Speak Up: (Chandler Riggs)

Chapter 3

I yanked at the car door.

Open! Open!

Xavier knocked on the car window and threw his hands up with the 'what the hell' look.

I was so happy to see his face.

For once.

Dad gave me a dirty look and unlocked the car door.

~~~~~~~~~~

We arrived at the school in a matter of 5 minutes. But in this quiet car ride, it felt like eternity.

My jaw dropped.

"Wow..." I said under my breath.

The school is amazing. It's fucking huge!!

The school is practically made out of glass. It's probably the size of 3 football fields, and kids EVERYWHERE.

A lot of cute boys. A lot.

" Have a good day at school," a voice broke the silence.

I looked over and dad was smiling at me. I quickly turned and swung the door open.

"Bye."

I didn't want any part of him.

I slammed the car door and speed walked up the sidewalk, leaving my brother to find the entrance himself.

I slowed down as I noticed a lot of guys staring at me. I heard wolf whistles, guys saying, "Damn, girl!"

I ignored it.

As I walked into the school, I was even more amazed. It was beautiful inside! The sun shined through the glass perfectly. There were plants everywhere and chandeliers hanging.

Wow.

As I was watching the chandeliers sparkle in the sunlight, I bumped into someone.

"Ow!" I shouted, landing on my butt.

Books and papers fell everywhere.

"Sorry! Whoa, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm--"

Wow.

A boy with big blue eyes stood above me. He had brown, shaggy locks that fell perfectly above his eyes, covering all of his forehead. He had a lip piercing and wore jeans and a black shirt. The sunlight danced in his eyes as I fell into a deep gaze.

"Hello?" He asked, waving his arms to break my stare.

"Sorry, I-I'm fine."

He smiled. "Need a hand?"

I nodded.

I grabbed his hand as he helped me up.

"I'm Chandler, by the way."

"Bridget."

"That's a pretty name. I like it." He smiled.

I blushed a little. It's not everyday that a guy compliments me.

"You new here?" He asked.

"Yeah. Let's just hope I stay here." I laughed.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I've transferred from a lot of different schools," I told him.

"Ah, that sucks."

"I guess."

Even though I just met him, Chandler seems like a really nice guy. He's really cute, too.

"What home room are you in?" Chandler asked.

"Um, I really don't know. I didn't even get any papers yet," I giggled.

"Just stick with me, I got you," he smirked.

We walked to his home room and it turns out we're in the same room.

I was pretty happy. I'll actually know somebody.

~~~~~~~~~

As I walked with Chandler, a gorgeous blond girl strutted down the hall, wearing beige heels, a pink mini-skirt, and white crop-top that said FIERCE across the front. She had two other girls following her that we're pretty much wearing the exact same thing, but wore flats, not heels.

She was wearing way too much makeup.

"Hey, baby," the girl said as she wrapped her arms around Chandler's shoulders and...

...and began to kiss him.

He put his hands on her hips and pulled her close, kissing back.

I just stared.

The girl pulled away, reluctantly, and looked at me.

"Who's the troll?" She smirked.

It's starting.
