A Classic Teenage Romance

Chapter 5: The New Boy

EDITED//

It was Wednesday morning and I had just walked into Biology with Dane, laughing at some stupid joke he had just made when I saw him. At least, thats how it should have gone.

In reality I rushed into Biology, tugging a protesting Dane behind me because he thought it would be a good idea to wait around until the last minute to leave for his least favourite class. As we noisily entered the room, Dane started to complain again, "Belle I dont wanna be here I wanna go surf, I hate Bio!" I rolled my eyes and let out a frustrated huff "Oh my gosh Dane shut up, you already made me late!" I yelled, not realising that we had just disrupted the whole class and that their attention was now focused on us, rather then our teacher who now looked completely and utterly pissed.

"Sh*t" I mumbled under my breath, waiting for Ms Felicity to say something. Ms Felicity is an ancient, crabby woman who had been teaching at Basewood Private forever, well at least since the 1950's when it was founded. She scowled before removing her tortoise shelled glasses, "well, ladies and gentlemen shall we all welcome and thank Miss Adams and Mr Spencer for finally gracing us with their presence?" I felt my face redden and lowered my head "Sorry we're late Miss" I mumbled in embarrassment. Dane on the other hand grinned and winked at her "Your welcome Miss F, its a pleasure as always" She rolled her eyes and pointed to a chair in the far corner, "Isabelle you may sit there for the remainder of the year and Dane, you will be sitting up the front, I wouldn't want you to miss anything. I know how much you love my class" I groaned inwardly, sending Dane a glare. Great. I began to move towards my new desk. As i neared my desk weaving my way through the maze of desks I dropped my drink bottle. Before i could pick it up a tanned hand enclosed around it and lifted it, I raised my eyes to the person holding it and felt my face heat up, once again.

"You dropped something," a voice said, I raised my eyes only to meet those of a boy I had never seen, his blue eyes locking with mine. I gulped. Damn, where has this boy been all my life. His muscular frame was positioned in a laid back fashion in the ancient school desk and the white school shirt he wore hugged his chest tightly, his jawline was that of gods and I watched his mouth turn up into a smile. Dammit, he totally just caught me checking him out. I mumbled out a thank you, grabbed the drink bottle and turned to retreat to my desk, only to realise it was right next to him. I groaned, of course.

The new guy gave me a side glance and I looked away quickly settling down in the desk. I began to take notes, whilst staring daggers at the back of Dane's head.

"Stop scowling, it'll give you wrinkles" A voice interrupted my stare off with Danes blonde bun, I turned looking at the source of the statement. Mr New Boy, of course, he glanced at me and grinned and kept working on the task the teacher had just set us.

I felt myself blush, usually I would have some witty comeback, but my brain seemed to have gone on a field trip, and forgotten to take me with. So I merely gave the boy a sheepish smile before beginning my work.

Ten minutes later the bell rang signalling the end of class. I quickly got up and began gathering my books and putting them into my bag. Before i felt a presence next to me. I turned and was met by the new boy. He smiled at me, before running a hand through his messily styled hair. "Im Christian, I just moved here and have no one to talk to, so i was wondering if you could maybe show me around" he asked somewhat embarrassed. I smiled at his awkwardness, mustering up some courage I spoke to him directly for the first time.

"Sure, Christian I'm Isabelle and I would love to show you around" He smiled gratefully and we made our way out of the classroom to Dane who was waiting at the door. I introduced the two and asked Christian where he was from. "Well, I travel around a lot, I was born here but just came back from a year in England, and before that I was in Switzerland, South Africa and Japan for a bit, but looks like I'm here for good" he replied. "Wow, that's so cool! I've been to Japan and I loved it!" I said enthusiastically and Dane joined in on the conversation "Yeah, and i went to South Africa for a surf comp last year and it was amazing. You're so lucky you got to live there man" he thumped Christian on the back and he nodded happily, "Yeah its nice, but I'm happy to finally be settling down, you know?" Dane and I both agreed readily, understanding where he was coming from.

As we were walking over to our friends, I couldn't help but notice the looks we got from other students, mainly the girls. Some smiled, but majority gawked after the two boys and glared at me. I threw them a wink and smiled playfully, as Taylor Swift says 'Haters gonna hate, hate, hate" .

When we finally reached our massive lunch table, Dane and I took turns introducing Christian to everyone. I could see the girls checking him out and I didn't blame them, the boy was extremely hot. My phone beeped checking it i saw it was a text from Dane, who was sitting across from me. I looked up at him questioningly and he smirked and nodded his head at my phone, waiting for me to open the message. 'Dude, stop checking out the new guy, he's cool dont scare him away with the drooling ;)' I felt my face redden and gave his leg a swift kick under the table. 'you're such an ass Spencer' I quickly replied.Authors Note:

New chapter mwahahaha.

What do you think of Christian? I was really conflicted about how to portray him, like i kind of wanted to do the whole bad boy thing but i just thought it would be different to make him sweet. Excuse any mistakes it's 12:00 at night and I'm so tired,

much love xx
