I stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel off the rack, wrapping it around my wet body. It was the first day back to school so I decided to get an early start. I walked out of the bathroom and across the hall to my bedroom. Leaving wet footprints along the dark brown hard wood flooring. I opened up my closet and took out a pair of skinny black pants and my black Led Zeppelin tee. Considering the weather in Chicago right now, I was probably underdressed. It was fairly windy and cold around this time, well most of the time. I walked over to my dresser and took out a pair of black underwear and a matching bra. I guess you can say I own a lot of black clothing.
As soon as I was fully clothed, I rolled up the black pants so that they went just above my ankles and grabbed a red and black flannel, tying it around my waist. I head over to my armoir and started to brush my long brown hair. I had no time to do anything nice with it so I settled with just blow drying it and keeping it back with a bobby pin.
"Brenna, breakfast is ready!" My mother called from the kitchen.
"Alright.." I shout back as I walked over to the bathroom once more to brush my teeth. When I got back to my room I quickly applied some concealer, foundation, powder, and most importantly mascara and eyeliner. My eyelashes were quite long so I made sure they stood out. When I finished applying my mascara, I winged my eyeliner and sprayed some perfume all over my body.
"You excited for school?" My mother asks me while handing me a plate of pancakes. "No.." I answer back annoyed. The only reason why I was even going to school was because my mother insisted I made some friends and left the house for once. I was perfectly fine with being homeschooled and she knew that.
"Don't be so shallow now, Brenna. Highschool will be fun! You know, when I first started highschool I was in almost all the same classes as your father." She said smiling and sitting across from me at the table. "I had a crush on him since that first day. And I knew he was the one for me. Now look where we are." She said taking a sip from her coffee.
"Well doesn't that make everything better.." I said sarcastically bringing the fork to my lips. "I'll just follow a random kid around in the halls and force him to fall in love with me. We'll live happily ever after.." I said taking a sip from my coffee mug and standing up from the chair.
"C'mon. It won't be so bad." She said standing up from her chair and walking towards me. "Just try and make the most of it, alright?" She says, pushing a strand of hair behind my ear. I sigh and roll my eyes. "Ok." I say one last time before grabbing my bag off the counter and walking towards the door.
The cool breeze outside left shivers on my exposed skin. I really should put on the flannel so that I don't completely freeze. But then I would just look stupid. I rather freeze my ass off and still be able to look good. If I want to make friends I need to at least dress to impress. Or else I'll be spending my lunch period sitting alone in the bathroom stall. Teenagers now a days can be pretty harsh.
As I walked through the doors of my new school I was greeted by many stares and dirty looks. Not exactly how I expected to start my first day, but any attention is good attention I guess.
I walked into the main office and recieved my schedule from a middle aged woman who I'm guessing is the secretary. I wasn't exactly sure of how attending an actual school would be. I was used to having class whenever I wanted to and going to the bathroom at any time I needed. But from my short time in an actual school, I knew things weren't going to be as easy and familliar as being homeschooled.
"Hi! My name is Emily! What's your name?" A tall, blonde girl with bright green eyes said as she streched out her hand for me to shake. "Um..I'm Brenna." I said in a flat tone. She must be a cheerleader here. I can tell by her enthusiasm and her gold and blue uniform with the word Warriors spread out across the top.
"So, are you interested in joining the Cheer team?" She says with a huge smile spread across her face. "Definitely not.." I say walking past her and heading down the hallway to my first class. I had drama first, then business. It will take me a long time to get used to this whole schedule thing.
I walked into the classroom and to my surprise there weren't as many people in here as I thought there would be. Maybe because it was only 8 and class started at 8:30. The chairs in the classroom were set up in a circle. There were three girls sat next to eachtother on the far left of the room. And two other students sat closest to the door.
As I stepped further into the room something caught my eye. It wasn't all the posters and paintings that covered the walls in the classroom that I was focused on, but the number of tattoos that covered the arms of a boy with a head full of curls and pale green eyes. He looked up at me as I sat down only a few seats away from him. He continued to look at me and stare at my appearance. His eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly as if he was going to say something, but instead he let out a breath.
It was weird. It seemed almost as if he was letting out a breath he didn't know he was holding. His eyes seemed darker as he continued to study my face. He ran his thumb over his bottom lip, and examined what I was wearing. I couldn't have felt anymore uncomfortable. He continued to look at me from across the room until the teacher walked in slamming the door extremely hard breaking him from his contact.
I was kinda relieved when he took his focus off of me and set it onto the teacher. I couldn't help but look at him every few seconds. He was fairly gorgeous. The way he took his bottom lip between his teeth and fiddled with the pen in his extremely large hands made me shiver.
I didn't know I was staring at him until I was taking off guard by the teacher asking me if I was going along with the class. I nodded and kept my focus on the teacher for the rest of the period. But my mind kept flashing back to the brown haired boy who I was some what interested in. I couldn't help but wonder what his name was and what type of music he liked. And the story behind the amount of tattoos covering his tanned arms. If there even was a story. He seemed like the type to just get a tattoo because he liked how it looked. He was very intimidating and it made me more interested in knowing him.
His stare was forwarded on me once more, making me uncomfortable again. I felt his eyes staring me down once more as I got up to go to my next class. I was almost at the door when I felt my arm being gripped. I turned around to see him. He was very tall, and his eyes seemed softer now, greener even.
"What's your name?" He asked, his voicy raspy but soft at the same time. I could hear the strong accent his uneasy words held. "Um, I'm Brenna." I say. He was truly gorgeous. And standing face to face with him made me weak, almost unstable. "That's a beautiful name." He said keeping his focus on my eyes once again. I felt my cheeks redden. "Thanks." I said. This coudn't get any more awkard, I thought. We stood in silence for the next few seconds.
"Well you should get to class." He said, rubbing the back of his neck. I nodded and flashed him a nervous smile. As I turned to leave the classroom I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned once more to see him still standing there.
"My name's Harry, by the way." He said placing his hands in his pockets and shifting nervously on his heels. I smiled at him once again and sent him a nod. He returned the awkward gesture and walked out of the classroom leaving me there with a name, and a million more questions.
