Chapter 1: First day of Junior Year

Ava (p.o.v):

Waking up at the sound of  your alarm is never pleasant, it's almost like a trigger. What is less pleasant is to get out of bed and hit your big toe on the corner of your night stand. "Ugh shhhhh"
Yes mornings suck!

My name is Ava and I'm a 16 year old in my junior year of high school. I guess I would be considered one of the shy girls in my school, but I do have good friends. I'm not popular, I'm not a looser; I'm just there.
I have my best friend. We are always together and we've been friends since freshman year.
It was the first day of school and I made sure to set my alarm a little earlier. Hence, why I was a little disoriented when I woke up.

I took a shower, put my uniform on, eyeliner and I was ready to go and  start another boring year in high school.

I went downstairs and found breakfast served at the table with a note on the side "Good morning honey, I had to leave early for work. Enjoy your breakfast and have a nice day at school. Love mom ". I drank the Orange juice and ate a little of the scrambled eggs on toast.
While eating I checked the morning newspaper (Instagram)Scrolling through my feed I couldn't believe this girls, so pretty, so girly and there's me.
My anxiety didn't let me have an appetite. I looked at myself one last time in the mirror by the front door. It's so hard to look good when you're wearing an uniform, at least if it were one of those cute uniforms the girls wear in anime I would feel better.

I waited outside to meet with Kelly, my best friend and basically my only real friend in school. I saw her white car parked "hey you" she turned the radio down "well, hello how are you in this awful first day of school?" I asked getting in the passengers sit.

"I'm great, my mom was bugging me about AP classes, last year I did a lot of extracurriculars, this year I wanted to take a tiny break" she said making emphasize on the word tiny.
I understood kelly, her mom does put a lot of pressure on her. She has always been q good student but last year Kelly got into a little problem so her mom had her even more controlled.
As for me? well I'm not an F's student... I'm more like a B's student and C's when it comes to numbers! I hate math with all my heart.

"Oh no way? Is she still upset about you dropping AP French?"

"Yeah she won't get over it. I couldn't go back to that class ,no way. But I don't want to talk about it."

"Did you see Allison's new pic? I don't know how she manages to get prettier and prettier ugh."

"You know who got super hot Jason Charles."

"He is gay."

"Yeah such a waste."

Write here

"Is it me or you look shorter?" Kelly asked, I rolled my eyes it was bad enough finding out your height is 5'2 even though all this time you thought you were 5'4 and now your friend making a funny remark that yes, you are condemned to be short is even worst.

"shut up, I will learn to embrace my shortness"

"Guys think it's cute, short girls" she said

"I'm just cute, guys talk to me like they would talk to their little sister" I said

"don't lie, guys like you... you are just picky and stuff"

"me? I'm not picky, I can like a guy physically but once I get to know them I just find them boring, their personalities suck. If anyone is picky in this car is YOU Kelly, I mean who likes a guy for the whole school year and then when the guy finally asked you out you are like 'I don't like you anymore' who does that?"

"ugh you can't forget about the whole George thing?! Can you?"

"You are like a little doggie that is following a car but once you catch it,you don't know what todo with it"

"oh I see you used the jokers quotes"

"One of my favorite movies"

-ONCE AT SCHOOL-

The long white corridors were filled with students chattering, the lockers were a bright red that contrasted with the white walls and the marble floors.  Our home room teacher was Mr. Vallejo, he was the computer lab teacher, which meant our home room was in building B, very close to the cafeteria and also close to the soccer field, so we might see those hot soccer players.
"Let's go sit by the field."

"Really Ava? We just got here and you're ready to go see the hotties? Haha"

"Why not?" I smiled.

"oh my God! I bet you guys haven't heard" Allison a sophomore said to us , we were sitting on the benches by field. No soccer players just people playing. She just appeared out of nowhere "what?" I asked. Alli sat next to us, she had changed a bit since summer.

"There's this two new students that are from somewhere in Europe and they are hot! someone told me they are Seniors or Juniors I'm not sure"

"European guys are so cute" I said , I bet they will get lots of attention.

"Have you seen them?" Kelly asked 'or this a rumor going around?"

"I haven't seen them but Alejandra saw them, and they are hot according to her."

"Cool, they might be our classmates, how's Alejandra by the way?"
"She's back with George, after you broke his heart"
"I did not break anyone's heart, if anything George should thank me, he is back with his girl."

"Well, that's what I wanted to tell you girls since I know both of you are obsess with that German band. I can't wait to those new guys tho! Hot new guys! We needed it!" Allison said with a smile.
She was known as hmm how can I say it without sounding mean... she was like a human newspaper.
The day started kind of slow, just the teachers introducing themselves even though a bunch of us already knew who they were...
after a couple hours of boredom, there was this sound that made things exciting... the bell announcing lunch time.

Finally! lunch time! I grabbed my backpack and left like if the room was on fire, you have to get to the cafeteria on time or else you'll be waiting in line for what it feels like a really long time! I was running downstairs when "ahh!" I tripped making myself fall on my ass "ouch"

"Damn Ava be careful next time" a guy named Chris, he is a sophomore said just staring at me and kept walking "Damn Chris thank you I knew chivalry wasn't dead"

"Oy you need help?" I male voice said with a thick British accent? or maybe Australian accent?

"Yes" I said looking at him, oh wow he is cute. He offered me his hand and helped me stand up "Than.. thank you I mean" I said staring at his caramel eyes "Are you okay? I saw you fall I'm pretty sure you didn't hit your head but I can take you to the nurse office if you show me where it is at" he said with a smile, can he get more gorgeous? he has brown hair, a lip ring, caramel eyes and he is just adorable. I had to absorb how hot he is.

"hello?"

"oh yeah no I , I didn't hit my head I just fell on my, on my-"

"bum? yeah I saw that, don't worry I entered the wrong class and it was embarrassing" he explained "That happened to me once, it can be embarrassing"

"My name is Luke Chambers and you are?"

"My name is Ava Casto" I said shaking his hand trying not to keep starting at him "I really like your name. It's cute"

oh no! I was blushing! he probably thought I was a weirdo "wait, where are you from?"

"I'm from this place called Australia, I'm here thanks to a student exchange program"

"So you're the new student? where is the other guy? And Australia ? that's amazing!"

"Yes I am new, I lost my friend, we got separated thanks to the sea of people in this school and yes Australia is... amazing" he said staring at me

"Would you like to go to the cafeteria with me? And then I don't know sit with me and my friend? I mean if you don't have any plans"

I can't believe I invited him to sit with me "I would love to" he said and we walked together, I felt so nervous, maybe this year won't be so boring after all.
