I woke up the next morning stressed about school starting. I was worried about the school and how I would be treated.
I turned over and saw Ashlyn dancing around the room. I watched her, mesmerized by her movements.
I left her be and changed into jeans and a hoodie, making sure I put my school earplugs in that were stronger and fixed my hair into two braids like Ashlyn's.
She smiled at me as she continue dancing. There was a knock on our door and I sat there finishing my hair as Mike walked in. "Girls the bus is down the street.." he says eyeing us both.
Ashlyn trips on her own feet and falls to the floor as me and her dad look over at her and laugh. "No but seriously the bus is here." Her dad says through his chuckles,
"Shit I'm not ready!" Ashlyn says as she runs around trying to grab things. I grab my backpack and head down the stairs.
"There's coffee for you girls on the table" her dad yells down as Ashlyn flys me throwing on her boots.
I slip on my airforces and grab our coffee as the bus pulls up. Ashlyn runs out along with her mom. "Bye aunt Emma!" I yell at her as she jumps in her car.
I look at Ashlyn as she matches my pace. We get on the bus together and we look for an empty seat.
I spot two boys sitting, well one of them isn't exactly sitting. The blonde one is pointing and smiling at our house while the dark haired one is holding him back.
I can see Ashlyn is also looking at him as he looks over at us. We make eye contact. "Shit" I mutter as I feel Ashlyn tense up.
"Don't talk to us, don't talk to us." I think as we go and sit in the only available seat right infront of them. I sit on the window side and try to look out the window before I get startled by him.
"Hi." He says as he looms over me and locks eyes with me. Ashlyn just looks from me to the boy.
"Is that your guys house?" He asks us as he looks from me to Ashlyn. "And what is up with the whole 'bus graveyard' thing" he asks.
"Yes it is our house and it's just a junkyard with buses." Ashlyn answers as she looks at me and then him.
"Thats it, shit I wanted some paranormal shit." He answers as I look over and stare at Ashlyn. But she just looks at me confused.
"Did she not remember last night..." I think as I continue staring at her but I just shake it off and lean against the window as I watch the scenery pass by.
Silence is what follows and just as I'm about to go and pick up my phone he says "I'm Aiden, and that's my cousin Ben." He says pointing to the dark haired boy. "We just moved here a week ago from some random town! And oh we live a house down from you.. so we should hangout often." He says.
"Woah does this boy ever stop talking..." I think as my gaze is still locked on his. I look at Ashlyn and she looks back at me before taking initiative.
"Sorry nothing personal but we've had a lot going on and are tired, so we're not in a conversation mood." She says, setting the line firm and square. But of course this boy pushes it.
He smirks and leans into the seat a bit more before saying "it's fine. I get it, you're just shy." I look away but as soon as he says shy I perk back up. "What! I'm not...shy..." I answer
"It's alright. I'm good at talking." He answers as we start getting off the bus. He follows me and Ashlyn around and doesn't stop talking.
As we enter the corridors I hear Ashlyn and him talking about how small the school is before I hear his voice abrubtly stop.
I turn back and see Ben holding him by his collar and pointing at the office. There distracted and Ashlyn whispers "now's our chance!" As she grabs my hand and we dash down the hallway.
We duck behind the corners just as Aiden turns to where we were standing and said "we just need to pick up our schedules.. oh.." they both look around looking for any signs of us.
"Damn.. there fast." He says as he starts laughing manically. Me and Ashlyn sigh as we continue walking down the hallways,
Just as we round a corner someone shouts "incoming!" As a shoe comes flying and gets embedded in the wall "what the fuck." I say as I look to where the shoe came from.
I look over and see a dark haired boy being carried by another jock and a similar dark haired girl filming them. I look at Ashlyn and she just glares as I watch another one of the random jocks pick a fight with another boy.
"Welcome to high school in alto Emilia." She says to me as we continue walking. Just as we're about to walk into our classroom 201, I bump into a boy.
"Shit sorry!" I say as he falls to the floor, I help him grab his things. He smiles at me shyly. "Thanks.." he says as he hurry's inside.
Me and Ashlyn follow him inside. Ashlyn brushes her hands over the decks and sees our names. "Here are our seats." She says as she gestures to two seats lined up.
Ashlyn is sitting behind me. I look over at who might be my table mates. I freeze when I see the name. "Aiden C. Surely there's two Aiden's." I think as I look at the desk behind and see Ben's name written on it.
I look at Ashlyn and she returns my annoyed face. "Great." I say as she nods. Me and her chat for what seems like forever before I glance at the clock. "It's 8:50 the teachers late..." I think as I look over at Ben and Aiden's empty seats.
Before I can go back to talking with Ashlyn we hear yells from outside the door. "We wouldn't be late if we were helping instead of recording!" Someone says.
Then the two dark haired people from earlier in the hallway burst into the classroom. "Sorry we're late!" The boy says "please don't mark us tardy!" The girl says.
I found it funny since there was no teacher to mark them tardy. "We might have a chance!" The girl says as she's about to go and run to her seat.
"A chance?" Someone says behind them "are two of my students already late?" A voice who can only be the teacher.
"Just kidding!" He says as his whole demeanour changes "a class rule is if we're both late and you got here before me you're safe!"
Before either of them could go take a seat the teacher looks down and sees the boy is missing a shoe "where's your shoe?" He asks.
So that's whose shoe was thrown at us earlier as me and Ashlyn walked through the halls.
"Please get that after class... anyways! Please find which seats have your name on them." He says to them as the town dark haired kids find their seats.
My gaze follows the teach as two boys enter after him. My gaze darkens as I realize who it is.
He locks gazes with mine and smirks and then his gaze brightens as he sees he's sitting next to me.
"Sorry I'm late students. These two are new so let's make them feel welcome. You guys can sit to." He says.
I can feel Aiden's stares as I look out the window trying to pretend he isn't there. The teachers voice cuts through the silence. "Alright let's begin with some introductions!"
