The High School Project

Chapter 4: Skylar

I pulled up into the Beacon Hills High School (a/n: teen wolf 4 lyfe) parking lot in my white convertible. I could see a bunch of students roaming around in front of the school. There were guys tossing a football on the lawn, people leaning against the stairwell to look cool, and music hippies singing something that sounded like Kumbaya on the lawn. I could feel the liveliness of this school.

I was pretty excited about working on the senior project since it had an interesting twist on it. I grabbed the list of requirements that Ashley made out of my bag and read it over.

1. Make a friend from every social group

2. Get in trouble with every teacher

3. Do something to get a lot of attention

4. Participate in a least one club

5. Confront a bully

6. Become friends with the most popular boy and girl

That's when I got an idea for how to complete #3. I swung one leg at a time out of my car, taking my head out last. I swung the car door loudly behind me and put on my sunglasses in an exaggerated fashion. I added a dramatic hair flip and walked with confidence. But nobody noticed...

Well, there goes my plan for a "17 Again" dramatic entrance, I thought to myself. I glanced at my outfit one more time before making my way into the school. I looked around the halls of my "new" school and instantly noticed the colorful lockers, each locker decorated differently than the other. I took out a marker and wrote cool lockers, clean hallways on my arm. It wasn't the best place to write notes, but writing on my arms was a habit I wasn't going to quit.

It was easy to find my locker, because it was the only one that wasn't decorated. Note to self: decorate locker, later I thought to myself. Suddenly, the bell rung making the hallway crowded with students trying to get to class. I quickly grabbed what I needed out of my locker and hurried to homeroom (of course with some pushes and shoves along the way).

"Class, I'd like you to meet our new student, Skylar," Mr. Harrison announced. "Would you like to introduce yourself?"

I casually replied, "I'd rather not." He simply nodded and gestured for me to take my seat. The rest of class was basically just free time, so I took that time to write down my observations in an actual notebook. I intended to get an A on our senior project, so I was going to take notes whenever I could.

Classrooms are large and consist of 20 students at least.

Students don't talk much to people outside of their social groups.

Students are well-behaved in class.

The bell rung, making me jump. I quickly put away my notebook and rushed out of class.

"Hey new girl, wait up!" someone from behind me called out. I turned around to see a rather tall guy with messy brown hair chasing after me. Being called new girl was not something I liked.

"I have a name, you know," I told him once he caught up with me. He gave me a confused look, so I decided to help him out. "It's Skylar."

He smirked. "Okay then, Skylar. Let me show you around the school."

"That would be a waste of your time. Why do you want to show me around the school," I wondered out loud. I was expecting some clichéd answer like; "I think you're pretty" or "You seem different", but his answer surprised me.

"I want to draw you."

"Excuse me?"

"I said I want to draw you," he replied casually. I raised an eyebrow at what he said.

"Okay, mysterious guy I don't know. It would be nice to not get lost today, so you can show me around," I replied hesitantly. He chuckled at my reply.

"Connor West, at your service. What class do you need to get to next?" I took out my schedule to give him an answer.

"I have AP Biology next with... Mrs. Malec. So Connor..." I said mocking his tone of voice when he said my name. "Lead the way."

Hope you guys enjoyed my first chapter! I'm so so so sorry that it took me a long time to update. I really have no excuse since all I do is stay home and watch Netflix (the username explains it all). Don't worry, Bella and Gabby already yelled at me for all of our readers. I haven't actually written a book on my own account (netflixobsessed101), so this is basically my first book. It's probably not as good as the other chapters, because the rest of the girls are amazing writers. It would really mean a lot if you guys vote and comment for me! Thanks a million! I will try to start on my next chapter early, so I can update on time (no promises). I'll see you guys (not literally) on Skylar's next chapter. Byeeee (Sorry for all the parentheses I say in yet, another pair of parenthesis)
