Left In the Dark

Chapter 2

Well here’s an update for you!!

Chapter 2

Marie’s POV

Walking into homeroom is nerve wracking, even with Julie at my side. How is she so calm right now? Isn’t she worried about our teacher being bad, or rude, or not liking her? I mean she’s walking in like I would walk around in my house. Relaxed and seeming like she could care less about what’s going on around her. God, why does she seem so calm while I freak out? That’s just not fair.

“Marie!” I hear Jeffrey’s voice. Looking to the direction of his voice I see him and 2 other guys sitting together at the back of the class. Jeffrey motions with his hand for me to come over. Immediately I grab Julie’s hand and pull her over to my brothers. HA! For once I’m not the one being dragged around.

“Jeff. I can’t believe you’re in the same homeroom as me!” I say relieved to have another familiar face. Once I’m close enough I throw my arms around him giving him a hug. I can hear snickering behind me and I turn and see all of his friends staring at me.

The first one to pip up is a guy with very bright blonde hair and quite muscular. He is pretty attractive. I’ll refer to him as ‘Blondie.’ “Who’s this Jeff? You get a girlfriend over the summer and not tell us?” He accuses Jeff, his voice way deeper than it should be, actually a bit creepy how low it is. Well Blondie just got less attractive.

“Yeah man, she’s hot! How could you not tell us?” Another asks, his voice actually sounding normal. This time it’s a guy with black hair, some glasses and wearing a brad paisley shirt. I’ll refer to him as country. 

“Oh gross! Guys she’s my sister!” Jeff exclaims rather loudly. “That’s nasty!”  The look on Blondie and Country’s faces are full of shock and I can’t help it but start laughing when I look at Julie to see her trying to hold back a laugh. As soon as I laugh, I hear her start laughing too. When we finally calm down, I look up and see Jeff and his friends staring at us. Immediately I can feel my cheeks heating up and I look down, hoping to hide it from them.

Blondie turns to Jeff and asks “Are you going to introduce us now at least?”

“Oh right!” Jeff says. “Cody, Mark, this is my sister Marie and her best friend Julie. Marie, Julia these are my friends Cody and Mark.” He tells us all, pointing out who’s, who as he does. Apparently Blondie’s name is actually Cody and Country is actually Mark.

“Hey, it’s nice to meet you!” An excited Julie blurts out. The boys both nod and reply “you too.” Suddenly there is a silence within the group. Talk about awkward. I look up quickly to see them all their eyes flickering around the group. Quickly I put my head back down to avoid eye contact with them.

“Wow, I think this is the quietest I’ve ever heard you guys be ever.” I hear a deep voice say followed by a chuckle. The sound sends shivers throughout my body and for some reason calmed me down a bit. Whoa, that’s so weird how could a single sound send shivers through me and calm me down. “Who are these girls?” I hear the same voice ask. There’s go the shivers again.

“Oh this is Marie and Julie.” I hear Cody say. “They’re freshman.”

“Hi!” I hear Julie’s voice.

“Hi, I’m Wesley.” He says. I look up to say and hi but I become mute. He’s so handsome. Tall and I mean really tall, at least 6’5. Dark hair, strong face and a toned bodied. But I can’t stop looking at his eyes. They are so blue and not just the normal blue, they’re a deep yet light blue. I don’t know how long we stare at each other before Julie’s fingers are snapping in front of my face.
