Collide

Chapter One

I woke up at the annoying sound of the alarm clock. I hate it when someone or something's waking me up. It was already 6 am,and it's the first day of school. I don't want to be late at my 7 o'clock class,so I headed towards my en-suite and let the warm water drip down my body. I wore a skinny jeans that matches with my plain white tee and my red Keds. I'm not that type of girl who'd put make-ups on their faces,instead I just brush my light brown hair,grab my bag,cellphone, and car key and headed downstairs where both my parents are already sat in the dining table.

"Hey sweetie,what took you so long? It's already 6:47. Are you planning on being late on your first class?" Mom said,with a little worry on her tone.

"No Mom,I'm just.....nervous."

"Honey,you don't have to be nervous. All kids in this town are good. And besides,you have Jasper here,right?" Dad said. He trusts Jasper in taking care of me when he's not around. Jasper's my bestfriend since we were little. He's like my brother now. He moved from this little town a few years ago. So we haven't seen each other for that long.

"Yeah. I'm just -- I'm not used with the kids here."

"You'll get used to them honey. Just make friends." Mom said.

"Okay,okay. I better go. It's getting late." I said,and kissed them both in their cheeks.

"Honey,you need to eat your breakfast first!" Mom called,as I headed towards the door.

"Maybe next time Mom. I'm already late. Bye,love you both!"

I hopped in to my car, and put the car in ignition. Before I step in the gas pedal, I get my phone from my pocket and dialed Jasper's number.

"Hey," he said, with an excitement in his tone. "Where are you? The class will start in about 10 minutes."

"Hey Jas, I'm on my way to school. It's only a ten-minute drive from here."

"Yeah, but I'm quite sure that you will find your first room first. Since you're not yet familiar in this school."

"Ugh! Shit, never think of that, huh."

"Okay now, get on your way and drive safely!" He said, with a father-like tone. I love it when my best friend cares a lot about me.

"Yup, thanks. Bye." I hang up and drive to school.

After exactly 10 minutes, I'm on the parking lot of the school.

I get out of my car and get my bag. It's already 7:06. I'm sure the teacher's not yet there. I'm finding my room and suddenly I bumped into someone's chest.

"Whoa, miss. Watch your step." The guy said, smirking.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I said, without even stopping.

When I look to whom I bumped into, my eyes widen at this creature - I took a big gulp. I can't believe I'd seen a creature as perfect as him.

He's ..... hot. His chocolate brown eyes still staring down at me. This guy's a lot taller than me, his lips has the perfect shape, his black or maybe dark brown hair looks good with that brush-up hairstyle. He's wearing v-neck white tee with sunglasses hanging on it.

After about a minute, I shook my head and walks fast as I could. What I did is embarrassing. I looked at him that long as if I'm checking him out. Well, yeah, I really do. Yeah, I do. Who on earth won't look or won't admire that guy? But I don't want him to think that I like him. I'm not that type of a girl who'd show off just for their crushes to notice them.

Oh, shut up Cassie! It's not the right time for this.

It took me about 15 minutes to find my first room. I didn't bother to call Jasper, maybe their teacher's already in their class and I don't want to get him in trouble. I enter from the back door of the room, so that no one will notice me.

"There you go. Miss, I'm sure you're the new student in this senior class. Mind telling us your name?" The teacher said, maybe annoyed because I'm late?

"Uhm, hi everyone. My name's Cassie Smith." I said shyly, but with a little smile. And before I take a seat, I noticed everybody staring at me, just the usual stare because I'm new. Except for that guy. He's staring at me differently.

As I take a seat, I noticed him still staring at me. That guy, is the one I bumped into a while ago. I didn't pay attention to him, but to the teacher who's talking in front.

Only 5 minutes left in this class,I look at him,and he's still staring at me.

The bell rang signaling the end of our English class.

I look at that guy, he's packing his things into his backpack. Before he leave the room, he take a look at me and smile.

Gosh, why on earth would he smile at me?

Maybe he likes you, Cassie. Said the annoying voice in my head. Maybe. I hope so.

What the hell are you talking about, Cassie?! Stop it! Please!

When he got out of the room, I get my phone and called Jasper.

"Jas! Please get me here in room 203,I need to go to my locker." I said, panicking.

"Hey Cass, will you please calm down? I'm on my way there, wait for me."

Gladly, after a two-hour spending in class, we have that 30 minute-break. They said to refresh our minds.

I felt someone hold the small of my back and push me(not that hard, in a way that he's guiding me) forward. I look at my shoulder to see Jasper smiling. I smiled back at him.

"Hey Jas! I missed you! Look at you, you're grown up!" I said ,hugging him tightly. He's a little bit taller than me, but that guy I bumped into is much taller than Jasper. Jasper has changed, or should I say, transformed himself into this good looking guy. His hair used to be so wet because of sweats when we're playing, but now....he looks good with that brush-up hair, maybe he applied a little wax on it. Nothing's changed with his eyes, it's still the comforting eyes I've ever seen. He's wearing a blue tee which looks good on him.

"You too Cas, you looked a lot prettier." he said, looking at me up and down.

"You always say that." I said sarcastically.

After a couple of minutes of silence, he changed the subject.

"So, how's your first class?" he said, with an excitement in his tone. As if he's the new student here.

Should I tell him about that guy?

"Fine, it's good. The teacher's have that great potential to make her students listen to her. But, she's not that old. Maybe late thirties. But she looks younger in that age huh?" I said, recalling the face of our teacher.

We're now standing in front of my locker.

"So, are you joining me in lunch later?" I asked him, whilst getting the books that I need for the next class and put it inside my backpack.

"Not just for lunch, but always." He said, winking.

"That's why I love you buddy." I said, smiling.

After I locked my locker, I see him again, staring at me.

What the hell is wrong with that guy?
