Pour the Ranch

New Begininings

     Wait I'm straight, this isn't right. It took me a second to get back to reality. My mind suddenly became empty. I began to open my mouth and ask for directions until I decided it would make me seem like a loser. After a few seconds of awkwardness the blue haired boy began to speak.
"Hey I'm Josh! I've never seen you before, what's your name?" The voice fit perfectly with his looks.
     Considering the fact that I've spent most of my time here hiding out into my bedroom, that's not a shocker.
"I.... I'm Tyler and I'm new to town." Was the reply that I gave with a shaky voice that was full of uncertainty. Was that the right way to respond? I hope I didn't sound dumb.
     "Well hey nice to meet you! I think we should get to class now. What's your first hour?" This kid seems like a really great guy I thought as I handed over my schedule. Due to sweaty palms it was a bit crumpled but I don't think he noticed. "Hey, we have all but one class together. That's so cool!" Was his reply and than off he went. I foolishly tagged along figuring he may be able to find the classroom.
     Ten minutes had passed and we finally found the english room. It was a small room on the 4th floor. This school wasn't the best and was a bit run down. I had a feeling this was going to be a great year, that is until I walked into the class. Everyone's eyes turned towards us as the teacher came running over with sombreros which she soon placed on our heads. Laughing soon filled the room. I felt my face turn red. I peered over at Josh and noticed he wasn't loving it either.
     "What a bitch" Josh whispered into my ear before we parted ways to our assigned seats. I sat and pondered for the rest of class. Occasionally I glared over at Josh. Once he caught me in the act and gave me a playful wink. He had the cutest expressions. He also seemed to like tapping his pencils on his desk.
     He seemed so happy and cheerful. Why can't I be happy like him? Sitting there in my sombrero, thinking about Josh was not how I thought my first day of senior year would start. I liked it though. Towards the end of class is when it hit me. I think I may actually like Josh.
