My High School Adventure

Chapter 3

Tori's POV
The next two days of school went by fast and pretty good. I managed to avoid Jennifer and her gang most of the time. I also got to know "the geeks" better! I woke up this morning feeling good. I hopped out of bed and took a shower. I put on jeans, a white sweatshirt and brown combat boots. I brushed my hair and pulled it into a braid. I put on mascara and lemon lipgloss. I ran down the stairs and grabbed my book bag and a waffle. I headed out the door just as Jack did, so we walked to school together. I learned a lot about him. Like how he loves baseball and superheroes. We talked the entire way. When we eventually got to school, we said our farewell and headed to our lockers.
~Time Skip to Locker~
When I approached my locker, I saw Jessie, Lacey and Katelyn gathered around it. "Hey guys!" I called out, waving. They turned and immediately lit up. "Hey Tori! Did you hear? There are new students! People are saying that one starts school today!" Lacey said in a blur of words. I laughed. Before anybody said anything else about it, the warning bell rung. "Better go! Class is on the other side of school!" Jessie said, grabbing Katelyn's arm, dragging her along. Lacey and I laughed. "Ready for History?" I asked. Lacey nodded and together we walked to class.
~Time Skip to 4th Period~
Yay! Advanced English! This is my favorite class! All my friends are in it, except Lucas and Tom. Even Jack and that Alex kid are in this class! I was assigned to sit next to Jessie, which makes this class so much fun! When we walk into class today, the board says to write a fictional short story about monsters, for the spirit of Halloween. I giggle in delight and start writing my story.
~Time Skip to 30 Minutes~
Thirty minutes into class, Mr. Sullivan asks if anyone wants to share their story and I raise my hand. After much consideration, Mr. Sullivan points at me and says, "Ms. Summers, please come to the front." He sets up a chair and I sit down. I take a deep breath and read.
~Time Skip to the End of Her Story~
Everybody claps. I smile and head back to my seat right as the bell rings. Yes! I have a free period next! My friends walk over and start bombarding me with questions and compliments. "That was amazing Tori!" Katelyn squeals, hugging me. "I had no idea you could write like that!" Alex exclaims. Beside him, Jack nods. "Your friends are right Victoria. That was quite splendid," a voice with a thick British accent says from behind me. I sigh and roll my eyes. I turn on my heel and growl, "What are you doing her Winston?" I spit his name out, disgusted I had to say it again. Behind me I hear Jack ask, "Who's he?" I turn to answer him when Winston cuts me off. "I'm her boyfriend!" his British voice lingers on the word boyfriend as he puts his arm around me. I flinch and shake him off, exclaiming angrily, "You're my ex-boyfriend. Emphasize on the ex." I move towards my friends and face him. His face is a mix of anger and disappointment. He lifts his hands and I unintentionally flinch again. "Fine, I'll back off," Winston says, stepping back. "Good!" I growl, turning to walk out of the room. "But I just thought you should know that Margaret and Alastair moved here as well, after, what happened at Dove Heights." That stops me in my tracks. Weeks of anger that had welled up inside me burst out. I turn around again and march towards him. "What happened there was not my fault. You and Madeline did that. Marge, Al and I were just the repercussions." I growl, coming face to face to him. Winston smiles happily. Not most people can get me this mad. And he knows that. "Uh-huh. You did nothing." Winston says sarcastically, only adding coals to the already flaming fire. I scoff and walk out of the room, wanting nothing more than to go home.
Alex's POV
Who does that guy think he is? Winston. Even his name sounds evil. He didn't seem like much at first. Just hitting on Tori, but it was pretty obvious after that that he was way more than just a random new student. So far I had viewed Tori as an angel. One who brought joy and light to all. But this was a new Tori. She was livid. Her beautiful eyes that always reminded me of a clear ocean. But when she saw Winston, her eyes were dark and stormy. Darkness seemed to surround her. It was kind of scary. But, I guess if my ex-girlfriend, who did something to me shows up out of no where, blaming me for something I didn't do, I'd be pretty angry too. When her fight with Winston was over, she stormed out of the room, with what looks like tears streaming down her eye.
