A Forest Away (dnf)

One

"George get up!", I slowly open my eyes so they can adjust to the light that filled the room "You're going to be late!", my dad yells while shaking me so I could fully wake up from my slumber.

"I'm up I'm up", I tell my dad as I sit up and rub my eyes "I expect you to be ready in 5 minutes", He says as he turns to the door slamming it behind him.

Well Good morning to you to I roll my eyes and get up. I walk over to my closet and grab my light blue hoodie along with some black jeans. Once I was finished getting dressed I put on my shoes.

I left my room and went to the room across the hall which was the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and went back to my room to get my bookbag then started heading down stairs. I then see my dad waiting on the couch.

"Surprise surprise you are actually on time", I just stare at him but I don't say a word "Don't just stand there get to school!", I nod my head and go to the door. I grab my keys off the counter then head out the door He doesn't even care that I didn't eat breakfast.

My house is somewhat in the forest but not as far into it like others. I have to walk through a path which goes into the forest to get to school. But it only goes on for a few minutes.

I eventually made it to the stone brick building that had a sign on top with the school's name in big letters and its school colors. This is only my third year here, Just one more to go. I neared the door but then heard a familiar noise.

I turn and see my friend Nick on his skateboard coming over. He sees me and waves. I returned the gesture once he made it to the front of the steps. He stopped and kicked up his board and made his way over to me "Sup man! How have you been?", He exclaimed "I've been good, what about you?" "I've been good to"

I met Nick online during middle school and we've been friends ever since. Nick had brown hair somewhat like mine but he died it to make it look darker, he has green eyes unlike my brown ones, his hair is long but it only reaches up to his shoulders which he likes to have it in a half ponytail, he always wears his ridiculous solid white bandana which he never goes anywhere without, also he's slightly shorter than me but he still likes to think he's taller.

We make our way inside and head towards my locker. I grab my textbooks- "Oh hey! Look who it is, Georgie!", I instantly knew who it was. I rolled my eyes then Nick and I both turned to look at him.

"What do you want Aiden?", I asked, making it obvious that I was annoyed with him. "No need to be rude George, I just want to say hi to my pal", He says while putting his arm around my shoulder. I immediately took it off, we were anything but pals.

He has held a grudge on me ever since that one time I talked to this girl that he apparently liked at the time but I was partnered up with her for a project so I had no other choice but to talk to her and he has hated me ever since, even when I kept telling him I wasn't into her.

I wasn't even into the fact of getting with a girl like that for that matter but he just never listens. The bell rings signaling us it was time to get to class "Well I'll see you in class Georgie", He says smirking.

"The nerve the guy has", Nick stated "Tell me about it", I replied "Well I'll see you later Gogy", I look over to him with amusement "What did I say about the nickname", I remind him "What!, it's funny!"

I honestly have no idea where he got the nickname from. "Well not to me it not", If I'm being honest I don't really mind the nickname I just don't like it when it's being said in public "Well then bye GeOrGe"

I shake my head "Bye Nicolas", I say while smirking as he was walking away knowing very well what to expect. He then turns around dramatically and shouts "THAT'S NOT MY NAME!", I chuckle and start heading to class.

When I arrived I made my way to my seat and waited for the teacher to begin class and that was when He walked in. Clay Walker he has dirty blonde hair, his eyes are like shiny emeralds, his skin is coated with freckles, he wears a necklace but always seems to hide it underneath his shirt, his ears were pierced and he wears rings if he feels like it which he was today if you care about that sort of stuff.

He moved to this school about a year ago and I don't know what but something about him just caught my eye. He is such a sweet guy unlike the person he hangs out with. I also noticed that he loves being in the nature, just being out in the wildness and being left alone with nothing but his thoughts.

I admire him, sometimes I wish that- "George!", I blink then I look up to the front of the class and see my teacher standing there with arms crossed and disappointed look on her face She must have been calling me for while without me noticing "Can you answer number 6?", I froze.

I wasn't paying attention whatsoever but I had to at least say something "Um.. nine over sixteen?", it sounded more of a question then a answer "That would have been an excellent answer Mr. Davidson, if we were in math class", the class then started bursting out laughing but Aiden's obnoxious laugh was all I could hear.

"Georgie how about stop daydreaming and pay attention I'm sure your dad wouldn't like that now would he", I hated it when he would bring my dad into things.

One time I had to stay after class so the teacher could talk to my dad and Aiden, being the nosey person he was. He eavesdropped and heard my dad yelling at me about how I should pay more attention so my grades wouldn't go down.

I never heard the end of that conversation but anyway Aiden just brings it up whenever he can. I just look down at my desk without a word "What a loser", I hear him say under his breath while turning to face the front "Quiet down class and listen up".
