My nerves were fried about first day at a school.I had already started the year back up a couple weeks ago,so switching schools now is a pain.I wasn’t nervous about classes, but more or less the attitude of the kids. At my previous school they were all douches.
I moved up here with my mom because my dad walked out on us and my mom's company transferred her over here. But man did I miss our old house. The thing was like a mansion and we had a maid to clean up after everything although if I threw parties mom always made me clean up my own mess. My bedroom was huge I had enough room that it would be big enough just for a party in there rather than the whole house. I had my own bathroom and a mini kitchen in there.But this was no time for nostalgia.
A new start for my mom and I would be difficult,especially for her,but together we could manage.Our house now was a bit smaller than our old one, but its what mom and I need to start out new. She bought me a car that is super fast and would outrun any car in this parking lot.Pulling up in the parking lot I smirked at how few fancy cars there were.
I made my way through the sea of kids.I saw a few girls look at me like I was a piece of candy.I ignored them,they scream whores.Unlike my old school,people didn’t glare as you walk by.I saw different kinds of people swarmed in the cramped halls.
“Hey watch it!That was my toe!Jerk!” I heard a girl call to her friend as they played hacky-sack in the middle of the hall.
I shook my head,no girl would be caught dead playing that where I cam from.I drifted from hall to hall looking for the main office,but no luck.I was severely annoyed that even in a small school I was able to get distracted and lost.Eventually I broke down and approached a man causally standing in the hall.
“Um,can you tell me where the man office is?” I asked him quietly.
He looked at me funny. “Boy,the office is that door right across here.You must be new.Better get to class,don’t wanna be late!”The man laughed in a husky voice.The bell had already rang.I was at least 10 minutes late.
“Thanks.” I mumbled
I made my way into the bright room scanning for anybody to assist me.A pudgy woman with black ringlets looked at me with beady eyes and squinted “You,boy,what do you need?” She asked
“I’m new,I need my schedule.”I replied.
“Alright.”
She walked over to a large desk and shuffled some papers before finding on she seemed to mentally agree on.She waddled back to me and held out a sheet of paper.
“Here,your schedule.It has all your classes on it.And,” she pushed a yellow slip of paper in my palm “this is for your teacher.He won’t count you tardy or absent.” Her voice tinted a bit of boredom.
“Thanks.”
I found my first hour with somewhat of ease,considering the numbers on the doors.I took a few deep breaths before twisting the handle of the oak door.The creaking sound made me cringe and I held it still for a moment then proceeded through.I stood at the door scanning the room for a second.I looked around at the unfamiliar faces,but I couldn’t help look at two girls in particular.One girls head laid on her desk,I was fairly certain she was asleep.The other girl looked at me with beautiful eyes I wanted to look into those eyes forever.I snapped back to reality a walk toward the crusty old man in front.
I handed him the yellow slip the pudgy woman gave me.
“English 11,right?” I asked to make sure I wasn’t in the wrong.
“Yes,your a Junior I presume.” The musky teacher asked unimpressed.
I was pretty sure that was obvious.
“Well,yea.That’s what they tell me.”I mocked
“A comedian,well Mr.Robert,take a seat next to Miss Adams,Natalie raise your hand so he knows.” He growled.
My eyes scan the room and rest on the girl lazily raising her hand.
You have got to be kidding me.
Slowly I made my way next to her,I smelt her perfume and my heart sped like a race horse.I had to say something.I racked my brain for words but my mouth was working before I could stop it.
“Hey,I’m Robert,but uh call me Robi.” I gave her a slight grin.I sound so stupid.I moved my hand through the back of my hair,nervous habit.
"Oh,Hi Robi,I’m Natalie.”She said quietly.She shifted her gaze,around.I couldn’t help but stare she was unbelievably beautiful.
“I know.” I said,I immediately regretted opening my big mouth.I gave her a small smile even though I was mentally punching myself in the face.
Her face turned bright red,her body looked ridged.I looked at her back and it wasn’t moving,was she breathing?
"Natalie,your face is really red.Are you breathing?” I asked worriedly.
She took a visible deep breath and gave me a wide smile.My heart fluttered in my chest.
"Sorry panic attack get those a lot."She shrugged like it was an everyday thing.How does someone get use to that?
I couldn’t help but stare at her face even as she turned away.She stared at the back of the sleeping girl’s shirt.I wanted to break the silence,to say something,to make her look at me again.
“Can I,uh see your schedule? You know,we might have classes together.” She said sporting a soft but brilliant grin.
I couldn’t help but grin,she had broken the silence.That relieved me,I didn’t want to say anything to give her a panic attack again.
I grabbed the folded paper in my pocket a shoved it in her direction.
“Here you go.”
She took it an gingerly unfolded it and looked over my class detail.One class just wasn’t enough for me to be with this beautiful girl.I saw her eyes widen and my heart jumped ever so slightly,I was acting like an idiot,this girl probably has a million guys all over her.I wouldn’t have a chance.
“Wow,4 classes and lunch.So I guess I could be your guide from now on.”She said after awhile.
“That’s awesome I seriously have no clue were anything is.” I mumbled,it was true.I even got lost looking for the Main Office that was in front of me.
“We have Pre-Cal next so,you can walk with me.I just have to get my stuff from my locker.”She whispered avoiding the glare of the decrepit old man up front.
“Deal”
