Echo P.O.V
I walk the halls of the high school slowly. I try to avoid eye contact with anyone because I'm very shy. I don't like to be around people, but there is one person I wouldn't mind being around. His name is DJ.
DJ is a popular guy at our school. He has tan skin and is often described as being a joker, probably because of his wild red hair. It catches the eye pretty easily.
'I really like his hair. It's such a nice color. And the way it spikes up is cool too. My hair is boring. It's black with dark neon blue tips and just hangs over my face. It doesn't attract as many eyes as DJ's.'
My thought is broken when I walk into a wall. I huff and take a few steps back. I was so distracted with the thought of my crush's hair that I lost track of where I was going. I walked past my classroom and straight into a wall.
"Smart one," I mutter softly to myself as I start to make my way to class.
Unfortunately I don't make it back in time and the bell rings. I know that I am in for it now because this teacher is very strict. He also doesn't like me. I'm not sure why, but he just doesn't.
I open the door slowly and prepare for the worst. I walk to take my seat when I hear that familiar sound of him clearing his throat. His name is Mr. Klian and he is probably the most hated teacher in the school.
"You're late, Echo. You know my rules about being on time. To the dean's office with you. You've just earned yourself a detention," he says with a rude tone, reminding me as to why everyone hates him.
I let out a loud sigh as I walk back towards the door. I hear a few people snicker as I slam the door closed. The class never was enjoyable to me, but unfortunately I have to take it.
I walk to the dean's office and explain to them why I was late. To them I'm just another distracted kid who missed the bell. They're not wrong either. I was distracted. I just wish that I hadn't missed the bell because now I have to sit in a classroom after school for an hour.
The lady behind the desk sends me on my way after giving me a pass. I head back to Mr. Klian's class with a sour look on my face. The only satisfaction I get is the icy glare he gives me as I sit down. He must have hoped that I wouldn't come back.
I glance over to the other side of the room and see DJ. He's drawing on his desk and not paying attention to the lecture. Although thanks to him neither am I.
Of course it is at this moment that Mr. Klian decides to call on me. I didn't hear his question so I just don't answer. After scolding me for not paying attention he moves on and calls someone else to answer.
After what feels like an eternity the bell rings, releasing all of us from the hell known as school. Well, most of us at least. I have detention to go to.
I begin to make my way across campus to the detention room when I see DJ not too far ahead of me. I'm not sure where he's going, but I'm curious. Although I would never ask. I'm far too shy to talk to my crush. My mind simply won't allow it.
