Hidden World

chapter one: New Guy

I didn't believe in any of it. Not until it almost killed me that is. You are probably wondering what 'it' is. In order to explain that, I need to start from the beginning.

"Get up you are going to be late for your first day back at school," my mom yells. I stretch and yawn and roll out of bed. "Okay, what do I want to wear today?" I sigh pulling black shorts and a black tank top out of my closet. I rub my eyes and grab my black combat boots from by my door and pick up random socks. I look in the mirror for a second and examine my hair. I tilt my head from left to right unsure of what to do with my tangled mess. I sigh and quickly brush it. "That's good enough," I say grabbing my sunglasses and school bag and rushing down stairs.

"Morning sleepy head," my mom chirps. "Morning," I say grabbing a granola bar. I am just about to walk out the door and I remember I didn't brush my teeth. I drop my bag and put the granola bar in it and run upstairs to brush them fast and I slide on the railing of the stairs. "I really wish you wouldn't do that, you are going to get hurt that way," my mother gripes. "Well find a quicker way for me to get down the stairs and I will stop," I smile and scoop my bag up again. "Bye see you later, have a good day! Be safe! Make good choices!" My mom shouts as I rush out the door. "Bye mom." I shut the door before she can say anything else. Right when I step off the porch my ride pulls up.

"Hey loser, get in," Delilah laughs. I smile and hop in the front seat of my best friends car. We pull into the parking spot closest to the doors. "Okay, be on the look out for cute guys," Delilah smirks. "Delilah, you know I could care l-" I stop unable to finish my sentence. Just when I was going to say I couldn't care less, a new mysterious guy gets out of a 1967 Chevy Impala.

He was tall, with jet black hair, and sort of built. He had black sunglasses on, black skater pants, slim fit black V-neck, black converse, and he was carrying his black leather jacket by the hanging hoop by two fingers with it thrown over his shoulder.

"Hello Earth to Emma," Delilah said snapping her fingers in front of my eyes. "Oh, yeah what?" I snapped out of my trance and looked at her confused. "You said'you know I could't care l-' and then you stopped and looked at the new guy. "
I cleared my throat,"I could careless about dating."
"Oh yeah, you were practically drueling over that hot guy," she giggled. I rolled my eyes and smiled. We got out of her Honda fit and grabbed our bags from the back seat.
I had a strange feeling. I just wanted to know more about this mysterious guy. As we walked in the doors I searched through the crowd looking for him. I finally found him just coming out of the office walking towards the library. I watched him walk and I studied the way he moved. He looked at me and I quickly looked away. My cheeks burned red and I looked down to my feet embarrassed.
"Emma come on, the bell rang we're going to be late for English. What's up with you? I've never seen you even look at a guy," Delilah stared at me confused. I smiled awkwardly and shrugged. "Just curious about who he is, we haven't had a new student in forver. Plus who would want to move here anyways?" I tried sounding sure, like that was the reason I was staring. Truth is, I don't know why I was so interested in this guy.
We walked into English class, and there he was sitting by the window looking outside. I nervously looked from him to the empty seat next to him. Delilah made her way through the desks and sat one seat over from him. I saw a girl with pretty red hair walking towards the seat I was eyeing. I quickly walked over to it and sat down, right in between Delilah and mystery guy. The girl flashed a dirty look at me and walked over to an empty seat in the back. I glanced over and saw him looking at me. He looked away and stared outside again.
The teacher walked in right as the late bell was ringing,"okay class let's get started."
School had officially begun.
