Perfection Doesn't Exist (Under Editing)

Chapter 30

We arrived at the school around 40 minutes ago and I had told Justin I didn't want to go in just yet so we stayed in the car. We passed by the school front and it literally looked like a university. The front building, guessing it was the main office, looked so intimidating. I was starting to pick at my nails, nervousness running through my veins.

Was I ready to step foot onto a new campus? Having to create a new life on these school grounds? I don't want to be known as "the new girl." And I never thought I would have to worry about that.

Thinking about it made me remember when I would judge new kids right off the bat. To be honest, I did kind of feel like a higher class man, knowing everyone since day one and everyone knew of me or about me. The only one's that did truly know me, were my friends, Brook, Kiki, Leah, Tom and as much I regret saying it, Travis too. We all knew each other's deepest secrets and never told another soul about it. That was, until things started changing recently.

But in the end, I felt bad for the kids I judged because in the end, they really didn't seem that bad. Only two of the many kids I talked to were jerks. I never bothered to speak to them again.

I took deep breaths and decided I was ready to go. I looked over to Justin who was fast asleep now. I smiled at his little light snores and his cute sleepy face. I shook him up, but gently since I didn't want to startle him. His eyes fluttered open, looked around, his eyes then landing on me. He sat up straight and smiled. He rubbed his eyes and yawned.

"I'm ready now." I told him, trying to convince myself more than him.

"About time." He chuckled.

"Oh shut up!" I slapped his arm playfully and laughed with him.

He unbuckled his seat belt, which I have no clue as to why he left it on this whole time, and opened his door to get out. I followed his actions, getting out too and shutting the door behind me. As my gaze landed on the student parking lot, I gulped, feeling nervous again. I immediately felt an arm wrap around my side.

"Hey, you'll be fine. I'll show you around and walk you to your classes." He smiled, reassuring me.

I shook my head, curling my lips in my mouth then letting out a big breath. He let go of my side and headed towards the office. I followed quickly behind, not wanting to loose him out of my sight, seeing that he's the only one I know here so far besides his guy friends and their girls.

As we walked closer to the office, I saw two girls in front of us, looking at us and then turning their heads to talk amongst each other. I started to feel uncomfortable, like I was naked so I tried to fold my arms to somewhat comfort myself. Justin I guess noticed how uncomfortable I was and stopped to grab my arm. I turned to face him, giving him a fake smile.

"Yes?"

"Are you positive you're okay?" He asked with concern.

"Yes I am. Now I'll be late on the first day of school if you keep me here any longer, leading me to make a bad impression. So can we go now? Please?" I begged wanting to get this day over with already.

"Fine. But don't think I'm letting this slip so easily."

"Just as long as we go right now I won't care."

He let go of my arm and I noticed more cars pulling in to park. I turned around and sped walked to the office before any more faces looked at me. When I entered the office, I let out a big sigh and went to the front desk. I saw a lady with glasses taking a phone call. I noticed her name tag read 'Mandy.' I waited politely for her to end the phone call.

I heard the door behind me open and I tensed. I'm about to officially see and maybe meet someone from this school. I don't know why I've become so nervous. I bet it's because I don't want to give off a bad impression to others. I want to be known as the sweet kind person I really am. No rumors because rumors will be the death of me. Literally I went through a period where rumors almost ruined my life all together.
