Unwanted Attention

Chapter 2

As I sped walk down the hall I heard Josh call my name and ran up to me.

"I'm sorry about Harry. He's a jerk sometimes but usually he's very nice to pretty ladies like yourself." He tried to explain while chuckling.

"No, it's fine." I laughed to try to hide my embarrassment. I was starring at Josh and Harry, as Josh called him, caught me. I looked at my nails and started to play with the white nail polish that was peeling off and at the moment it was quite amusing. Neither of us spoke which caused an awkward silence.

"Do you need help finding your class or anything?" He asked smiling nervously trying to break the silence. I looked up at him and his eyes were twinkling as he smiled. I caught myself starring this time and looked at my papers.

"Maybe just my locker?" I asked.

"What's your locker number?" He smiled.

"121."

"It's just down the hall and to your left. Do you want me to walk you there?" He asked and I nodded. I could really use a friend right now seeing as though I have none. Josh walked me to my locker and showed me how to open it before taking off to his first class and as did I. I looked at the halls and there was almost no one left, everyone was in their classes. Great, now everyone is going to stare at me when I walk in like I just killed someone.

I checked my schedule and saw that my first class was gym. I love gym, it's one of my favourite things to do at school. I ran toward the dressing room and saw that no one was in there. Shoot, they're all out there already. I quickly changed into my black spandex, my new Green Day t-shirt and my yellow Nike running shoes. Once I got into the gym everyone was in a circle hitting a volley ball into the air so they didn't really notice me. Thank god. I ran over to the gym teacher and introduced myself.

"Hi I'm Anna. I'm new here, sorry I'm late." I smiled politely.

"No problem hun, go join the rest of the ladies." She smiled. I think I'm going to like this class the best this semester.

I jogged over to the circle of girls that were hitting the volley ball into the air. I tried to squish into a few spots but all the girls would fill in the space so I wouldn't be able to join.

"Hey you, come here." A girl motioned me towards the circle. "Stand here." She smiled with perfectly aligned and perfectly white teeth. Her hair was ombré, her eyes were a dark brown and she was on the light side for body weight.

"What's your name?" She snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Anna, Anna miller."

"I'm Stacey, Stacey Smith." She replied and smiled again. "Mine!" She called out as she bumped the ball across the circle.

"Nice to meet you Stacey." I said and smiled.

"You too." She laughed.

Stacey and I continued talking as we did a lot more volley ball drills until class was over.

"Good first day ladies! See you all tomorrow!" Our teacher called out. I still haven't figured out her name yet, ill have to ask her next time. Back in the change room Stacey and I talked about our next class which ironically was math and we have it at the same time. I walked with Stacey to class because one, I had no idea where I was going and two, I don't want to be alone.

We both walked into class and she made her way to the back of the class. I usually sit at the front but I guess there's always room for change. I followed Stacey to the back of the class and sat in the seat beside her. Just before class was about to start Josh walked in behind Harry and Niall. I looked at Harry and he looked back at me so I quickly looked in a different direction. I don't want to associate with him. He will ruin my plans for university. Josh looked around the class for a seat and his eyes lit up when he saw a seat next to me. He made his way to the back of the class and was about to sit down before Harry slides into the seat.
