Through The Dark

6. New Kid

Monday Morning

It's Monday morning now. The clock reads 5:30 a.m. and I get out of my comfy bed to go to my closet. I pick out a pink sweater with white bold letters that read U.S. Capitol. I then grab a pair of black leggings and my black Toms. I then go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and put my hair in a bun. I apply some mascara to at least not scare anyone on Monday and clean my glasses. Not that anyone would care for my appearance.

I grab my backpack and head downstairs to have a cold glass of orange juice and a banana. Hopefully this week flys by and is good to me.

I head out the garage door and before shutting it my mum comes into the garage and gives me a kiss goodbye.

"Have a nice day sweetie love you." She says. She's already dressed in her work clothes.

"Love you too mum." I say throwing my backpack into the back seat.

I climb into the car and turn my Spotify on to my playlist. Fairly local by TwentyOne Pilots is playing in the background. I drive over to my friends house Megan, Meg for short. I sometimes pick her up and we carpool to school. Meg was a red head with hazelish eyes and was absolutely beautiful. She's around my height 5"3, smart and we thought so much alike. That's probably why we got along so well. I honestly don't know how I would survive everyday highschool life without this girl!

I arrive at Meg's house. "Hey Meg, ready for school?" I unlock her door with a smile and she gets in.

"Yup. All ready." She says with a sweet smile. We both were bumming it today. We usually plan our outfits together whether we want to dress up or down. Today we decided to dress down since it was a Monday.

Shawn Mendes is playing in the background now. Meg turns up the volume. She's one of the biggest fan girls when it comes to Shawn and Justin Bieber. Another reason why we get along, because we have the same music taste.

We arrive at school and I don't see Ashton's car parked anywhere close to my usual parking spot. It's been a little strange since I last saw him on Saturday in the late a.m. I see Liam when I get out of my car and grab my backpack from the back seat.

He makes his way over to us. "Hey Sophia, um, uh, Hi Megan." He stutters a bit when he sees Meg. I secretly think he has a crush on her.

"Hey yourself." I say winking at Liam.

"Hiya Liam." She says her cheeks showing a light shade of pink blush.

A black, slick Audi R8 rolls in. I've never seen this car around before. It can't be Ashton because Ashton has a Black Dodge Challenger. It must be someone new. And for that in sure it was someone new. He turns his back around and he's wearing a white t-shirt. He then throws on a black leather jacket and grabs a backpack from the passenger seat and looks up directly at me. He gives me a wink and closes his door, locking the car and walks pass us scanning me up and down. I actually don't mind it. But I then remember I look like crap.

We walk into school. And I hug Meg goodbye until 2 periods from now that I'll see her again. We have five periods straight together this year just like sophomore year. I wave Liam goodbye and head over to my locker and grab the books that I'll need for first period.

I walk into first period, Honors Thematics II. I love Thematics because it's not like your normal English class. It gives you the freedom to express yourself on huge projects and plus I really wanted to do a senior project.

We sit in pairs of two's in rows and no one sits next to me. Until today. The cute boy that I saw in the parking lot sits next to me. Cliché Yes I know. He is pretty attractive and he's well built like Ashton. I guess he doesn't notice me at first that I was the girl he winked at in the parking lot, since I was on my phone scrolling through Twitter to distract myself from saying anything foolish.
