Trouble

Introductions

"16 and 17. I'm Addison and this is Caden, today is our first day. Are you a teacher?" I make up quickly, smiling at her and hoping it doesn't look like a grimace. "Ah, well welcome to Riverview Academy. I'm Mrs. Norris, your principal. Have you two gotten your schedules yet?" she smiles back. "Actually we  just did. We might have some problems finding our classes though." I say. "That's okay, its expected of new students to get lost in this large of a school. My office is right over here, and you girls can come to me with any problems. I actually have a meeting to go to now, but it was very nice meeting you girls. I hope you enjoy school here." Mrs. Norris smiles and walks away, her high heels click-clacking all the way down the marble floored hallway. "Damn, its fancy here." Jesse says. I laugh and turn back around to face the woman who gave us our schedules. She is back to furiously typing on her computer. Jesse rolls her eyes and walks out. "Thank you." I say to the lady and quickly follow Jesse out into the hallway. "Please tell me that we have classes together." Jesse exclaims, grabbing my schedule out of my hand and comparing them. "Okay, we have first, second, third, fourth, seventh, and ninth together. Six out of nine, not bad considering fourth is lunch, and second, seventh, and ninth are free periods." She laughs. "Thank the fucking lords we have lunch together!" I exclaim loudly causing Alex to laugh in our ears. "Holy shit, I forgot you can hear everything we say! Better not talk any shit about you." I whisper-laugh. I can practically hear his eyes roll. "Okay, what do we have first period Je- Caden?" I stop myself from calling her Jesse. "Uh, English with Mr. Smith, room 166." she tells me, glancing at her schedule. A girl with long, shiny blue black hair walks over to us. "Hi, erm, I couldn't help but overhear what you said. I'm assuming you're new? I'm Kelly. I have English with Smith first period also, I can show you guys the way if you want?" she offers, shyly tucking her hair behind her ear. "Yeah, that would be great, thanks. I'm Addison and this is Caden, by the way." I smile and hear Alex yell into the earpiece, "BINGO!! We got our girl!!" I flinch slightly and hope Kelly didn't notice. We walk into a room and Kelly stops and turns towards us. "That's Smith, be careful, he always has an onion bagel and black coffee in the morning, so don't get within breathing range. He is super nice, just good luck with the breath thing." she laughs and walks to what I assume is her seat. Jesse and I exchange a glance and walk up to the teacher. "Can I help you?" he asks. "Uh, yeah. We're new. I'm Addison and this is Caden." I tell him. "Ah yes, I was informed that I would be getting two new students. Please stand off to the side for a moment." he instructs us as he stands us and claps his hands to get everybody's attention. The lights flicker. "Damn, I need to get used to that.?" he mutters to himself then looks out at the class. "He better not be doing what I think he's doing.." Jesse mutters. "Everybody, attention please! We have two new students, Addison Jones and Caden Scott. Please welcome them." he announces as he motions us forward. "Girls, please tell the class a little bit about yourselves." he tells us. "You can go first." Jesse smirks. I roll my eyes and step forward a tiny step. "Uh, hey." I say with a tiny wave. "I'm Addison, I'm 16, and I'm a photographer." I motion to the camera hanging by a strap around my neck. "Thank you Addison, Caden, how about you?" Mr. Smith asks her. She sighs and steps forward. "I'm Caden, I'm 17, and I'm an artist." she says and steps backwards. "Thank you girls, you can go take a seat." Mr. Smith points to two seats next to each other in the back of the classroom, sandwiched between two guys. "I call the seat next to the guy with the black hair." Jesse whispered. I rolled my eyes. "Go for it." I tell her. "No flirting." I hear Alex say sternly in my ear, knowing the message was for Jesse. I hide my laughter behind my hand. She glares at me which makes me want to laugh harder. The guy I'm sitting next to leans over and whispers, "You okay? You having a spaz attack or something? I'm Oliver, my friends call me Oli, but if you're single, you can call me yours." he smirks. "I am very seriously resisting the urge to smack this kid already." I hear Zack come over the ear pieces and glance at Jesse, seeing her crack up. I smack her lightly and look back at Oli. "Sorry, I'm taken, but we can be best friends!" I say in an overly sweet tone, hoping he notes the sarcasm. He scoffed. "You're funny, I like you." he raises an eyebrow, obviously testing if this was okay. "I like me too." I smile and turn to face the front, mentally dying at my sarcasm today. "Damn, cute AND feisty? I really like you. How tall is this boyfriend of yours? Think I could take him in a fight, winner gets you?" he laughs. "Mr. Sikes, do you have a problem?" Mr. Smith calls from the front of the room. "Yeah, this gorgeous girl next to me has a boyfriend that isn't me." he calls back, causing me to blush bright red and everybody else to crack up. Kelly spins around in her seat and calls back. "Good, nobody would want to be with you Oli." she scoffs and turns back around. Mr. Smith goes back to teaching and I turn to Oli. "Do you guys have a past or something?" I ask. "Kelly is my ex. She cheated on me. She thinks she's the best thing this school has ever seen because her dad has a lot of money or some dumb shit like that. She's a wicked stuck up bitch, you shouldn't hang out with her." he tells me. RING, RING!!  "No homework tonight class, except to read the last couple pages of Macbeth. Have a good weekend and see you Monday." Mr. Smith dismisses us. I take my time putting my stuff back in my bag, hoping Oli will leave. "What class do you have next?" he asks as I pull out my schedule. "I have a free period with Caden. What class do you have?" I ask, trying to be polite despite Zack's voice in my ear telling me to walk away from him. "I have science." he answers, looking sad. "Okay, well see ya around maybe. Peace." I say and run to catch up with Jesse. "So we have a free period, wanna wander and see what cool things this school has?" Jesse asks. I nod, thinking. "What are you thinking about?" Jesse asks. I shrug. "Just shit, I'll elaborate when the guys can't hear us." I laugh. "No, go ahead, pretend we aren't here." Zack laughs in my ear. "Nah, its girl problems." I say. "We can talk about it lat- SKAI LOOK! A MUSIC ROOM THINGY!!" Jesse yells, grabbing my hand and pulling me over to the door to the music room. I quickly look around. "Dude, be careful! Someone could have heard you!" I say. She rolls her eyes and pushes open the door. The room is empty except for instruments. I wander over to the recording booth and peer in, then quickly duck down. "We need to leave. NOW!" I whisper shout to Jesse. She raises an eyebrow. I motion into the booth. "Oli." I mouth. She smirks and walks over to the booth, knocking on the window. Oli looks up I imagine because she smiles and mouths my name, then points downward at me. The door opens a moment later and I look up to see Oli. "Uh, hi.." I say slowly, standing up and causally brushing my butt off. "Hi." he smirks. "Wait.. I thought you had science this period?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. "Haven't you heard of ditching class?" he laughs. "Yes in fact, I have smart ass." I retort. "Aw you think I'm smart." he laughs, causing me to roll my eyes. "Well, you two have fun, I'm gonna go see what else this school has." Jesse says, walking towards the door. "I'm coming too." I say, running after her. As I push open the door, I glance backwards and see Oli's face, contorted in what looks like... sadness. Ah fuck, what did I get myself into....
