Breaking The Ice

~Chapter 1~

  ~Alana's POV~

I just woke up in my new bed. New room. New house. New town. New life. New me.

I just moved in with my mom and stepdad that live in Chicago Illinois from port Aransas in Texas.

I lived with my dad in Texas for most of my life. But my dad died while on leave. My dad was in the Marines. That was two weeks ago. School started 3 weeks ago.

I get out of bed and walk over to my closet and grab my clothes. I grab black jeans, a white cropped tank top, a grey sweatshirt that says Hawaii, and my old beatn' up black converse high tops.

(A/n This is her outfit but with converse and no rips on the jeans. Sorry) <3

I also grabbed my dad's dog tags and put them around my neck. Which brought tears to my eyes.

I get in the shower and try to relax my nerves. When I get out I brush my teeth and hair. And straightened my curly hair. When I'm done I walk over to my desk and pack my backpack.

I walk downstairs to grab an apple for breakfast. I don't have time to grab anything else. I'm going to be starving until lunch.

Seeing My mom is already at work and my stepdad. I send her a quick text saying I'm leaving for school. My mom is a nurse and my stepdad is a doctor.

I walked out my front door and locked it. And started walking to school. It's like a 10-15 min walk to school. I think.

I'm a senior at Whitney Young Magnet High School in Chicago Illinois.

I got to school and let me just say wow. This school is ginormous. Like at least two times bigger than my other high school in Texas.

I walk in and start heading to the office. If I can find it. A lot of people are giving me weird looks.

I walked up the stairs still trying to find the office. After 10 min I found it. Thank goodness.

I walk in and see an oldish lady at a desk. Wearing a floral shirt and a black skirt. She also has grey-white hair that's pinned up in a bun. "Excuse me." No response. "Ma'am." No response. "Miss." She finally looked up. "I'm so sorry I bearly heard you. What can I help you with young lady?" "Um, i-i need my s-schedule. Please." "Of course. What's your name sweetie?" She asked me. " Um yeah, s-sorry it's Alana Dawson."

She started looking through some papers. "Here you go, have a nice day." She said while handing me the paper. "Thank you and you too."

Thank you for attending Whitney Young Magnet High School. Enjoy the year.

I start walking trying to find room 103. After walking in circles and getting lost for around 10 min. This is fun I'm already around 20 min late. Yay

I finally find room 103. Math. I'm not the best in math so this will be fun.

I walk in and the whole class is silent and staring at me. Q the blush.

I look over towards where the teacher is. I see a man middle-aged with glasses, brown hair, and a suit and tie.

"Can I help you?" The teacher said. while bringing his coffee cup to his lips. I start to walk over to his desk. "Um yeah, I'm n-new here," I say quietly. "Ah, you must be Alana Dawson." "Yes sir. Sorry, I'm late. I couldn't find the classroom." I said quietly.

"It's fine. You can sit next to Mr. Rossi in the back of the class on the right side next to the window." He pointed over to a guy which I couldn't see his face because of his hood from his hoodie. The way in the back of the class.

I walk towards my seat. I look around and see almost everybody is looking at me. Which of course makes me blush.

I sit down next to Mr. Rossi. And start getting my stuff out while the teacher. Mr. Roman. Starts teaching again.

I'm writing notes down when I feel eyes on me. I look over and see the guy next to me staring at me. With no emotion present on his face.

This is the first time seeing his face. Let me just say he is very attractive. He had black kinda curly hair, and grey-blue eyes, he looked very tall but I couldn't tell because he was sitting down.

All throughout the class, I could feel eyes on me, not just from Mr. Rossi but the whole class. Which makes me blush.

The class went pretty smoothly. Other than the fact that I almost tripped on my chair when I was getting up to throw something away.

Once the school bell went off. I start to pack everything up. I stand up and start to walk to chemistry in room 118. Mrs. Peterson  And I tripped on another chair. This is great it's the beginning of the day and I already have tripped twice.

(A/n there will be part two coming soon. I know this is kinda cheesy but I hope you enjoy)

Please give me feedback
