The Seed

First day

The alarm rings two times before I open my eyes. I stay looking at the ceiling until my elder brother comes into the room, and takes my blanket. He smiles and hits me playfully with a pillow. Then he says:
"Wake up little one" I can see in his face he hasn't sleep well
"Oh please, just five minutes more..." I'm really tired, I shouldn't have stayed until so late watching Originis yesterday.
"Come on! Today is the first day in your new school. You don't want to be late, do you?"He open the windows and remains looking at the forest.
I know today is a special day, but I don't want to go back to school. I don't want to feel again that feeling of loneliness.

I open my wardrobe and try to choose which clothes to wear. Eventually I decide to wear just a jumper, jeans and my new trainers. I don't want other people to look at me.
I try to eat something but I'm too nervous and I just drink a glass of milk. By the time the bus stops in front of my house I have checked three times if I have everything I'll need during my first day.

Just before I leave the house my brother i hear my brother massages my back a little bit to make me relax:
"Don't be upset Emma, everybody will like you" he says.

However we both know that isn't true. The bus stops in front of my house and I know it's time to leave.
"Have a good day and just remember to be yourself " He gives a pat on my shoulder.

I get on the bus and choose a sit in the middle not to sit with the popular but neither with the nerds. I don't understand why people's so obessessed in separating everything. I don't really see the difference. We all think we are special, but in the end we are all the same. Sometimes I just like to wonder what really matters, cause everyone seems to be stressed and worried about everything but what to they really care for? I don't really understand it.
While I'm checking my phone a girl sits next to me. She seems nice, but when I try to chat with her she just gives me a dirty look as if she was superior. Guess it may not be the best day of my life.

We arrive to high school after a 15 minutes trip which seems endless to me.
Before I go to my classroom I'm so freaking nenrvous that I have to go to the toilets two times. When I finally arrive to class everybody has already taken a sit and is talking with their mates waiting for a teacher to come in. I choose to sit in the middle of the room, next to a short and slim brunette girl. She smiles shyly to me and asks me about myself. After we've chatted for a few minutes I know that she's called Ansley,  that she has two sisters (an older and a younger one) and her parents are divorced but she lives with her mother, and that we live in the same neighborhood, She is really nice to me and we get on well really fast. Maybe afterall this isn't going to be so bad. We keep on talking so we don't notice that a teacher has entered to the room.

"Good morning, I'm Smith and I'll be your tutor and English teacher during this year"
He's a tall thin man. He's quite handsome and young. He must be under 30 years old. His brown eyes are exactly the same than his short hair.
"This is the second year I teach in this school but I don't know some of us" He looks at me and says
"You're Emma, aren't you? Come here and inroduce you to the rest of the class" The worst that could had happened. I don't want to seem nervous so I breath to make myself relax. I get up and stand right in front of the blackboard.
"Hi, I'm Emma Jansen, I've just moved to this town" I look at Smith wishing this is enough. Unfortunately he wants me to explain more about myself.
"Come on, don't be shy" He says" Tell us, what are your hobbies?
"Well...I like singing and playing the guitar" I say nervously.
"That's nice!" He says smiling" You can sit now" He winks at me.
The rest of the class is the typical explanation of the first day and the rules. After this class we haveaths and history before the break. I'm the first to leave the classroom. I leave the books in the lockers.

"Emma, do you want to join us?" Ansley and another girl are waiting behind me.
"Sure!" I close my locker and follow them. I look at the other girl. She seems nice but she is shy. She is called Linda. They have been in the same class since they were little and they are good friends. We sit down and chat while we eat together. We are finishing when a boy comes and speaks with Ansley. He's really hot and handsome. He catches me staring at him. I blush and continue eating focusing on my food. I don't want him to look at me. I hear he's called Harry.
"Harry, this is Emma, the new student in our class" Ansley introduces him to me-
"Hi Emma, nice to meet you" His deep voice makes something within me wake up.
"Hello" This is all I can say. I'm so nervous that my voice breaks.
"Sorry girls I have to leave. Steph is waiting for me"
"Okay" Ansley says.
When he has left Ansley starts to tell me.
"That was my cousin. We would also be good friends when we were young, but now, since he's popular he doesn't have time to spend with people like me" By the way she explains this I can see that she's hurt. She changes the subject and we continue talking about other thing. However my mind is still with Harry.
"Ansley" I ask her "Who's Steph?"
"Oh, someone you don't need to know." The way she says this words shows her hate to that girl. "She's Harry's girlfriend, a popular cheerleader" As I hear these words I also start to hate her.
I feel bad for judging that girl without knowing her. Maybe she has treated Ansley badly, but I don't like criticising people.
"That's Steph" Ansley says when we are leaving the canteen and walking to the corridor. I see a slim blond-haired girl wearing a mini skirt and a shirt skirt which seems a sport bra. Her blue eyes make her look like an angel. I see her forced smile. She's surrounded by lots of girls and boys, but I feel that she isn't happy. Then I see Harry behind her. I feel jealous.
The alarm rings and we go back to class.

After the break we have three other classes: chemistry, biology and english. I find relly interesting the first two ones
I get really bored during language class. Every year we do the same with a new small difficulty. Smith makes us a small test ro see how much we remember of the last year. I get through it pretty well. The bell rings and all the students leave running. I take the bus back home. When I arrive at home I do all the homework and have a shower. I wish I had friends to hang up with now. I play the guitar and try to compose a song, but I can't inspiration isn't with me today. I decide to go for a walk with my dog, Lucy. She's a sweet small beagle. We walk almost five through the neighborhood before we reach the woods. Then we take continue walking in a small path.

Time remains frozen as we get away from the city. I lose the sense of time and It's hard to believe we've been walking during an hour because I feel like we've just been walking ten minutes.

We arrive to an open field. It is the most spectacular landscape I've ever seen. The trees in autumn colors create an almost perfect circle around the field. The wind has made leaves fall down and create a brown carpet covering the ground. I can hear water. On the other side there's a narrow stream. I sit in a rock and stay looking at the scenery stunned. Meanwhile Lucy runs happily across the field. However we have to leave after a few minutes as sun is going down.

We follow the path and undo our steps, but I can't remember the way and we get lost. I shout many times hoping someone hears us. I start to cry. After some time crying my head aches, and start shouting again. Then a big dog, a golden retriever appears through the trees. Lucy starts runnig after him and so do I. After five minutes running I can see a human silouhette. When I get closer I see it is a boy.

'Hi! I'm new in this zone and I've got lost. Can you help me to find the way home?" The boy turns around and I can reckon him. Harry. I blush.
"Wait, you're in my class, aren't you" I'm glad he has recognised me! I try not to show how much he intimidates me. "Yes, I'm Emma. Ansley has introduced us today" I answer shyly. "Oh! That's true! I didn't remember! Come on, I'm going back home so we can go together." He smiles. I love the dimples in his cheeks. He's so sweet that I have to stop staring at him. I'm surprised that he's kind though I'm not popular.
"So you say you've just moved over here" He looks at me. "Yes, I lived in a small town far from the city. My dad was offered a better job here so we moved." "Do you miss your old friends?" I don't explain the fact that we also moved because I was bullied and I wanted to change of highschool to get a second chance. My old time was really small, just five thousand habitants. Everyone knew each other. I just had one true friend: Nicky. She is the only reason why I miss my old life. "Yes, but people are being really kind here." I answer honestly. He explains me how much he loves singing and playing the bass. He also loves animals. We chat about music and our favourite bands. We have the same dream: becoming famous. However he's handsome and hot, and I'm just a normal girl. Time goes really fast next to him. I could stay forever listening to his voice. Lucy also likes a lot Harry's dog, Charlie. They play a lot while we walk. We live in the same neighborhood, so I just have to walk alone two minutes to get home. "Maybe we can walk the dogs together another day." He says before he opens his house's fence. "Sure! See ya!" He smiles and I keep on walking.

When I arrive home my parents are really angry and worried. They say that I could have get lost or gotten hurt. I don't tell them that I've really got lost. Instead I say that I wanted to try a new route. I eat dinner the fastest I can. I go to my roo, change onto a pijama and lie in my bed. After all, the day I had thought that would be the worse in my life has turned into being on of the best. I hope I'm the same lucky tomorrow. I fall asleep really fast still thinking about Harry.
