I've been staring at myself in the mirrors for a total of 15 seconds, before my mom clears her throat to get my attention. I snapped my head in her direction before shaking my head, ridding it of all 'what if's'.
I looked at her for a moment before finally telling her the song I wanted. I stand there waiting for my mom to find the song. Eventually 'Do I Wanna Know?' by Arctic Monkeys begins to play.
The moment the song starts, I close my eyes and take a couple deep breaths before I begin to move.
I move all around the space given to me. I listen and feel the music coursing through my body. I allow myself to loosen and flow through the room with as much ease required for the song.
Finally the song ends and I stop moving. Closing my eyes, I stop and gather my thoughts. By the time I opened my eyes, I had forgotten there were other people in the room.
I hunch over, my hands on my knees still trying to catch my breath. Once I've gotten a hold of my breathing, I finally open my eyes and look up.
The moment my eyes hit the mirror a wave of embarrassment hit me. Everyone was just standing there. Some with wide eyes, some with slack jaws, others are smirking. There is one girl who is glaring at me like she actually wants to kill me. I mean one thing I have noticed is that everyone here is a little odd. Like something about them is off but she looks like she actually wants to like... bite my head off.
My eyes continue to shift over the group of students. I look further to my left and I see the two girls that made eye contact with me before class have huge grins on their faces.
My eyes lift behind them and I see the brown haired boy looking at me with a sweet smile on his face, the blond haired boy's jaw might have actually fell through the floor, and the black haired boy is just staring blankly at me. He's kinda giving me Edward vibes, he's squinting at me like he's trying to read my mind.
I can't really tell his reaction because his hair is covering his eyes but I think I can see a slight smirk on his lips. I'm not too sure and I don't look at him long enough to figure it out.
As I'm shifting my gaze back towards my mom, my eyes shift past the girl from earlier. Who by the way is still glaring at me. What the hell is wrong with her?
I shook my head, finally I turned back to look at my mom, who was grinning at me like a Cheshire cat. She walks over to me with the most mischievous look in her eye.
"Why do you keep looking at me like that?" I asked, kinda scared for my life right now.
"Oh nothing, it's your first day, but have you talked to anyone before I got here or anything?" She asked me, still grinning like she just stole a child's lollipop.
"Uhm... no. Why?" I asked with caution.
"No reasons, just saw you staring at a couple people just now." Now she's looking at me like she knows something I don't.
"It was nothing really. I made eye contact with that group over there before you came barreling into the room. That's it." I explain with a shrug.
"Okay." Is all she says. She doesn't press for more answers, or ask me if I'm sure a million times. She just smiles at me and shakes her head.
"Hey! Guys, come over here for a minute." My mom calls the group. They all look up and make their way over to us. By this time mom had dismissed the class and it was only them and a couple other people, including little miss glares a lot.
While they make their way over to us, people have been coming up to us telling me how amazing I did and giving me compliments. Once they make it over, the black haired girl is the first to speak. "Hey Arella. How are you?" the girl asked with so much excitement.
"I'm good kell, thank you." She replies with a smile. "Killian" She says to the girl, Kell's brother. "Hey, Arella." He replies.
As soon as he spoke, I'm pretty sure my jaw hit the ground. His voice was so deep, but not, the force wanna be bad boy deep. He has a natural rasp to his voice, and the way he speaks is so smooth.
I immediately snap myself back to the present before I start over analyzing everything.
"This is Aelia, my third daughter. I'm sorry it took so long for you guys to meet. But with everything, it got a little complicated." Mom says to them.
Kell begins to speak again. "It's really nice to meet you Aelia, I'm Kelliana, but everyone calls me Kell. This is my brother Killian, and these are our friends. Terra, Lennox, and Noah." She points and introduces everyone.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you." I say awkwardly looking down at my feet shifting between left and right.
"We saw you earlier, I knew you looked like someone we knew but I couldn't put my finger on it, guess we know now." She says with a smile.
All I can do is smile. Yeah I'm aware, I am painfully awkward but what do you want from me, if anxiety was a person it would be me. "Uhh yeah, my sisters and I get told we're a carbon copy of her." I let out a nervous laugh.
"Oh yeah, Celia and Della. Omg I can't wait to meet them as well." Kellianna sounds really excited. "I'm so excited to have finally met you guys. My mom has talked about her best friend since childhood since we were younger and I've always wanted to meet you guys." She continues.
"Well, I hope I'm what you imagined." I finish looking down at my feet.
"Oh, you're even prettier than I imagined. And much cooler." She talks as if she knows me, but strangely enough it's a little comforting.
"Anyways, we have to get going, but I can't wait to get to know you. We are all really excited. Maybe we can hang out later this week, get to know each other. All of us of course. Here, let's give each other our numbers." We swap phones and exchange numbers.
"Uhm... Yeah, that sounds cool. I'll talk to you later I guess." I tell her with a smile.
She looks at me with a huge smile before hugging me and walking away. The others say goodbye before following after her, but as I look straight ahead, I see little miss glares a lot running up to Killian and gripping onto his arm before following them out the door.
I turn towards my mom, narrowing my eyes before turning back, grabbing my stuff and heading towards the door. Before I leave though, I turn around and make eye contact with my mom again. All we can do is smile before I speak.
"Thanks a lot for that today mom. It was embarrassing as hell, but I know you did it for a reason. I'll see you at home, love you."
She stops me once more, before I can step through the door. "I love you too sweetheart. Also I'm going to be home late, I'm going out to meet up with Kelliana and Killian's mom, Mell. So you and the other two have full control over what you want to eat tonight." She smiles at me, but also gives me a warning look that screams 'don't ruin the kitchen'.
Before I can fully walk out the door, she stops me one more time. "OH! I almost forgot, when I get home your sisters and I need to speak to you." She sounds serious this time, I hope it's nothing to do with dad.
All I do is nod my head before speaking. "Alright. I'll see you later mom." I finally leave the building and make my way to my car, still thinking about what mom wants to talk to me about later.
