I walk into my biology classroom and scan the room for an empty seat. I see an empty chair next to someone who's sleeping. It's the only empty seat so I don't have much of a choice. I sit down and shove my backpack under my desk just as the teacher walks into the room.
"Good morning, class" She says with a big smile on her face
"Morning, Mrs. Smith" The class responds
Mrs. Smith looks around the room, noticing me almost immediately.
"Ah! I see our new student is here. Would you like to introduce yourself?" She asks me
"I'm good, thanks." I respond flatly
"Would you like me to do it?" She asks
I shrug my shoulders in response
"Well, this is Y/N and this is her first day here. Please make her feel welcome." She announces loudly to the whole class
I want to sink into the ground. There can't be anything worse than this.
"Now, please open your textbooks to page 24." Mrs. Smith demands
I raise my hand reluctantly
"Yes, Y/N?" Mrs. Smith says
"I- I don't have a textbook." I say quietly
"Right, sorry. However I don't have an extra one at the moment, you'll have to share with whoever is sitting next to you" She responds
I nod my head in agreement
The person next to me is still sleeping, so I'm not really sure what to do. I look around and accidentally make eye contact with Mrs. Smith
"Billie. Up" She says sternly, looking at them
So it's a boy..
"Y/N please poke her." Mrs. Smith asks me
Her? Now I'm confused.. But I do as she says and I poke whoever is under that hood. They respond with a groan before getting their head up from the desk. As I see her it's like the world stops spinning for a minute. She's so pretty. Dark silky hair, blue ocean eyes and pink plump lips.
"What are you looking at, new girl" She asks
"Oh uh- I- I'm sorry I was just.." I stutter
"You were just what?" She interrupts
I raise my hand
"May I go to the bathroom?" I ask Mrs. Smith
She nods in response.
I quickly pull my backpack out from under my desk and walk towards the door. God that was embarrassing.. I close the classroom door behind me, only now realizing that I have no idea where the bathrooms are. I stand there for a minute, debating whether or not I should just go home or if I should attempt to find the bathrooms. My thoughts get interrupted by a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and there she is. Billie.
