Count on Me

Chapter 5

The salty air reached my nose through my helmet. 

The small town of Avalon was truly beautiful,  a little old fashioned,  but it was nice.  And as I rode to school I could see glimpses of the sea in the background of everything.

The ride to school was not long at all, so after five minutes of taking in the town I reached the school.

Alot of people were staring at me as I got off the bike, I guess they noticed that I was new,  or they were just observing my awesome bike.

I didn't really know where to go so I headed in the direction I assumed was the front office. I was met by a eldery, friendly looking lady,  I presumed was the secretary.  She looked up at me,  her glasses sitting on the bridge ofher nose, and smiled  .

"Well hello dear,  can I help you?" she asked.

"Uhm. .. yes, I'm Rowan Smith and. . " , but I was cut off.

"Oh yes of course I should have remembered the moment you walked in " she said looking a little guilty "well I'm glad you're here.  Here is your locker number and combination " she said and handed me a piece of paper.

"Thank you ", I said as I took the piece of paper from her and glanced at it, locker number 342  it read.

"Will you be needing someone to escort you throug school?" 

"No thank you,  I think I'll manage " I said giving her a reassuring smile.

"Alright dear,  good luck. Oh and welcome to Avalon High. " she said and waved me goodbye.

As I exited the office I ran into something,  or more like someone,  but it felt as if I ran ito a brick wall.  I stumbled backwards and when I regained my composure I looked up at the  brick wall,  but I had to say he was a hot brickwall,  with dark hair and electric blue eyes and he was built like a football player,  yet he didn't whear the football jacket I saw a group of boys wearing earlier,  no he wore a leather jacket and a white tight fitting T-shirt that faintly showed the lines his abs, and a pair of jeans.

Nice genes I thought. He was probably the school's bad boy,  judging by the fact that he is at the principal's office at the beginning of the school year.

Something like recognition flashed across his features,  but it disappeared as soon as it came,  that I almost doubted that it happened.

"Watch it! !! " I said to the hot brick wall.

"New girl's got spunk,  just how I like them" he said with a smirk plastered on his face,  oh how I juts wanted to smack that smirk off his pretty little face .
Wait no he does'nt have a pretty face. Focus on the mission Rowan,  I told myself,.

"Lucky for me,  Newgirl  doesn't find the bad boy's egotistical personlity atractive. " I said givig him a totaly sarcastic smile.

"I can live with that if that's the only thing you don't find atractive " he said that smirk still plastered on his face.

And with that I stomped off to my next class,  I didn't have to deal with his huge ego.

"Jerk!" muttered under my breath,  but just loud enough that he could hear me.

"Oh and by the way,  nice accent " I heard im calling after me,  refering to my faint English accent I picked up over the years working in England.

I groaned internally. That boy was trouble.

(Calan's POV):

I found her, well actually she just showed up,  but after all these years of searching,  she finally came back to us.
