Reliving life

Chapter 2

It was the second day back to school after the summer holidays and I felt as relaxed as I could be knowing that we'd be facing our final year together. Yesterday we had received our schedules and luckily our first class today was English and we were all together.

As we stood by our lockers talking before the bell rang for class a crowd began to gather. I looked around for the reason behind the crowd and my eyes fell onto a stunning blonde that was walking through the entrance of the school. She walked as if she commanded attention. Confident strides and her head held high.

Spencer had mentioned that there was a new girl starting and this must be her. She was wearing a short skirt, a white blouse and high heels. I couldn't help but stare, however she looked directly at me and I began to blush. I looked into her striking blue eyes and held her gaze for longer than I should. She held my gaze with an intrigued look upon her face, but it was quickly replaced with a glare and I looked to the floor instantly. She walked past us and as she did she hit my shoulder causing me to drop the books that I had been holding.

"What the fuck?" I mumbled as I bent down to pick up my stuff.

"What the hell is her problem?" Hanna growled as her eyes followed the other blonde down the hallway.

"That's the new girl..."

"No shit Spence" Hanna replied cutting off the brunette.

"If you let me finish I was going to say that she was queen bee at her old school, she's moved here because of her parents and she isn't happy about it" Spencer said calmly.

"How do you know all that?" I questioned Spencer, "she's only just walked in the building".

"Mona looked into her when we found out she was transferring here, she's got her reputation to protect and I think she's worried that Alison is going to take it from her." Spencer said shrugging her shoulders.

"I didn't know you spoke to Mona?" Aria mentioned as the bell rang.

"We were called into the principles office yesterday and told to be welcoming to the new student and Mona instantly facebooked her" Spencer replied.

I however had zoned out of the conversation and was thinking about the blonde, Alison. The name suited her.

I took my seat in English next to Aria in the back row. Hanna was on my left but the row in front of us. And Spencer was two seats in front of Aria on the right of me. The seat in front of me was empty and it had been yesterday as well. I placed my books on the table and when I raised my head I noticed Alison enter the room and speak to Mrs Montgomery. She is Aria's mother and a very good English teacher, she was our teacher last year as well and I've learnt a lot from her.

I hadn't even realised that I was staring at Alison but once she turned around and started walking towards me I snapped out of my daydream. Of course she took the seat in front of me. How am I meant to concentrate in class now when I have her in front of me distractions me with her beauty. Even from the back she was beautiful.

Alison turned to her left and right before leaning back to face me.

"Have you got a pen I could borrow?" She asked.
Her voice was soft and gentle. Not how I had expected her to sound at all.

"I... I... uh..." the words wouldn't come out of my mouth and I began to blush in embarrassment.

"I've got one you can have, don't worry about returning it" Noel Kahn cut in, his dark hair, strong face and muscled body made him a total catch.

Every girl wanted to be with him. Well apart from me that was. Alison was looking at me strangely before she turned to Noel and took the pen. She thanked him and he winked at her. I just shrank into my chair feeling like a complete idiot.

My phone buzzed in my pocket and I pulled it out and read the message.

Hanna: What the fuck was that?! Don't tell me you like her Em. She's toxic.

I groaned as I placed my phone back in my pocket. I didn't reply to Hanna but I could see her smirking in the corner of my eye. She was on Noels left hand side and had had a front row seat to the entire thing. I wasn't going to hear the end of that for a while. I tried to focus on the lesson but instead I just kept thinking about how my brain had gone completely fuzzy when I had tried to respond to Alison. I couldn't like her already, could I? I had only just met her and she had been a bitch to me earlier.

Once the class had finished everyone left the room but I took my time clearing my stuff away. Hanna was stood in the doorway on her phone waiting for me and I really didn't want to hear what she had to say to me. I gathered the last of my things up and heading out of the class with Hanna by my side. We had gym next but by the time we made it to the locker room Hanna still hadn't mentioned Alison to me. I sighed in relief and hoped she had forgotten about it already.

It was dodgeball today. The teacher had said something about learning coordination but yet again I had zoned out. Alison was wearing the schools P.E kit however she had somehow managed to make her shorts smaller than everyone else's and her top tighter. I couldn't help but stare, as my eyes made it up her body and landed on her face I realised she was staring back at me. I blushed instantly and she glared at me yet again. If looks could kill I would have died twice today. This lesson needed to hurry up and end before I did something stupid again. I couldn't think straight when I was around her.
