I walked into my new school feeling more nervous than ever. I miss my old school, i miss how things used to be. I wish I would've just kept my damn mouth shut. I walk down the hall admiring the decorated walls and papers that plaster the walls. Most about the upcoming dance. I'm not going, why would i? Id just sit in the corner watching everyone else dance and have fun with their friends. That does not sound like a good time.
I knock onto the principal's office door, I hear a silent "come in." I pushed the slightly heavy door open. I shut it behind me and sat in the chair that sits in front of the desk. The man behind the desk was young, like really young. He had a focused look on his face.
"Hi im principle smith, you must be edward." he said looking away from the papers he was just looking at.
"It's eddie." I said a little more annoyed than I meant to.
"Right eddie. Here's your schedule." he handed me a folded paper, i didn't look at it. I just gave him a slight nod. "Our school has a lot of after school clubs and sports teams you can join, we also have two bands that are competing on who will be playing at the winter formal coming up. My girlfriend's nephew plays in one of them." he smiled at me.
"That's cool, but I don't think I'll be interested in that." I gave a slight smile.
"That's alright. I read your file and it said you ran track, and you were one of the best on the team and we could really use you. If that's something you wanted of course."
"I'll check it out."
"Okay i'll let you leave and get to your home room class." he smiled. I got up to leave and walked to the door. "Oh and could you please tell Richie Tozier he can come in here. He should be waiting just outside, he has black curly hair, and glasses, hes most likely wearing a hawaiian shirt."
"Okay." I said, opening the heavy door. I looked to my right not seeing this "richie" guy, I turned to my left and almost spotted him immediately. He had his head down looking at his phone, I walked up to him, my hands starting to feel clammy. "Are you richie?" I asked, my throat becoming dry. He looked up at me and my heart skipped a beat.
"That I am." he smiled. He put his phone down and flipped his hair out from underneath his glasses. His eyes were beautiful. He was beautiful. "And who are you hot stuff?" he asked.
"Mr. Smith said you can go in." I rolled my eyes and turned to walk away.
"Wait, I didn't get your name." he yelled after me.
"I wonder why." I said turning around. "Oh right I didn't tell you." I turned back around and continued walking. I unfolded the schedule Mr. Smith gave me to look for my home room class.
"Finally." I said to myself after walking the halls for almost ten minutes. This place is like a maze. I opened the door and walked inside.
"Hi and you are?" the teacher asked me. I walked over to her desk feeling everyone's eyes on me. I felt the hairs on my neck stand up.
"Hi I'm Eddie Kasbrak, I'm new." I handed the teacher my schedule and she smiled at me.
"Hi, I miss Riley, you can go and sit next to Stan over there. I was just telling the class about the dance when tickets will start being sold." She handed me my schedule back and I started walking to the back of the class. I sat down in my seat. I gave Stan a small smile, which he returned. Well that was nice. I thought to myself.
After about ten minutes the bell rang and i was off to my first hour, which i was also late for because again this place is like a fucking maze. I knocked on the locked door. I saw the teacher walk over to open the door. I hand her my schedule. She told me to sit with a redhead and brunette boy.
The redhead smiled at me and so did the brunette but he went back to looking at his text book. "Hi im beverly." she smiled.
"Eddie." I said back.
"This is Ben, my boyfriend." she smiled. "Do you have a boyfriend?" she asked.
"Uh, I'm not gay." I lied. I am but the last time I told someone that I had to move. I'm not making that mistake again.
"Well, do you have a girlfriend?" she asked.
"No." I said bluntly.
"Omg i love your phone case?" she said picking up my phone and staring at it. "Where'd you get it?" she asked.
"Beverly stop pestering the poor boy." ben look up from beverly and took my phone for her and set it down. "I'm sorry about her, she gets excited about new people."
"It's okay. And I just got it from the dollar store but I painted it." I told her.
"Oh my god you should totally make me one too. I love the little music notes on it."
"Thank you. And yeah of course I'd love to." i smiled
The bell finally rang, I packed my backpack and walked to my locker which was coincidentally right next to Beverlys. I started putting the text book I already used back in and grabbing new ones for my last three periods.
"Hey Eddie, would you like to join us and our friend for lunch?" she asked shutting her locker she looked at ben and then me.
I shut my locker and thought it over, "I wouldn't want to intrude." I asked, giving her a soft smile.
"Nonsense. We love meeting new people and would love to have you join us. If you decide you want to, we'll be in the back of the cafe next to the back doors." she smiled before grabbing ben's hand, "bye" she gave me a small wave before walking away with her boyfriend.
