Life and thorns

Ch. 3

************** Lunch **************

******* Jack's POV****

While I was in the office waiting for my class schedule, I saw her again, the girl across the street. she was wearing just casual clothes compared to every other girl in this school, and her beautiful brown hair wasn't in the pony tail like this morning but was in a messy bun on top of her head, but it still looked so good on her. just before she left my view one of the office workers handed me my class schedule and when I turned back to see her again, she was gone.

luckily for me, the sport teams were having sign ups and meetings for the first two blocks, so I got to meet some people and have someone to hang out with at lunch and at least know so I'm not a loner at school and make a bad rep for myself, also lucky I liked to play football.

As the football team and I were talking some blonde girl came running down the hall in high heels and skin tight jeans, yelling someone's name, Katherine, I believe was the name she was shouting, as soon as she reached our group she stopped running and yelling, she started to talk with us, and the guys introduced me to her, we all talked a bit of our summer's but I didn't really talk, I was too busy trying to find the beautiful brunette that I was falling in love with.

As I was zoned-out I felt someone start to punch my arm, then next thing I get a sharp pinch and turn to see who did it, it was the blonde girl, what was her name... Carmen! she was giving me this weird look, a look that was her way of saying "so are you gonna answer my question or not?", I then said " hmmm sorry, I wasn't paying attention...", " I was saying, where did you come from? I've never seen you around the halls before." she said with a smile, but for some reason I feel like she is flirting with me, but how would I know? the only girl I've ever talked to was back in fourth grade. " umm I just moved from California with my dad... we just got here a couple of days ago. This is also my first time since grade 1 being in a public school." I stated to the group of guys + the blonde. Then the guys all started talking about last year's winnings and how they could do better, I tried to listen in but the blonde came beside me and started asking me questions, " did you go to private schools instead of public? was it a all-guy school? I bet it was an all-guys school, do you have a girlfriend? Oh you probably don't cause you just moved here! Well, I'm Carmen James if you didnt hear. I'm 16 years old and I'm currently in grade 11, who are you?" she said not giving me a chance to talk, " well, you ask some good questions, lets see if I can actually answer them all. I have never been in a private school, I was in public school till grade 1, then i got home-schooled till now. I've never had a girlfriend, I've had a couple of things but we didn't really do anything besides me wasting my money on them, AND I don't really know how to talk to girls, my best-friend in Cali also had set me up... Oh, and I'm Jack, Jack Damien, I'm 17 years old and I'm in my last year of school." I said, after I finished saying all that she looked at me in awe, which I'm use to. Carmen and I then joined in on the footballs team for a little bit longer when she saw her friend, the beautiful brunette, and went running after her, I was for sure thinking she'd fall over in her high heels. 

****Katherine's POV******

"Hey! hey! Wait for me!" Carmen yelled while trying to run in her 'Barbie by town' shoes. Once she caught up with me we walked outside to the field where everyone was sitting in their groups of friends, talking and eating, or playing the guitar and sing. Carmen and I always just walked around the track during our lunch and talked, or we walked or drove to the Tim Horton's near to our school.

" what were you doing before you came running do the hall?" I asked, " oh I was meeting some new guys that just came to this school for their final year! And that guy was the one you we're staring at last night was there too!" She said giving me a sassy wink. I probably started to blush thinking that Carmen saw me staring at the new neighbour...
