Leap of Faith

The Tea That Started It All

This is it I guess I should bite the bullet and get it over and done with, you see it's my first day of school in America I'm exchange student from Australia, they have me attending this school called 'the Bronx school of science.' So yeah that pretty much tells you I'm a nerd. Anyway, so I start my walk up the stairs to the front gate that's when this idiot ran into and spilt tea all over me.

"Oh, shit sorry, sorry are you okay."

"No, you idiot you just spilt your tea al...." It wasn't in till I looked at him I realised how cute he was and I started stumbling over my words as usually. He had this soft curly hair, brown eyes, and an eyebrow that stuck out at a funny angle but my god he was cute, that's when I realised I was staring, shit I was staring!!

"Next time look where you're going" is all I manage to say trying to leave the situation with some shred of dignity. I walk through the front doors of the school that's when I notice a guy holding a sign with my name written on it and some other guy called Jacob Kelly written under it.

"Hey, are you the person who is meant to give me the tour."

"Uh yeah hi I'm Sam Moodie and you are"

"Daniel Law nice to meet you." I say as I extend my hand to shake his

"So, you're the one from Australia, sorry but we have to wait for Jacob he's new as well."

"Okay sure thing, is he and exchange student as well?" as I ask the question the moron who ran into me earlier walk up and shake hands with Sam.

"Hi, I'm Jacob, nice to meet you"

"Hi Jacob, I'm Sam this is Daniel."

"Don't worry with introductions he didn't break the ice he melted it when he dropped his tea all over me." I felt bad but I couldn't help myself Sam lost it laughing and Jacob went bright read, damn it I don't know how he managed but he looked even cuter. Then he had to start laughing.

"Sam where are there toilet I would like to go clean up a little anyway."

"Oh, um down this hall third door to your left."

"Thanks" I get to the toilets and take my shirt of and start cleaning it under the water and trying to clean it off me so I'm not sticky all day. Half way through drying the shirt I hear the door open and look up to see its Jacob walking in.

"I really am sorry about spilling tea all over you."

"Hey, don't worry about it honestly it's not that bad, so where are you from anyway are you and exchange student too?"

"No actual I just transferred schools from another state, what about you?"

"Well I'm an exchange student from Australia, I moved to you know get away and travel a little."

"Australia really that so cool, I've always wanted to go there looks like such a beautiful country but the spiders yuck." He shivered when he said spiders which was so cute.

"I hate spiders so much and I live in a place full of the which sucks sometime but the beaches make up for it I guess" I put my shirt on and we leave back out the way we came to find our tour guide.

The rest of the day went buy quickly Jacob and I spent recess and lunch with each other. We also had chemist and English together. It was good to have someone to talk to. Jacob made a few friends that day but I prefer to keep to myself. When school finished I made my way down to the park near the school and picked up a coffee on the way there.
