They're Shy Together

Chapter 1: Meeting Her

Dipper's Pov

The week practically ended and I liked driving with my permit. "You're getting better Dipper, might get your license soon." The guy with me was my friend Patrick. He already had his license and he's been one of my best friends since like 9th grade. "Whatever. As long as i can drive to places without you." I said, and he pretended to look hurt. I chuckled and pulled the car into the school's parking lot.

I took a minute to park in the student lot, then walked through the front doors of hell- i mean school and went to the commons area while Patt went to go see his girlfriend, so he wasn't with me, but we were gonna meet in the library before class. Walking through the breakfast line, i just grabbed an apple. My eyes were closed walking to the library but i could sense people's presences as i was walking. I still managed to bump into somebody. "Oww." That was a girl's voice. Opening my eyes i helped her up. "Oh my, i'm so sorry. Are you.......okay?"

She was a vision of pure beauty. From her dark hair, to her gold eyes and her light caramel complexion, she was..... wow. I snapped out of my daze and handed her the bag she dropped. "Y-yeah, i-i'm okay. Th-thank you." She said not looking at me at all, and walked off. As the bell sounds for the school day to begin, i put my earbud back in and walked to class.

~hours later~

4th period was rolling around. I finally get to the door of my economics class. Why did we have to go to the other gym to run laps today!!!! I thought to myself. Already feeling my legs collapse, i went and sat in my seat. The 2nd bell rang and my teacher walked up to the front of the class. "Alright seniors, we have a new student joining us today." Oh great a new student. Hope the person doesn't piss me off like the rest of these humans do. I thought to myself and looked up. It was the girl from this morning. She shyly waved at the class as the teacher introduced her. "Class, this is Shyla Dawn, she has just transferred from being home schooled so please, help her out. You can take the seat in front of the boy with blue hair." The teacher said. She shyly nodded and took her seat.

After doing so, the teacher continued with the lesson. The girl turned and tapped my desk, causing me to look up. A shy wave and blush across her face was what i saw and all i could do was blush. "H-hi th-there." It look 3 minutes of intense silence for me to say that. "H-hi. I-i um...w-wanted to thank y-you for helping me w-with my things e-earlier...I didn't g-get your n-name to thank you p-properly." She stuttered, avoiding eye contact. "I'm D-dipper." I was so nervous around her i couldn't help but stammer over my words. I'm not sure how long, we had been making awkward small talk but within the time frame our teacher had apparently explained what we would be doing.

"And when you get back to class, we'll finish the PowerPoint." she announced as the bell for lunch rings. I watched Shyla from my desk as she stood and fiddled with the bottom of her skirt, seeming kind of lost. "Hey, umm i d-don't really go to lunch." I called out after her and she turned, looking at me through her raven black hair. "Do you wanna h-hang out i-in the l-library w-with me?" Maybe it was a trick of the mind or maybe it wasn't but i swear i saw her golden eyes light up a bit. "I n-never had a school lunch." She replied softly. She's been home schooled her whole life? "Oh trust me, It's nothing special." She giggled and I'd have to say it was quite a beautiful sound.

Shyla, after a few minutes of persuasion, finally agreed to coming with me to the library. The walk there was quiet, aside from the small talk. When we walked into the library, we were greeted by Ms.James the school's librarian. "Hello Dipper, well who's this?" Shyla seemed to freeze up from being noticed and let out a small squeak, before hiding behind me. "This is Shyla, s-shes new to the school." I said, trying to keep myself from stuttering. "A little shy friend for yourself aye?" Ms. James smiled and left us be. I led Shyla over to a set of beanbags and sat down. "W-what do you do i-in here anyway?" She asked, a little less squeaky now that she wasn't around Ms. J. "W-well, i either w-walk around, h-help Ms. J, or l-listen to music." i replied, stuttering with almost every word. Shyla tilted her head in a cute fashion and sat next to me on a red beanbag.
