It's the first day of senior year and I could not be more happy. I don't have to deal with anymore kids from the 11th grade and under after this year. I drove to school feeling all sorts of happy. I was so happy that I even stopped by McDonalds and grabbed something to eat. As I pulled into the parking lot of my school , James Kane High School, I smiled at everyone I saw. At the security guards, at people I didn't know, at teachers, EVERYONE! I still had about half an hour until I classes started, so I took the opportunity to go see old friends who I hadn't seen all summer since I was in Europe the whole time. I ran up to my BEST friend Andrea and gave her the biggest hug. Along with my other friends. "How was Europe?" They all asked. " Europe was AMAZING!! The food was bomb! The boys were bomb! the shops were gorgeous! The boys were gorgeous! It was just an amazing time! I brought you all gifts." I reached into my bag and gave them all their own little gifts. "This is so sweet. You didn't have to." Karly said. "Yeah but I wanted to." I looked at my watch to see how much time we had left. "Girls, what are all of your classes?" I asked. We all brought out our schedules. None of us had ANY classes together. I felt like I could manage however I didn't know how they would react. "Well this sucks!" Lizzy said out. "I know. But we can get through it guys." Karly said. "Well we have like 5 minutes til classes start and I still have to go find my first period class so I'll see you guys at lunch. Meet me at the front doors." I said going to my class. "Class 103,103,103,103" I said over and over to myself while looking at every door number. Finally I got there. Class 103: Human Growth. I observed everyone in my class before taking my seat. Right next to the window; "Perfect for selfies!" I thought to myself. "Alright class, my name is Mr.Keizer. I will be your teacher for this class. I'm pretty sure most of you took this class because it is indeed a bird course and because you and I both think this is a joke class. It's very easy to get an A in this class and if you don't get an A in this class I will be very concerned. We'll start off with the basic attendance and then those boring ice breaker games." I knew that I was going to like this class and especially the teacher. He was tall, at least 6 foot 2, long brown hair that was put into a bun and he had a clean trimmed beard and mustache. He was wearing a nice light blue dress shirt and grey trousers. After doing the attendance, Mr. K broke us into groups of 5 so we could get to know each other. I was in a group with 3 girls including me and 2 boys. The girls looked friendly and one of the boys did as well. The other boy, looked bad ass. He looked like he only took this course because he knew it would be filled with mainly girls and had no other option. I couldn't help but stare at him. I mean he was hella fine! It came to my turn to introduce myself. " My name is Lily and one thing I did this summer was travel to Europe." I said smiling. "You kinda really cute." The boy said. I kinda startled and thanked him. It was the other boy's turn. "My name is Travis and one thing I did this summer was move here." He smiled. "Well welcome!!" I said to him. "Thank you." It was then that mysterious guy's turn. "Uh..My name is Justin and one thing I did this summer was drink until I had to get my stomach pumped." He laughed. I kinda raised my eyebrows in shock that he was so proud of that but at the same time I shouldn't have been surprised that he would say something like that. Once we finished introductions, we had played more ice breaker games for the rest of the period. The last 10 minutes of my first period, Justin came up to my desk. "So you travelled to Europe huh?" He asked me. I slowly looked up at him, "Uh huh." I said and looked back down at my phone. He grabbed a chair and placed in front of my desk and sat on it. "Look, I can tell you're one of those girls who its gonna be hard getting to know. And I probably didn't make the best first impression so why don't we start over again?" He stuck out his hand for me to shake it. I looked at him for a while and went for it. " Hi my name is Justin and I'll probably be one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet." I couldn't help but laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes. "Nice one. You must also be one of the funniest guys I'll ever meet too." "Why don't you have lunch with me today?" He asked. "Gee Justin , I'd be delighted to but I've already made plans with my friends." "Not a problem, how does tomorrow sound?" "Sure." I agreed. "Sweet, I'll see you tomorrow then." I had no idea what had just happened. I went to my next class and guess who was there. JUSTIN!! He looked over to me and motioned me to come sit near him. I walked towards him but sat in the next row infront of him. As I bent down to sit in my desk I heard a group of boys. " DAAAAAAYYYYUUUUM shawty got a fatty." Justin and his friends said. As I was about to get up and move the teacher walked in. "Good morning class. My name is Mrs.Zimmerman and the seats you are sitting in are your seats for the rest of the semester. Im not sorry if you sat somewhere you knew was going to be a distraction for you." She was an old bitter one that Zimmerman and I knew I was going to hate English with her.
During lunch, I met up with my small group of girls and we discussed our classes so far. I told them about Justin. "Yeah I remember Krista dated him last year and he took her V-Card. She said he was really big too." Lizzy said. "Too much information! Why did they break up?" "He wasn't faithful." "Thought so." We pulled up to a Panera Bread. "So are you gonna try anything with him?" They asked as we were eating. " No. I think he's too much of a player. If I'm going to be with someone, he can't be looking at other girls." I said. We talked more and more until it was time to go back to school.
As I grabbed my stuff out my locker, I saw Justin walking towards me with some sort of smirk on his face. "What can I help you with Justin?" He leaned on the locker next to mine. "What are you doing after school?" I shut my locker and started heading towards a door. "Unfortunately Justin , I am busy." " Busy doing what?" I honestly had nothing to do, I just didn't want to hang out with him. "I have to clean my room." I said. "I could help you." He said smiling innocently. "I think it's best if you didn't. Do you need a ride home?" I offered politely. "Sure." He answered. Just before he got out of my car, he gave me a piece of paper with his number on it. He looked at me and winked. "Thank you for the ride."
After I dropped him off, I drove home. As soon as I walked in, I saw that we had family over. "What's all of this?" I asked them putting down my books. "Your mom and Darren are doing an actual wedding ceremony. So we're planning,"said my aunt. "Ok. Well Im going to be in my room if anyone needs me." I ran upstairs to my room and opened the paper with Justin's number on it again. I looked long and hard at it and tossed it on my desk and cracked open my laptop and started watching Scandal.
