I groaned at I sat up rubbing my eyes with my hands. Today was my first day at this new sucky school. As I got up and went to the bathroom I stood in front of the mirror. I looked so tired, and I felt so groggy. I probably wasn't gonna be in a good mood today. I did my usual bathroom routine, walking up to my bedroom I grabbed my clothes and quickly changed.

I sat at my vanity and did a little makeup before putting on my glasses, and putting on my shoes. This morning felt different from the mornings in California. I would always do the same routine so I don't know what something felt so weird. Maybe it was this house? This town? I didn't know. I grabbed my backpack and swung it over my shoulder as I went down stairs to the kitchen. I saw mamas car wasn't in the driveway so she must have left. I had about an hr left before I had to head to school so I sat on the couch and watched TV for a little.

I exited out my front door and walked down the steps of my house. Walking down the sidewalk it felt so eerie outside. I kinda liked it that way because it soothed my nerves. I was kinda nervous about going to a new school. For some reason I started thinking a out Patrick. What happened last night was confusing. I wanted more but I was so confused because we had just met yesterday? There's no way he wasn't trying to get me in bed. He was kinda hot don't get me wrong. It just felt strange. I had finally reached my school and as I walked up to it I saw the Bowers gang not to far away. They were all looking at me and Patrick just looked at me with a smirk. I just looked away and continued walking. "Sylvia!" I turned my head at the voice and saw Beverly waving me over. I smiled at her and walked over. She smiled back at me and gave me a quick hug. "Hey Beverly." I said hugging her back. "Can I talk to you about something? Something happened last night." I asked her because I wanted to tell her about Patrick. "Yeah sure what's up Sylvie?" Beverly replied giving me a light smile. "So last night while I was walking home when I heard someone walking behind me and I turned around I saw it was Patrick and he said he wanted to show me something and pulled me into the woods with him-" "Patrick Hockstetter took you with him in the woods?" Beverly whisper yelled. "Yes now shut up and let me finish. Anyway I told him to stop and then he pushed me into a tree and kissed me and then he continued walking and some minutes later we showed up at a junkyard with a fridge. He told me to open the fridge and when I did there were dead animals in it and I know it's weird but I wasn't dazed by it and he said he could walk me home so I let him and when we got to my house he wanted to hangout but I said no and then for some reason I gave in and then when we were in my room we started making out, things got a little heated but I stopped and told him he needed to leave. The last thing he said was that he wasn't trying to get into my pants." I said taking a deep breath. I had said that whole thing fast without even taking a breath. Beverly just looked at me with her mouth open. "Patrick is a psycho. He's probably lying to you, he will hurt you Sylvie trust me. He doesn't go soft for anyone." I put my hand on my arm. "I've only been in this town for a day and I already made out with someone. But you can't tell anyone Bev." I said looking everywhere but her eyes. I felt my cheeks heat up at the thought of what would have happened if I didn't stop out makeout session last night. "I promise Sylvie. Ill keep your little secret." She smiled at me. We heard the bell ring and so we headed out separate ways into the school.

"Well Ms. Francis here is your schedule." The principal said handing my a piece of paper. "Thanks. I'll see myself out now." I said smiling. He gave me a nod and I turned around exiting the office. I looked at my first period, Science. I was kinda a science nerd so I wasn't that upset. It took me a few minutes to find it but I eventually found the class.

I had just skipped lunch since I wasn't hungry. So far I hadn't bumped into the Bowers gang, but I did see Victor a few times although he paid no attention to me. I was walking to my 4th period (maths) now, I entered the classroom. "You must be the new student, Sylvia Francis?" The teacher said. "𝒀𝒆𝒔." I replied and she told me to go sit at one of the open seats. After about 10 minutes I saw the door open and in came Patrick Hockstetter. I tried to avoid looking at him and prayed he wouldn't sit in the seat next to me. "Your late Mr. Hockstetter. Go take a seat." I noticed he started to walk closer and closer to me, eventually sitting at the desk closest to mine. I kept looking forward, trying to avoid eye contact with him. "Tryna avoid me princess? You might regret that later." I heard him whisper to me. He scooted his desk uncomfortably close to mine, to the point he was sitting RIGHT next to me. We were also in the very back corner of the room which made this situation even worse. "Patrick leave me alone.Last night meant nothing." I whispered back. I felt his hand go up my thigh. I swatted his hand away and he looked at me. I looked back at him with a glare and he just smirked. When class was over he told me that I would pay for it after school. I was actually kind of scared now because I had no idea what he would do. I quickly put my stuff back in my bag and got out of the class. School soon ended and I met up with Beverly in the bathroom. She told me that everyone was talking about how Patrick was staring at me during 4th period. "Oh my god stop this is so embarrassing." "I really think you should try and stay away from him Sylvia." She said putting her hand on my shoulder. "I know. During 4th period he told me I would pay for it after school. I'm actually kinda scared now." She look at at me with a worried face then told me to be super careful and hurry when walking home. She couldn't walk with me because we lived on the opposite sides of town. "I will, thanks Bev. See you tomorrow if I don't get murdered." I chuckled as we went out seperate ways. I was so nervous to walk home I just wanted to disappear right then and there.
