Down The Rabbit Hole

FOURTEEN

I started walking into history again I was on edge just really really anxious you know? I took a seat in the back and waited for the other students to come in.

Maybe I'll get some more reading done while I wait.

I pulled out my copy of Jane Eyre. I love this book dearly the characters feel so real like dear friends of mine.

I was just to the part when Jane refuses Rochester, when I felt someone tap my shoulder.

I closed my book and looked up. There standing next to me was a boy about my age with curly black hair and ocean blue eyes.

"You're in my seat." The stranger said.

I quickly gathered my things and gave him my seat.

This can't be real!

I continued to stare at this guy in front of me.

"You must be new here?" He asked.

"Yes uhm it's my first day here." I said very lowly.

"Oh well my apologies I didn't mean to be so rude about my seat." The boy said giving an nervous smile.

"No it's alright I understand." I said with a shrug.

"So love have you got a name?" He asked still smiling.

He should smile more.

"Yes my name's Jo--." I began but was interrupted by someone already yelling my name and running towards me.

"Josie! What're you doin' ere?" Keith said giving me a bear hug.

"Well I'm in this class." I said still not have come to grips of the situation.

"Well if it ain't the little red headed bird from this morning." Paul said with a wink.

"Hello love how are you?" George said with a smile that was rather infectious cause I began to smile myself.

"I've been good still a bit on edge, being new." I answered shyly.

"It's just the new school jitters, you'll be right as rain by Wednesday." Ringo said trying to reassure me.

"I hope so." I said in a quiet voice.

"Of course you will cause we'll be here to help ya." John said putting his arm around my shoulder like we were dear friends.

"Is someone gonna tell me 'ow you know the new girl?" The boy from earlier asked curiously.

"She's me neighbour." Keith said proudly.

"No she isn't, I've met your neighbours." The kid next to the brunette said.

"She might be one of the new ones on the corner we 'aven't met yet." Said the boy sitting on the other side of the blonde boy.

"Don't be daft those folks are an elderly couple." Said the boy from earlier.

"He means our lockers are next to each other." I said giggling at their little argument.

These three guys look oddly familiar now that I've gotten a clear view of them.

I was trying to figure just who they could possibly be.

"'ey guys look what I can do, I finally mastered it yesterday!" The blonde screamed while whipping a yo-yo around. "Pretty neat huh?" He added sting doing his trick.
