Valley View [Complete]

Scene 1 - Act 2: Back To School

Cyrus's POV

Its the day before school starts and as usual Im is overthinking on what will happen when I go back.

"what if no one remembers me?? I have changed a bit. Oh god what if all my friends hate me!!" I thought while pacing back and forth in my bland room. I hear a knock coming from the door

"come in!" i say while trying to seem somewhat calm. As my door open i see its my older sister Ambrosia coming in.

"Heya bro! aren't you excited for school to start again!" she says very brightly as usual while basically jumping onto my bed.

"heh, not really you know me I'm overthinking about it a lot.." i say nervously and sit at my desk.

"What's to worry about? I've been in your place and it isn't that bad!"

"Well your class doesn't have the worst people ever! Plus you're popular you don't have any problems with people"

"Cyrus before i was popular I've had plenty of problems. So don't worry you'll survive, now get to bed before dad comes in yelling" Ambrosia says smiling then leaves the room. I sigh then put on some pajamas and go to bed "lets hope tomorrow is good..."

6:30 AM The Next Day

I wake up to my very annoying ass alarm. I tiredly turn it off and get out of bed.

"first day of hell here i go..." i mumble. I slowly walk over to my dresser put on a t-shirt that says 'I have Anxiety', a pair of black jeans then pull on my chartreuse hoodie over my head. While walking down stairs I notice that my dad left already so I relaxed a bit. I go into the kitchen and see Ambrosia and my older brother Alastair sitting at the breakfast table while my mom makes her homemade pancakes.

"Hi kiddo, sit down breakfast is almost ready" my mother says happily while putting pancakes onto three plates. I sit down at the breakfast table next to Ambrosia. A minute later my mom brings over the plates and sets them in front of us.

"So are you kids ready for your first day back at school?" Mom says while sitting down at the table.

"Of course!! I get to see all my friends again I'm so excited!!" Ambrosia basically yells at us with a face full of pancake.

"Yep, I finally can get back to doing sports and hanging out with my buds" my brother says smoothly.

"What about you Cyrus? aren't you happy to see your friends again??"

"Uhm yeah sure..." I lied while poking at my food. After we ate breakfast I ran upstairs to my room to grab my back and made sure i didn't forget anything in case of an emergency. Then I hear yelling from down stairs,

"HURRY UP CYRUS WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!" I then quickly run down stairs and head outside Alastair's car. I hop in and he starts driving to Valley View High probably one of the worst but richest schools in the area. I look out the window and watch us pass by all the houses. Then I look at my school schedule and see what class I have first. Class: English Teacher: Mr. Abbot. Lets hope this class doesn't suck absolute ass like past years. When we get to the school I see a bunch of people everywhere and my anxiety starts to rise up. I've never been good around people so this is pretty normal. Alastair drops me and Ambrosia off at the school entrance then starts looking for a parking spot. While looking around school campus I see a few familiar faces but way to nervous to actually talk to people.

"Hey Ambrosia? mind if I hang with you till-" I say while turning to Ambrosia but she left already then mumble "god dammit..."

I walk into the school and start to look for my locker. When I found my locker I checked the time '7:50, crap I have to find my class before the bell rings.' I check my schedule for the room number and quickly go to the room. After I found my first class it was 7:55, I honestly really hate how confusing this school can be. After a few minutes of waiting a flood of people came into the classroom and noticed that I have majority of the bitchy, rude popular kids. 'this is gonna suck' I thought then I feel someone tapping my shoulder. I turn around and see my friend Natalie.

"Hey Cyrus! Long time no see or texts dude." she says with a bright smile on her face.

"Sorry, I got my phone taken away over the summer to 'enjoy' my family vacation more"

"That's fine! I was just a bit worried"

After that short chat a man probably in his forties or fifties and he kinda looked mean to be honest I think everyone that I'm not friends with i find scary or mean.

"Alright class I'm Mr. Abbot and I'll be your English teacher for the next 180 days" He says in a very rough voice. He honestly looks like he hates this job and probably shouldn't be teaching.

"Alright take one of these pink papers and have your parents sign it and I MUST have it by next class understand?!" Mr. Abbot practically yelled while passing out syllabuses "Now listen while I explain how this classroom shall work and if you disobey any of my rules you shall be kicked out"

"Jeez this guy is a nut job" I thought while not really paying attention to what he's yelling at the class. I tried to not look gay as hell while doodling on my binder as I usually do with basically all my binders. I guess I have to go through this hell every morning and now I have to hope for the best in my next class. After forty minutes of absolute hell the bell rings and we go to our second class of the day. I check my scheduled but before I can even pull it out of my folder I get tackled by someone and drop majority of my things. When I open my eyes I see a very cute and hot guy on top of me. "Oh shit why is there a cute guy on me-"
"HEY CYRUS!!" He yells and cuts off my thought when he gets off of me and I get a better look at his face I'm really surprised that it's my Bestfriend Rowan Mystic.
"Rowan???? Holy crap dude it feels like forever since I've seen you" I say with a bit blush and a smile on my face.
"Dude why haven't you texted? You being a scaredy cat~"
"Of course, it's in my nature"
I looked at the time then quickly checked my schedule for my second class. Ms. Sweets - Art. I notice Rowan is looking at my paper too.
"Yo we have the same art class together!" He says then immediately grabs my hand and drags me over to the art room that's across the damn school. When we get there we sit at a table next to each other and as usual be an awkward mess. After a few minutes I see a woman in probably her late twenties come in and looks really happy and positive.
"Hello students! I'm Ms. Sweets you're art teacher for this year, we will be doing paintings, using oil pastels and learning the basics of drawing!" She says in her really sweet and soothing voice. She's probably going to be the only teacher I'll talk too. After she passed out the syllabus and explained more on what we will be doing next class we are allowed to do whatever till class ends. I actually like this class is so peaceful kinda.
"Hey you wanna hang out after school?" Rowan asks while I doodle on a piece of paper.
"Oh uhm sure! Sounds fun"
"Great! I'll see you after school I guess"
The bell rings and my next class is maths probably the class I will fail the most. I wonder who will be in that class and left hope it's not like last years where it was filled with all the sucky popular kids. I head to my locker and grab my math stuff I bought a few days after we got back from vacation. Then I start walking to math and hope for the best.
