Emotionless

More Encounters

It was freshman year. I attended a performing and visual arts school. How I wish time moved faster. I was in my first class of the year known as Writing Seminar. What is it? It's a class where we do writing analysis along with pictures. I sat in the front of the class early as ever. I didn't talk to no one but instead I just sat there and be quiet. The teacher came in and introduced herself as Ms.Parker. She had short curly hair and always smiles a lot. She introduced the expectations of the class and the rules this high school expects us to offer.

She gave us cards and told us to write our names and three things that we like such as music, hobbies, sports things we are interested in. I wrote down what she told us

Willow Evergreen
- Rock or punk music
- cheesecake
- blue purple white red and black

Next she gave us numbers and were put into groups. I was in the back next to the door. I was in a group with two girls and a boy. It was awkward and quite. I wanted to walk out at any moment. Next thing we know it she had us do icebreakers and I swear my heart skipped a beat when she said that. Along with my luck I was group 2!?!!Great! First day of school well actually......more like first day of high school!!!! I'm gonna be made fun of!!! I'll be a laughing stock up till graduation. When our group was called this boy named Chris said my card out loud to the class. I was embarrassed......now everyone thinks I'm a weird freak. When he was done reading my card I saw someone moved happily. I looked and saw a girl. She looked familiar but where have I seen here? I snapped back to reality as I read one of the other groups card. It finally got to a girl, the girl introducing another girl known as Harper Annlee.

Too my surprise she likes the same things that I do. Will music wise. Now that I think of it.....she looks really familiar but I don't know where. Any how, who would've thought she would have the same interest of me. She doesn't look like a girl to listen this type of music. Then again you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

First period ended and I went through most of my classes up until fourth period. After fourth period it was lunch. I was sitting on the benches by myself eating my lunch. No one seemed to bother me so far so that must be a good sign. I checked the time on my phone since the school doesn't have a bell. It was almost time for my next class so I hurriedly finished my lunch and started heading to class.

It was P.E. but we had two choices. Dance or regular P.E. between the two I choose dance. I thought it will be interesting and fun even though I don't know how to dance and I mentally cursed myself for just realizing I don't know how to dance and I'm gonna be a fool. As I was waiting for the teacher to arrive a girl in her junior year came up to me. Her name was Rose.

"Hello! The name is Rose why are you doing here all by yourself?" She asked. "Oh! I will.....don't have friends here...." I said looking down. "Really! Will come with me!" She said gesturing to follow her. I followed her hesitantly. She lead me to another girl the same girl in my 1st period class. "Harper! Come over here!" Rose called out to her. The girl named Harper came up to her and she smiled. "You guys know each other?" I asked. "Nope! We just met!" Rose replied, "I just saw you being a loner over there so I thought you can hang out with us!" She added. "Oh I see." I said back. I hope it's not one of the girls that takes pity out of people and tell her to join her group for popularity.

"Hello! I'm Harper!" She introduced herself. "I'm Willow." I said back. It was awkward for a bit until Rose brought up a question to start a conversation. "So what middle schools did you guys came from?" She asked. "I came from Stefan Middle School." Harper said. "Really? I went there as well!" I said. "Really! I never seen you there though!" She said. "I was new there I only went there for 8th grade." I said shyly. "Ohhhh no wonder why!" She said, "Will did you meet anyone in Stefan?" She asked. "Only three people.....Kyla, Sara, and Gloria." I said. "You were with them! I never seen you around them though!" Harper said surprised. "Yea....I tend to blend in with the crowd." I said. It soon got quiet and the conversation died down. Rose started talking with Harper about something, and all I did was stayed quiet because I don't know anyone that well. Soon the teacher came and took role she introduced herself as Ms.Lero she was kind of short for a teacher to be honest.

She showed us some hand and feet positions. Along with some vocabulary words we have to write five times each and told us we're gonna have a test on the words in a few weeks. So far the first day of school isn't bad. Harper and I would talk a few times during class and asks me question like where I was from and if I enjoyed Stefan basic stuff.

I can see why people wanted to be her friend. She's nice and friendly and always hyper. She didn't seem to judge me at all. I can't imagine anyone hating her to be honest. She's so happy and really outgoing. Would she ever make a friend with me? A broken girl with not too much time to live?

I guess I'll just have to find out.....
