I lined up for the vile, disgusting food we call lunch. I grabbed for a chocolate milk and a fork. I took the mashed potatoes with chicken strips and headed off to the table where my friends and I usually sit at.

I headed for the table but then remembered I wanted pickles. I guess I wasn't paying attention because right when I turned around,
the new guy bumped into me.

And it wasn't just a small bump, it was a big bump. The kind that made my mashed potatoes fly across the room. Everyone started laughing and I felt my cheeks heat up from embarrassment.

"OMG! Are you freaking kidding me?!" I yelled out.
"I-I'm sorry" He said quietly biting his lip.

Right then, the principal came towards us.

"What's happening over here?"

Not knowing what to say, I stayed quiet.

"I wasn't paying attention and I bumped into her." he muttered.
"Well Harry, I'm guessing you will be serving detention for two days and also will be cleaning this up."

Detention?! But he did it accidentally!

(( Reasons why I hate my school. ))

I didn't want him to get detention and clean up the mess, he was new here and deserved better than that. So I decided to take the blame as well.

"I wasn't paying attention either! So it was my fault too."
"So I guess you both will be cleaning up this mess. No detention."

As the other kids got up to go outside, we stayed sitting down. Most of them laughed at us and reenacted the scene we had caused. Although, my friends gave me a pity look, they also gave me the "ooooh you're gonna spend time with the new cute guy" look. And then there were the girls who looked at me with eyes of fury because here I was sitting with the guy of their "dreams".

When everyone left, the janitor gave us all of the cleaning supplies he would use. He gave us almost everything, so i'm guessing we're cleaning the whole cafeteria. Yaaaay.

**

Nothing really happened when we we're cleaning the cafeteria. He wasn't the type of guy who flirted. A couple of bumping into each other and that was it. I would laugh but he would just stay quiet.

Seventh period came which was Writing. As I walked in, one of my friends, Jessica, pulled me out of the class.

"He's in your class! I think you guys would be the cuuuutest couple." she squealed.
"I don't think so.." I mumbled.

I had no interest in him what so ever. Plus, my mom wouldn't even let me date until i'm done with high school (( two more years yay )) so what's the point.

"Well I think you would, he's all yours. I'm already thankful enough for my boyfriend." She winked.

Jessica has been going out with Zayn ever since middle school. They were probably the only couple that lasted longer than 6 months. (( that i know of )) They had a couple of breakups throughout the 5 years they've been together, but they were inseparable. They were each other's soulmate and I could already imagine Jessica walking down the aisle while Zayn awaits for her. I'm so happy for her.

I walked back in the class and there he was. He spotted me instantly and his eyes widened as he fixed his posture. I found a seat in the very back and decided to sit down.

"Ok guys, don't get too comfortable in your seats. There will be a seating chart coming." Ms.Packer called out.

The whole class groaned except for me.. And Harry. I really didn't care much about seating charts. It made the class quiet, meaning that I would have a better chance of hearing the lesson.

After a few minutes Ms.Packer finally decided to seat me.

"Ok Janiah, you can sit right behind Calum."

I took my backpack with me and went to the seat Ms.Packer had assigned me. Calum was cute but he was also a jerk. He was one of those jocks who only cared about himself and no one else. Whenever you would ask him if he was Asian, he would have a full on rant about him being part Kiwi and part Scottish and NOT being Asian. So if you ever meet him, NEVER ask him if he's Asian.

"Um ok. Harry, Harry Styles right? You're the new student here?" Ms.Packer asked.

Harry nodded his head.

"Go ahead and sit behind Janiah."

Great. Just great. In front of me is a jerk who I didn't really talk to, to my right was a girl who tries to get everyone's attention, to my left was a really shy boy who's actually really smart, and behind me was Harry.
