all were giving me questioning looks.
"Oh.. Guys this is Nick Delancy, Nick this is Toni, Zach and Brittany"
They all smiled while Nick ran his fingers through his short hair as the bell rang.
I groaned, and everyone knew why. " Ok Nick lets go" I said grabbing his hand feeling the electricity fly through my fingertips up my arm as I pulled him while I started to run.
I played soccer for 6 years so I was fast, but luckily enough for him, so was he.
"Why are we running?" he laughed.
"Our first class is on the opposite side of the school and we have exactly 55 seconds before Mr. Green gets in and he is a real pain" I panted after I said it.
As soon as we raced into the class we sat down in the middle of the room. The only seats left were right next to each other.
We sat down and pulled out our books and the second we opened them Mr.Green walked in.
"Good morning class, I'm Mr.Green, And welcome to your sophomore year."
