First day jitters

Untitled Part 1

It's my first day at a brand new school. My name is Sara and I'm not like other kids, I can see and talk to the dead and not many people know this about me not even my mom and step-dad. I moved here at the beginning of summer with them to get away from my father. I've made a few friends but they are home schooled so I won't know anyone at the school. As I was standing outside of the school staring at the sheer size of the building I started to panic slightly.

"It's so much bigger than my last school." I whispered to myself.

I walked into the school looking around the entry hall looking at all of the paintings on the walls and the intricate stained glass designs on the windows. After a few minutes of me standing there looking around I heard a soft female voice say my name.

"Sara are you then new girl Sara?" The voice asked.

I look at the girl and she had short black hair, soft green eyes and thin.

"Hi my name is Jasmin and I'm going to be showing you around the school first I'll show you where the office is so we can get you class schedule and the school map." She said smiling at me her soft green eyes telling me that she is a nice person and worth being friends with.

"That sounds good lead the way." I said giving her a smile.

As we walk to the office I notice a women in overalls staring at me.

"Hey um Jasmine who is that women over there?" I asked Jasmine pointing to the women.

"Oh she's the custodian she doesn't talk to anyone but, herself." She said looking at me as I stare back at the women.

I look back at Jasmin and ask. "She talks to herself?"

"Yeah she does it's kind of creepy if you ask me." She said as we start walking to the office again.

When we got to the office Jasmin walked up to the secretary and got the papers I need and we started walking to my first class. When we got to my first class Jasmin walked to the teacher and told him who I was.

"Hi Mr. Niles this is Sara and she's your new student." Jasmine said with a smile on her face.

The teacher looked at me and smiled standing up.

"Hi Sara I'm Mr. Niles it's nice to meet you." He said putting his hand out.

I shake his hand giving him a soft smile.

"Hello." I said softly.

Then Jasmin turned to me and gave me my papers.

"Class is about to start when the class is over wait for me outside the door and I will take you to your next class. OK?" She said smiling.

I nod and she leaves going to her own class.

As the class started to fill I stand next to the teacher's desk waiting for all of the other students to take their seats so I know where I can sit. Before I can sit Mr. Niles told me to stand in front of his desk and tell the class about myself.

"Well moved from Roswell, New Mexico, I like to draw and listen to music." I said looking at the kids in the class as they all stare at me.

"So you moved here from Roswell?" Mr.Niles asked me sitting behind his desk.

"Yes that's right." I said looking back at him.

"Thank you for telling us about yourself Sara why don't you take your seat." Mr. Niles said standing up and going to the white board.

I see that there are several seats open and most of them are near a boy that is sitting in the back right corner of the class so i sat next to him. As I sat next to him everyone watched me sit down and I looked at them and they were whispering to each other.

"She's sitting next to Steve why is she sitting next to him." One kid said to another.

I look at Steve and he's staring at me. As he stares at me I see a women behind him and I gasp and look away. The Steve looks at me then behind him.

After a few minutes later he sat a folded up paper on my desk and i opened it and it said.

"Can you see her too?"

I look at Steve and nod then i give him the paper back and he writes again and hands it back to me.

"Meet me by the big tree in the park across the street after school." The paper said and I look at Steve and nod.

The class went on and so did all of my other classes. Lunch came around and I sat with Jasmine and her friends. After i ate my food I stayed at the table and was looking around the cafeteria looking for Steve.

"Who are you looking for Sara?" Jasmine asked.

"Oh I'm looking for Steve." I said still looking around.

"Wait you're looking for who?" She asked sounding a little surprised.

"Um Steve." I say looking at her with a calm look on my face.

When I looked at Jasmine i see that her and her friends are staring at me and they all have their mouths wide open.

"Sara you don't want to be mixed up with Steve." Jasmines friend Samantha said with her head down slightly.

"Why not he doesn't seem like a bad person." I said looking at her.

"He's crazy he talks to himself all of the time and it seems like he's talking to someone but there's no one there." Jasmine said looking at me intently.

I stand up grab my stuff and walk away from the table. I go to my next class using my school map and the day moves on. Once school ends i go to the big tree just like Steve said.

"I didn't think you would show up." Steve said walking out from behind the tree.

"Why not Steve?" I asked looking at him.

"Cause i saw you sitting with the popular girls at lunch today." He said looking at me.

"Well you asked me to and with the question you asked me on the paper kinda sparked my interest." I said looking at him giving him a soft smile.

"True you acting the way you did when you saw the women behind me sparked mine." He said returning my soft smile.

After he said that the women came out from behind the tree and gave me a sweet smile. I smile back at her and she stands next to Steve.

"Who is she?" I asked still looking at the women.

"She's my mom, she was killed in a car accident that I barely survived." He said looking down.

"Oh I'm so sorry Steve." I said putting my hand on his shoulder.

He looked at my hand then back at me putting his hand on mine.

"No one has ever cared like you do." He said looking deeply into my eyes.

"Well I know how it is to lose someone you really care about and have them follow you around." I said looking back into his eyes.

"Yeah what i wanted to know is how you started to be able to see them?" He asked.

"I was born this way I could see dead people ever since I could remember. What about you?" I asked looking at him then his mother.

"I had a near death experience with the car accident. After that I could see the dead." He said looking at his mom.

"I've heard about people starting to be able to see the dead after near death experiences I've just never meet one of them." I said looking at him.

He looked at me and smiled as if he was telling me that he was happy to finally meet someone like him. After I said that we sat under the tree and talked about all of the different ghosts that we've seen and how we helped them into the next life. After a few hours it started to get dark so he walked me home and said that he wanted me to sit with him at lunch tomorrow. I told him that I would love to and went inside ate dinner and went to bed happy and waiting for the next day to come so I could talk with my new friend.
