Not So Perfect

Chapter 1 || Invisable?

May's POV

I trudged down the stairs of my home. It was the time of the morning where I scrapped up what I could for breakfast. It wasn't that we were broke,  just the fact that my grandparents ate everything in the house. 

I fixed up breakfast for my little sister before heading back upstairs to wake her up and get myself ready.

I threw my flannel over my head keeping my tank top I sleep in last night on. I slipped into my skinny jeans. Quickly lacing up my converse I grabbed my backpack and began heading to the bus stop.

I carefully place my earbuds into my ears pressing play on my phone. The second week of senior year. Something I was quiet honestly not anticipating to end.

It was my time away from home. My time to be completely invisible. It was my time to do whatever I wanted. 

I stood silently waiting for my bus. Luckily I was the first stop and the only one at this stop. I was embarrassed. I carefully stepped onto the bus, knowing the bus driver was watching my every move- pervert.

I sat all the way in the back in the one seater. Trying not be noticed for the entire ride. As we pulled into the school parking lot. I automatically unbuckled and put away my headphones.

As I left the bus I blended into the crowd. I swiftly walked to my small locker and put in my lunch. 

"May" A voice called out

I looked around and spotted my best friend, Summer. We've known each other since we were little girls. 

"Hey" I said without much emotion

"Why so glum?" she said with a slight pout

I waved her off and we split off to go to our classes. I put the fake smile on my face as i entered Ms. Stinger's room. She was my science teacher. I sat taking a few notes and talking to some of the kids in my class. 

My next class was history with Mr. Keller. I moved slowly into the class. Seeing as it was only the first week of school I wasn't close with anyone. I enviously eyed the back row of the class hoping i could get there before it was full.

My hoping finally worked out. In the back row was just a girl named Anna and now me. I quietly sat down a few seats away from her. Mr. Keller began droning on before we were able to talk.

I began sketching while people were walking around and talking. I looked over and saw Anna sitting with her nose in a book. I looked curiously at her. She looked like the type of girl that would be siting and laughing with her friends.

  I looked away and continued my sketch. The bell rang and I quickly packed up my bag heading to lunch. As I made my way to the table I ran into my friend Sarah. 

"Hey May, whats up" she said slinging her arm over my shoulder

"Nothing mush just the sky and some clouds" I responded laughing

We made our way to our table. There sat my closest friends. Matt, Summer, Sarah, John, and Mack. I sat down slowly pulling out my lunch while talking. I only had Mack next period so I did my chatting.

The bell rang signaling it was time to leave lunch. I threw away my stuff and said goodbye to my group. I ran back upstairs to get my bag. As I left I saw Anna hastily grabbing her stuff and rushing out. Wonder what that's about.

I took my time heading to dance, seeing as I had plenty of time. As I got into the room I quickly dressed out into my black dance pants and a plain black shirt; our dance uniform.

We were being put into assigned seating today. I waked over and sat by Mack waiting for class to start.

The teacher began putting people in rows through alphabetical order.

"Anna there and May right next to her. Then I need Jordan here and then Lilly." The teacher droned

I walked over and sat by Anna. I tapped her knee.

"Hi. I'm May" I said shyly 

"I'm Anna" she said lowly.

I turned to the front of the room and waited for the lesson to start. We went over all the dance moves we should have learned last year and started coming up with a routine.      

"Alright I'm going to call you as a number and you'll either be a one or a two" the teacher yelled loudly

She went through all of us pointing and saying one or two to each person. I was a two and Mack was as well.

"Okay, now that you know your numbers split up into two groups and get in a straight line" she called out

She went through and put us into groups of two. Mack got stuck with Jordan and I was with Anna. I really looked at her for the first time. She was a little shorter than me and had long dark hair. Quiet a contrast of me. I was a striking 5'7 and had short hair with little dye in the front pieces. 

"Now we are a ballroom class so quite obviously we are going to ballroom dance. The partners you have now will be your partners for the whole year." she said and paused for all the groans "Now we are going to go over the Waltz. Ones are the leaders"

I took a step closer to Anna.

"Looks like I'm the leader" she said nervously

I nodded as she took my hands into hers. Electricity shot through my veins. I placed my hand on her shoulder and looked into her eyes. As we were waiting for the first count to start I looked at her eyes as she blushed. She had a magnificent color of blue green.

"You have really nice eyes" I said my own blush spreading across my face.

"Thank you" she said quietly as her cheeks turned a darker red. 

I looked up to see Mack staring at us. 

"Get some" he mouthed 

"Fuck you" I mouthed back

"Five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three..." the teacher began

Anna and I moved perfectly in sink as we glided across the floor. I looked up from our feet to see her already looking at me before she quickly looked away.

-

Third period bell rang and after talking with Anna a bit we walked off to fourth period together. I said goodbye to Mack as he carried on onto the second floor. 

As we reached our classroom we both departed into our seats.

I think we will become good friends.
