Love at First Sight

Chapter 2

"Oh no,i'm going to be late."

I was speeding down the hallway for next class which was maths. I clutched to my books for dear life from falling off my hands. When i arrived,all eyes stared at me.

"Miss Roberts" Mr William spoke sarcastically.

"I'm so sorry. I...." I was stopped halfway at my sentence by him.

"Today is your lucky day because you just got your first warning. Two more strikes and you'll be in detention." He took in a deep breath and then said, "You could take your seat before i change my mind."

I whispered "thank you" before entering the class. The front row was taken and where i loved to stay. I had to walk to the back where all the troublemakers are. The bad boys,jocks,you name it. I took a seat next to a new kid. He wore a black hoodie with blue jeans complementing it. He seems like he didn't have a damn care for the class.

I decided to speak to him by greeting him with a hand. "Hi,i'm Isabella. You new here ?"

"Oh yeah. I'm Jayden and nice to meet you." He said,chuckling.

"Sure" I retrieved my hand back to myself since he clearly didn't want to shake it. "If you seem lost in anything by chance like schoolwork or can't find your to the gym or even broke your leg...." I said jokingly. "I will gladly help you on it,okay ?"

"No thanks,i'm good. You do this a lot,right ?"

"Do what exactly ?"

"Try to make friends with new people to like you or something"

I gestured "Pfft no i just...like being nice and all" I smiled playing it cool and fun.

"Okay cool" He smacked his lips together and turned to the front.

Wow,that was the most awkward and weird conversation of my life. Looks like life keeps throwing dust into my way. One moment you like a boy and the next,they end up being "cool" like he said or less interested. "Dang it" I thought giving myself a mental hit on my forehead. I keep on spoiling my chances with boys. Sometimes i think love will never find a place in my heart despite how smart,beautiful and funny i am.

"Isabella,please focus on the board."

"Huh....what....i'm focused,sir" I slouched back on my seat.

Mr Williams clapped his hands. "Okay,would you like to come up to the board to solve this question ?" He said, pointing to the board.

I blinked severally while staring at the board. "Oh sorry sir,i cannot remember how to solve it but i still know it." I was still trying to justify despite how i embarrassed myself.

"Anyone,who like to give it a try ?"

It was a question based on calculus. I only knew the answer but could not remember the process. Funny enough,i solved this question this morning before coming to school. My brain just went to freeze zone.

The class was dead silent. It looked like i disappointed the class once again.

"Okay,mov..."

Jayden raised his hand. "I would like to try it."

People were whispering from ear to ear and tapping each other like "what-does-he even-know" or "new-kid-looks-hot".

A girl in front of me said,"he looks like a fresh tasty meal to eat". Then she bit her tongue with a smirk. Her friend smiled in agreement.

I just rolled my eyes to get the nasty thought of that. Some girls kept looking at him like he's some Greek God. Yeah,i'm a book geek blah,blah,blah.

"So...."
