The warm skin of my hand slowly touched the cold Metal of the door handle as i hesitantly pushed down to open the door, making a gap large enough for me to slip inside.
I stopped behind the door and looked around. The room had white walls and a wooden floor. The tables weren't exactly straight in their rows, but you could see where they normally sat. My new classmates screamed loudly across the room and threw balls around. They laughed and talked at once. So either the class harmony is completely broken or simply not perfect. I'll probably have to figure that out.
This is my new class, my new school, my new life...
When my mother died, my father and I had to move here.
He didn't tell me this morning that I would be able to do it and that I would definitely get used to everything quickly. It's almost summer holidays and we have a trip to a strange island soon.
I think Borkum is the name.
I hope it doesn't become a huge disaster like my last school trip, where we had to leave early because we were all infected with Corona.
Suddenly I felt something hard on my skull, which broke me out of my thoughts. Confused, I turned to the side and realized that someone had seriously hit me with a ball. I'm sure that before I could say anything, I stopped myself and held myself back.
'Y/n you definitely don't want to make yourself the least popular in the class on the first day and be the new bitch'.
I looked at the floor and thought about something. should I do something? Why isn't the teacher not there? am I in the right class?
I decided to walk out of the classroom again. Just before I opened the door, a hand on my shoulder stopped me.
U turned to the person.
To my surprise there were two girls. Both had brown hair and brown eyes. they were about the same size. They both smiled at me and one girl started talking.
E: Hey, I'm Emma! Are
you the new one?
M: I'm Mia and you really should have thought about leaving sooner. The class looks worse than it actually is. trust me!
Y/n: Um, yeah. Hi! I'm Y/n, nice to meet you!
Before I could say anything else, the door behind me opened and I saw a young woman enter the room. It was probably our class teacher. She ran to the desk and placed her backpack on the chair. Emma and Mia sit down in their seats in the second row and chat some more.
As if rooted to the spot, I stood in front of the class until the teacher came up to me.
Mrs W: Hey Y/n, right? I'm Mrs Wulff
nice that you're here. Tell us something about yourself.
Y/n: Okay?
Mrs. Wulff spoke up and greeted the students so that everyone could hear. Now everyone was sitting in their place and I could see that there were many more girls than boys.
I stood next to Mrs. Wulff and looked around the room. There was total silence until I gathered my courage and started to say something.
Y/n: Um, Hi, I'm Y/n and I moved here because, um, my mother, um, I-I mean my father thought it was nice here and, yeah...
Mrs.W: Okay, then let me introduce myself. So, I'm Mrs. Wulff, your class teacher and I teach English and religion.
Lisandro, would you be so kind as to continue?
L: Yes, I'm Lisandro
M: I'm Marlene
N: I'm Nour
M: I am Muhammed
E: I'm Efe
P: I'm Pierre
N: My name is Nele
S: And me Sarah
L: My name is Lilith
M: I'm Marie
E: My name is Emma
M: My Mia
I: I'm Isalie
N: Nayla
P: I'm Paula
A: Hi, my name is Amelie
G: I'm Greta and the one next to me is Maria
S: I'm Sion and this is Tyler.
G: My name is Gabriel
M: I'm Marian
I looked around, but my eyes were fixed on Gabriel. A boy with orange, blonde hair and blue eyes. Dreamlike eyes. I tried not to stare, but I got lost in his eyes. But suddenly I felt my face getting warmer and my cheeks red.
Before he could see it, I looked at Mrs. Wulff.
Mrs.W: So Y/n, now you know everyone. Please sit next to Mia and Emma at the teaching table!
Y/n: All right!
I sat down next to the two of them and unpacked my notebooks. No matter how often I tried to think of something else, my thoughts always stuck to Gabriel.
