Shadows Of Us. (Connor Jessup Fan Fiction)

Chapter 1

"Arabella!!! Wake UP. It's time for school." My younger sister sister is so annoying. Like, can you not.

"I'm up go away." I put the pillow over my face. Gosh i am so not a morning person. My sister Kenzie goes out the room and slams my door shut. Not my fault she broke my alarm clock. Long story short i didn't turn it completely off before going in the shower, it kept buzzing and she threw it at the wall. Pretty sure she has anger issues...

I eventually get up and take a shower and continue with my normal morning routine. When i am done getting fully dressed i stand in front of my mirror. I'm very plain. A jacket, jeans and my hair in a ponytail. It makes me feel invisible which i oddly like.

I walk downstairs and see my mom and Kenzie eating some toast. I wave bye grab my bag and head out the door across the street.

"What up Ariel?" Lucas said as i walked up to his house. As soon as i was standing in front of him i looked at him like he was some sort of alien.

"Why are you looking at me like that?!" Asked while some-what chuckling. I head to the door of his car.

"Lucas, i love you but stop trying to act cool." I get in. He always drives me to school so it wasn't much of a big deal.

"Yeah, 'cause you totally know what it takes to be cool." He said as he started his Jeep. I glared at him and he just flashed a smile. I shook my head. This kid Is seriously just too much.

"Hey i thought i told you to stop calling me Ariel!!" I punched his arm. He's been calling me Ariel since the 8th grade when i had dyed my hair red. Everyone said i either looked like Ariel or Ariana Grande.

"Geez you're like, so 10 minutes ago." He said in an annoying preppy voice.

"Yeah but you're like so 8th grade. Like seriously we're Seniors now. Time to grow the fuck up."

"True. Hey so who are you going to the winter formal with?" He asked.

Did he seriously just ask that? I bust out laughing.

"You're hilarious. So who have you asked?" I say within bursts of laughter. Does he really think that I'm gonna wear a dress AND find a date? He is clearly delirious. I am usually someone's 2nd choice. More like 10th...

"I asked out Amber..." He said. I glared at him wondering if he was still being serious.

"STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT. I got desperate..." He continued driving towards the hell hole we get to call a school. I put my hands up like i was surrendering.

"All I'm saying is be careful. No telling what kind of diseases she could have." I say. Which was true. We used to be the best of friends when we were in middle school. Then we got to high school, she changed. I guess everyone changed, including me.

We finally get there and Lucas finds a parking. We both get out and i heavily sigh.

"Just think about it. One more year." He says with a glimmer of hope and eyes.

"Yeah. Still. A lot can happen in a year." And it's true...

"I'll see you later hun." He said then kissed my forehead. He was like a brother to me. We've known each other since kindergarten.

"Bye!" I waved and headed to my class. My and Lucas only had like 2 classes together. Health and theatre.

I finally got to my locker after pushing and shoving my way through these crowded halls. I put my bag inside and get my binder and books out.

As i was closing my locker, i heard, "Aw, look who it is. How much for one night?" Jake, my main tormentor, said as he walked by with his posse. I rolled my eyes as a response. I used to run to the bathroom and cry my eyes out every time he would say something like this and now i am used to it.

"Don't you have something better to do then piss me off?" I spat at him.

He just glared at me. As he passed by, pushed me into the lockers next me making everything in my hands, including me, fall to the ground. They all started laughing and walked off. It's sad that I am used to all of this.

"Here..." A guy i didn't recognize handed me a few papers.

"Thanks. Uhm, do I know you?" I asked Mr. Mysterious. He was actually pretty adorable... Yes, i said adorable.

"I wouldn't bet on it. I just moved here to Atlanta. I'm Connor by the way." He held out his hand to help me get up and i gladly took it. I stood up and smiled at him.

"Well, Connor, thank you for helping me. I'm Arabella by the way." I smiled at him again and started walking off to my class thank god it was just down the hall.

*Connor's POV

Arabella started off down the hall and i looked at my schedule. Chemistry. I have no idea where that is... I start jogging after her.

"Hey, Arabella!" She turns around and I'm already beside her.

"Do you think you can tell me where i can find room 717?" I ask hoping she can help me.

"Is that chemistry?" She asks and i nod.

She motions for me to follow her and i do.

"So, Where did you move from?" She asks looking at me.

"Toronto. Canada..." It's a pretty huge difference... I didn't want to move, but my mom said i should give living with my dad a shot, so i am.

"That's a very big move..." I nod as a reply and we reach the class. She motions for me to go inside.

"Thanks by the way..." I say.

"It's no biggie." She says and follows me in.

"You're in this class?" I ask her while still near the doorway. She nods once again. She seems pretty shy.

We're still standing there and i didn't really notice that i was just staring at her. Her eyes are very beautiful even if she is wearing glasses. I'm wearing glasses as well... Nerds for life.
