Finally it was the end of the day and I had all but one period left, art. I've always been artsy but nothing special. I'm decent I guess. When I walked in there were many high tables covered in different colors of dry paint and stools surrounding them. Paintings and other projects clung on what it seemed like everywhere on the walls. Everyone was talking and some admired the works surrounding the room. I walked over to the teacher to ask her where I sat and she pointed to my seat which was at a table with only guys who seemed to be have their eyes glued to their phones or the girls ass who was passing around syllabi. I walked over, set my stuff on the table and sat on my stool. All of a sudden all eyes were on me. This is weird.
"Hey you new?" Said a tall blonde boy sitting across from me.
"Um yea I'm Emma."
"Where did you move from miss Emma?" Said a guy sitting next to me. He had curly dark brown hair and blue eyes waiting for my response.
"East Lake." I said shyly.
"San Diego hu? Sweet." Said a guy sitting to my right who was shorter than the rest but still very cute and super tan. I just nodded.
"Why the hell did you make that change?" Said the hot guy next to the one that had spoken first, he was thin and tall with black hair and a leather jacket, so I'm guessing he's the bad boy.
"It wasn't really up to me but it's no big deal, it's. not so far away." They just nodded.
"Well I'm Garret." Said the first one that spoke. "He's Lucas, that's Troy and that ass over there, that's Adam." He said naming them in the order they spoke. Adam just flipped him off and turned away.
"So have you made any friends?" Asked Garret.
"Yes but I think my favorites would have to be Juliet and Reagan." Troy quickly turned to me as soon as I said Juliet's name.
"You're friends with Juliet?" He said.
"Yea she really is super cool and totally gorgeous." I said waiting for his reaction.
"Yea she is." He said spacing out, probably thinking about her.
"So Emma have you seen any guys you like? Asked Lucas. I just looked down embarrassed feeling my cheeks get hot.
"Come on bro how would she know she doesn't know any guys." Answers Garrett.
"We'll that's not true, I now know all of you." I say smiling, they smiled back. We talked the rest of the period Garrett and Lucas kinda flirted, and Troy asked a lot of questions about Juliet which I answered happily. And Adam, well Adam just sat and listened he was weird but still super cute. He stared at me most of the time and then said something that was so weird.
"I know exactly who you're going to fall for."
All the guys turned to look at Adam and he nodded towards the empty stool right in front of me. They all immediately get this weird look on their face like he was right. So I want to know who the hell they're talking about when the bell rings days over! Danget! Who sits there and how would they know if I'm going to like him?
After aunt Karen picks me up she asks me about school and I answer happy that my day was great. At home I sit with my feet in the pool, I looked at the water contemplating about what Adam had said. I don't know why but it was killing me not knowing what this guys name is and what he looks like and does he have a nice personality? I put my hand over the water with my index finger pointing down I start to make circular motions causing the water to spin creating a whirlpool.
The next day at school I meet Juliet and Reagan at a table under a canopy.
"Oh my gosh I LOOOVE the skirt!" Shouted Reagan before I even got to the table.
"Oh why thank you." I said batting my eyelashes playfully. I wore a colorful floral print skirt that proofed out a bit thanks to my crinoline and a white v neck tucked in with brown wedged booties, and cream colored leg warmers scrunched around my ankles and simple gold jewelry. I was very proud of today's ensemble. I smiled big.
"Thank you!" I said flattening the non existing wrinkles on my skirt.
"Give us a little turn." Teased Juliet. I smiled and turned but half turn I fiercely bumped into something hard and warm.
"Ow! What gives? You stepped on my shoe and nearly knocked me over!" I shout fluffing my skirt. I look up only to be met with the most beautiful light honey eyes.
"Geez calm yourself it was an accident princess." He says sarcastically.
"Princess!? What ever just watch where you're going!" I say super angry now. I look at him up and down with anger in my eyes. Man this guy is beautiful, he stands at least nearly a foot over me with beautiful tan skin and curly, curly almost black hair that hung below his ears"Emma snap out of it!" I mentally slap myself this guy is a jerk.
"How about you watch where you're twirling princess this isn't a fashion show." He barks before looking at me up and down. He huffs, gives a little rude laugh, and walks away. As I watched his lean body walk away I realize my jaw is hanging , I don't know if its because of how beautiful he is or how rude he was. "Who the hell does he think he is?" I ask the girls trying to hide my admiration for his looks, he might be hot but he seems ugly on the inside.
"That's Ethan Strong, he's cute right?" Says Reagan.
"Are you kidding me Rea?! Did you see the way he talked to me?!" I reply acting as if I didn't agree.
"I saw the way you snapped at him." Giggled Juliet. 'Ring!' Rang the bell.
"I did feel bad but then he gave me attitude," I frowned. "What ever ill meet you guys here after second?" They nodded and the three of us walked in opposite directions. All day I was anxious to find our who sat i front of me in sixth. But for some reason I kept thinking about those honey eyes. No! Emma come on the guy is a total loser! Well maybe he's not. I just happened to meet him in an unfortunate way. Wait... Why am I even conflicted about this? I don't even know him!
Finally it was sixth period again and I walked in nervously looking for the guy who sits in front of me but the stool was empty and I felt my body slump. The anticipation was killing me! I sat down glumly until I heard the guys all greet me.
"Hey guys!" I greeted back. They all smiled, and Adam just looked at me then rolled his eyes while putting in his earbuds in turning his music up and laying his head down. I raised an eyebrow at that then stuck my tongue out at him, even though he didn't see. The other guys just laughed and we turned to listen to the teachers instructions on a project. I look over one last time at the empty seat, sigh heavily and just go back to listening. Ten minutes later I'm looking down super concentrated on my sketch when I hear the door open but don't bother to look up. "Why hello there thank you for finally joining us." Says mrs. Lane sarcastically.
"Sorry mrs. Lane I was uh in the bathroom." Said a familiar voice but I still don't look up.
"Yea ok look mr. Lets not repeat last years habits shall we?" Next thing I know I hear the stool in front of me is being pulled out. Oh my gosh it's him. I finally look up to see a pair of beautiful honey eyes examining me. It's him?!
"Hi there princess." He said in a playful tone. My stomach did summersaults.
Garret looked over with a raised eyebrow. We still looked at each other. I didn't know what to say. There was an awkward silence but we didn't break eye contact. Garrett finally spoke.
"Uuuh....Emma. This is Ethan, Ethan this is Emma.
