Peep. Peep. Peep.
My alarm going off, waking me up. A new day has begon. I get up, go to my closet to pick my clothes for the day. Black skinny jeans and a long sleeved top will make it. I take my clothes and go to the bathroom to take a shower. The shower definitly woke me up.
"Trista, come! Hurry up! You got 20 minutes late and haven't eaten your breakfast yet!" shouts my mom. "Yeah, don't worry. I'll be down there soon!" I shout back. I go back to my room and start doing my make up and hair. I put on some eyeliner, black eyeshadow with glitter and brushed my blond hair and put them into a highponytail.
Downstairs, I sit down on a chair and start eating my breakfast. "You got 5 minutes left" my mother says in a strict tone and i look at my phone. Deep inside I didnt want to go to school, Summerbreak was way too short. But I was excited to see my Friends again. I drank the rst of my coffee, pushed the last piece of the croissant in my mouth and run upstairs into my room to take on my shoes. I run back downstairs, outside the door where my mom was waiting. She always takes me to school, but rarely picks me up. I get in the car, connect my phone and put on some music. There was a bit more traffic than usual, which didn't consern me, because we left the house 30 minutes earlier, because my mom has to be at work before 8a.m. and we already new that there would be more traffic than usual because its the first day after the holidays.
"have fun hon!" my mom says as I leave the car. "Bye, see you later" i just say and start looking for my friends. I look around and see noone. Its 7:40 a.m. , so i enter school and walk around. Its kind of empty. Barely any students. I keep walking around with my headphones on. I feel my phone buzzin so i check it. Nea texted in the groupchat , saying she will be running late due to traffic. Now my other friends start texting that they also are stuck in traffic. Well, they all except me are coming from the north and im coming from the south, so luckily the traffic wasn't at our side. I start typing :" OMG, u guys got such a bad luck, late on the first day of school!" and send it. "Hey, the news just confirmed that there was a giant accident. It'll take like over an hour to clean the road and everything. And not only the north, but also the ppl which come from the east and west are in the traffc." Mary texts. :"omg, some many people will be la" and I fall to the floor. "Sorry, I didn't see you" i say to the guy i ran into. He looks at me confused. "Are you okay" i say while standing up " Did you get hurt?" i continue.He just keeps looking at me confused so i say:" Hey, my name is Trista, whats yours?" with a soft smile on my lips. The black haird guy looks now even more confused but finally responses with:" My name is Jabez." and looks towards the floor where i just was laying. "I've never heard of that name before. Jabez, what a beautiful name" i say with a bright smile on my face. "i hope you are okay, and I didn't hurt you" i continue. Now he shuts down again and says nothing. My phone buzzes again so i say "Well I gotta go again, bye, it wa nice to meet you" He looks at me and I'm not able to interpretend his look. He smiles for a second and then turns around and leaves. I watch him walk away and then also go away. I go to my classroom while checking my messages from the groupchat. I delet the message i was typing in before and read through the chat. They are just talking about the accident. 4 people died and 10 people got badly injured and 12 more got just a bit injured.
I put my phone away and enter the classroom. I sit down in a middle row and wait till the bell ring.
I look outside the windwo, focused on the nature untill the bell interruped me. The teacher enters the classroom and looks confused at me. "where are the others?" askes Mr. Smith. "Probably still stuck in traffic, there was a giant accident" "oh" he responses. "So its only the two of you?" I look at him confused and turn around to look for the second person. There I see Jabez again. He looked at me but as soon as I turned around he looked to the front. I turn back around to the teacher which continues "Well, we won't start class untill most of the people have arrived, so what would you guys like to do?" i look back to Jabez which looks away again but this time instead of looking at the front he looks down and moves his arms quickly. I look back at the teacher and recommend " How about watchting an movie?" "Are you okay with that..." he looks at Jabez "Jabez" Jabez says "Okay, so are you fine with that?" i turn around and see him nod. "well lets watch "the wave"" I nod agreeing and the teacher puts in the movie. During the intro of the movie mr. Smith askes "Dont you guys wanna sit in the front to see the movie better?" i get up and sit down in the front row, Jabez sits next to me and we continue watching the movie, while i sometimes feel somebody starring at me, which i ignore to focuse on the movie.
