I walked into the class, avoiding eye contact with anyone as their peering eyes kept boring holes into my body. I felt uneasy as I walked to the back, taking a seat there.

You might guess what's going on. Mum brought me to a new school which is totally different from my last school. Cuz it's high school. I've always dreamt of being here and now I'm her for real but I never thought it'd be like this; no Reece, no Katie, no Carl. I guess this might be boring for me.

"Hi"

"Uhmm... hi"

"I'm Eunice"

"Alexis"

"What sort of a name is Alexis?"

Who doesn't know the name Alexis?

"Well, what sort of a question is that?"

She looked at me weirdly as she made an 'oh' sound "nice to meet you, anyway"

"You too"

"Hey"

Oh! I wish I could get invisible right now. Are they taking turns??

"Hey too"

He smiled "name?"

"Why do you care?"

"Just asking, by the way... I'm Dexter"

"Alexis"

"Nice name"

My cheeks flushed pink "thanks" I smiled.

He sat on the desk "so, may I know...."

A lady walked in, interrupting him "Oh shit! History" he muttered, walking away.

"Who are you, pretty? That's my seat"

"Oh! Sorry"

"Well, we could pair for now" he sat.

"I'm..."

"Can you stop talking, Jayden?" the supposed history teacher warned.

He rolled his eyes "I'm sorry"

"And why are you with him? Are you his new chic?"

"Oh boy!" I muttered, under my breath.

"You can't talk?"

What was I supposed to say?

"She's a newbie" the Dexter boy explained.

"So, is she dumb?"

Oh Jeez! I hate her already.

"Y'know, History classes sucks!" Jayden whispered "she uses most of her time making fun of us" he explained further.

"Pretty but a jerk" I mumbled.

"Perfect word" I giggled.

"Well, come up and introduce yourself to us" she smiled, revealing her fine white teeth.

I walked up to the front of the class.

"I'm Alexis Simpson"

"Alexis? Well, I'm Miss Bailey"

I just smiled.

"History" she added.

"Oh!" I walked back to sit with Jayden.

"Why him?" she asked.

I couldn't reply.

"Don't you think you should answer that question?"

"Uhmm... I..." I scratched my head as the bell rang, interrupting.

"Thank goodness" I sighed as she hurriedly picked her book and left.
