Ryan’s POV

I slowly walked inside the classroom. I am so nervous. What if they don’t like me? What if teacher doesn’t like me? What if I do something embarrassing? What if no one wants to be my friend? What if they make fun of me? What if they- no no I can’t think that. Everything is going to be okay. I am good. I took a deep breath like Alex told me and let it go.

When I reached the teacher she smiled softly at me which helped me relaxed a little. I looked behind me towards the door and Alex and others were still standing there. That made me happy. Alex looked at me and blew me a kiss before waving bye so did the others.

I turned back to the teacher and looked around the class. There were so many students well not that many only 15 but in my mind that was a lot. They all were looking at me. “Hello dear, you must be Ryan. I’m Miss Brenda. Let’s introduce you to the class yeah?” She asked I nodded and looked towards the class as she started. “Good morning class. Today we have a new student Ryan here. I hope you would help him with the previous work.” She said to the class with a warm smile. I looked around the class and saw that on each table there were 4 students except for one.

“Now Ryan why don’t you go and take a seat near the window at the back.” Miss Brenda said. I nodded and moved towards the seat. On that table there were two girls and one boy. I took the seat on the only sit available which was besides a pretty girl. She had chocolate colour skin. Her hair was black curly hair. I couldn’t see her eyes as her face was down and she was scribbling something. I looked at what she was doing and saw her drawing a butterfly and it was so good.

I heard giggling from in front of me and the girl with blonde hair and hazel eyes looking at me. Besides her was the boy with the same hair color but with dark brown eyes. They both were talking and giggling about something while looking at the pretty girl beside me. I titled my head a little and that’s when the girl in front of me noticed me looking at her. Her cheeks turned pink but she still introduced herself, “Hi, I’m Leslie and this my brother Blaze.” She said smiling and I nodded at her and the boy beside her. I looked to my right at the beautiful girl. Hoping to hear her voice. I don’t know why.

When I didn’t get any reaction I introduced myself, “I’m Ryan Johnson.” I said praying she looks at me and my wish was granted. She looked at me with shock but so did the other two who gasped. But ignored that as saw the eyes of the pretty girl beside me. Her eyes where dark blue. The prettiest eyes I have ever seen. “You are Alexandria Johnson’s brother?” The boy, Blaze, in front of me whispered but I still ignored her.

I was still looking at the pretty girl beside me. Before I know I blurted out, “You are so pretty.” I felt my cheeks turn red. The girl looked at me shocked but quickly looked away when the girl, Leslie, in front of me said again. “No Ryan, she is the most ugly girl in the class. You have to stay away from her. I heard her father left her because he didn’t loved her.” I felt her stiffen beside me and I narrowed my eyes at Leslie. “So what? That doesn’t mean I couldn’t talk to her. I can talk to anyone I want and you don’t have any say in it. Plus she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.” I said with blank face. I could feel the pretty girl look at me with big eye.

Leslie looked angry and she glared at pretty girl. “Watch how you talk to my sister Ryan.” Blaze said as he whispered shouted. Before I could reply, Miss Brenda came to our table with some paper. It was maths paper with multiplication and division sums. I already knew the answers so I quickly finished it. I looked to my right and saw pretty girl was struggling with the last one so I tried to help. “Hey, you have to first do this and then divide, pretty girl.” She looked at me with confusion.

“What?” I asked. “Why are you talking to me?”. Her voice was so sweet. This just confirmed I’m going to befriend her no matter what. “Why not? Do you want me to stop pretty girl?”. I asked tilting my head a bit. Hoping she doesn’t stop talking. She again looked away from me and looked down, “You heard Leslie. You should stop talking to me.” I looked at her. “Do you want me too?” I asked. She shrugged her shoulders. “Pretty girl, I’m not going to do that. You are friend now.” I said determined. She looked at me with surprise.

“I’m your friend? I never had friends.” She muttered last part. “Well now you do.” I shrugged and smiled at her. “Really!!” She smiled a big smile. I nodded eagerly. “Yes, pretty girl.” I said. She tilted her in confusion, “My name is Charlie not pretty girl.” I grinned at least now I know her name. “Ok pretty girl.” I teased. She shy away.

After our work was completed Miss Brenda gave us a free time. Me and Charlie talked and played games together all the while feeling Leslie’s eyes on us. I just rolled my eyes her but focused on Charlie and hearing her talk and laugh. She really is pretty.
