Caught in the Middle

Part 7

We went back to class and me and Baylee talked the whole time. She kept saying Jasper liked me, but I refused.

Once we reached the top of the stairs, we walked into Mr. Reidmon's classroom and I sat down infront of Baylee. I watched as Mr. Reidmon sauntered to the front of the room and faced the class. He gave me and the rest of the class a smile. He straightened his tie and said, 

"Hello class, I see we have a new student. I'm Mr. Reidmon, and ya'll know that, but since we have her I figured a proper intro was needed." He said, he had a certain southern drawl to his accent. It brushed off of his chin and landed somewhere in the atmosphere. 

I spiraled around in my chair and smiled at people, Jasper and Zach, a few other guys, and a group of girls smiled back. I nodded as I faced the front once more. I panned the room slighty with my eyes, and just out of the corner, I saw Zach staring at me. I quickly refocused to the front and listened to Mr. Reidmon blab about Ancient stuff. 

"Ms. Adams?" I head my name, I quickly pivoted and saw Mr. Reidmon implying something.

"What?" I asked.

Everyone laughed, I faked a smile. Even though I felt humiliated, I tried to seem funny. I guess

"I asked if you knew who Cleopatra was." Mr. Reidmon said, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh she was one of the last pharoahs who married someone from Rome." I replied, trying to rack my brain on the topic.

"Very good. Now-" He went on and on, talking about Cleopatra and blah blah blah.

I couldn't help it, but I just couldn't focus! My mind was everywhere at one time, thinking about Jasper, and Carson, and Zach.

  I couldn't wrap my head around the fact I was already caught in drama on the first day! I had no idea what I had done, or how for that matter. I couldn't believe that I could already 'ruin things' for someone on the first day.

  That and I had already been stolen from, TWICE! Even if it was only fooling around, I had lost a book, and an apple. Was I that easy to be picked on?

Only four more periods left, I can do it!

I chanted to myself. Then, you'll never guess what happened!?

I'll give you a few seconds...

One....

Two...

Three...

Okay, your slow I'm gonna tell you!

I was saved,

By the bell.

I walked to next period, Language Arts, with my back-pack heavy on my shoulders, Ms. Lewis, my LA teacher opened the door and smiled.

"Newbie?" She asked. She seemed really nice. She had auburn hair that was pulled up in a tight ponytail and a loose floral shirt, matched with some black pants that hugged her thighs and flared at the knees. She had really pretty eyes too!

"Yeah, Ms.Lewis right?" I asked, making sure I wasn't mistaken.

She nodded and pointed to a seat somewhere in the back, "Right there, sweetie. You're Adam's partner." She said, smiling. I nodded kindly and walked there, waiting for someone. Adam.

He walked in, he was a bit scrawny compared to other guys, but he was pretty tall. He walked over to me and smiled. He was wearing signature Ray Ban glasses and tennis shoes. He had on some basketball shorts and a heavy hoodie.

"Hey, Izii?" He asled, as he placed his book-bag down on his seat. He lifted himself on the desk and grinned.

"Yup, Adam right?" I asked, taking out a pencil.

"Yeah, guess we're partners. That's alright, you seem like fun." He winked and let out a chuckle. I smiled, not knowing if he had really meant it.

"You too." I said, tucking the pencil behind my ear.

"No, leave it out, prettier that way." He said, removing the pencil from my ear.

"Alright?" I said, taking my pencil back.

"I'm kidding." He said, hopping off his desk and putting his book-bag on the door. He sat in his seat and gave me a thumbs up. I smiled and did the same.

Then Ms.Lewis came up and talked.
