Emily •

I woke up to my alarm blaring on my bedside table, I groan and roll over to turn it off.

I have a whole list of stuff to do today starting off with school. I really don't want to go as it's my last-first day of college but I have to.

I get up and walk over to my bathroom, opening the door I make my way over to the marble sink with a circle shaped mirror hanging above it.

I grab my toothbrush and tooth paste and start brushing my teeth, once I get done with that I make my way over to my closet and pick out what to wear for the day.

I decide on a white and black checkered skirt, a simple black top, my high-knee black lace socks, and converse

I walk over to my vanity and look in the mirror

"Time for hair." I huff out

I sit down and brush my hair letting my soft and wavy hair stay natural

Once I get done I grab my bag and start the journey of walking to school.

•••

I arrive at school and as usual I'm confused as ever, I have no idea where my classes are nor do I really know anyone in them.

I stop near a group of small people and decide this is where I'll get the help I need

"H-Hello I'm looking for Mr. Brown's class, could one of you point me in the direction of his classroom.. please..?" I stutter out, gosh this is embarrassing

A tall figure turns around and makes eye contact with me

he has black hair that covers the majority of his forehead stopping just above his eyes, his eyes are a light blue that almost look gray, I've never seen someone with such astonishing features

He's dressed in black cargo pants, a white hoodie, and converse that help contrast between the light and darks

I notice that I've been staring at him this entire time and I'm not even sure if he's said anything to me.. if anyone has said anything to me for that matter

"I'm s-sorry." I say turning to walk away feeling completely embarrassed

But before I manage to start walking away I feel a hand on my shoulder stopping me in my tracks

"It's okay, but if you'd still like help Mr. Brown is my first period teacher as well. I'd be more than happy to show you to his classroom." A voice says behind me it's soft but raspy at the same time

I turn to the person the voice came from and nod my head softly and shyly

He says goodbye to whom I'm assuming are his friends and leads the way to our destination

"Here we are!" He says as we enter the room

"Thank you, I really appreciate it. My names Emily." I say stopping and reaching my hand out for him to shake

He takes my hand and softly shakes it "I'm Atlas."

I nod my head and lead the way to two seats in the back of the class, Atlas follows and takes the seat right next to mine

"We're a bit early." Atlas says turning to me

The classrooms empty and his voice slightly echos throughout the room

"That makes since as to why we're the only people in here" I say taking a breath. I'm not used to talking to people not really anyway, I kind of just avoid them at all cost "Thank you for helping me."

"Of course." He says with a small smile

As we talk time seems to go by quite fast when we break conversation students are piling into the classroom followed by our teacher

He makes his way to the desk positioned infront of the classroom

"Hello, my name is Mr. Brown and I will be your geography teacher. This should be an easy year for you guys as long as you pay attention." He says with his voice booming throughout the classroom

"Dude I don't want to be here." I whisper to Atlas

"Neither do I, school sucks." He whispers back

"Agreed."

We sit in silence for alittle before I decide to speak up again

"Do you want to hang out after school? It'll give us something to do and maybe we could learn more about eachother." I say

"I'd love that, if you'd like we could go to my house if that's what you're comfortable with." He softly says

"I'm okay with that, as long as you're not trying to lead me into a trap leading me to ultimate death." I joke

He chuckles and shakes his head in a playfully disappointed manner

We sit there for awhile and it feels like time is going by as slow as it possibly can.

This is going to be a long day.
