Lonely

Chapter one

Grace's P.O.V.

I stepped into my first period class. Uhg it was English. The first day at my new school my first class had to be English! I'm an 11th-grader in high school. I just moved from New York to Florida. And already my first day was ruined by stupid English class! My English teacher Mrs. Ross, handed me a book, Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. She hollered out, class alright everybody get with your partners it's time to read. Since it was halfway through the year everybody already had their partner. Mrs. Ross pointed to an empty seat in the back of the room to a muscular brown haired boy with green eyes. She told me I would be his partner for the rest of the year. I walked over to the desk in the back corner and slung my bag over the chair. When I sat down the boy turned to me. He said "hey I'm Jason my friends call me Jace." "uhh hi... I'm Grace". I replied. Mrs. Ross silents the class." For class today you will read to your partner, divide the reading between your selves equally. "We left off on chapter 14 so get to it." She told the class. With that she walked back to her desk and started reading her own book, leaving the class to Their work.

Jace turned to me"So you want to read first?"He said to me in his low husky voice. With that my heart sped up,my palms got sweaty and I started to shake. I began to stutter "Uh...umm..uh-"He cut me off

"What's the matter you can't read or something?"he said with a chuckle. A couple of his friends looked over and chuckled too.

I began to panic. This can't be happening I thought."I'm... It's not that at all!"I quickly choked out.

"Jeez calm down, I'm just kidding around. You act like it's true or something"

"Oh right sorry, it's just that I forgot my glasses today"I replied.

I internally cursed myself for saying that, but it was the best excuse I could come up with on the spot.

"Oh alright I guess I'll just read for today" He said while staring directly into my mud brown eyes With his mesmerizing Green ones.

"Um okay" I said while opening my book to the correct page.

He read until about half into the class when the teacher stood up and walked towards us. She walked up to me and handed me a piece of paper. " Grace, this is your schedule for the rest of the day."

"Thanks"I told her and with that she walked away.

I slipped the schedule into my binder and turned to Jace. "So Grace what's your number?"Jace said.

"Um what?" I said confused

"You know to your phone, the thing you text with ?" He said sarcastically.

" Why?" I asked

"Weren't you paying attention?"He asked. "We have to read chapters 17-37 by Monday".

"Oh right."I Quickly scribble my number On a Sticky note and hand it to him.

" Alright I'll text you after school" he said

"K "I replied. He slammed his book and my daze I heard the bell ring.

He stood up and offered me his hand. I get on my feet quickly.

"What your next class?"Jace Asked

"Art" I replied.

"Cool" he said "Me and some of my buddies have that class with you can sit with us."

He walked me to art. As soon as we walked in the room, a bunch of guys surrounded Jace leaving me standing in the doorway alone. I got many glares from girls who saw us walk in together. A young looking man, Who I assumed was the art teacher walked towards me. " Hi im Mr. Loft, Ill be your art teacher for the remainder of the year. Please introduce yourself to the class and take a seat anywhere you'd like." he told me. I quickly said to the class"Hi I'm Grace"and glanced around the room to look for a seat. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jace waveing me over. He was sitting with a group of guys. I walked over And took the empty stool next to him. "Hey" I said as I sat down. He introduced me to everyone around the Small table. "This is Connor he said pointing to a handsome looking blonde haired boy, Chase, a boy with jet black hair and almost black eyes, Aaron, a thin boy with dirty blond currles and Andy,a boy with piercing blue eyes and blond hair.
