I toss and turn in my bed and look over just in time to see the sunrise peaking in through my curtains. Then I roll over and look at the time, 7:45.. Gosh why am I awake so- wait, IT'S 7:45!!! I'm gonna be late for my first day at my new school!
I hurry up and put on the outfit I had laid out the previous night and put my beloved toms on my feet. I quickly plug in my curling iron, fixing some of my natural blonde curls to look more presentable and throwing on some quick light makeup before heading downstairs.
"bye mom, bye dad!" I yell as I run through the kitchen, grabbing a granola bar.
"bye honey! don't forget your mother and I won't be home till late this afternoon!" My dad yelled after me
as I start my car and speed out of the driveway.I made it to school at 8:05 and went straight to the front office.
"Name dear?"
"Ally....Carter," I say trying to catch my breath,"it's my first day."
"Ah, yes Ally. Heres your schedule." she says handing me a piece of paper, " Now, lucky for you one of our top honors students in your grade has all of the same classes with you so he'll be showing you around for the next couple of days."
"Okay, thank you" I tell her, smiling.....he better be hot.
"Your very welcome sweetie! Let me just call him" she gets on the intercom and calls his name "Marcel Styles please come to the front office, Marcel Styles."
As I sit on the bench in the front office waiting for Marcel I start to wonder, How cute was he? I already know he's smart because he's in classes with me, and I'm pretty smart... I was ranked number one in the class at my old school. we had to leave because my parents said my dads job moved him which is strange considering I thought the company he worked for was local but maybe they are trying to spread, who knows! My thoughts are interrupted when a little nerdy boy walks in, I say little but he's actually pretty tall. He's got thick black framed glasses with tape in the middle, he looks like he could have some muscular arms but I can't tell because of his thick sweater.
"Are you Ally?" He asks me.
"Yes" oh god, please don't be Marcel, please don't be...
"I'm Marcel"
"We'll it's very nice to meet you Marcel!" I say as kindly as I can, this boy better enjoy being number one because he's going down!
"You too, come with me," so I do as I'm told and follow him out of the office and into the hallway.
"We have English first with Mr. Cooper which is in room 200, now rooms 200-300 are in building 2 and th-" just then two gorgeous guys walk by (and they are totally checking me out) one has tan skin and dark hair and another has blonde hair and bright blue eyes who winks at me and I secretly melt on the inside but just simply force a smile back.
"Who's that?" I interrupt referring to the two guys.
"Oh umm.. Dark hair is Zayn Malik and the blonde is Niall Horan, those are the two most popular guys you'll find here."
"Oh...jocks?"
"Actually no, singers. They're both trying out for X-Factor in a couple months." He said.
"Oh, I see." We walked the rest of the way in silence. When we got to the classroom, class had already started and there were only two seats left in the back so I had to sit by Marcel. In class we read a section of Romeo and Juliet and then got with a partner and discussed it. Mr. Fitz said your partner is the person seated behind you, which for me was Marcel. Oh lord. I turn around to see him cleaning his glasses on his sweater vest clearly not paying any attention to me. I gently clear my throat to get his attention.
