The excitement for my first day at school was overwhelming for me. I have been an extrovert since I day i remember. Everyone in my previous school was aware of this fact . I have always wondered how it would feel like to be an introvert , to be the mysterious silent guy in the class .
This was my mission in the new school to be the cool mysterious kid.
______________________________________The next morning I got dressed in my best outfit that would suit my new personality.
I left my place after breakfast.
I had to walk there because my father didn't have the time to buy me a bike .. The school was at a distance of fifteen minutes on foot . I wasn't worried about having to walk because I knew it was only for today as dad would buy a bike in the evening after he had finished unpacking.
I walked admiring the nature . It was a moderately hot morning with a non humid atmosphere. The suns rays were not too harsh. The white little wild flowers near the side walk reflected the light of the sun and looked beautiful.
I reached school and to my surprise everyone was dressed in casuals and there was no uniform. It was quite different from my old school were uniform was compulsory and i thought that I would be the only one without one . I thought that I would get mine today but....
Most of them busy in their own worlds .
I was happy to see two tall ,hot perfectly tanned girls and wished them to be in my class . It would hurt to have one of them as my girlfriend. They would match my muscular frame ,my height and most of all my handsome face. We would be great together.
My first reflex was to smile at them and start a conversation but then I remembered my motto.
I walked right past them . As I stepped into the hallway I asked a guy in a red tshirt almost as talk as I am with decent looks about my homeroom which according to my timetable was the place where my first class will be conducted, he pointed towards the staircase and said" third floor -third room to the left".
He then asked ,"are u new here ? you don't seem familiar with this place ".
To which I replied "Yes I just.."and stopped as I thought sharing too much wouldn't make the impression i wanted to create. I said "thank you" smiled and moved towards the direction he pointed.I reached my room saw the lockers lined up against the opposite side of the door .
The morning bell rang. I walked up my room to find that the most of the students have already settled down and to my surprise the teacher was already there ..
As I stood near the door he asked me to get inside.
As I walked in he did the normal routine of introducing me to the class .
He said" Pay attention class Mr Forbes,here is a transfer student from California . Hope you guys act kind and help him adjusting here".
He then asked me to introduce myself .
I said ," I am Jeremy Forbes" exactly how i practiced it .
He waited for me to say a few more words but i didn't so he pointed towards the only empty seat in the classroom and asked me to settle down. I saw something which didn't actually made me happy . I always thought u would sit beside a beautiful girl in class on the contrary I was stuck with the ugliest looking person in the room.
She had a dark complexion not the one which u get after a summer tan , even darker circles around her eyes which made her selera almost pop out . She worn a black oversized t shirt with beige oversized cargo pants . Her hair was tied in a super sleek bun which I thought was the reason for her receding hair line . She did not look like any another girl in the class. She was not someone I imagined i would be sharing seats with.
As I reached near her, she gave me a small smile. Unwillingly i smiled back .As I sat down she introduced herself.
She said ," Hi , I am Sam."
I replied ,"Hey"...
Then immediately broke the eye contact and started looking towards the teacher.
As I heard him ask us to turn to page 14 of our books i struck me that I don't have one with me and i didn't want to ask my weird partner for help .
I just sat there and after a minute saw that she pushed her textbook towards my table and stopped as it was half way there .
Looking at the book i said "thank you", thinking it would be basic courtesy.
She smiled and started writing in her notebook all the important points that were taught today.
I could not help but notice that at times between writing notes she doodled around the margins. Cute cup cakes, school supplies, coke cans ,and what seemed my a little illustration of Mr Matthew.The bell rang and the first period was over we had Geography as our next period with Mrs Ginger in room number 12.
She asked me ,"What subject do u have next?"
I answered "Geography " praying that she was not in my class.
She said "I have geography too it's on the second floor ."
I said "Thanks" because I didn't have anything better to say.
I got up and moved towards the door .
I didn't want to sit next to her for geography also. So I almost ran down the stairs so that I could find a seat near someone i really wanted to sit.
I saw an empty seat beside a beautiful girl . She was wearing a pink skin fitting crop top and a grey mini skirt. I immediately sat myself next to her . I wanted to introduce myself but i didn't.
Just a few minutes later i saw Sam walk in . As soon as she stepped inside two guys standing on either side of the door shouted her name . She had a same small smile as she had in the morning. Then the taller one among the two held her arms and almost lifted her off her feet and the other one started tickling her . I thought this was how people bullied here .
Then I heard the girl sitting beside me say " look they never get tired of this, these guys always need a chance to mess with her ". I turned my head towards her as i thought see was talking to me but sadly she was talking with someone sitting in front of her.
______________________________________I had Sam in every class except for chemistry. I was devastated as my first day did not go as planned . Noone started a conversation with me except for Sam . I wanted to make new friends ,flirt with the hot girls but this new personality thing was killing me ...
