I wake up the next morning to my alarm clock. I push snooze and try to go back to sleep but then I remember, today was my first day of school. I roll my eyes to the thought and get out of bed.
I brush my teeth and curl my hair. I go and pick out a pink crop-top that says "GEEK" on it. I pull out some high shorts and my blue vans. And to top it off I put on my favorite bracelet.
I run down stairs and grab my bag and say bye to my mom. "BYE MOM!" I scream as I run out. "GOOD LUCK!" I hear her scream back.
As I walk down the sidewalk I put on my headphones and turn on "Back to the start" buy Somo. I wonder what it will be like here, I think as my anxiety rises. Yes I have anxiety. Its like a war between you and your mind.
I start to walk to the front doors and already hear giggling and feel the stares. I go to the office and get my schedule. As I'm standing there out the corner of my eye I see the door open. "Mrs. Smith sent me." I heard a familiar voice say.
"Okay so I will have someone show you around in just a minute." The lady spoke. Just then someone comes out of the nurses, oh no, Triston. "Oh Triston." The lady said before he left. "Yes?" He asked. "Can you show our new student around?" She asked pointing to me. I knew he recognized me.
He said yes we left. "So let me see your schedule." He said. I gave it to him and he said "okay we have first,forth, and fifth periods together." He said. "So follow me." He said. So I did.
He was asking all kinds of questions.
We got to first period and everyone turned and looked at me. I felt hot and nervous. "Oh I see you brought along our new student." I heard the teacher say as Triston took his seat. She told me to sit next to him since we already met.
I had to tell the class my name and all that stuff. I heard giggling from a group of girls. I got out my book and turned to the page that was wrote on the board. I just stared at the book not knowing WTF IS GOING ON!
I felt Triston looking at me a few times but I didn't mind really. I mean who wouldn't want them beautiful brown eyes looking at them?
Lunch
So I might of got lost a few times and now my mission is to find the lunch room. I walk through the crowded hall when someone runs into me. I drop my stuff and papers go every where.
"Watch where you're going!" He screams. I panic and try to grab my papers. "Are you OK?" Someone asked me. I look up and see Austin and some girl. They help me up and lead me to the lunchroom. "I'm Cristina by the way." She says to me. "I'm kait." I say.
Home
I get home and my moms not there. I shrug it off and decided to go swimming. I get outside with my sunglasses and get in. I hear a knock on the fence. So me being me I go look.
I open the door and Triston is standing there. I start blushing realizing that I'm only in a bathing suit. "Oh hey I was just uh wanting to see how your first day was." He says
"It was OK but now its better since I was swimming." I say. "Oh have you ever been night swimming?" He asked.
"No." I say. "Oh well Austin and his girlfriend are coming over tonight to go swimming. You can come if you want." He says I smile and accept.
That night
Its 11:38 pm and my mom is still not home. Not a shocker. I grab my towel and head over to Triston. His pool is so beautiful, there are neon lights at the bottom. Austin and Christina just got there and omg Triston has no shirt. KEEP CALM I tell myself.
I walk to him and he smiles. "Wanna get in?" He asked. "Yeah." I say. I didn't want to take off my shirt because I hate the way my body is. I finally take it off and Triston throws me in. I come back up laughing while he comes up to me.
I back up worried he can see me. I think he can tell. "You're beautiful don't worry." He said hugging me.
Austin and Cristina leave 2 hours later. Im just floating around when Triston asked me if I wanted to sleep over. "Sure." I say. We get out and go in. He gives me a T-shirt and some gym shorts. I go to the bathroom and change.
I walk back out and I feel him stare at me. I lay down while he puts him arm around my waist holding me close. I felt so safe. I put my head on his shoulder and he plays with my hair. I fall asleep soon after.
