The Wall We Built

Chapter 8

It was morning, I was in the cloths that I wore last night when I was drawing... Oh crap I fell asleep!!! I grab my phone to check the time.  It was seven, I only had thirty minutes to get ready... Why didn't anyone wake me up. Ugh my family sometimes. 

"Thanks for waking me up guys I appreciate it." I said in an irritated tone.

I rushed back to my room found the nicest pair of jeans in my dresser and the cutest shirt I had.  I found my cowboy boots and my new belt I got during my birthday.  I rushed into the bathroom and put my makeup on... Not to much and not to little but just right... I was ready to go within twenty five minutes and I was out the door and on my way to a place they call school which is actually a disguise for hell. 

...............

We arrived at the school... Jackson Jr. High... My least favorite place in the world.  Every time I show up I feel like everyone can see through the wall that I have tried to build but it just keeps crumbling down.

As I'm walking to the cafeteria... not at all watching where I'm going I run into someone and I fall... Ha which is the perfect thing for the first day of school.  "Omg I'm... I... I... I'm sorry I wa... wasn't paying attention to where I was going." I said nervously.  I looked up and his eyes were so familiar... Then I remember back at Lilly's house the wolf... His hazel eyes.  It threw me off guard and I bet you my face looked completely priceless... Like a complete idiot. 

"Its okay... Um it was my fault.  I should have been paying better attention." He replied.  "Ah... Hi... I... I'm Conner."

"Hi I'm Lydia." I didn't know what else to say so I left with that.  I didn't want to make anymore of a fool of myself than I already had. 

As I walk into the cafeteria I see all my friends rushing back to their seats... Of course... Monica probably watched me run right into one of the hottest guys in school just to see what would happen.

"Hey Lydia what was that all about... Did you run into him on purpose??" Asked Angel with such an expression that seemed to taunt me. 

Angel is one of my bestest friends.  She has the right of picking on me anytime she wants to.  After all its not really in her nature or at least you don't think so at first but once you have gotten to the extent of where we are in our relationship there is no going back. 

"You know you could have made just a little more eye contact than that.  You know actually look at his face and no the ground." Said Gabby with a smirky tone.

"Can you guys just please give it a rest its not like that is going to happen again.  I mean come on its not like it matters if I looked at his face.  I ain't got a chance." I snapped not wanting to talk about it.

.....................

The bell rang and we all piled inside... Its not like any of us want to be here so I don't get why everyone pushes and shoves through the door.  I make my way to my locker and rush down to the technology room... my first hour class... Ugh I cant handle the class its to boring. I walk inside and take a seat and sure enough... just my luck mister all mighty and popular walks in and takes a seat right next to me and the only words that come out of his mouth are... "Do you want to be my lab partner?"
