Meeting Skies

Chapter 3

The halls are starting to seem normal again. I can hear the laughter of the students and the screaming as the halls fill up. Kids are starting to head to class four minutes after the bell has rung. I can hear a girl being disappointed at not being able to see the celebrity. How he wasn't even in the Escalade. One girl was actually crying.
It took 15 minutes for the class to settle down and up to this point everyone has been so obsessed with themselves that they haven't noticed the new kid.
When Mr. Bolton goes up to the podium everyone gets quiet and sits down because they know they would be making a bad decision if they didn't.
As Mr. Bolton starts talking I put one of my earphones on.
"Good morning family"
"Good morning" the whole class responds to his greeting.
"So we have a new kid today."
"Actually the pussy didn't come." That was Edward he's the class clown. Although he's not really funny.
"Well Edward I think your mistaken, because Alexander Skies is joining us today in this class."
I can hear the screaming of the girls and hearing those words come out of Mr. Bolton's class make my heart drop.
"He's actually sitting back there"
I turn to see Alex raise his shaking hand saying
"I came."
The class was silent.
"OH MY GOD! I cannot believe it! "
Vanessa screams, and that's when most of the class gets up and runs to him and surround him like he's the last piece of bread in a flock of pigeons.
"GIRLS CALM DOWN!"
Mr. Bolton yelled that phrase like six times until he decided to call security.
When security got here they took 3 girls to The principals office because apparently they tried to get him naked and were trying to steal half his clothes.
Mr. Bolton headed over to the podium again and said how in this class we will treat him like every other student, and he gave Alexander a chance to introduce himself. When Alexander gets to the front of the class he starts talking about his life and how he grew up in this area. And about his new movie that comes out in four months. No wonder I didn't know him, I'm not great with movies. They bore me easily and I prefer to read a book over watching the movie.
I could see were some girls tried to kiss his cheeks. He had lipstick marks all over his face and his button down shirt lost some of the upper buttons so it was exposing his chest. There was at least three lipstick stains across his chest, the beanie and the shades were gone. I could now see his perfect blue eyes. Now I understand why his last name is skies, his eyes are like the open empty space with the floating white cotton balls.
During the whole class nobody payed attention no matter how hard they tried. I looked around every once in a while to see if anything changed, but the same people were staring at him like he's a dog walking on his hind legs. Some girls kept trying to get his attention by waving at him and sending him notes.
When the bell rings and everyone is collecting their stuff to leave Mr. Bolton pulls me and Alex aside. He wanted us to wait in there for the halls to clear up since he didn't have a class that period. Some girls tried to take their time so they can soak up his presence, that was until Mr. Bolton kicked them out.

"Ok you're free to go, nice to meet Mr.Skies and I hope to see you tomorrow, here's a pass."
Mr. Bolton hands us our passes and I groan on the way out.
"What class do you have next?"
I ask him nicely to show him that I'm sorry. I don't usually apologize so I hope he gets it.
"I have um... Art 2 with Mr. Bello"
I mentally shoot myself in the face.
"Wow my day keeps getting better and better."
"What you have that class too?"
"Yes sir" I sigh. " You know you should let me see your schedule just to see what other classes you have with me."
He pulls out the folded paper for his pockets and hands it to me.
As I examine his routine for the rest of the school year I notice I will have to deal with him for five classes and lunch. Which is a lot because we only have seven classes the whole day, and for my luck he's with me most of the day. Eventually he'll find his click and not need me anymore but until that happens I'm stuck with him.
"Okay so we have first, second, fifth, sixth,seventh and also lunch"
"That's great"
He replies looking down at me, I can tell he was staring into my eyes. I bring my eyebrows together asking myself if he's serious.
"Sure it is Hollywood"
"Please don't call me that, just call me Alex"
As soon as he said that I wanted to punch him in his beautiful face. I hate having people tell me what to do.
"Look about this morning I-"
I interrupt him before he can even finish.
"It's fine Alex just forget it, I'll wash these pants when I get home anyway's."
As we were approaching Mr. Bello's I can tell Alex is nervous because I can hear his throat swallow the gulps.
"You'll be fine, the people here love you, it's the people like me that should be nervous."
