Hey, it's been awhile, huh? (Aparri x Reader)

5- Beautiful school, Beautiful friends

I grab my f/c backpack and head off to school. Normally people would hate it, but I'm ecstatic. I can't wait. I've never been to an actual school, so basically this is a new experience for me. A new life changing experience.
I was walking to school when someone bumped into me. Scratch that, I bumped into them. It turned out them was a girl around my age with black hair and blue eyes. She was gorgeous - but looked tough. I immediately apologize and she smirks.
"I'm guessing you're going to Pines?" She says, her voice was deep. Enough to fool someone into thinking she was a grown adult.
"Y-yes." I squeak.
"Well, I'll show you around. By the way, I'm Gwen. Don't ask for my real name or I'll gladly beat your pretty little face into the sidewalk."
"Okay."

"And this is your schedule and locker combination." The front desk lady says. I thank her go back to my business. Gwen went to her daily life after she showed me where to go. I didn't want to bother, so I said a simple ok.
I put in my locker combo and it didn't work. I tried again, and no luck. Someone came behind me and said, "You must be new."
He. It was a he this time. And sadly, he was not James.
"Is it that obvious?"
"Yeah. I had that locker last year. Here, let me help you." he grabs my hands and shows them the way to open the dang locker.
It opened.
"Thanks.." I say quietly.
"No problem. Name's Fred."
"Y/n."
He takes my hand again and shakes it. But instead of letting go, he twirls me with his left hand. To be honest, I was embarrassed. But at the same time, I enjoyed it.
"Well I should be getting to class. I'll see you later Y/n." He blows his blonde locks out of his eyes and walks away.
"Bye.." I was mortified. What if he had a girlfriend? How many people had been watching?
"So you and Freddie boy eh?" A girl with a super giddy voice says. She scared me a lot.
"N-no not r-really I didn't expect t-that." I stutter nervously. God Y/n get over yourself!
"Well I'm Hayley! Feel free to talk to me any time!"
"Okay.. thanks. I'm Y/n." I smile nervously.
"What class do you have first?" I hand her my schedule.
•1st period- Homeroom
•2nd period- Choir
•3rd period- Social Studies
•4th period - Math
•5th period- Health/PE
-Lunch-
•6th period- Science
•7th period- Art
•8th period- ELA
•9th period- ELA
"Why are there two ELA's?" I wonder out loud, trying to find the solution.
"Well we usually do a lot of projects and read books in that class so we get a lot of time to finish that." She explains, beaming.
"Oh cool!" I am very fond of reading. Sure, I never read much books at Miss Matthews' but I enjoyed every minute of reading the Mortal Instruments series.
"Well we have Homeroom, Choir, and Science together." She pouts. "I wish we had more classes, but it's already March! They already changed our schedules. Anyways, let's get going. Mrs. C will let you get your textbook in the classroom. She usually scolds us for not bringing our books but you're new so."
"Yeah..."

"And today is about Edgar Allen Poe -" I open the door to see bored faces staring at me and Hayley.
"Hayley and- oh you must be Y/n!"
I nod slowly, hoping not to speak. "Please sit down next to Cassidy. Cass please raise your hand so she can see you."
Cassidy, a pretty blonde girl with gorgeous blue eyes raises her hand slowly. I sit in the seat on her right.
"Hi I'm Cassidy." She says quietly. I don't know if it was because of the teacher talking or what.
"Y/n." I reply just as quietly.
"Can I see your schedule?"
I nod and get my schedule out of my binder. I hand it to her quickly, thanking God that teacher is turning her face to the board.
She examines it for a few minutes before handing it back.
"We have all classes together except art." She says, grinning.
"Yay." I reply, one again, quietly.

Finally, lunch came. I haven't made any more friends since Cassidy. I silently curse myself for not knowing where I am going to sit. Of course, the is Hayley, but she probably has her own life.
I sit in an empty table by the exit doors. I got out a price of paper from my binder and start drawing someone. I personally don't know who I was drawing until I got to the eyes. How the hell did I get to some completely random person, to James?
"Whatcha got there?" It was Fred. He took my notebook and started examining my little sketch. "Is this some sort of lover or something?"
"N-no.." I say really nervously. Stop blushing! Stop stop stop!
"So he is." Fred smirks. Was he from your old school or something? Or did he cheat on you because I can gladly pound that basta-"
"Hey now! I didn't go to a school before this.." why exactly am I telling him this? Maybe I trust him?
"Homeschooled?" At this time, he sits in the empty chair beside me.
"No..."
"You don't have to tell me ya know. I trust your privacy. Although I would much prefer you to tell me." He grins and winks.
So that's what I did. I told him everything. Every part about how my parents died, how I was in the orphanage, and James. But I left the part about my uncle out. That's too much for me to even think about.
"Sorry I asked." He mumbled.
"It's fine. It feels good to talk to someone other than people at the orphanage." I let out a small chuckle.
I didn't want to eat, but I'll be fine.

The day ended really nicely. The classes were fairly easy and hard, but fun.
I liked school.
And the face that I actually had friends made me have a high sense of optimism.
I The first thing I did was go on Hangouts. As I though, there were a few messages.
*Hey Y/n
*Y/n?
*Oh yea ur at school fml
*Well see ya when you get off
*Shouldn't you be off by now?
His recent message was just now, which read:
*I see you seeing these messages
*Great to hear from ya too
*:)
*Oh well how are you
*Terrible, you?
*Terrible as well, who is the person who made you feel bad?
*Lol no one. I'm fine. But I made a few friends
*Were any of them boys?
*Mmm 1 of them his name is Fred
*I'll kill him
*Why D:
*Because your mine
*You're* and also what do you mean by "You're mine"?
*Well you are my best friend lol
*I can have other best friends too ):(
*Well fine then. As long as none of them hit on you, you're ok
*:) I'm going to go, lemme know when ur next video is? K? K.
*Ugh fine. But you gotta check for yourself
*Fineee see ya
*Bye y/n
After we stopped talking, I immediately went downstairs to get some food. As expected, I was bombarded with questions.
"Y/n did you meet any boys?"
"How was your first day sweetie?"
"How many friends did you meet?"
"Okay okay, guys one at a time." I say, chuckling.
+-James' POV-+

It feels good talking to Y/n.
I feel more human.
I can't wait until next week. I can finally see that beautiful face of hers.
"Hey James! Have you talked to Y/n any?"
"Yeah. Every now and then, but-"
"Okay, do you like her?"
