Emerald POV
Jonathan and I finally reached our new school after a 15 minute walk.
Sir Charles High School Academy
I see guys and girls our age walking in through the front entrance but I couldn't see any of our friends from elementary school
We kept walking towards the main gym, where older students have told us to go. Volunteers I guess.
New faces were all around me. I know its bad to judge but some looked mean and some looked nice. Others went all out on their outfits compared to me
I looked sideways to see what Jonathan was wearing, while walking towards the gym, and saw that he was wearing a plain grey shirt under his plaid red button up shirt that showed the outline of his muscles. Nothing unusual there but when I looked at his hair..
"You fixed your hair" I stated
"Huh? Oh yeah, what do you think? Do I look handsome yet?" He winked in a joking way
I just laughed at him. "You look like a monkey with funny hair"
He scrunched his forehead and faked an offended look. "I'll pretend I never heard that"
I laughed even harder "please don't ever do that face ever again!"
He started to laugh with me but stopped abruptly when we reached the doors to the gym
"Well this is it. Once we go in there, there's no backing down" He said in a jokingly way. He didnt say it but I know that he was scared of this new chapter in our lives.
I patted his back as a way to reassure him that everything will be alright.
He nodded and started walking in the gym with me behind him.
When we got inside, I was taken back by how big and how much people are inside, sitting down on the floor of the gym in what seems to be the homeroom classes.
"Hi and welcome to Sir Charles High School Academy" suddenly said a very bubbly girl to my right. I was surprised by her that I accidentally hit the person behind me with my hair when I turn to look at the girl.
"Umm Hi" I responded quietly
"Have you found your homeroom yet?" The girl asked me. Her bright blue eyes stared at me and made me slightly uncomfortable.
I shook my head at her. "Where can I find out what my homeroom is?" I asked
"Oh over here" she walked to a list with people's names on it. I quickly grabbed Jonathan's hand and followed the girl to the list
I thanked her and looked for my name.
"What's your homeroom?" Jonathan asked
"I got 8I, what about you?"
"8C" He responded, looking a bit disappointed
"Hey. What's wrong Jonathan? Aren't you excited?" I asked, worried about him
"Well we've never been separated before. Not in our classes and not even in our homerooms" he said
"Don't worry too much. Its just the homerooms. Remember, we still have our classes" I reassured him "Now come on, let's go look for our homerooms"
He nodded and we started walking. He found his near the west exit of the gym while mine was at the south exit.
I was staring at him. Watching him already talking to others in his homeroom class. He was always the social one between the two of us. Soon he was talking to a group of people, including girls who are already starting to cling to him like dust.
"Hi. What's your name?" Someone suddenly says
I turn around and see a girl with long black curly hair, wearing a cute flowery dress. I smiled at her. "Hey, my name's Emerald but you can call me Em. What about you?"
"I'm Celine" she smiled back "He's cute. I can already tell, he's going to be very popular around here" she looked at Jonathan. Shit, she noticed.
"Oh" I laughed awkwardly "He's my best friend. He's very social compared to me. I'm the bookworm one"
"Really?! OMG ME TOO!" She responded enthusiastically. She and i started to talk about books until the assembly started
I barely payed attention because I was talking to Celine half the time and the other half was split into looking for others from the same elementary school and looking at Jonathan, checking how he's doing so far.
When the assembly finally ended, we walked to our homeroom classes as a group. That's where we got our classes, schedules and lockers
Although classes don't start until tomorrow, I decided to look around for my classrooms so I don't get lost tomorrow. Also because I couldn't find Jonathan
I was looking at the map of the school that was given to us by our teachers when a girl wearing barely there clothes, bumped into me. Making her spill her coffee.
"God! Watch where you're walking freak!" She yelled
Everyone looked at us while i stammered a sorry and walked away
God that was so embarassing! I decided to go home right after that. I don't want to stay there anymore. Jonathan knows where to find me if he needs to
