Bewitched

Peppermint and Chocolate? Pretty good combo

Chapter 2:

A crowd of students came from behind me and I got pushed well until I was near the lockers. I took my schedule out and looked for where it said my locker number. I went there and got my locker combo too and put all my things in that tiny, pathetic excuse of a locker. All of a sudden I smelled a whiff of peppermint traced with a hint of chocolate. I turned around to see a mountain of black hair. Before I could get a good look at the girl, she ran off with her backpack toward the opposite side of the hallway. I shrugged and thought "Well at least I know her locker is behind me. Maybe I'll see her tommorow." I took a look at my schedule, got the books I needed, and hurried. I found my 1rst period just as the bell rang. My first thought was to find a good seat because ,on the first day, you find any old seat and it might turn out to be in a bad area but then you're like "oh this is only on the first day" but then the teacher says that its your permanent seat. I found a pretty good seat and while the teacher was taking roll, I looked around to see my fellow classmates for the year. As I gazed around, I stopped on a girl sitting in the first seat, front row. I couldn't see her face since she was facing the board, only her hair, which she had a lot of and was jet black. It was the girl from the hallway. I stared at her for so long, waiting for her to turn around that I didn't hear the teacher call my name. "Excuse me young man", she tapped my shoulder.

I jumped slightly and said "uhh yeah." The class snickered.

"Are you Logan Fortiter?" I replied that I was and gave her a sheepish grin. She gave me the face that said 'pay attention'. Great, she'll be watching me all the time now. She went back to the front of the classroom and started making introductions. I tuned out and sneaked more looks at the girl. It seemed like forever but class finally ended. The girl wasn't in my next two classes and I couldn't spot her in the hallway. I really didn't know why I was so interested in her. I mean I didn't know her name, who she was, or anything else important but I felt like I'm supposed to know her. Ok, that sounds like a crappy line from an even crappier romantic movie. Another hour later and it was lunchtime. This was what I was dreading. While I was trying to find a seat, I saw a sandy-haired kid wave his hand to me. He motioned for me to sit with him. I felt so relieved that I found a place to sit. I went over and sat down next to him. The other two kids at the table, a boy and a girl, looked at me curiously. The sandy-haired kid spoke. "So anyway I'm Jack, the good-looking one, these other two idiots are Pony and Nancy." I laughed and introduced myself to them. Pony had short hair and a round, babyish face, that didn't match his arms, which had scars on it. Nancy had brown hair up to her shoulders with gentle eyes and small lips. I turned to Pony and asked him if his name really was Pony. He replied that his real name was Edward Ponington so,for obvious reasons, he calls himself Pony. I started a conversation with Nancy when I noticed the empty chair. "Does anyone sit there?"

"Yeah, another one of our friends, she'll be here momentarily", Nancy replied. She was about to ask me if I had any brothers or sisters but then she stopped.

"Oh shit, here we go", she mumbled. I turned around and saw a well-built guy, a 12th grader, come over.

"So if it isn't Nancy, why did you leave yesterday, the party was getting good", the guy said with a lazy smile.

"Go away Dave, you were drunk and being a real asshole", she replied back angrily and a bit scared.

"Come on, sit with me", Dave said while grabbing her arm. She tried to break his grip but he wasn't letting go. Jack was about to do something when we heard someone say stop. I looked over my shoulder and smelled peppermint. Then I saw her.
