RIVER POV
First day of school.
BEEP!
BEEP!
BEEP!
I slapped the snooze button on my Iphone that was hooked up to my ihome doc.Me?
Im River Cross.
I stood up from my cozy bed. My eyes still filled with sleep, i yawned, heading to my closet. Today is the first day of school. First day of grade 9. High school. I studied myself in my mirror. I have shaggy hair that was oncea white blonde, thats i dyed to jet black. My bright blue eyes made my hair pop, with the lightly scattered freckles on my face. I used to be the popular jock. The one that got every girls attention. BUt thats not me. Thats not who i am. So this year, im changing all of that.
I ran a comb through my hair. I opened my closet and pulled out my black skinny jeans and my Sleeping With Sirens band tee.
I looked nothing like I used to.No more white-blond, short, hair. No more weak arms. No more me. I let my monster inside me take over. Luckily my monster is decent. I'm not into cutting or gangs. (a/n not to offend anyone!! I'm a cutter myself.) Now, my white-blond hair is jet black and shaggy side swept. Over the summer I built up some muscles. Now, I'm acctually happy.
Staring back at myself in the mirror one last time, and smiled. The same smile that every girl would fall for.
I ran down the stairs, skipping a few steps a I do.
Grabbing and apple out of the refrigerator, my black neff beanie, and my Sector 9 longboard that hung on the wall by the door, I headed to school. High School.
The journey there was enjoyable. Once I neared the school doors, the students flooded in. The bell sounded and I headed to the office, longboard in hand.
The lady handed me my schedule and locker number.
I wondered the hallways l, not concerned about the time. I neared my locker I noticed a girl. I stopped dead in my tracks. Shade had dark brown hair down to the middle of her back. She looked to be about 5'4. She also looked go be in my locker.
"um.... I think your in my locker" I nearly whispered.
She snapped her head my way. Her fringe bangs flipped out of her face. Her beautiful green eyes bore into mine. She said nothing. Giving a forced smile she looked to her paper. She was thin and beautiful. I chuckled a little bit as I noticed neff beanie that matched mine.
"what's so funny, hot shot?" she snapped. Just then I noticed the hallways were empty.
I was shocked by her tone of voice.
"I didn't mean to offend you or anything...just, we match" I smiled at the last part.
she looked at my beanie.
"oh." she whispered back.
Our eyes locked once again for just a few moments befor she looked at the ground.
"sorry, here's your locker back." she said, pulling her bag and longboard out of her locker. WAIT! WHAT!?! This girl is definately something else. Something I have to have.
I smiled brightly as she moved two lockers over. She looked up at my 5'7 frame one last time before slamming her locker and speed walking down the coridoor.
"My name is River! what's yours?" I yelled down the hall.
She stopped dead in her tracks, turned on her heels and looked Mr over with her eyes.
she smirked "I like the new change, Cross." then continued.
