Before I notice the lesson ends and once again I find myself in the hallway.
I don't enjoy the snarls and whispers I hear so I hurry to my locker and grab my physics textbooks.
"Hi, I literally ran around the whole school looking for just one person holding a physics book!"
"Well here I am .." I'm unsure how to respond to her.
My eyes instantly fall down to her short curly hair, she's really pretty.
All her features compliment each other, her black eyes go well with her light-brownish even tone and the way her cheek bones are raised emphasize her prominent dimples.
She's about my size and height and she dresses well for her body.
A bit too reveling for me but it works perfectly for her.
"Earth to .. " I realize how creepy I must have looked staring at her and not answering her question or questions. I don't think I was listening.
"Oh I'm sorry! I'm Ivory but you can call me Ivvy." She examines me for sometime before answering
"I'm Aletta but you can call me Letta, its very nice to meet you. Now can we get to class, I don't want to be late on the first day."
"You're new here?" That explains why she's talking to me in plain sight.
"Yep! I just moved in with my dad, turns out living with mom isn't 'the' best thing." She uses her fingers to make inverted commas in the air.
"Oh .. Well let's get to class."
As I lead her to class, I can't help but think that she revealed too much, too soon.
I don't know how many years it would take me to open up to someone like that.
"Here we are, you can sit wherever you want to, the teacher doesn't really care."
"Where do you sit?" She asks while her eyes scan the room for an open seat."
"I sit right at the back, on the left."
I don't know why I mentioned which side I sit on because it's not as if I sit with anyone.
"Please don't tell me that you sit with someone !" She whines.
"I don't, if you want to then you're welcome to join me."
We walk to the back of the room and set our bags down as soon as Bran ( our physics teacher) walks in.
No one knows why he's called Bran or what it means.
I think he's a bit too young to be a teacher. He dresses like a college student and has the edge of a highschooler but yet the brain of a professor.
All the other girls that are in my physics class say he's cute, I don't know what to make of that.
"Morning and sit down, I understand that there is a new learner with us today."
"Yes sir-"
"Bran will do just fine, please introduce yourself."
"My name is Aletta but you can call me Letta. I like physics and I'm very competitive. I hope I enjoy my stay at this school."
"Welcome, please find a partner, someone who's going to show you the strings around here."
"I think Ivvy will help me out."
Mumbles rise from the class and I look around trying to make out what's being said.
"Thank you Ivvy."
I smile, the nervous smile.
The smile that reflects the worry that is growing inside me.
Bran speaks for half the lesson and leaves the rest of the lesson for discussion.
"I didn't see you talk to anyone since I got here, you're not the weird type are you?" She says jokingly.
That stung, I know she was probably just trying to start a conversation but those words describe me perfectly and I can't help but feel offended.
I stand up abruptly and ask Bran to excuse me. As I am walking out of the class I notice the girls who sit in front of me turn around and greet Letta.
When I get out of the room, I feel like I've been released from a small suffocating jail cell.
The empty hallway feels good to walk in.
No pushing, shoving or avoiding burning glances.
After five minutes of taking deep breaths I walk back to the class.
when I get to class I smile to Letta, trying to apologize with my eyes for leaving so hurriedly as if she offended me.
I use my eyes because my words never seem to find their way out my throat into the open.
I soon realize that Letta is avoiding by all means to look at me, I can tell she isn't good at it by the way she's nervously grabbing her book.
"Are you alr-" the bell rings and stops me mid sentence.
before I can try and speak again, Letta is already done packing her books and is making her way towards the door.
"Do you need help with finding your next class?" I call out after her.
"No, I think I'll find my way just fine."
I don't know what came over her .. wait.
I think I do.
I'm a bit disappointed, I actually thought that maybe I had made a friend.
"What are you doing here?" Neil asks with the most sarcasm his voice can master.
" Urh, I don't know. Maybe its because I school here?"
I retaliate with equal sarcasm.
"Wow, I'm glad I found you!"
He chuckles and I can't help but join his silly parade.
"I don't think I was lost but hey .. thanks for finding me."
He gives me a side hug and runs off to his next class.
What just happened?
Did anyone else see that or did I just imagine it?
Although, if I did imagine it then I don't think that scene would have taken place in my mind.
Those are not the type of things I think of.
while my mind is still trying to give an adequate answer to the "what just happened" question, I walk to my history class.
I stop right at the door as my heart beats a bit faster.
Guess who's here .. and guess where she's seated.
This day just keeps getting better and better.
"Hi, can I you move out of the way, I wanna get to my seat?"
"Oh, you sit here?"
"Yep."
This is so awkward.
Leeta, probably feeling as irritated with the world as I am quickly moves to the side to give way to me.
We stand in silence.
-Make is stop.
