You can change me

Chapter 7

The breakfast could've been good, there was a large buffet with everything i could think of like all kinds of fruits, cereal, joghurt, pancakes and boiled or fried eggs and everything looked so delicious, but I was too excited and also anxious for my very first day and the classes. I just sat next to Lilian, Olivia and Samantha and watched them eating their breakfast. >> How is it possible that you're so chill? << I asked. >> You know that I've already been here for half a year and the other girls love school and socializing. << Lilian answered.

Olivia nodded and said: >> Ha ha yes, I just love meeting new people and talk to them during class. You know, you can have the best and most interesting conversations during math and physics class while the teacher is talking about some crap which apparently should be logical but, surprise, it isn't! << She laughed.

And now I'm in class, I'm sitting in the second row from the front next to the window, my toes tapping nervously on the dark-grey, really dirty floor. I hear my classmates talking and giggling, showing each other funny videos on their phones or playing some games on a sheet of paper, I am familiar with these games, I played most of them with my friends too, but that was in middle school where I was probably like 12 years old, not a grown up like they are.

They all seem to know each other good, maybe from high- or middleschool. I feel alone, especially because all my friends have different courses now, I'm the only one who chose biology ll, and I start to regret my decision because I feel a little bit of loneliness in my stomach and a weird gut feeling, I hope this will get better soon.

As I'm thinking about yesterday and how nice it was hanging out with the girls and hearing the gossip about my new school, I hear a loud sound directly next to me. It sounds like a bomb or anything like that. I flinch, seeing a blonde boy sitting down on the seat next to me. Seems like he just threw his books on the table which caused the loud noise. Without any respect.

>> Wanna keep staring? << He asks me and I look him directly in the eye as I'm saying:
>> You're throwing the books on the table very loudly and now act surprised that people heard it? <<
He laughs, but not in a nice way.
>> Seems like you're the only one bothered by my 'loud and annoying' noise, if that's such a problem to you that you're pissed for the rest of the day, go back to kindergarten! <<

>> Fuck you, << I mumble under my breath, thinking he can't hear me. >> Great idea, I'll do it later. << He replied dry, his voice sarcastically. I sigh. How can a person be that annoying? And why is the last free seat next to me? I'm convinced he'll bother me for the next of the semester.

My gaze again turns towards the window, i botice a single leaf falling down from the tree, swinging around in the soft wind and reaching the ground.

>> Good morning students! Welcome to your first day of college, I really hope you'll have a great time here! << My thoughts got interrupted by the voice of a woman, she has dark blonde hair which is braided into a ponytail perfectly, no strand is out of place. She wears violet pants and a matching violet blazer with a crème blouse. She seems strict but nice.

I listen carefully as she continues:
>>I'm Mrs. Bailey, your main teacher and with that I will organize trips, events and parties especially for this course and if you have any problem or issue, you can feel free to come to me and talk, I'll always be there to listen and help! Our first class, as you can see on your schedule which should be in your folder, is biology, and our first topic to discuss will be "The science behind drug addiction" because, as you all might have already heard or even noticed yourself, even though there are strict rules at this school which prohibit the consumption, trade and possession of any kind of drugs like alcohol, weed or cigarettes, some people still consume drugs in secret corners or at night. <<

I immediately have to think about Thea again and what the girl told me, but I wipe the thought away and put my attention back on our teacher.
>>.. And every single one of you should informed and conscious about the consequences of drug consumption for your body and health, and that's why the principal decided that this would ve our perfect first topic. <<

She ends her speech and I hear a little, wicked laugh from next to me. It's the rude boy and it seems like the teacher heard it too.
>> Would you like to add anything, Jayden? <<
She calmly asks him, but he ignores her.
>> I assume you don't. So, let's move on. Who can name a few types of different drugs for me? <<

While my classmates name drugs i didn't even know existed until this moment, I think about the boy, Jayden. Why is he so rude? And why was he so mean to me, I didn't even do anything wrong to him or insult him, right? Some people are simply evil, doesn't matter who they're talking to and about what, they always have something bad to say and enjoy being cruel and making other feel bad or guilty.

If this world I'm living in would be a movie or anything just like that, he would probably be the villain in the story, but not because he has a legit and understandable motive, no, just because he can't stand himself and his own personality, that's why he has to make others feel less than himself.

I hope this is the only course I have with Jayden, otherwise it will probably drive me mad.

Right when I stand up and want to leave the class, I hear our teacher saying: >> Have a nice first day, students! Tomorrow we'll have a little quiz as a review of this period. If you payed attention this will be no problem and for the others - study. <<

With these words, she leaves the room. That's what Lilian meant with many quizzes and homework. Of course I didn't pay attention, I was too busy thinking about Jayden. He'll destroy my grade, now i hate hime even more. With a sigh, I walk out of class.
