The High School Project

Chapter 8: Skylar

AP biology was kinda fun; Mrs Malec was smiley and helpful, but turned surprisingly sour when she caught a guy throwing a paper airplane.

Note to self: be extra careful when you have to get in trouble with this teacher.

Connor had sat next to me and spent the whole time saying funny things about her and the people around us in an effort to get me to laugh really loud and get into trouble. Thankfully I managed to stifle all of my giggles and get him back by telling Mrs Malec that "Connor had just been telling me how he really wanted to join her after school 'fun science club' he had just been too embarrassed to say so before. The look on his face had been priceless. He had also introduced me to some of his friends: Xanthe, Noah and Chris. They seemed nice and it meant that I had already made friends with the 'arty kids' so I only had the popular ones, the nerds and the Goths to go. I hated being the awkward new kid though; I just wasn't used to it. In my normal school I was one of the popular ones- known and loved by all, so it was hard to adjust to being just some random girl. It brought out a self-conscious side of me that I didn't like one bit.

This was proved whenever I tried talking to someone new. I would say hi and they would always smile back warmly and ask me my name and stuff, but as soon as the formalities were over they just turned back to their friends. This was going to be harder I had thought.

I plowed through the classes until lunch making notes in my notebook.

Teachers strict but fair.

People friendly but mostly just in a polite way.

Very close knit society. You have your friends and you stick with them.

Considering this I began to get nervous as lunch approached about who I could sit next to. Connor and his friends might let me, but I couldn't be sure. It was time to tick one more item off the list: Do something to get a lot of attention, take two.

I walked outside to the lunch benches that everyone used when it was baking hot like today and located Connor at a table right in the middle of all the people. Oh boy. But I swallowed my fear and swaggered up to him.

"Hey."

"Oh, hey Skylar I..."

I interrupted by pulling him on top of the table where we stood with everyone's eyes turned to us, exactly as I had planned. Though I hadn't planned the butterflies that were currently wreaking havoc in my stomach. But I ignored them, took a deep breath, and kissed him.
