Not At First

Chapter 2 ({or something})

Madison~

I was sitting in second period after the assembly. It was definitely the most interesting assembly I have been too. I was taking the notes when a piece of paper from the office was handed to the teacher. "Lane, it's for you. It says go to the office and leave your stuff." I gave her a nod showing I acknowledged her and took the note from her hand.

I was walking into the office when I saw the people who sat in front of me at the assembly. Along with the people who crashed down the curtain as well.

"Ah Madison hello good to see you. I've called you down to the office so you can give our new hockey team a tour of the school. You can show them around the halls and such, since you know your way around." Why did it have to be me. "Ok yea sure" I said letting out a sigh. To be fair the team didn't seem to happy either.

I was talking about the hallways and what main hallways were where to get to what classroom when a boy in a cowboy hat came up from behind me. He was kinda hidden in the group. "Hey little lady" he stated calmly with his country accent seeking its way into every word. "Hey" I said back in response. "Your not from Minnesota are you? If I had to guess you seem like an Florida kinda girl." How could he have got all that from just a hey.

"um yea I am from there how did you know"
"Well the way you pronounce things" he said
"Let me guess cowboy your from Austin Texas?"
"Absolutely!"
From then on I knew we would be pretty close. It was kinda an instant connection, not in a romantic way just friendly silent agreement.

Everyone in the group started to talk to me after that. It was kinda an ice breaker I guess. There was a boy named ken who was super sweet and kind. He was 5'6 and I was 5'5 so we were the small ones of the group. He was a emotional kind of guy and we both knew we were gonna be besties. Who I was most interested in though was Guy Germaine. He had such a sweet voice and would laugh when he talked. I assumed it was just nerves. He was adorable when he talked though, I could listen to him for hours. But we were interrupted by somebody on the varsity team named Cole. Who just happens to ruin everything for me.

I knew him and he was an absolute jerk to anybody and everybody. I was under something called "ricks protection" where nobody on the varsity team can hurt me, emotionally and physically. I was never fond of the rule myself. I can fend for myself but I guess it's good to know they have my back. Cole never followed that though. He knew that I wanted to fight my own battles but it is just that he was a sexist douche who can never keep it in his pants. In summary he thinks that I am weak.

"Hey pretty thing" said Cole. (A/n I just think that Cole would be kinda a perv so I'm sorry if this is cringe) I could just feel myself rolling my eyes. I also hated that other people were around when he said stuff like that. "Hello Cole" I said blankly.
"What's with the newbies behind you, got stuck on tour patrol or something?" He said
"Or something" I responded yet again monotone
"Well you could always ditch them and come with me sweetheart" I felt disgusting talking to Cole and I knew the people behind me were judging the whole situation.
"Maybe not. Now can you please leave me alone"
"Fine your loss." He said casually yet when he walked past me he shoulder checked me into the lockers. I just stood the there with an annoyed face. He did this all the time and I resent him for it but I can't tell Rick or anyone about it because they won't believe me.

I look over and see the whole team watching me. I could see they felt remorse but what could they do. I just rolled my eyes saying "let's continue" in a very annoyed voice.

We got to the end of the tour and I went back to class. I was walking rubbing my shoulder because the check into the lockers wasn't very comfortable for me to say the least.

I continued to rub my shoulder giving it a little relief when all the sudden I heard footsteps picking up rapidly to catch up with me. I looked back and it was Guy. I was scared there for a second thinking it was Cole again.
"Hey are you ok. That was a pretty hard shove?" He asked sincerely. I would respond truthfully saying it did hurt but I don't like people worrying about me so I simply said "oh me yea no I'm fine, it is just a play fight thing we do."

He had a concerned look on his face. "Sorry but that doesn't really look like play fighting nor did he sound like it was a joke." I knew that Guy was concerned but I didn't want him to be, it was sweet for him to care. "I can take care of myself but thank you" I stated calmly.

He just nodded his head trying to get back to the point he was rushing up to me for. "Hey um by any chance do you know where class A201 is? I understand if you have to get back to class though."He asked nervously. I kinda chuckled to myself replying confidently with "that's the class I have right now so you can just follow me." He smiled and nodded his head.
I could tell he wasn't much of a talker and more a listener.

We walked into class and i sat at my table with some other people who I chatted off and on with. He sat next to me looking pretty anxious. I figured I could attempt to calm him. "Everything is ok. The period is almost over. Oh and you don't have worry about the notes, I'll make you a copy" I stated with a warm genuine smile.

I could see the tension in his body fade away a little bit. "Thank you. I don't know if this is too much to ask but can you help me get to my next class?" He said
"Sure let me see your schedule." I replied. I loved helping people and like I said earlier I have a sweet side.

"Wow that's crazy! We have the same classes both days." I said excitedly. Our school has A and B days. It's to get more time in the classes. I was surprised he was in stem like me though. It was a class not for smart kids, and more of a project based class that focuses on real world problems. We also had Agriculture, Math, English, science, Theatre which was a surprise but hey I'm not gonna complain, Business computer applications, dance, and Information technology. Every class together. Sounds like a miracle I can't wait. I just hope he feels the same.
