Ryder’s POV

I raced into the classroom just as all hell broke loose. One minute I’m racing in apologizing and the next a girl punches this guy in the face. The class was in chaos. Until a voice boomed,

“Miss Pearson, report to the principal’s office.”She whipped her head around her brown locks falling around her. Leslie? Another girl jumped up as Leslie made her way down the stairs toward the door of the classroom.

“Mr. C, it’s not her fault! Jason wouldn’t leave her alone and then he licked her ear and she punched him. It was purely self-defense.” This chick was quite theatrical, and gorgeous. Leslie’s face burned red as the entire class stared at her.

“Miss Pearson, is this true?” Leslie nodded. “Very well, but from now on please refrain from using violence as a means of communication. And Mr. Langley you can get your rear to the principal’s office.” Jason grumbled and grabbed his books jamming them into his bag while still holding his nose. “It seems as though we are short on seats. But Mr. Langley won’t be rejoining us today so Mr. Smith you may sit in his seat next to Miss Pearson. And Miss Carter you may take your seat as well.” He resumed role call and Leslie and I made our way to the table on the 7th riser. We both sat down as Mr. C finished attention and then wrote notes for us to copy.

 I slipped Leslie a note as we mindlessly wrote them down. She read it and smiled, wrote something down then returned it. I looked at it and smiled as I scratched something back.

What an exciting first day, huh?

Oh yeah, my favorite way to kick off as the new girl

So, did he really lick your ear?

Yeah, scared the shit out of me and it was just reflex to hit him

Well it looked like you got him pretty good; you must have gotten your right hook from your mom

 She hit you?

Oh yeah, thought it broke my nose, I’m still not sure, check for me?

I moved my head around so she could see my nose from different angles, she laughed,

Your nose looks fine

I started to write something down but the bell rang and she was suddenly yanked to her feet by the beautiful blonde who defended her.

“Hi I’m Denise, Denise Carter, you must be new!” she had very bright blue eyes which lit up when she talked. That along with her wavy blonde bob that fell into her face and perfect smile made her very pretty and from all the people waiting for her at the front of the classroom, popular.

“Leslie Pearson. Thanks for helping me out earlier.” She said hesitantly.

“Anytime, Jason’s a dick. He’s my ex and gets a kick out of making new students uncomfortable. Never been punched before but that was way past due, he’s been pulling that shit since grade school when I first came here. Anyway, can I help you get to your next class? I can help you too if you need?” she looked at me.

“I’ll be fine, thanks.” I replied. Slightly overwhelmed by her enthusiasm.

“Okay, well, see you later.” She said smiling as she took Leslie’s schedule out of her hands. Figuring our time was up; I quickly looked at Leslie,

“Well, I should probably head to my next class.” She nodded,

“Yeah, me too, I think I’ve got like Physics or something.”
