Chasing the Light

Chapter 1

The school was scatted with the hormonal twelvies to year 12 pot heads.

I shove my way through the crowed building hoping to get to the open area and catch my breath.

Girls scream at the sight of each other while guys exchange a handshake they made up. I was once again the new girl so I couldn't do neither.

I emerge from the crowd and stare at the sea of teens meeting up after a school holiday. As soon as you walk out there you could see the canteen and all the teens drifting all around it, if you wander to your right you could see all the court yard with more teens who embraced each other with no respect. Closer to me you could see a row of about four tables placed in an undercover area with a crowd of boys mucking around and throwing stuff.

I start to wonder to see the school while I enjoy my music. I start with one step what was stopped as an apple exploded in my hair. Its impact made me take a few steps to my left to avoid falling over.

"Oh shit!" A male voice booms over my inappropriate thoughts.

"What the fuck?" I turn to see who did ditched the apple.

I group of boys all as equally
Amused as the boy next to them they all laugh but try and hide it.

"You... ok?" A girl with red hair and brown eyes with a pale skin tone, yells out, surprisingly sounding concerned.

"Of fuckin course not!" I yell back at her. I know it wasn't her fault but I didn't care.

"Fuckin chill! It was just an apple" A boy with piecing blue eyes and a face looking like a young Jared Leto speaks among them all.

I could feel the anger boil and steam inside me. It was my first day and my hair was soaking with apple juice and prices of shattered apple and I'm told to chill?!

I march right up to him in front of a group of boys trying to calm down. I notice how tall he is but I didn't care, I stand right in front of him, literally centimetres away from him.

Up close he looked down on me with his dreamy blue eyes and his toned and muscular body. All in all he was gorgeous specimen, but he still ditched an apple at me.

"Listen here" I start in a hush tone but loud enough to let him know I meant business. "Don't ever tell me to chill. Never! Maybe instead of ditching an apple at the new girl like a fuckin cliché, you should fuckin keep ya apples to yourself otherwise I'll put that apple so far up your ass that you can taste it!"

I feel a large piece of apple in my hair, I untangle it out out of from my hair and slap him with it in my hand, covering him with manky apple.

"Never. Do That. Again!" I stare in his eyes, I feel them shoot at me, as I shoot back "am I making myself clear?"

He opens his mouth to reply but I spin on my heels and let my hair flow over his neck. I had to get this apple out of my hair.

I eventually make it to the toilets as I clean my hair with the gross school water. Even though I had no makeup on i still looked a mess. My mid length wavy brown hair was all bundled in a gigantic knot. My once ugly blue school uniform was drenched and sticked to my body to make it looked uglier then it already did. I waited in the bathroom until the bell finally rang and it was time to go.

All student made their way into an auditorium where only one year group sat on the ground as they waited to be addressed.

I sat alone in the back hoping I blended in with the wall and disappeared from the students eyes.

"Welcome back students" a man with a black suit finally took the stage.

It felt like years had passed until he was finally done and it was time to go to our class.

Each teacher had to call out their students for their first class and that was where we would get our other classes.

Teachers began to call out students making them all disappear one by one. A teacher with short blonde hair that was pinned to the side stepped up to take her students.

Names began and I waited.

"Aiden Grant!"

I wasn't paying attention until a girl near me did a loud and obnoxious yell.

"Oh my god!"

I look up and see the boy I had a go at earlier. The tall boy with the amazing body and drop dead gorgeous face. He turned to see the girl and I could tell he cringed a bit. His eyes wonder on me and he sent me a smirk and a wink. I just look away, I still looked a mess and I smelt like apple.

"Archer Parker!"

Once again it was the guy from the group of boys. He was shorter then the other boy but he was still rather tall. He had sparkling green eyes, short light sandy blonde hair and a pair of black glasses placed in the middle of his face.

As he got up, his eyes caught on me again. He sent a friendly smile with perfect white teeth, I feel a little blush but I quickly wipe it off.

I now prey that my name wasn't called out. If I was I didn't know what to do.

"That's all" the teacher turns to leave.

"Wait I missed one...."

I feel the air in my lungs refusing to leave.

"Coralline Anderson!"
