Just A Step Away

Chapter 2

Katherine POV

I parked my car and entered in school. My eyes roamed around the corridor and then I found familiar faces. I smiled and walked towards them.

"Hey beautiful." Jackson greeted me. He eyed me from head to toe and winked at me. I rolled my eyes at his childishness. He has a crush on me since freshman year. He is cute but I have never thought about him in that way. I would never ever think about someone else in that way.

"Back off Jackson. Kath come on, we have to collect our time tables from office." Rosaline, my other friend said.

"Yeah, let's go. Hey wait, where's Nova?" I asked Jackson and Rose.

"She is in office already, with Tyler." Jackson informed. I nodded and then all of us walked towards the office to take our schedules.

"I have only 2 classes with you all." Nova complained.

"And I have 3 classes with Kath, Rose and Nova and all classes with Tyler." Jackson said.

"Rose and I have all same classes." I informed them.

"Jackson and I have all same classes. It seems Nova is the only one who has 3 classes without any one of us." Tyler said sadly.

"No problem girl, we'll catch up in break time." I consoled Nova.

"Come now, or else we all be late for our first class." Rose said and dragged all of us to our advance English Learning class.

**********

"It was such a boring class." Jackson said.

"No, it was the best class of all." Nova said and Rose and I laughed on her enthusiasm. She is just said that because we got a hot teacher.

"Oh please. I am better than him. And how can you say that it is the best class of all, when it's our first class only?" Tyler said in annoyance. A blind person can also tell that Tyler is crazy for Nova. But Nova never notices his gaze which is 24/7 on her.

"Okay guys we are heading for our next class. See you guys in lunch time." I pulled Rose and waved the others before entering in mathematics class.

Rose and I sat on the second bench and took our belongings out from our bags. Students were rushing and making their way to seats, waving and hugging each other cause all of us met after a long break. Few girls and boys greeted us too. Suddenly an unknown guy walked in the class and every girl gasped in surprise. Rose and I gave each other a confused look but we decided to mind our own business.

"Good Morning class." Women in her mid-forties entered in the class, our mathematics teacher maybe. We greeted her 'morning' and settled down on our chairs.

"Welcome to the senior year students. I am Carol Evans; you people can call me Mrs. Evans. You guys are now senior and all of you carry serious responsibilities. So quit being careless and be serious for your studies now. Well, you guys knows each other so we don't need any introduction but we have a New student over here." she then gestured that new guy to stand.

"Students, He is Adam Moore Wilson. Son of Mr. Andrew Wilson who is the biggest financial supporter of this school. Be nice with him and don't you dare to do your stupid pranks with him." Adam smiled at all of us but boys were throwing daggers at him. They were simply jealous because of his looks and girl's desperation to gain his attention. Whereas, girls were throwing seductive looks at him.

"Now I want a student to help Adam. He is not familiar with hallways to the classes and all stuff of this school so I want one volunteer to help him." Girls raised their hands to get attention and made an innocent face to get selected.
