When He Walks By

Chapter 1

Chapter One:

Senior year.

Everything needs to be...well, perfect. I do rule the school after all. People have high expectations around here so you have to be a goody goody to get what you want. Being in the "bad crowd" would be social suicide. Every time the bad ass kids comes around everyone cowers down. Luckily we don't have too many of those kids so I am safe. Right? I think I'm just getting paranoid because tomorrow is the first day back to school.

After I pad down the hall and pass my parents room i turn right into the bathroom. I flick the light on and pull my hair into a sloppy ponytail. After I am done washing my face I brush my teeth and make my way back to my bedroom. Once I close my door I pull out my pj's from the dresser and slide them on. Once I get to my bed I glance at the clock and realize it's 11:00.

I close my eyes and feel sleep creeping up on me and I welcome it. Slowly I fall into a deep, deep sleep.

I reach to my right and hit my alarm clock so it shuts up. I slowly pull the covers off of me and make my way to the bathroom. Once I get there I pull out a fresh towel and hang it up by the shower. When the water is hot enough I step in letting the warm water cascade down my body. Once I am done, I step out onto the bathmat and wrap the towel around my body and pull out the hairdryer. When my hair finally dries I tiptoe down the hallway to make sure I don't wake my parents. After I pull out my outfit for the day I look in the mirror. My wavy golden blonde hair falls down and stops about my mid back, and my teal hi-lo skirt shows my legs off just right and I matched the skirt with a white lace patterned tank and gold metallic flats.

I grab my bag and phone and descend down the stairs, go through the living room and make my way into the kitchen. I am not much of a breakfast eater so I grab an apple and go back out into the living room. To my surprise my parents and coming downstairs dressed in their normal suit and dress attire they wear to work every morning. I guess they have and early meeting this morning.

"We have an early meeting with a client this morning so we have to head out but we will be back from work by 10 at the latest. We have a lot to do today. Have a good day Bea." my mom says. I just roll my eyes and continue to walk over to the couch in the living room. When I am situated I pull out my phone and text John, my boyfriend.

Me: hey, what time are you going to pick me up?

John: I am on my way now (;

Me: alright see you soon (:

I always love it when he sends me smiley faces. I dont know why, it just makes me happy. When I hear his car pull up I walk up to the front door and lock it behind me. John leans over from the driver's seat and opens the passenger seat for me. I quickly step inside and we drive off to school.

When we arrive my three best friends come running up and engulf me in a big hug. We all giggle for a moment and walk up to the school chatting about what the new year has in store for us. When we walk in the doors a guy catches my eye. He is very tall, probably 6 foot and he has brown spiked up hair. He is wearing dark jeans, a white t-shirt and a black leather jacket. He is standing up against a wall with a smirk on his face. He catches me staring and the smirk gets bigger. I feel my cheeks heat up and I break eye contact with him. One of my friends, Kate, said "who's that" before I can even get the words out. "That is the new kid. I heard that he went to jail for beating a kid up until he passed out so he had to transfer to this school. I think his name is Jake." says Holli. Holli is a true gossiper. She knows all of the secrets floating around the school and if she dosen't know something she finds out one way or another.

"Is he another one of the crazy bad boys?" Marissa asks. "Yep." shit. this year might turn out to be different then I had in mind.
