The backside

School

Now it's Monday. First day of school and i already don't like it here.  I walked into my first lession of the day. sat down somewhere in the back. Unlike in all those movies, there where only a handful of people in the class. The teacher isn't even here yet. I sit in the back of the class picking my nails and waiting for the time to go by.  Not long after, everybody was in the classroom and the teacher walked in with her bag over her shoulder.After setting her stuff on her desk she introduced me to the class: 'So we have someone joining us today, she just moved here and please be nice to her. Welcome Cynthia to your class from now on.'

Quickly after that she turned around and started talking about last lesson and some op coming assignments and quizzes. While she was talking and writing on the board a very pretty girl walked in. while she was walking to her seat the teacher noticed her coming in late. "Mariana go sit down", Said the teacher as the girl threw her bag on the table in frond of me. The girl had a cropped black top on with a band on it i couldn't identify fast enough, she had baggie pants with some white Nike shoes, or at least they where probably white when she first bought them. She also had very dark red hair, that faded into some brighter red at her ends. Her hair was long and straight and she had some fun hair clips in. I instantly got a friend-crush on her.

 I didn't  have any books yet, and i definitely didn't have someone to talk to. but it looked like everyone else did, because everybody was loud and talking as if no one could hear them. no one sat directly next or in frond of me. It was not that long after the school year has started when i joined this school, its only 2-3 weeks ago, and still everybody had their group. 

Just as the teacher dropped off my books at my table and walked back to her desk, the girl  stood up from her chair and picking up one of her hair clips that fell out her bag earlier. As she turned around to walk back to her seat she noticed me. Instead of sitting down facing the bord and the teacher, she sat in her chair backwards and set her arms on the backrest of  the chair and let her head rest on her crossed arms. She was practically laying down at this point. She stared at me for a bit while i was drawing on my hand out of boredom. I looked back at her and we looked each other in the eyes for a few seconds. "What you drawing there?", she said with a curious look on her face. "i don't really know just some stars and scribbles.", i answered. "Can i see? "she asked me. And before i even answered she already had grabbed my hand. "Whats your name? You're like really pretty yk?",she asked while still analyzing my drawings. "Thanks, my name is Cynthia. You're like extremely gorgeous." i answered with a warm smile. "Btw most people call me Maria, but my actual name i-",she was being cut off my the teacher."Mariana, no talking in class. Go to the office. Be glad i didn't write you up for being late."said the teacher with an angry voice. 

As Maria was packing up her bag, she gave me a look and tilted her head a little bit. "Miss, i need to go to the bathroom, and i forgot something in my locker, can i go really quickly?"i asked as Maria was walking out.  "Fine, but make it quick and be back in 10 minutes.". She gave me the hall pass and i quickly went to the direction Maria went. She was waiting outside the classroom for me and when we where far enough from the classroom we giggled and began talking softly.

She told me about all the teachers and where my classes for the day are. She told me about some people to look out for and some people to befriend, all while walking through the hallway. She has lunch a different time then me so she told me to just sit somewhere  with not many people and told me not too worry to much. As we passed a clock in the hallway we realized  15 minutes had passed. So she rushed me back to English class while she went the other way. As i walked back in the class, the teacher asked me where i was for that long. "I couldn't find my locker, and then i forgot which class i was in."i answered as an lame excuse and sat down. I think the teacher believed me  because she just continues to talk while signing to me to sit down. 

The rest of the day was pretty boring. Didn't have many lessions with Maria. Sat in the bathrooms during lunch because the cafeteria was packed up  with kids. And the busride home was loud and annoying. Next time i'll be wearing headphones for sure.
