(A/N) This is my first book i hope y'all like it lol i'm not that good but i've been having some ideas lately

Andrew's POV-
I walk into school and everyone in the halls stops whatever they're doing and turn and stare. And even worse start whispering and laughing, the biggest knot i've ever felt forms in my stomach as i take a deep breath and puff my chest out. I start walking to my first class and don't seem to notice what seems to be a jock stick his leg out. I obviously trip and as soon as my face is about to hit the floor....
I sit up really fast panting in a cold sweat "god why do i have to have a nightmare the night before the first day of school?" I complain quietly to myself as i grab my phone to check the time. It's pretty early in the morning as i expected but not too early '6:32' I read off my phone setting it back on my side table deciding to just get ready for school. Seeing as how i wouldn't be able to fall back asleep after that anxiety rising slumber.

   I get up and head downstairs making me a small bowl of cereal since I know I can't eat that much in the mornings. I finish my breakfast and stick my dish in the overflowing sink after rinsing it of corse. I head back upstairs and into the bath room, getting undressed for my shower. I glance into the mirror to see the person that i oh so hate the most in this wonderful world filled with so many more beautiful people. Suddenly i feel as if i'm a balloon and i'm inflating i seem to keep looking bigger and bigger every time i blink. The next time i blink a tear rolls down my face and i quickly wipe it away mentally calling myself pathetic and to get over it. I take one last look in the mirror and suddenly feel a rush of sickness run through me; i quickly lean over to the toilet and get sick 1..2...3 times before i finally feel fine again. I wipe my mouth then brush my teeth, and finally hop into the shower which took me about 15-20 minutes. After i'm done i head to my room and get dressed into some Black jeans and a baby blue t-shirt with my white tennis shoes. Not to hard looking but it's the only nice outfit i have without looking more like a child than my actual 17 year old self.

   "ANDREW YOU READY!?" I hear my mom shout from downstairs as i grab my phone and bag. "YEAH IM COMING" i quickly yell back. I head down stairs and get my hug and kiss on the cheek from my mom before heading out the door and heading to school.

   I arrive at what looks to be the biggest school i've ever seen in my life. I stop by a sign that says 'WELCOME TO RED STONE HIGH' I take a deep breath and head inside. Luckily the office was right near the entrance so i immediately found it without a problem. I walk into the office to see a sweet looking old lady with a name tag on that read 'Ms.Watt'. I stand in-front of her desk and she looks up and smiles at me really sweetly (as i expected). "Hey darlin what can i do for you?" i mentally curse myself for stating to feel small. "u-uhm i-i'm new here and i j-just here for th-the uhm the tour y-y'all told me about" once again i curse myself but this time for my stutter. Ms.Watt waits patiently for me to finish (which was nice) and nods "Ahh yes, you must be Andrew,...Andrew Davis?" I nod back. "Ooh ok ok, hold on one sec" she types on her computer for a sec then looks at me and smiling before dialing some number on the office phone. I zone out but can kinda hear her talking about sending a student up to the office because of a new student (me). Next thing i know she hung up and smiles at me again telling me a student in my first period will be sent up here to give me a tour, i just nodded.

   A few minutes later a girl with brown curly hair halfway covered in a red beenie, tan skin, and a light amber set of eyes walks into the office. Ms.Watt smiles at her "Hey Julie this is Andrew he is the student you will be giving a tour to" " okay thanks Ms.Watt. Hey i'm Julie it's nice to meet you..can i see your schedule?" "H-hey i'm Andrew h-here you go" i stuttered out again hating the way i sounded but forcing my hand up to hand her my schedule. I look at her while she looks at my schedule (she's really pretty i would probably date her if i was not so...y'know...fruity)  Julie looks up at me and smiles " we have first block and lunch together!!" she states happily (wow she actually seems happy to be around me) "alright let's get you that tour" she starts walking and i just follow. She walks and talk to and about my teachers and classes and our tour is finally done when the bell rings and kids start pouring into the halls from the gym which is where we have to go until its time to go to class. We say our goodbyes and i head back to the office. Ms.Watt greets me with that smile and i smile back this time and she hands me some textbooks and a computer that i stick into my book bag.

  As i'm walking back to my first block i hear the bell ring once again which signals that i'm late i speed walk as fast as i can. Unsurprisingly when i get there the door is shut (oh god i have to knock) I hesitantly hit my fist to the door three times (my lucky number) and a minute later the door opens. As i expected all eyes on me, i look around and find Julie in the crowd i smile and wave to her and she does the same back. The teacher Mr. Smiles gives me a death glare (how convenient). He points to the only empty desk which me Julie and a few other students turn to look at. " oh god no" Julie whispers i look at her terrified what could she mean by that "it's fine...you'll be fine" she didn't sound so sure but i went and took a seat anyway as i had already disrupted the class. In the classroom the desk were those double ones the ones for two. I get to where Mr.Smiles pointed to see a dude sitting there whom i will be sitting with he stops talking and laughing with his friends at the table next to us on his side and turns and looks at me as i take a seat. He smiles at me and his friends also look at me but then they smirk then whisper to each other. I give a small smile back and then the teacher announces we will have to say our names aloud to the class by tables. OMG NO i can barely talk to one person let alone a whole class. Mr.Smiles points at tables and the two people introduce themselves. Soon enough and too soon for my liking he points my my table, "I'm James" the kid next to me says and smirks then looking at me actually seeming interested to learn my name "i-i'm uhh i'm A-Andrew"  and the teacher continues to point at the rest of the tables. James looks at me and whispers "late to class on the first day of school? what an impression" "O-oh yea s-sorry i was getting my s-stuff from the office" i look down at my lap and play with or more like pick at my fingers. "hey no, don't worry about it i was just messing with you, sorry" i nod James gives me a very pretty smile and whispers "hey Andrew?" "yeah?" "are you nervous you seem really on edge?" I feel my face heat up and try to hide my blush the best i can (i know i didn't hide it because he smiles and chuckles at my reaction) i just nod my head saying yes "you don't have to be nervous around me i don't bite, nor judge. and if someone tells you bad things about me or that i'm bad news they are going off of a one time thing" I nod and smile secretly wondering what this one time thing was ."ok" i respond he smiles again and we continue the rest of class glancing and smiling at each other.

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter
love y'all!!❤️❤️❤️
