Harper Rose

Brooklyn High ~ Chapter 2

I wake up to the sound of grandma's vacuum.  Annoyed, I go downstairs and eat fruit-loops. I wear my Harley Davidson tank-top and ripped jeans, and my black vans. Sounds like an outfit any teen girl would wear, but really, I could barely afford anything else and got these as gifts from dad. Therefore, I go to school now.

I walk, listening to "Domesticated Man by The Jungle Giants."  Soon I pulled up to the school. The school was very big it had brick walls, and a lush green surrounding. There was a huge white fountain where some kids were sitting and talking.

When i went in the school, I headed straight to chemistry class after I got my timetable. When I walked in, everyone was staring at me, it felt uncomfortable as hell. I was late because I had no idea where to go. I sat down beside a girl, she looked annoyingly bubbly, blonde hair, blue eyes, pink t-shirt, white jeans, and a lot of makeup. The typical barbie doll.

"Hi! My names Aspen, I'm so excited for chemistry although Mr.Kim is quite rude sometimes!" Aspen shouted across the classroom causing everyone to stare. 

I gave her a cold stare indicating to not talk to me, and she didn't for the rest of the class, probably was scared.

"Alright class, today we're going to be introducing ourselves before we start." The teacher said.

I already hated this teacher, too enthusiastic.

"I'm Mr. Kim. Okay, why don't we start over here. What's your name?" He pointed to Aspen.

"I'm Avery Mcousky! I'm so excited to participate in this classroom!" Avery said. The whole class giggled at her excitement  already.

"Okay! What about you?" He pointed in my direction. I thought to myself of course just my luck me being the new girl and having to introduce myself.

"Uh, I'm Harper," I quietly said

"Does this Harper have a last name?"

"Harper Rose."

"Well, very good."

By the time he finished going through the class, the period was over.

It was lunch, I had nothing to eat but my granola bar and diet coke, sounds funny but I didn't want to eat the cafeteria food and my grandmother has not gone shopping yet so that was all there was. I could feel how everyone was looking at me, whispering as though they thought I couldn't hear what they said.

"Oh my god, she looks so cool, her name's Harper right?" A girl whispered to her friend.

I couldn't stand it, how people were talking about me, fascinated by my presence people are acting like a six year old when they get a shiny new toy. I stood up, wore my headphones, and walked as fast as I could out of the cafeteria, not caring about anything around me anymore.

As I was walking not knowing where I was going, and was walking like the speed of light. I suddenly bumped into some ignorant bitch. Unfortunately, I fell. Looking up I saw a guy. He had dark brown hair and a nice face. He was wearing a black hoodie and jeans. He looked like your typical popular guy. 

"Let me help you up, Harper," He said smiling

I looked at him funny, how the hell did he know my name? I was new to this school. I pushed his hand away and attempted to get up. Fuck, I thought. I can't get up, was that fall really that big? 

I let him help me up since I couldn't do it myself. I wanted to walk off by myself but he pulled my arm back and I could see that he wanted to start a conversation.

"I'm sorry, It's my fault," the guy said reaching his hand out to help me up.

"Let go," I demanded 

"Is that all you're eating? Granola and coke, huh? I could buy you lunch," he offered. I don't want to eat lunch from a guy I don't even know. I've had experiences with guys like him, all they want is one thing, sex. 

"No thanks, I don't take offers from a fuckboy" I stated coldly.

"Ouch" He said with a smirk, still holding my hand. 

I attempted to pull away but he still kept my hand in his grasp.

" I'm Chase, and I'm in your chemistry class," he said  with a large smile showing off his perfect teeth. 

" I honestly don't care, why don't leave me alone and let me eat my lunch." I gave the best fake smile I could give, and walked away finally pulling out of his grasp.

"C'mon, have a little fun!"

"Shut up already."

"Loosen up baby girl, before I do this-"

"Ugh." I began to walk away but before I could even take two steps, I felt hands grabbing me by the waist and legs. I heard him laughing at my reaction of him carrying me bride style.

"What the fuck! Put me down!" 

"I'll carry you the rest of the way unless you agree for me to buy you lunch."

"Fine! Goddamn." He put me down, laughing. Once he put me down I stared at everyone and they quickly turned back to their meal pretending they saw nothing. Why would you carry me that way, oh my lord.

He grabbed my arm again, and dragged me to the lunch line where today, they sold pizza and apple juice.

"Two pizza's and one apple juice please." Chase said as though he knew what I wanted. I do have a soft spot for pizza.

"Right! Two pizza's and one apple juice coming right up boo!" The lunch lady shouted in excitement. I questioned that, "Boo," really?

"Wanna go outside and eat?" He grinned.

"No, I'm eating alone."

"Nah, you're coming with me." What's with this guy? What does he want with me? Probably playing me. We walked outside to one of the benches and sat down. I sat across from him and he sat with his elbows rested on the table and his back hunched over, and his eyes looking straight for mine. I don't like that, I feel uncomfortable.

"You're blushing," he smiled

"I'm not," I said as I eat my pizza in silence. "So, what do you want with me?"

"Nothing, just wanted to treat the new girl." He poked my nose.

"What? What was that?"

"Harper, your grey eyes, ivory skin and dark hair is actually beautiful..."

"Was it supposed to affect me in anyway? You're weird," I mumble 

I honestly don't get this guy. He basically forced me to eat lunch with him and I don't even know him.

JEBUS! I JUST WENT BACK TO OUR SECOND CHAPTER AND WOW! LOL IT IS TERRIBLE. WE HOPE TO GET BETTER THE NEXT TIME WE WRITE :o
