I was walking down the hallway trying to find Natalia but I just couldn't. Time was running out and I couldn't be late to class on the first day of school so I ran to my classroom. "Ok room 208." I said to myself. I opened the door and half of the class was already sitting at their desks so I was embarrassed but not that much. I found a seat in the back of the room and I plopped my backpack on the floor. "Ah Ms. Keller, how are you today." My teacher Mr. Fice said. He was a scrawny short man with a head full of blonde hair. "I'm doing fine Mr. Fice thanks for asking." I didn't want to draw attention to myself so I spoke really low. "Oh I can't hear you Ms. Keller would you mind come sitting here in the front?" I was scared he would say that but I had to comply because who wants to get in trouble on their first day at a new school right? So as soon as that class ended I had a free period because I hadn't picked an elective yet so I decided to go to the courtyard and maybe mingle. As I was stepping down the stairs I saw her , Natalia. I could see her beautiful smile but to my dismay she was hugging a guy and she seemed very much in love. "Why am I feeling like this. What's going on, am I confused , am I falling for her?" To be clear I never really thought myself to be homosexual so these feelings for Natalia were all new to me. As I made my way back into the building someone tripped me. There standing upfront of me was a big scary girl with a scary grin and basketball shorts. "Get up shorty!" She said to me in what was THE most manliest voice I had ever heard. "Who are you?" I asked her. "Why do you care pussy, trynna get me ?" I felt so disgusted at her improper grammar. "Excuse me but I think I should go" I told her but even before I could take a step forward she pushed me down and I fell on my knees. I really didn't think I would be able to make it out of there alive.
