Wings

Chapter One: Greetings

Maryah's P.O.V

I heard the front door open and then slammed shut again as quick as it opened.

“ 'Ryah, are you there? "

“ Yeah I'm in the kitchen. " I hollered.

I heard footsteps coming closer to me and was quickly engulfed in a hug

“ Hey! How was your summer? " My best friend, Sophie asked.

“ Pretty good thanks. How 'bout yours? Any hot guys? " I teased. I only asked because with Soph, there were always guys involved.

She let out a dramatic sigh,

“ Sadly, no. The guys that are usually up by our cottage were gone this year. I was totally bummed about it. "

I tried to be sympathetic, but she was always such a drama queen.

“ Sorry to hear that. " I said as I shoved my new school supplies into my backpack.

Sophie Kyper, my best friend since grade 3. We both have completely different personalities, as well as how we look. She's slightly taller than me, with her light brown eyes and her 'Miley Cyrus´ blonde hair.

I on the other hand, had dark brown hair hitting almost mid back length. And my eyes were blue and green, shifting colours depending on my mood.

“ It's fine, I'm over it, " she grabbed her school bag, “ Ready to go? "

“ Yeah sure, just let me grab a fruit. " I said over my shoulder as I reached for an orange.

“ Ugh, why did they put our lockers so far away. " Soph whined as she lazily waved her arm in the direction of her locker.

“ You're locker is only about 20 feet away, I think you'll survive. " I told her, as I closed the lock on my locker. “ You said we have math first right? "

“ Correct, but we better get going. I don't want to be like last year where we were stuck in the front of Mr. Zirku's class. " Soph shuddered at the mere mention of our previous math teacher.

Mr. Zirku used to always look down the girls shirts if they sat in the front row where he would be standing. All the girls, especially the ones in the front row, were ecstatic when he told the class he was retiring.

“ I heard that our new teacher just graduated, so he's young. "

“ I wonder if he's hot. " Soph thought out loud.

“ Please tell me you didn't just say that. " I laughed.

“ Well it's not like there are any hot guys in this shit hole of a school. " she gestured towards a group of nerds.

“ Point made. " I sigh.

We step into our math class and I haven't even looked around and I hear Soph squeal. I turn to her to see what in the world she's looking at to make her squeal. I follow her gaze towards where she's looking and I now understand why she did.

At the farthest corner from the door, where there was a burnt out light, two guys are chatting.

I could tell that Soph was oogling the tall ginger because I recall her telling me once she had a thing for gingers. He was slim, his hair relatively flat, except it swooped upwards in the front, casting a faint shadow over his sky blue eyes. He had a cute smile with freckles dotting his face.

I averted my gaze and looked at the guy next to him. He was really attractive, with his dark brown ice cream scoop hair, with his 'wings´ as Soph calls them, just passing his ears.
