The Problems of Being a Hybrid

Chapter 2

I wake up to see that it's bright and early in the morning, 6 o clock. Why did I wake up so early? I'm not a morning person. EVER. I go to the washroom and wash up, not wanting to take a shower since I feel too lazy to. I change into black skinny jeans and an 'American Eagle' hoodie since its spring and kind of cold, brush my already straight hair, and make my way downstairs to find something to eat. I see my dad already there eating toast.

"Good morning dad."

"Good morning. You woke up early."

"Yeah, I know. For once I can actually peacefully eat breakfast at home and not shove it in my mouth as I race to school."

"Funny. Anyway, when you come home from school today, I have to tell you something. It's important."

Oh way to go dad. Tell me that you have something important to say 8 hours from now, making me wait all day long distracting me even more in class. I groan inwardly and grab a slice of toast that my dad had made for me. I take my bag and a water bottle and run to the car, not wanting to be late for school. As I drive I eat, and by the time the 10 minute drive to school is over, I have finished my breakfast as well. I take out the water I took and drink some of it, actually draining half way already. I make my way inside the school when I see a group of guys all staring at me. Weird. I don't think I've ever seen them before either. With one last glimpse their way, I join the steady stream of students walking inside and shove my way through. I go inside and walk to my locker, to see my best friend ever, Jamie waiting for me.

"Have you seen those hunky delicious guys outside school today?" she asks me as a get my books for today.

"You mean those ones sulking around the entrance? Yeah, what about it?"

"I've never seen them here before. Are they transfers?"

"Clearly..." I say as we walk off together towards our first class, history. We have history, calculus, and chemistry together, which is 3 out of the 4 classes that I have every day for this term. Plus, we also have lunch together. We walk and talk and we make it to our seats, just as the bell rings. We sit in the middle of the class next to each other, so that the teacher doesn't think badly of us for sitting at the back and talking. Not that we would anyway, our history teacher is the best ever, he makes history sound so interesting. For some reason, a bunch of seats are free, including the one to the right of me, since Jamie's sitting on my left. I try to think of who isn't here when our history teacher clears his throat. We all look to the front to see the guys who were hanging out in front of the school today. Immediately Jamie and I look at each other with wide eyes.

"Class, we have a few new students who are joining us today. They will be with us for the rest of the year. I want you all to be very kind and welcoming to them and assist them as necessary. Now, would you like to introduce yourself to the class?" says Mr. David.

"I'm Adam," says a particularly tall and muscular one. He has dark brown hair and blue eyes to contrast. Those sea blue orbs seem to be trained on me, or maybe I'm just imagining things.

"I'm Blake," says a blonde, who isn't as tall or ripped as Adam is, but does have some muscle.

"Kevin," says a dark haired guy with a nod of his head, and looks very skimpy.

"Vic," says another one who looks a lot like Kevin. Twin brothers maybe?

"Thank you boys, you may take your seats, and we can get started with the lesson for today," says Mr. David.

They all disperse to the various empty seats in the classroom, and Adam chooses to sit next to me. I decide to not be awkward and introduce myself.
