I walked into the high school doors. Taking a deep breath. I looked around at all the people. There were friends gossiping, couples kissing, jocks, cheerleaders. Nothing like my old school. It was the middle of January when I moved in with my father. My mother had just died of cancer in December. "Watch it" a girl yelled as I ran into her
"Sorry" I whispered looking down at my feet. The bell went off and soon the halls were clear
"Hi sweetie, what can I do for you?" The lady at the front desk asked. Her name tag said Sue. She had curly golden blonde hair. She had slight wrinkles around her eyes and lips
"I need my schedule" I mumbled
"Name?" She asked pulling out a folder
"Spencer Smith" I half smiled looking away from her face
"Ahh here you are sweetie, have a great first day" she waved as I walked out of the Office.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome back from winter break" the teacher smiled "and you can moan and groan all you wan, but we are hopping right back into physics" he turned and wrote Mr. Burns on the board
"Sup Burns" a few kids walked in together waving and head nodding at the teacher
"Ahh So nice you guys to join us" Mr. Burns voice was sarcastic
"Couldn't find the room" one of the kids laughed. He was taller then the rest. He had brown hair and a jaw line that could kill.
"Nice try Sam" Mr. Burns gave them all a look of disapproval "go sit" he nudged his head towards all the seats "before I start I should probably introduce Spencer"
"It's fine" I shook my head
"Guys this is Spencer. This is her first day, how old are you Spencer?"
"Isn't Spencer a guys name? What were her parents expecting a boy?" One of the guys yelled
"Mr. Hall, would you like to visit Mr. Stewart?" The kid shook his head "then I suggest you shut your trap. Now sweetie how old are you?"
"Uhm 15" I stuttered
"Dumbass doesn't even know her own age" the same kid laughed
"Dude shut up" Sam slapped his arm
"I suggest you listen to Sam, Jake" Mr. Burns gave him a look of disapproval. A look I would soon grow to recognize.
"If your 15 how are you a junior?" A girl asked
"I'm a sophomore" I replied trying not to look at anyone
"Well good maybe you can help the 3 boys in he back who just can't seem to pass physics" Mr. Burns smiled giving the 3 boys who walked in late a look
"She can tutor me anyday" one of them winked
"Sam enough" the teacher gave them another look an walked away

I walked into my bedroom and grabbed my nike shorts and an old t-shirt. I threw my long wavy brown hair into a messy bun. I grabbed my nike shoes and snuck out my window. I put my headphones in and started running.
"Woah killer" a man laughed when I ran into him
"Oh my god I'm so sorry I wasn't even paying attention" I yanked my headphones out
"It's fine" he laughed "hey your in my physics class. Spencer right?" I shook my head yes "why are you running?"
"Uhm I'm getting ready for soccer" I looked everywhere, but his face
"same, mind if I join?" He asked
"I actually was just going home"
"Come on one more mile?" He begged
"I already ran 3, and I need to get home before my dad checks on me"
"Let me run you home" he suggested
"Fine" I gave in.
