Right There Beside Me

Chapter 2: First Day

Chapter 2               

I wake up to loud shouting and hard thumping footsteps running up the stairs. "WAKE UP ALLY! WERE LATE!" screams my mom and sister in unison, while pushing through my door so hard it makes a loud bang on the wall. 

"W-what?" I stumble. I'm still half asleep. 

My sister rushes up to my bed and tears off my blanket and says calmly, but loudly "Were late and it’s your first day of school." 

"WHAT?!" I scream, almost immediately sitting up from my bed. "Ok, I’m up. Just wait downstairs, I’ll be down in 5 Minutes." I say in a worried voice.

As soon as they leave the room I roll off my bed and get clothes out of a garbage bag labeled with the word “CLOTHING” in messy handwriting. I quickly decide on a plain white v-neck tucked into a pair of light denim short shorts. After tying my hair in a messy bun, I race to my bathroom and look through the cabinets. I find a new toothbrush package and rip it open. Beside that, is a tube of toothpaste, unopened in the cabinet. I squeeze some of it onto my toothbrush and start brushing my teeth hurriedly. After brushing, I grab my old, tattered backpack, stuff in my schedule, Phone, iPod, keys, New Binders and lunch money and dash down the stairs. 

My mom’s eyes widened when she realized how fast I made it downstairs, actually ready to leave. I’m usually not the type to be up and ready on time. “Ok” she says, grabbing her keys off the table. “Let’s go” and we run off into the car.

While our car is carefully pulling out of the driveway, I quickly take out my crumpled schedule. Ok, today would be day 1. I have English with Mr. Haven in room 202.

I was in the middle of unbuckling my seatbell when I heard the bell ring, signaling the start of class. Crap. “Thanks for the ride, Bye mom!” I say already running towards the doors.

As soon as i'm in the hallway, I climb the first set of stairs I see to the second level and find that room 202 is just around the corner. I’m practically sprinting into the class room. Whoops, the teacher was talking to the class. “Um, excuse me, Your late.” Says the old man in the corner. He’s wearing a white dress shirt and tie, paired with a pair of grey dress pants and shiny, new looking shoes. I’m guessing he’s the teacher.

“Uhhh..” I say looking around the room. “My name is Al-.” I stop. Right in the second last row, my eyes meet with  on of THE hottest guy I’ve ever seen in my life. His dark, black hair is spiked up , contrasting with his perfectly tanned face. His dark grey eyes wander off around the room after a while, not noticing that I'm still staring at him, checking him out. One of his ears are pierced, which is hot, and along with that, he’s wearing a tight black t-shirt that shows off his muscles, a pair of dark jeans and white Supra high tops. 

“Excuse me? Miss?” Oh yeah, I was answering a question.

“Oh um sorry.” I say, embarrassed, brushing my hair out of my face. “My name is Ally Brooks. I’m the new student.” As I stand there awkwardly waiting for something to happen, I see the guy in the tight shirt turn  and listen to his friend tell him something. I see him laugh then mouth “I’ll do it” to his friend and then turn back into his seat. 

“Oh, Hi Miss Brooks, welcome t- BRAD PARKER GET OFF THE DESK RIGHT NOW AND STOP DANCING!” Mr. Haven screams, his face turning red. I turn around just in time to see him shaking his ass to the front of the class singing “Sexy and I know it” loudly. Ohh, so his name’s Brad. Brad chuckles and quickly hops of the desk. Mr. Haven turns to him and says in a harsh tone, “Detention! Today after school, 20 minutes.” Then, He turns to me. “Sorry about that Miss Brooks. You may take the seat behind Mr. Parker.” He says with a still, red face. “Oh, and I almost forgot.  We have a strict policy on being late, so I’m going to have to give you detention. 20 Minutes after school today. Don’t let it happen again.” He says, handing me a blue detention slip.
