"Hello"

Felicia's P.O.V:

Jordan's been giving me a tour around this school for about an hour now, and we've only covered up HALF of the place so far. It was indeed ginormous, and I had to find out the most boring way possible- but at least I wasn't alone, and a bonus point for having Jordan giving me the tour. I haven't felt this way about anyone for a long time, and I now have my first high school crush walking along with me in the school hallways babbling about things that I know I won't really be able to remember...sadly. Sorry about that, Jordan.

"So, how's the school like so far, Felicia?" The way he said my name just got me out of my boredom

So, how was this school so far?

"This school is interesting, actually."

"Really? How so?"

"Well, this school is big enough for me to explore; compare it to exploring an underground cave."

"Wow, that's an awesome comparison." He grinned, "Yeah, I agree with you. It was boring the first time I came here, too." we stopped walking,

"Wanna run?"

"What if I say no? And where do we go? What if we get in trouble?"

"Then we'll both have to suffer this boring situation, and wherever we want, like when were tired. Also, I'll take the blame." He raised his brow, waiting for my response

I thought about it for probably 3 weeks, until I took a deep breath, told him "Race you to 'wherever'!" and just ran

He was on my tail, and we were both laughing as we ran. I'm pretty sure 'no running in the hallways' is a school rule, but here I am, running around with the school prefect, missing classes. You know, I could have somehow found the classroom that I needed to be in so that I could just attend my class because, I mean c'mon, but then I decided not to. I don't know why.

We turned dangerous corners, left and right, and I focused on how the world looked as I ran- I was athletic so I wasn't tired- and I liked it; things were a little blurry, we were fast, the outside was pretty too- we could see since a few hallways were open. I've heard heavy breathing behind me a few times, it's only now I stop to see Jordan had slowed his pace a few seconds ago and used his arms as something to hold him up as they were on his knees. He was tired. And I was pretty fast; he was at the start of the hallway, I was nearly to the end.

"You're really fast for a cute little midget." He laughed as I reached him

I patted his back, "Yeah, well, short people are really fast. So beware, giants." I joked

"Quick question," He sat up straight, his breathing fine

"What is it?"

"Are cute little midget's like you strong?" he smiled ever so widely his pearly whites beautifully shown, blinding me.

Exaggerated, I know.

"There is only one way to find out...but I'm too tired to even try," I smiled

"Yeah, but it was worth it- sorry if I'm not really as entertaining when it comes to these things." He chuckled awkwardly

"Nah, it's cool. You're cool." I reassured, then paused, "We have a problem,"

"Oh? What? Where?"

"Here," I pointed to my growling stomach

"Running makes me hungry, and tired. And I know I should go to classes now but..." I grimaced

"Why not just be okay with having a rule-breaking first day at school?"

"It's not what I usually do..."
