Live Again

Chapter 2

Tuesday rolls around and when my alarm goes off, I get right up and start getting ready. I might see that guy Adam and I want to look cute. I go over my hair with my straightener and do my mascara and apply some lip gloss. I take one last look in the mirror and for the first time I almost like what I see. I go to my drawers and pick something to wear. Its suppose to be warm so I pick out a short, flowy black dress with sandals. I put a cardigan on over it to hide myself a little bit. I go grab my mom and we head off to school. As we're driving there I see i have a message from Adam. My heart pounds and I feel hot all the sudden. Talking to boys makes me nervous. 

I open it and it says "Hey! I was wondering if you could show me around to my classes?" He says. I start typing back.

"Sure! No problem." I say and close my phone, I don't want to respond back to him to fast, he might think I am waiting fir him to reply and I've been told replying fast is pathetic. After a minute I look at my phone to see he responded right after I did. Hmm...Interesting...

"Okay! Thank you! Meet me in the front of the doors." He says. I reply with okay and put my phone in my bag. As I get out of the car I start to feel nervous and second guess showing him around. What if he thinks I'm gross and fat? What if he turns out to be an asshole and I get ,y feelings hurt again. I'm deep in thought when I get to the front doors. I hear someone call  my name and I look up to see its Adam. He's looking down at me smiling with white and straight teeth I might add. Wow hes beautiful.

"Penny for your thoughts?" He says laughing. I embarrassingly giggle even though it was a little cheesy.

"Sorry I was thinking about this quiz I missed yesterday, can I see your schedule?" I say, trying to shake off my embarrassment. He hands me his schedule. I inwardly scream when I see we have three classes together. We have art 1, anatomy, and photography. I look up at him and smile. He smiles back.

"We have three classes together! We actually have a class together right now." I say. 

"Oh that's great! At least I'll know one person." He says with a big smile directed towards me. We stare at each other smiling for a second and then I clear my throat and tell him we should get to class.

As were walking I see them  and instantly get a pinch of hurt. I try not to physically cringe in front of Adam but I do and he notices. He frowns down at me.

"You okay? You seem upset?" He asks. I shake it off quickly. I smile big at him and it us probably the fakest  smile I can master. 

"Yeah I'm great!" I say with maybe a little too much enthusiasm. He frowns again looking back at them and then shakes it off and smiles at me. We get to photography and we sit down together. I start to get anxiety because most of the kids in this class are with the popular crowd and will love Adam, he is...well hes they're type. Good thing teachers here don't like to announce new kids to the entire class. After the teacher gives us our assignment she walks over and introduces herself to Adam.

"Hi Adam, I'm Mrs. Baker. Its nice to meet you." She says shaking his hand. He smiles ans shakes her hand back.

"Nice to meet you too." I look over and see Leah, a girl who is much prettier and skinnier than me checking Adam out. I look down at myself then her and cringe. I could never get a guy like Adam, what's the point in even trying. I look over to see Adam staring at me and I feel my cheeks flush. That makes him smile big.

"So I don't know anything about cameras, so wanna help me with the assignment?" He asks me.

"I'm gonna be honest me either but lets try anyways." I say, earning a big laugh from him. I love that sound.

We get to work and we finish pretty fast. For the rest of the time we just sit there talking. I mostly ask him questions cause I don't want to go into detail about my family at the moment.
