Running on time (phan)

new day

"okay byyyyyye mum" i mutter to my mum as i get out of the car. 'okay great.... now where do i go...' i think to myself as i look around. i see a long building covered in glass windows, i walk up to the sign that says 'attendance'. when i walk through the door, a lady comes up to me with a look on her face that said 'what can i help you with.' "I'm uh.... new here" i say, "oh! well i will show you to miss newie," she says and starts walking further into the office. as i look around i notice this is a pretty posh school. there as several different offices and rooms further back, there was a big office and on the top it said 'Mr Mooney' 'i wonder if that was the school principal, anyway, the lady in front of me finally stops and points to an old lady. "just over there" she says with her hand placed on my shoulder blade, then walks away. i slowly walk up to the old lady. she looks up at me from behind her glasses. "are you new?" she asked, her voice was gentle but shaky, i would say she was about 50 or 60. "um yes." i respond. "whats your name?" she asked while looking down at her files placed in front of her. "its Dan Howell..... Daniel Howell." the old lady starts looking though the files and picks up one showing all my records and walks over to the computer and types my name down. "alright Dan, just walk over there to the printer and pick up your schedule then your on your way" she says and smiles... not much care behind that smile if you ask me. "OK thanks" i reply and walk over and pick up the sheet of paper, i was really confused i had no idea what and how this schedule worked.

'we have 7 periods?!' i thought looking down at the paper, just as l looked up the bell rang. i looked at the room number on my paper for 1st period and looked around the school 'OK sooo... that's the 500 building... and that's the 400 building..... oh! found 600.' as i stared to walk to the 600 building, i noticed how much i already hate these people, all the girls looked fake, and the boys looked 'too cool for you' kids but really there just losers with 5000 pounds of cologne on. the 600 building was a rounded brown building, i walked down the hall to find my class. 'oh god... oh no... the worst part! god i hate being a new kid.' i thought as i slowly opened the door to revile the room full of kids, there was at lest 30-35, luckily nun of them where paying attention, they where just messing around, and the tach.... 'wait... why are there 3 teachers' i thought as i walked up to the guy teacher, his name was.... hunt' i thought as i looked down at the paper to check. "yes" he said as i awkwardly stood there. ''I'm uh the new kid'' i said and a confused look spread over his face, "we have new kid?" he said under his breath. i gave a small chuckle, i had a feeling i was going to like him. "john?" he asked me. i gave him a confused look and a boy behind me look at the teacher and replayed "yes Mr hunt." Mr hunt looked at him and said "john what are you doing?! your not the new kid turn around" me and 'john' gave him a laugh. Mr hunt looked at me and said "whats your name boy?!?!?" i could tell me was that one teacher that was always loud and never took anything seriously. "Dan" i said. "daaaaan" he said as if her already new the answer but forgot. "YOU KNOW WHAT TOM?! YOUR GETTING ON MY NERVES! GO SIT BEHIND CASSY" he yelled. the kid named tom rolled his eyes and got up. "OK go sit where he was behind Freya" "okay thanks" i said and started my way over to my seat. as soon as i sat down the girls on the side of me told me how 'cute' i was, but the girl in front of me said "jump of and go find something else to repulse" 'hey i like her' i thought to myself. she then turned around and smiled at me. she has a pretty smile, she had straight teeth, big hazel eye nicely coated with that black eye stuff on top, she was olive complected and had dirty blond/ light brown hair that was wavy and curly but not frizzy, her nose was perfect shaped, it was slightly buttoned and not too narrow. i smiled back, she asked me my name and i replied, "whats yours," I asked shyly "its Freya" she said with a face that told me she didn't like it. "its a name of a goddess, Goddess of Attalu, the land of the dead and ancestral memories. Her name translates as great lady under the earth.... weird right" she said laughing at the end. "so what is it Freya" " like fray yuh" she said and laughed again. "oh okay got you" i said and gave her a laugh. "okay everyone we have a new student" Mr hunt said and started to walk up to the front. "so Dan why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself." The teacher said as he sat on his stool in the front of the class. 'oh god oh no, not public speaking, oh god just play it smooth Dan' "well uh... my name is Dan, i like to make my own videos on my phone and.... that's about it. I'm pretty boring." i said my voice shaky in the beginning. "that's it that's all?" the teacher said. 'yes dumb fuck' i thought "well..... oh! i like playing video games" Dan said, a boy sitting next to Freya looked back at me and gave me a reassuring smile. "oh cool, SO this is called study skills, you will have this call all the way up to the end, in this class you have 3 teachers that you can go to if you need help. and yes, this is a mixed class so all years are in here." he said and handed me a piece of paper, "This is your homework assessment sheets, i collect these every Monday, all you do is fill out the boxes with the homework you have, and give me a parent signature at the bottom." he said pointing at the paper, gave me a smile and walked back to his desk. after the left Freya turned back around and asked me "so... i see you don't talk much?" she said, "well haha get to know me better and you will take that back" i said with a chuckle. "sooo are you like a popular kid?" she said. i replied quick with a "oh god no" and she laughed "same i mean my only friend is Phil and he is leaving next year" she said with a sad expression on her face and pointed and 'Phil'. "that sucks I'm sorry" i said and as soon as i said the bell rang and we all jumped out of our seats and went on out the door.
