Chapter One- Hot guy

August 16, 2016

I hear the loud screeching sound of my alarm go off at 6 in the morning. 

First day of school.

I slowly force myself out of bed and walk like a zombie to the kitchen. Both of my parents are still asleep so I try my hardest not to wake them up. I slowly pour myself a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, my favorite cereal. I continue doing my zombie walk back to my room and eat my cereal.

I get ready for school after I finish my breakfast. I decided to wear my Fall Out Boy band shirt with black jeans, a black belt, and my black converse. I put my hair in a messy bun and wear faux diamond stud earrings.

I get into my black and white Mini Cooper and drive off to school. When I get to school I park in the back. Parking in the front is a hell hole. Too many irresponsible kids who don't deserve a license. I walk inside and look for my first class, Math.

Room 302.

I find the 300 hall then look for 302. I pushed through the herd of sweaty high school students and finally find it. I sit down near the back, like I usually do. I sit with my head resting on my head, hoping this school year goes by fast when suddenly someone catches my eye. Yea this seems hella cliche but I see the most hot guy ever. Then I about have a panic attack when he sits next to me.

I start shaking. Damn this guy is hot. I don't want to look nervous so I start to breath and try to control myself. I look at him for a split second then turn away.

"Hello class, my name is Mr. Richards." The teacher loudly announced, trying to quiet the class. "Go ahead and talk to the people next to you and meet new friends." 

Ugh I have to mingle.

Wait.... shit.

"Hi." I hear a manly voice say. I slowly rotate to face the voice. It was hot guy.

"H-hi" I stuttered. Way to play it cool...

"Nervous?" He asked smiling.

"Yea. How about you?" Wow I suck at this.

"No not at all. I feel like this going to be a great year." He sounded so confident.

"That's good." I chuckled nervously. Doesn't this just sound like a cliche high school love story? Maybe that's a good thing... for me.

"Wow you seem really nervous." He said with a cute smirk on his face.

God damnit.

"Weird, maybe it's just my anxiety." Wow aren't I making a good first impression.

"Oh, well my name is Corban Mathews." He said while reaching his hand out, waiting for me to shake it.

I hesitate for a few seconds then grab it and shake is.

"Zoe Payton." I said smiling, maintaining eye contact and shaking his hand firmly.

" Nice hand shake." He said while letting go.

He just touched MY HAND!

"Than-" I was cut of by my teacher.

"I am going to pass out permission slips for math. I want these signed by mom or dad and returned by this Thursday." Mr. Richards announce while passing out permission slips to the class.

He continued to lecture on about rules and shit until the bell finally rang after what seemed like hours of non-stop talking.

"So what class do you have next?" Corban asked me.

"Oh, uh..... P.E." I stuttered out while checking my schedule.

"Hey me too! Wanna walk together?" He sounded exited.

"Sure." I mumbled out.

We walked to the gym where P.E. was. It was silent the whole way there until he finally broke it.

"You don't talk much." He spat out.

"Well I'm shy at first but when you get to know me I'm really loud and outgoing." I stated.

"That's good." He smiled as we walked into the gym.

The teacher gave us another lecture until the bell rang again. Me and Corban didn't get a chance to talk at all. 

"Do we have any more classes together?" He asked me once the bell rang. We checked each others schedules. "Aye, we have Choir together after lunch.

Fuck Yea!

"Awesome!" I wanted to say what I was thinking but I didn't want to come off that way.

"See you then!" he waved as he walked off.

I went through my next 2 classes. I had English then Art. At lunch I went with my best friend, Bree.

"Hey guess what?" I asked her while pulling out my water.

"What?" She said eagerly knowing how happy I looked.

"Ok so, I got really lucky toda-"

"Did you find someone to bang?" Bree cut me off.

"Bree..."

"Sorry. Continue." She couldn't help but chuckle.

"There was this hot guy in my math class, and P.E. and now we have Choir together, after lunch. He talked to me! God this sounds Cliche."

"It's very cliche, but I'm happy for you!"

When lunch ended, I headed to choir. I already knew where that room was from the past years I have had it.

"Zoe!" I heard that many voice again.

Corban.

"Hey!" I said as he walked up to me.

"Everyone take a seat!" The teacher announced.

Sadly, Corban went and sat with his friends across the room. I looked at him occasional but looked away when he saw me. When class finally ended, he came up to me.

"Hey, this might sound rude but why where you looking at me during class?" He said, trying to sound as nice as possible.

Fuck, I'm creeping him out.

"Sorry I-" I ran off.

"Zoe!" he yelled trying to chase after me. 

I finally lost him through the heard of sweaty high schoolers. I went to my last class of the day, study hall. I couldn't focus on my homework. I kept thinking about Corban and how I fucked up. When the bell rang, I got up and rammed through the heard again. When I got to the car, I heard Bree yelling my name.

"Zoe!" She yelled getting closer. "Zoe! Can I have a ride?"

'Yea sure!" She got in my car. "I fucked up during Choir."

"Damn it Zoe, what did you do this time?"

"Well I kept looking at Corban then after class he came up to me and asked why I was looking at him. I stuttered then ran off. God I'm so stupid."

"Zoe! Apologize to him tomorrow!" 

"I will, I will."

I dropped Bree off then drove to my house. I sat on my bed and though about how much I fucked up. I wondered still,

why did he want to talk to me?
