My Type Eh?

Chapter 1: All High and Mighty

Harper's POV

I sat in my new room, playing on my phone. Until Devon came barging in. "Yo, ever heard of knocking?" I asked.

"Huh? No, anyway I'm heading out with some new friends. Also Mum and dad are out.....again. Bye loser." He said, leaving the door open.

"PRICK!" I screamed at him as I get up to close it.

Okay, so you're probably confused right now. Hi, I'm Harper Skilmar; that was my douche of a brother Devon. As for my parents, you'll meet them after they're done getting wasted. Anyway, I'm 16 and in grade 11. I'm the shy, geek, nerd; whatever you want to call it type. I spend most of my time alone. But most importantly, I just moved towns. So, now I'm going to a school full of people I don't even know. Anyway, lets get back onto what I was doing.

I heard the front door slam and noticed that Devon had finally left. I walked out of my room and headed to the kitchen. What I'm hungry? Anyway, I grabbed a container of ice-cream and a spoon. I sat on the bench and began to eat it. What? Stop judging me, I may eat a lot but I'm still as healthy as ever, and skinny.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEE-

I slammed my hand down on my alarm clock. Gotta try not and wake my parents. I got up and headed straight to the bathroom to do my morning routine. Just a little makeup, not too much and just brushed my short brown hair. I look in the mirror to realise that even though I brushed  my hair, it was still a mess. So I resorted to my best bad hair day tool, my beanie. I walked to the kitchen, grabbed my lunch I made last night, placed it in my bag and ate some yogurt and fruit for breakfast. I chucked on my converse and got into my car to go to school. It isn't anything flash, just a small car I bought from saving up.

It was still early in the morning, most people would be getting up right now. But that's just how I do things. If I ever wake up at the same time as my parents there is no going to school. I sighed as I remembered what it was like living with my actual dad, well before the alcohol one that is. Now I live my life in constant fear.

I noticed the school had come into view. I parked my car and grabbed my bag, and headed inside. As I walked through the school the early people began to stare and whisper. Okay, Harper, just stay calm. I walk to the office and quickly get my things. After searching I finally found my locker. I put in the pass-code and open it with ease. I put things in and take things out, nothing too special. By the time I'm done more people have arrived. Including my idiotic brother.

I pick up my bag and shut my locker, determined to get away from him. He's in senior year, no surprise there. He mostly hangs out with grade 11 (Juniors)  people though. Suddenly, I was pushed against the row of lockers, hard. I notice its some guy trying to get my attention, not to mention he is hot. But I'm not an idiot like most girls.

I look at him annoyed, half wanting to slap him and half wanting to just get outta there. "Why hello new girl," he 'purred'. I rolled my eyes pushing him away, with that I began to walk away. But as I was leaving I heard none other then my brother say, "HAH! You just got rejected by my sister! C'mon, give me my money." I groan and roll my eyes again, you can say I might have an attitude sometimes.

I get to homeroom and sit in the back, not bothering what time it is. I don't care if I'm supper early. I waited for class to start by reading one of my favourite books, Rowan of Rin. Yes it may be for a younger audience but I just love it.

I hear the bell and see students piling into class, and in no time everyone is in. Apart from the casual late people and the 'I'm sick' stay at home ones. Five minuets in and the teacher finally arrives. "Oh my gosh, so sorry I'm late guys and girls. The hall traffic was terrible, I can tell some people are going to be late," she began. I could tell she was one of the laid back, cool teachers.

In pops a few late students and they hurry to their seats. "Any who, sorry again. Now shall we start this day off with introducing our new student. Her names Haper Skilmar. Harper please introduce yourself," she says. I get a bit nervous, I'm a bit shy. I stand up from my seat and all eyes are on me. "H-hi, my names Harper, obviously. Um, I moved here not that long ago and I have a brother. Thanks!" I take my seat quicker then when I had stood from it.

"Why thank you Harper, I'm Miss Maker by the way, now lets do role-call," with that she began to call out names. I felt weird, like someone was watching me. I looked around to notice the one and only idiot from earlier. Ya'know the guy who thought he was all high and mighty and pushed me against the lockers then got rejected? Yah, well he was staring, no glaring, at me with the most mad and annoyed look ever. I just gave him an innocent closed eye smile and went back to listening to Miss Maker.
