the new girl

chapter 1.

faiths pov.

new state. new city. new school. brand new life. as much as i wanted to just forget everything and start fresh, i hadn't realized how scary a first day of school could be at a new school.

first day of senior year so i gotta make it memorable. biology is first. i walk through the classroom door and am immediately greeted with everyone's stares and whispers. this might be caused by my outfit which is low rise mom jeans with a crop top that has a deep v cut to show off my cleavage and toned stomach.

"she's the new kid" "why'd she transfer here"

i clutch onto my books tighter and head towards the back of the class. i found a seat on the very back row which is a table that has an extra seat to the right of me. i'm just hoping nobody weird chooses to sit there.

minutes go by and right as the bell rings, i see him. nate. jacobs. or that's who i would find out he is. he looks around for a seat and spots me in the back. nate began to make his way towards the back of the room and sure enough, sits down right next to me.

"hey i'm nate. nate jacobs" as he extends his hand for me to shake it
"i'm faith richards. it's nice to meet you"
"the feeling is mutual faith. so i'm taking it as you're new here?"
"oh no, what gave it away" i chuckled at my own joke
"the beautiful face that i've never seen around here before" nate said with a smile
"wow. the first person i meet just happens to be a guy with cheesy pickup lines" i say trying to hide my cheeks blushing.
"well i try to b-" the teacher cuts him off
"hello, welcome class to biology. today we will go over the syllabus and also. the person you are sitting next to will be your partner for the rest of the year. any changes need to be made immediately. let's get started. your first project is due in 3 weeks so get started immediately..."

i zoned out of her lecture and i'm guessing nate did to since he started up a conversation with me.
"faith" bringing me out of my thoughts
"oh. yeah i'm sorry. zoned out"
"i was just wondering what your next classes are"
"i have history calculus lunch then english then it's free periods"
"well what a coincidence. i have the exact same schedule except after 2 free periods i have football practice"
"oh so you're a football guy"
"quarterback actually"
"well it is just my lucky day then"
"how about we walk to class together and you can have lunch with me and i'll introduce you to some people"
"sounds perfect quarterback"
"you have a boy from back home?"
"nah that's actually why i'm here. running from him"
"he was that bad?"
"you have no idea"

classes fly by and now it's lunch time. i'm walking alongside nate into the cafeteria and we sit down at a rounded table with other jocks and cheerleaders. nate's introducing me to the players when a girl comes and sits on the other side of him.

"why are you beside my boyfriend? who the fuck do you think you are?"
"oh umm i'm sorry. i didn't know." i mumbled as
i got up from the table.

i began to walk out of the lunchroom when a blonde girl called me over.

"hi i'm cassie."
"faith"
"oh and the bitch with the ego who just screamed at you is maddie. her and nate are a on and off again couple who's pretty toxic"
"yeah i can tell"
"anyways, what are you doing after school today?"
"no plans yet."
"perfect. you are coming over to my house to pregame before a party tonight"
" seriously?"
"yep. give me your number and i'll text you the info"

me and cassie immediately hit it off and just clicked instantly. soon lunch was over and i headed towards english class. some deep voice started calling my name from behind me as i was walking and when i turned around it was none other than nate jacobs.
