Fresh Start

Vera's POV:

"Fuck it's 7:30?" I yelled.
I woke up to the sound of my buzzing alarm. I have 30 minutes to get ready and get to school. I haven't even showered yet! I brushed my teeth and went down stairs of my new house for breakfast.

"Good morning sweetie!" My mom said cheerfully.
"Cut it." I replied, not feeling it.

I ate my cereal and ran upstairs. All my clothes were still in boxes since I didn't have a chance to unpack when I got here yesterday. My mom's a fashion designer, her job transferred her to Los Angeles. Said something about a brighter chance of rising to the top. It's really nice out here but I do miss the Bay Area. Born and raised.

I checked the weather on my phone. 92 degrees. Never seen this in the bay. I digged through boxes of clothes. I decided to wear a white baseball jersey, black bralette underneath, light denim shorts and my white sk8-hi vans. I Applied my makeup and French braided my hair. Then grabbed my bucket hat and backpack which only had a notebook and a pencil inside and waited for my mom inside the car. She came out 5 minutes later and I was already 10 minutes late for school. I got there around 8:20

Mom: "Not a smart way to make a first impression."
Vera: "Maybe you should of woke me up instead of having my alarm go off for 30 minutes."
Mom: "That's not my responsibility."

I rolled my eyes. I grabbed my phone and checked Twitter, Instagram, and replied to a few of my text messages.

Mom: "Look I know you're upset about having to move down her in such short notice. I know you miss the bay, you're friends, and the cheer team. But please give LA a chance, you might like it.

I ignored her and continued to go on my phone. I'm now 20 minutes late to school. I got out the car and went straight to the office to get my late pass.

Ms. J: "Hi, I'm Ms. Judith. Welcome to Dartmith!"
Vera: "Hi, good morning! I'm so sorry I'm late. I got lost around the LA streets!" I lied
Ms. J: "Oh, I understand. Here's your schedule and I'll walk you to class."
Vera: "Thank you!"

We walked down the hallways. She asked me a lot about the bay. She's really nice, I like her! I walked into the class filled with beaming eyes. I hear a few guys cat calling and I roll my eyes.

Mr. D: "You must be Verity Rae, I'm Mr. Diloff.
Vera: "Yeah, I'd like to be called Vera if that's okay."
Mr. D: "Of course! Please take a seat next to Mr. Mendes. Shawn raise your hand."

"Why does she get to sit next to Shawn? " I hear a few girls mumble.

I took my seat and smiled at Shawn. He's kind of cute, now I understand why the girls were tripping.

Shawn: "Hey, I'm Shawn Mendes." He smiled back
Vera: "I'm Verity Rae. You can call me Vera."

"She's totally flirting with him" A girl mumbled.

The bell rung 10 minutes after. Shawn was really nice and sweet. I think we could become great friends.

Shawn: "Would you like to sit with me and my friends for lunch?"
Vera: "Uhm sure."

Shawn's POV:
A new girl walked in. Everyone was making cat calls and the girls were talking shit. She's really cute.

Mr. D: "You must be Verity Rae, I'm Mr. Diloff.
Vera: "Yeah, I'd like to be called Vera if that's okay."
Mr. D: "Of course! Please take a seat next to Mr. Mendes. Shawn raise your hand."

Wait she's sitting next to me? Yes! I raise my hand and she comes over and sits down. She smiled at me.

"Why does she get to sit next to Shawn? " I hear my ex Vannah mumble.
