Could you be my one and only?

"One time you asked me why I loved you." I said with tears in my eyes, "So I'll start from the beginning."

(1st day of sophomore year)

my name is Maria, but I go by May. It's the first day of sophomore year. And for the 5th time I moved to a different school. I'm originally from Los Angeles. But now I'm moving to a boring town in Texas called Troy. I'm hoping I won't be an outcast like I was my last three schools. But I'm sure it's going to be exactly the same.

Walking into my homeroom and seeing new faces was extremely nerve wrecking. I immediately felt judged, I was suddenly worried about my outfit and the lack of makeup on my face. I saw a vacant seat in the corner and made a beeline for it. I didn't hear the teacher call my name until he was hovering over me. His big broad shoulders and a very stern face made me jump.

"Are you Maria?" He said sounding annoyed.

"Uuhm, yes. But I go by May."

"Well May, I do not recognize you so I'm assuming you must be new. Correct?" He spat

"Uh yes sir."

"Well I don't know where you're from but here we have rules. And one of those rules happens to be pay attention!" he slammed my schedule my desk and stared at me.

"Do you understand miss?"

"Y-yes sir."

" Good, then report to your first period on the schedule. And have a nice day."

"N-now?"

"Y-y-y-yes!"

He was making fun of me. I could hear the muffled laughter in the slightly over crowded room. I stared him in the eye as he looked around feeling accomplished.

" Are you freakin serious. It's the first day! I'm new. Cut me a break! I'm nervous. Quit picking on me for personal gain. I'm a sophomore not some little kid that's going to sit here and take your funny "guy sh*t!""

"Oh, we got a bad*ss here don't we!? Well young lady you've just earned yourself a detention on the first day! I hope that little outburst was worth it!"

He walked over to his desk, with every step his fat face jiggled. He could kill me in one punch and I just went off on him. What the hell is wrong with me. I knew I should have taken 2 pills this morning instead of one. I had a gut feeling something would happen. Not the first hour though. I guess I don't have as much self control as I once did.

He handed me the detention pass with a smirk.

I walked out of class and into the office. the woman at the front desk smiled, with her sincere grin there also were premature wrinkles, laugh lines and stray hairs on her upper lip. She was wearing a purple v-neck that revealed a little too much and she had brown and gray hair pulled back in a high ponytail. Her name tag said Lisa.

"Hi, are you confused on were to go?"

"Oh no actually I got a detention."

Her smile turned into a light chuckle.

"Is that from Mr. Smith?"

I looked at my pass and saw Mike Smith written in fancy cursive

"Uuhm, yes it is."

" Oh well I'm not surprised, he always sends at least three kids on the first day. Never this soon though. Here, Hand it to me, I'll shred it."

She reached a shaky hand out to me and grabbed the lemon yellow piece of paper. She reached under her desk and a very loud whine went through the entire office that made me jump back.

"There you go! All gone! You can sit here until the end of the period so you don't have to go back to Mr.Smiths room."

"Okay thank you very much!"

I sat in the chair closest to the front door. And got lost in my mind.

" I could run out of the door jump in my car and drive away." I thought, " back to LA back to my friends back to my mom. Back to my home." I felt a lump in my throat but I held it back. I'd already achieved a detention on my first day I didn't want to be known as the cryer too. I was pulled out of my thoughts when someone walked through the door.

A boy, probably 2 or 3 inches taller than me with thick puffy black hair sticking in every direction. He was wearing jeans with holes in the knees and a black Rolling Stone shirt with some black converse and a couple of bracelets on his left wrist.

"Hi I'm Jason Wright. I need help finding room A103."

I heard him speak and it was like a dream. I didn't know what I was doing but just sorta happened.

"I'll show him!"

Lisa laughed. "Go right ahead. Makes my job easier."

"Why did I jump up like that! I'm new. I have no idea where I'm going!" I thought to myself.

"Here ya go." Jason handed me the room number.

"I'm Jason." He said in a raspy morning voice.

"I'm Maria, but you can call me May."

"Nice to meet you May." Jason smirked.

I held back a smile of my own.
