Boys in books are just better

New school

I walked trough the front doors with kat after my parents signed us in. I got my new schedule.

I had..

Science~1st

Math~2nd

Computer~3rd

Social studies~4th

Lunch

Language (aig😄)~5th

And lastly I was able to get into the performing arts class.

She had langue first so we said good bye and I found my locker. It was number 46 (div reference for page 446 when tris shot will😭😝) I walked into science and I walked up to the teachers desk. she was a kind,middle aged woman with bleach blonde hair. she saw me walk in and smiled at me. "hi are you Rachel, the new student?"

"Yes ma'ma" I replied politely.

She stood and walked to a desk as the front of the room with a cold stone platform. "Students this is Rachel, make her feel welcome" she said and returned to her desk. A few kids stared at me, others whispered to friends. One boy stood up and walked to the front. tords me.

"Hey I'm William, but you can call me will" he said stretching out his hand for me to shake. he was a thin muscular kid, with dark brown hair that was cut short with a slight spike, brown eyes, and he was easy to look at. He wore a black Hurley t shirt with jeans and some black dc sneakers.

I myself wore my 'we're all bloody inspired' tmr shirt and jeans and vans but I had on Brandon's oversized hoddie. Kat had teased me but I had to have something to remind me of home.

"Hey I'm Rachel, but you knew that and you can call me raych" I said shaking his hand with a shy smile. his hand was tender and softer than I thought it would be, almost like Brandon's...

"Well raych, I'll officially welcome you to west view middle, home of the Bobcats. I see you came from the.." he paused and

tried to read my hoddie "Silverado bulldogs" I explained for him.

"I see, and you played basketball?"

"Team caption of the girls team" I stated kinda proud.

"Nice, why does this say men's basketball.." he asked and I bit my lip. "it's a guy-friends from my old school, in fact one of my 2 best friends, but we weren't dating or anything.." I said. I didn't know why I needed to make it so clear that I was single..

"Ohh, cool then.. you wanna come sit with me and my friends?" He asked sorta shy as he stuffed his thumbs in his pockets.

"Sure, sounds good" I said while I knew I was blushing slightly. I didn't expect a guy to automatically try to become my friend. I thought some of the popular girls, or sporty girls would welcome me into their click.

At my old school I was In with the popular's even though I was kinda a nerd.

I walked over and one guy moved for me to sit right next to will. I gave him a shy smile as he sat in a seat in front of me. the desks were in groups of five. "Mikel's absence is the reason for an open seat but I'm sure when he comes back we can make room for you, if you wanna of course" will said awkwardly rubbing his neck while saying the last part. I smiled at him and did the awkward turtle tords him, with my hands, and the table laughed.

"Yeah, I'd love to sit with y'all" I said smiling.

"Oooo, a southern belle" one of the guys cooed with a smirk.

"Yeah you got a problem with that?!" I defended jokingly.

"Not at all, Your cool, I'm Kevin by the way" the guy, named Kevin said and I shook his out stretched hand. "okay,okay, let's let raych tell us about herself" will said while also shushing the boys then motioned to me once they got quiet.
