Distant Love~ Jacob Sartorius Fanfiction

New Kid

I have been moved around from home to home. I'm a foster girl, and I can't seem to stay grounded. I am constantly changing homes. I most recently moved in with this amazing family, the Sarons, in Virginia. I moved in with them during the summer and since I'm only 15 I still have to go to school.

"Come on Katie first day of school you don't want to be late!" Max screamed at me from down stairs " I'm coming hold on!" I yell right back from the bathroom. I ramble about Max yelling and him hurrying me up. I here a banging on the door. "Come on were going to be late!" Max says through the door. I open the door and look at him with wide eyes " I said I was coming god." I walk down the hall to my room " Oh where are you going now?" I grab your backpack and walk down the stairs with out responding to my "brother".

I have always dressed up for the first day of school but this year I didn't give it much thought. I was wearing my light washed, ripped, skinny jeans, a plan black tee shirt with my black and white flanal around my waist. And for the finishing touch, my favorite white converse. My hair was down in soft waves.

I hoped on the bus and sat next to Max because I didn't know anyone else. I tried making friends over the summer but didn't have much luck. Max told me about his best firend that was away for the summer, but he never told me his name. It's really weird and I don't understand it but what can you do.

The bus ride wasn't to loud especially since I had my ear buds in the whole time. Music is my escape from the world. I can't live without music. I played saxophone for my last school and I hope they let me play it this year. At one point Max looked at my phone and just smiled. He probably noticed that I was listening to Sweatshirt by Jacob Sartorius. Criticize me all you want, it's a good song.

The bus sequels to a stop and we get off. Max leads me to the front doors were we wait for the bell to ring. Max and I are both in tenth grade so at least I have him. He leads us over to a group of his friends. He introduced me to all of them. And I stayed quite as they talked. After about five minutes of waiting the bell rings and once again I follow Max to our house.

"Let me see your schedule." He says holding out his hand. "Here." I hand him my folded schedule and search for another song to play. "We have third and seventh period together." He says handing the paper back. " Well what about the rest?" I ask looking up at him. Max is about 5'8 and I am only 5'1 so I have to look up at him and just about the rest of the world. " You have to make friends some how Katie." He says patting me on the head. He nows I hate that. I sigh and continue to sing in my head.

My first class is math. The most boring class to start of my day great. My teacher is Mr. Gleason. I can tell he is going to be a "great" teacher. I spent most of the time chewing my pencil and tapping my foot. Like every frist day we didn't learn anything so there was no reason for me to pay attention. Gym is second hour and it went by so slow.

My third hour is reading with Mrs. Joseph. I got sat next to this guy named Brad. I'm pretty sure he's one of Max's friends but im not sure. Max sat in the front and I was in the back. Which is ok with me, just means I don't have to pay attention to much she says. After third and fourth hour was lunch and "free time" .

I was following Max when I heard someone calling him. I tapped Max on the shoulder and pointed in the direction of the soft voice. I couldn't see who it was, all I saw was a hand waving. Max must have seen who it was because he stared to walk toward the person. I walked slower behind him. Max and a boy did a "bro hug" (You now when they don't hug all they do is pat each other's back weirdly, yeah they did that). I had my back up against the wall waiting for Max to come back.

"Who's this?" I her a strangely familiar voice say. I look up and my eyes meet with the most beautiful hazel ones. I knew exactly who this was. "Jacob I'd like you to meet my foster sister Katie. Katie this is Jacob, but I think you already know who he is." Max said with a huge smile. I realize I am staring at Jacob and quickly look down. " Oh yeah I know him," I say blushing. " I only follow him on about every social media ever."I look up and see Jacob chuckle. " Its nice to meet you Katie." He says staring down at me. " Nice to meet you to." I say blushing even harder.

The last bell finally rings. The kids flood back into the hall ways as I struggle to get past. I try my best to weave in and out of other people but I eventually run into someone and my papers go everywhere.

"Sorry." I say kneeling down to pick up the papers that are scattered around the hall way. " No I'm sorry here let me help you." I look up to see those hazel eyes again, Jacob. I get up off the floor and Jacob grabs the papers and books from my hands. " I'll take those," He said. " Well lead me to your locker." "Oh sorry."

He puts my things in my backpack and hands it to me. " You didn't have to do that you know." I say in my "flirty" voice which is also the "I'm shy as fuck" voice so. " Well it was the least I could do for my new neighbor." He said as we started to walk down the crowed hallway again. " What neighbor?" I say very confused. " Wow Max didn't tell you anything did he? I live in the house next door, I just wasn't there all summer I was on tour." " You mean the blue one?" I say trying to contact the dots. " Yep that's mine." " Oh cool." I look at my phone and put in my ear buds. I turn on Hideaway.

"Whatcha listening to?" Jacob asks. " Well why don't you listen for your self ." I say handing him an ear bud. He takes it and puts it in his ear. " Hey you want to walk home with me?" He says. I blush and say " Sure I have to tell Max though." " Oh I already asked he said it's alright." He says slightly blushing himself and I say ok.
