Freshmen

Pilot

Amanda's POV
*beep beep beep*
"Ughhhh" I groan as I roll out of bed.
"Fuck school, fuck this, fuck that, fuck me. Why can't it just stop at middle school? Everybody hates Freshmen. Ew I'm not even gonna know my way around. I feel like an idiot going around asking for directions. Ahhhhh."
I turn on the shower and start to undress myself. I step in as the what seems like boiling water glides down my skin. I sing a little tune to myself, it something like this, " I wanna die, I wanna die, stick a fork inside my eyeee"
(Sung in the tune of 'Let It Go')
I turn off the shower to reveal a steamy bathroom and a foggy mirror,
I dry myself off while looking at memes on Instagram. I put on a white crop top with light, tight, ripped jeans and white Converse. I drag myself over to the kitchen to grab some cereal and I SPILL IT ON MYSELF. "Awesome just fucking awesome" I whisper to myself. I say fuck it and then I grab a granola bar and go back upstairs to change my shirt. I put on a flowy white blouse. Then I brush my teeth, straighten my hair, and put a bit of makeup on my face and head out the door. The rest of my family is asleep so there's no point of saying bye at this point. I head to my bus stop and wait there.
I pull out my phone and continue to look at memes.
As my bus arrives I sit in the middle of the bus and try to fall asleep. After about 20 minutes the bus comes to a stop and the bus driver yells at us to leave, so I grab my backpack and awkwardly walk into school. This is a school that's very hard to get into, so not many of my friends got in, in fact only one did. It's the first day so we walk into hr and they hand us our schedule.
"Okay Math is first, room 201. How the fuck? Room 200, room 202, room 203. Did I miss something? Fuck this."
I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn around,
"Hey are you lost?" A really cute, tall, muscular guy asks me.
"Ugh yeah, do you know where room 201 is?" I ask.
"Oh yeah, Mrs. McKenna Math?" He replies.
"That's the one"  I smile.
"It's actually at the end of the hall, I swear the architects of this school were high haha, here I'll walk you there." He jokes.
"Haha thanks"
I can't stop smiling.
"So are you a freshman?" He asks me.
"Yeah, unfortunately" I say while looking down.
"Ah, I'm a sophomore. My name is Grayson. Nice to meet you." He puts out his hand for me to shake.
"I'm Amanda, nice to meet you too" I say as I shake his hand.
"Alright here it is room 201. Here's my number. Text me if you have anymore questions." Grayson smiles.
He takes out an index card and rights down his number then he hands it to me.
"Thanks Grayson, I'll see you around." I respond.
"Bye Amanda!" He yells as he's walking back into the crowded hallway.
Holy shit he was hot, and he's so sweet ahhh. I feel nauseous.
I walk into math class and sit in the back. I sit through what seems like a year long lecture about how we act in this class and what we have to buy for it. I pull out my phone and put in Grayson's number.
Then I start texting my best friend Eduarda
A: Yo, guess what the fuck just happened?
E: What?
A: I just saw this hot ass dude and he showed me to my class. His names Grayson. Have you heard of him?
E: Bitch you know I haven't heard of anybody here, we are freshman in case you forgot.
A: You're right. Ugh he's just so perfect. Oml and guess what???
E: what???
A: HE GAVE ME HIS NUMBER!!!!
E: what the fuck, why?
A: way to boost my self esteem haha he said if I have any other questions to text him. What a good day so far.
E: lucky, I just got shoved into a locker by a blond bitch.
A: the fuck? Who? Do I need to beat someone's ass?
E: nah it was probably an accident
A: hm that's what I thought, alright I'll talk to you later this old bitch is still giving a damn speech.
E: alright byeee
Finally this class is over now I'm going to science class, I'm actually one year ahead in Science and English so I'll be with the sophomores. I walk downstairs to room 114 and once again sit in the back. I sneak my phone under my desk again and text Eduarda.
A: Yo bitch what class r u in?
E: Social Studies with the sophomores
A: ooh see any eye candy?
E: actually yeah only one but he's sitting on the other side of the room. He's actually really hot.
A: ooh aren't you the lucky one
E: what can I say? God loves me
A: gtg
I put my phone down when I see Grayson walk in the room. My heart sinks.
I smile at him and he smiles back.
He walks over to the desk next to mine and asks "Is this seat taken?"
"No, no" I quickly reply.
He sits down next to me and asks,
"Are you in the right class?"
"Yeah, I'm a year above in Science and English so I stay with the sophomores haha. I respond trying not to gloat.
"Lucky me." He answers.
Ugh I can't stop smiling I probably look like an idiot.
The class starts off with its usual lecture just like the first classes of the year do. I don't really need to pay attention until they tell us what we need to buy, so I zone out. I keep thinking about Grayson and his perfect smile of his.
Well I do have his number maybe I should text him...
A: guess who?
He looks over at me and smiles
G: Hey Amanda:)
A: gotta hate the first day of school huh?
G: tell me about it, what do u say we skip next period and get some ice cream
A: Dude if my mom finds out she'll beat me
G: Don't worry she won't find out!
A: promise?
G: promise.
A: okay let's do it
G: awesome, so how was Mrs. McKenna?
A: annoying lmao
G: haha ikr
We get interrupted by a slam on my desk.
"And absolutely NO using cellphones in my class. Since it's the first day I'll let you off with a warning but I better not see you with it in my class again."  She stares me down and walks back to her desk.
Grayson and I look at each other and try to hold in our laughter.
We sit patiently until the class is over.
Grayson and I walk out of class together.
"So what's the plan?" I ask him.
"My brother Ethan has got us covered." He smiled
"Awesome, so how do we get out of here without anyone seeing us?"
I say while raising an eyebrow.
" there is a staircase that keeps the door unlocked so if the gym class gets locked out they have a way in. Here it is."
He opens the door for me as a breeze of fresh air hits me.
"I'm new to this part of town so you gotta guide me." I say with a giggle
"I got you, don't worry." He smiles at me.
On they way there we got to know each other better. Apparently he was a twin brother named Ethan and he has a sister named Cameron. His birthday is December 16. His childhood fear was escalators. His favorite ice cream flavor is pistachio. And lastly, he eats strawberries with the stem.
Ugh he's so fun and cute and i just wanna kiss him.
We got to the ice cream parlor we ordered for each other to see how well we remembered.
He ordered a scoop of cookies and cream for me and I ordered two scoops of pistachio for him. I tried to pay but he wouldn't let me so I finally caved and let him pay.  We ate our ice cream at the park while on the swings and we just talked and told jokes and he's amazing. When I talk to him I feel comfortable. I feel like I know him.
