"She looked into his eyes and saw something special. Something she's never seen in someone's eyes: Redemption. "
The weekend flew by to fast.
I hit my alarm clock several times before I finally get my butt out of bed. I open my bedroom door and walk to the bathroom. I turn on the shower and brush my teeth as I wait for my shower water to get warm. After I'm done brushing my teeth I step into the shower and let the hot water run down my entire body. My eyes keep closing but I get snapped out of tiredness as I hear a loud pounding on the bathroom door. I hurry up and finish cleaning off before I step out of the shower. I wrap a towel around my waist as I walk back to my room. I get dressed into my uniform, fix my hair, and then walk down the stairs. Ben is sitting at the table with his head on his plate. "Bud." I say as I shake him awake. He opens his eyes and blinks at me a couple of times before looking back down at his poptart and finishes eating it. I cringe but don't say a word. I make myself breakfast as I hear footsteps walking down the stairs: "Lucas, Ben, are you two almost ready?" My mother asks. We both look at each other and nod our heads. I shove the piece of toast into my mouth and grab my book-bag from the chair and follow her outside of the house. I lock the door behind us and slide into the car.
I stare outside the window as my mother and Ben talk about something. I'm nervous about today since today is the first time I'll meet all my teachers and classmates. I know people are talking about me. Some of them even pointed at me and once Grahman saw and snapped at them. I sigh as I look down at my hands and hope for the best of day. Minutes later we drop Ben off at his school before we drive to my school. I start to tap my foot, as we get closer to the school. Grahman said to meet them outside of Dalton since that's where our first class is. Once we pull up to the drop off my mother says: "Have a great day, please be good." She smiles.
I just smile at her as I push open the car door and step out of the car. I watch as she drives away before looking for Grahman and the rest of his friend group. I start to panic, as I don't see any familiar faces. Seconds later someone runs into me. I don't fall but my phone does. "Damnit." I say as I reach down and grab it. There is now a tiny crack in the middle of my phone, but it's barely noticeable.
"Watch where your going dude!" A girl says from behind me as I turn around and I stare into brown eyes of a girl. She's at least 5'5 and her black hair is pulled into a bun on top of her head. "You ran into me." I say.
She looks me up and down before saying: "You're the one that ran into me in the hall the other day. I wouldn't forget a face like yours." She says.
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"That's for me to know and for you to dot, dot, dot." She shrugs and walks away from me. I start to walk away but something hits my foot. I look down and see a pink notebook at my feet. "Hey!" I scream but she's already gone. I pick it up and stare at it. I shake my head and just slip it into my book-bag. I look around me again, looking for Grahman and his friends but don't see them. I scoff and just walk into the school; of course they would ditch me. I'm a nobody. A fun newbie to play with.
I dig my schedule out of my book-bag and look at it again. First I have honors French, room 204, and that's suppose to be the room where my locker is by. I walk down the hall, looking at every room number, as I look for the room I'm suppose to be in. The bell rings as I'm still walking down the hall, I swear as I start to run faster. I've been down the entire hallway and I haven't found the room at all. Then it hits me. Room 204, which has a two in front of it, which means it, has to be on the second floor. I see the stairs and run up them, sprinting, as I try to hurry up and find the room. I open the door of the staircase and speed walk down the hall. I almost scream out of happiness once I see the door. I walk up to it and try to open the door but to my horror it's locked. I close my eyes and cuss in my head but within seconds the door opens and the teacher opens the door.
