Fate

Chapter 1

First day of senior year and it was already bad. I had sprained my foot and was walking in crutches throughout my giant high school. Biggest high school in the city they say.  I wanted a fresh start and I was already sweaty. Let's go back, shall we?

Two weeks before school started it had been my birthday and I was learning how to drive. I unfortunately suffered an accident. No need to worry though! I had just sprained my foot.  Let's just say I was already having a bad month.

Anyways, back to the present. I struggled my ways through the hallways as I went to each of my classes. I found that my good friend Jenni was in 5 classes with me.

"Hey Jenni! I'm glad I have class with you! Boy , it would have been bad if I didn't have anyone to help me."

"yeah, whatever," she replied "basically you want to use me... jerk"

"Mee?? NEVER!" I replied with a sarcastic smile in my face.

I met Jenni last year in choir. Our friendship consisted of her making dirty jokes and me just laughing them off. She was a pretty funny and friendly girl. She enjoyed being friends with everyone and got along with a lot of people.

I was pretty happy with my schedule. I hope senior year is going to be a blast! I thought. As I walked into my fourth period, I saw a friend from my physics class during Junior year.

"Hey Joe! How've you been?"

"Pretty good,"

"Oh , that's good..."

"what happened to your foot?" he asked in question

"I sprained it in an accident."

"Bummer"

"yeah..."

I sat down in a seat next to him as I stared off into space. All these thoughts rushed into my head as I sat down. I wonder if I'll have a class with him this year...

The day passed smoothly and school was out before I knew it.

Guess I didn't have any classes with him, bummer.

I crutched down the hallway when I saw him. My heart started beating faster and I felt a smile on my face. There he was, the guy I had been crushing on since sophomore year. It was none other than Josh. I had always admired his looks. His beautiful hazel eyes, his olive skin, his big hands, his dark wavy hair. Everything about him was perfect. He was way taller than me, about 6'3" I, in the other hand, am pretty short, 5 feet to be precise. I thought he was so beautiful. I would never be willing to go for him though. First of all, he has a girlfriend. Secondly, I didn't really know him that well. Looks aren't everything in life.

As I walked away I was in a dreamy state thinking about him. It was probably best if I didn't have a class with him, I would have been distracted, I thought. I had to concentrate on my work, after all it was senior year!

Two weeks flowed by and everyone was getting used to their classes. Schedule changes were happening everywhere. People were angry, frustrated, and moody. I was able to walk normally again and I had started to notice that I had made a wrong choice sitting next to Joe. He had turned very rude over the summer. I couldn't stand him, we would fight over everything, and worse part, he would boss me around. It drove me to the point where I wanted to cry every day after class. Nothing could make this year worse.

I walked into my class and settled down. The class was pretty rowdy and the tardy bell rang. As the teacher closed the door, someone came running up to her showing her his schedule change. Stupid schedule changes, I thought. I sat quietly while I chipped away the polish off my fingers.

"JOSH!! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE A CLASS TOGETHER!!"

I turned around and it was Jenni giving Josh a hug. I felt flustered, so he does have a class with me. I was very happy, especially since Jenni seemed to be really good friends with him.

"Oh hey, meet Samantha"

NO JENNI, NOT NOW! MY FACE, MY HAIR, MY MAKEUP, NOO!

"Josh, Samantha, Samantha, Josh"

"Hey," He breathed

"Hi," I waved, awkwardly.

I couldn't believe it. I was talking to Josh.
