Chapter One
'come on mom cant you just say im sick or something---i hate school", i say to my mother in my British accent.
she chuckles from where she stands in front of the stove and says
"you need school in your life honey--or you'll never grow up to have a decent job".
i roll my eyes and look down at my eggs, poking them with my fork.
Hi my name is Blaze Huntington, and i am 16 years old. i have long wavy blonde hair with light green eyes, with a slim body. i live in England, with only my mother. her and my dad split up a long time ago.
i know, i know, Blaze what kind of name is that. but truth be told, i dont know why my mother named me that too.
i stuff a fork full of eggs into my mouth and wash them down my throat with some orange juice. BEEP BEEP.
mom turns off the stove and turns around to face me and says
"the bus is here---dont wanna be late on your first day at school--do you".
i stand up out of my chair as i mumble
"kill me know".
i grab my backpack, which was hangging on my chair, and kiss my mom on the cheek before walking through our big colorful living room to the door.
she stops me and says
"know Blaze--i dont need you causing any trouble at your school---can you promise me you'll be good".
i tilt my head to the side and say
"when do i ever be bad".
she glares at me and i sigh and mumble
"fine-i promise ill be good'.
she sticks her pinky out and i huff and connect my pinky with her's. i smile nd she leans down and kisses my forehead and whisper
"have a nice day at school".
i give her a little wave before opening the door and walking down the porch to the yellow school bus, that's parked on the curb.
i walk up the steps and the bus driver smiles at me, before pulling a lavor making the doors close behind me.
i walk through the crowded bus, kids stopping and staring at me, until i get to the back of the bus, where its empty, and sit, setting my backpack beside me.
i grab the bottom of my dark blue skirt, pulling it more down, feeling kind of uncomfortable, and look out the window.
im heading to a school called WestField, which is a very, VERY neat school, or so my mother has told me. there we have to where these schol uniforms. the girls have short dark blue skirts with a white buttoned shirt with a dark blue tie. the good news is we can wear what ever kinds of shoes we want, so im wearing shiny black flats, and my hair is pulled into a perfect pony tail.
the boys at the school have to wear some dark blue pants with a white buttoned shirt and a black tie, with some shiny black dress shoes. their hair, any kind of way they want.
he truth is, i never really been to a school, with boys there. i've only been to all girl schools. so lets just see how this day works out.
the bus lurches forward, haulting to a stop, and the bus driver opens up the doors. every one gets up and files off the bus, so i shrug and follow.
i freeze when i get off the bus, my eyes slowly getting bigger as i stare up at the school in awe. this is amazing, the school looks like a mansion, and its so clean.
i take a deep breathe before moving forward, walking up the short row of stairs, heading towards the entrance. as i go a group of kids by the doors starts to whisper and point slightly.i roll my eyes, they do see i see them right.
idiots
i reach for the handle on the door, and a hand moves forward, gripping the handle and opening the door for me. my eyes go wide when i see the dark blue pants and i slowly look up, my green eyes meeting a pare of light blue ones.
this boy is tall and broad, he has short dark blonde hair with light blue eyes. his clothes are perfectly ironed, his hair slightly gealed back.
i istantly freeze, my hand still in the air. he smiles and says
"ladies first".
a blush creeps onto my cheeks. he has a clear, husky accent, i like. i mumble
"thanks".
i walk into the building, slowly quickening the pep in my step and he appears beside me and says
"im Zachary but people around here just call me Zach".
i smile slightly, looking up at him and quietly say
"Blaze--my names Blaze".
he chuckles and says
"interesting name uhh-----need help geting to the office---im mean your new and all and-".
i cut him off witha groan, turning to him and say
"ok why are you trying to help me-kick me sign to the back-getting people to dump food on me in the cafiteria-finding out where my locker is so you can put a paint bomb in it-i've seen it all".
he puts hi hands up as he says
"no, no, no i was just going to get to know you--i mean it must be pretty hard being the new girl--i just dont want you having a hard time and all--i was new before and i know how it feels-trust me".
i smile pulling my bag more tightly on my shoulder and say
"well thanks--and yes i'd like it if you showed me where the office is".
he smiles rubbing his hands together and says
"follow me".
i follow him down the crowded hallway, taking my time to check it out. light blue lockers, clean, white walls, the floors white and shiny. this place is neat.
some one gently pokes my shoulder, snapping me out of my thoughts. i blink twice, and look to see its just Zach. he smiles, revealing his perfect white teeth and say
"you ok there-you kinda just-----stopped".
i chuckle akwardly, moving a piece of my bangs out of my face and say
"uh sorry-i guess that just happens when im deep in thought".
he smirks and points behind him, and i lean to the side to see a sign saying office. i lean back and say
"uh thanks---ill see you around then'.
he nods and says
"yeah------ill see you around".
he gives a little wave before turning to the side and walking down the hallway, only looking back at me twice, with a smile.
i notice, when he disappeared around the corner, every girl around me where either scowling at me, or glaring. is Zach popular or does many girl's like him or something.
i read in a magzing that if some girls see you with the boy they like, their usually really mean to the girl. which i think is really stupid.
i take a deep breathe as i reach out and grip the door knob to the office. i shurg and mumble
"here i go".
