The New Boy

Chapter 2

A wave of relief floods over all of us, we loved having Mr Taylor last year. He was so chilled and laid back.

I am so happy to get him back this year. Sophie, Renee and Courtney are in my class again but Kyle is still in another class which sucks.

When we leave the assembly hall everyone is buzzing about have Mr Taylor again.

We get to our form class room and we take out usual seats. Mr hands out our time tables. Ok Emily this is the moment of truth, look at it don't be stupid! Slowly I flip it over the paper and take a look.

It turns out that I have all good teachers I think but one I don't know Mrs dowel is her name and I have her for English. After Mr Taylor gave us our usual briefing of the day the bell rung for first period. I got up to leave but Mr called out to me "Ferne can u just hang back a little bit please."

So I did, I thought maybe I was in trouble already but I hadn't really done anything. It turned out he just wanted to know if I was happy with all my teachers and what not.

When I left to go to my first class everyone had already started the lesson. So I was left to find my class by myself. I had science.

As I was walking down the main drag I saw this guy that look like a year 12 maybe. He was looking at his timetable then at the classes and looked confused, so I thought I could give him a hand.

"you look a bit lost there do you need a hand?" I asked.

Then the guy turned around. He had light brown hair that was kinda curly and deep brown eyes. The guy looked up and have me a smile. God that smile, it would make anyone's day a whole lot better. "um yeah, that would be awesome. I am new here and I am really lost." He said awkwardly.

"No probs. I am Emily by the way" I stretch out my hand towards him. The guy shakes it and says "Stromberg, Keaton Stromberg."

"I have never heard that name before. so where are ya from?"

The guy, Keaton, smiled that smile again "I just moved here about a week ago from America with my family."

Oh so that explains why I could hear an accent. "Wow cool! So lets have a look at your timetable then shall we?"

He handed me his timetable. I looked at it, it turned out that he had science too in the class next to mine.

"Follow me Keaton cause your in luck I have science too."

"Thank god you came I would have never known where to go." he said gratefully.

We walked side by side and talked about our selves. I learnt that he lived close to where I lived, that he moved here with his mum Laraine, his brother Wesley and his friend/onarery brother Drew.

He seemed like a really nice guy and I didn't know why but every time he smiled I got butterfly's in my stomach.

When we arrived at his class we said our goodbyes and I had turned around to leave.

"Hey um I was wondering if I could hang out with you and your friends today cause I don't really know anyone else here?" Keaton asked.

"Sure wait for me after science we both have English before interval so I will walk with you." I said.

"Thanx your awesome Emily what would I do without you." he smiled then turned and walked into his class.

The whole time during science I couldn't stop thinking about him and I couldn't wait till I could see him again.

The bell finally rung. I had got up and was about to walk out when my teacher called to me " Emily may I please have a word?"

No you may not! There is a really hot guy waiting for me outside! I thought to myself. "Yeah sure." was what I said though. All she wanted was to know why I was not all there today because apparently she asked me a few question during the lesson an I was zoned out. Not surprising.

When I walked out of class there he was standing there looking perfect. Shit Emily you really need to stop that he would never go out with a girl like you anyway and even if he did he would hurt you.

"Hey what took you so long?" he joked.

"Sorry I got held back because apparently I zoned out while my teacher was speaking." I said in a mimicy voice of my teacher.

Keaton laughed. "You kiwis Andy your jokes. You guys just crack me iup!"

And with that we both headed off to English.

When I was in English I got a txt

Hey it's Keaton I kinda got your number from someone hope you don't mind. :)

That's cool. :) is your class boring too? I sent back then slid my phone under my book just as the teacher came around. Once she had gone I checked it again.

Yeah I just about got caught by my teacher gtg see ya soon ;)

To my relief the bell rung not long after that and I was free to go.

When I left the class Keaton was there waiting.

"Does this teacher like you more?"

"Hahaha very funny wise guy! Anywho let's go find my friends so I can introduce you." I said

"Ok cool. But Anywho really? no one says that"

"Well I do ok?" I snapped.

He chuckled, "Don't worry I thought it was kinda cute."

When we found my friends I introduced Keaton to everyone. "Ok Keaton this is Kyle, Courtney, Sophie and Renee. guys this is Keaton." Hellos went round and Kyle and Keaton did one of those guy hand shake thingys.

While they were talking Courtney sat next to me and said "I see you picked him up really quick!"

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"That's the new guys I was talking about."

"Oh" I said like I had know idea. She just rolled her eyes at me and carried on eating.

Third period and forth were really boring. Keaton text me a couple of times saying that he didn't like Miss Sahay, like come on who does. Forth period I had outdoor education and we just played teamwork games the whole time and talked about all our trips we are going to do this year. When the bell rung for lunch I grabbed my bag and walk out of class to find Keaton waiting for me.

"Did u just have maths?" I asked

"Yeah god Miss Sahay is a bitch."

"I know aye."

Lunchtime was uneventful and boring we just talked about this that and everything else. I got to know Keaton a little more. But that was about it.

Last period I had maths which was kind boring. I swear all my teachers hate me or something.

When it was time to go home I walked to the bus and waited by myself yet again. But all of a sudden someone covered my eyes with their hands from behind me.

"Guess who?!?"

Straight away I knew who it was. "um Santa, oh no wait my mum, no no no Keaton!!"

"Oh dam you I thought I could scare you or something. So what number bus do u catch?" he asked.

"Number 4 what about you?"

"Oh my god no way I catch that one too!! We can be bus buddies!!" he screamed and started jumping up and down. I need to get some more normal friends. I noted to myself.
