The new kid

"Who's that?" I hear one of my friends ask me as we set up our locker shelves.
"Oh, that's Kolt, he's from Michigan." States Alivia. "He's a family friend." Here's the thing about Alivia... she knows everyone and everything.
"He's kinda cute..." I turn around to see Bella staring at him basically drooling. Kolt isn't even that cute. He's short, probably 5'6 and is really skinny. He's practically swimming in his clothes. He has shaggy brown hair and light blue eyes that look dead and defeated. Since he just moved here he and his older brother, Nate are in lower classes.

I met Nate 2 weeks before school started. My sister and him were sort of a thing at the time, but it didn't last long, he's a player. He just moved here, but he's already slept with half the school. He was so quick to make friends here, apparently he didn't have many friends back in Michigan. Kolt is the exact opposite from what I hear. Apparently, he was really popular at his old school. He was captain of the lacrosse team (even though he was only in 10th grade) and had girls all over him. Now here, in our small town of Curwinsville, PA, no one even acknowledges him.

Riiiiiiinnngggg the bell for second period rings just as I finish reading the syllabus for English.
"Goodbye class. Can't wait to start our Romeo and Juliet unit tomorrow, it's going to be a blast!" Everyone scrambles to pick up their books and race out the door. No one likes that class. The teacher is too intense and I swear she thinks she's married to Shakespeare or something. There's multiple cardboard cut outs of him around the room and posters of all his plays covering the walls.
"She's crazy." Hayden the class heart throb fast walks to catch up to me. I turn and look into his bright blue eyes.
"Yeah, I wonder what her deal is." I respond looking down at my phone.
"She probably just needs to get laid." Hayden winks at me and turns down the hall to meet up with his friends. I laugh to myself as I walk into my next class.

I look around the room seeing who is in my class and who I could sit with until I made eye contact with Bella. She points at the seat beside her and gestures for me to sit there. As I slowly make my way to her I continue to look around and I spot Nate out of the corner of my eye. He smiles at me because Im the only one he knows in this room, and sat in the desk beside me. I turn to him and laugh because he was a 12th grader in a 10th grade class.

"Who was that? Why was he in our class? He looks older." Bella asks trying to figure out how to use the new locks our school insists that we need.
"Kolt's older brother." At this point I am already half way down the hall trying to rush to my next class. "And don't get any ideas!" Bella is really quiet when it comes to boys, but she's boy crazy. She's really pretty, but isn't confident to put herself out there.

I hate walking through the halls alone so I find Hayden and decide to walk with him. I'm a pretty confident person when it comes to boys. My friends are always asking me how I do it, but I don't know what to say. They care too much about what people think and I just don't care anymore. As for Hayden he isn't the most out going person. He's like Bella, every girl is all over him, but he can't talk to girls, except for me.
"You goin to Nate's fire on Friday?" Hayden asks me making a disgusted face. He obviously doesn't like Nate very much.
"Of course I'm going! Who would pass up a time to watch Ava get plastered and completely embarrass herself." Ava is the most popular girl in our grade, and by popular I mean the guys love her. The girls aren't quite fond of her.
"Touché.... I guess I have to go to it now, I can't miss it." I look up from my books and saw Kolt looking at me.
"What's that about?" Asks Hayden noticing Kolts undivided gaze at me. As we pass him he smirks at me, I just pretend I didn't see it and look back at my books.
"Here's my stop." I stand in the doorway of my academic algebra class and notice theres only 4 kids in it. The teacher tells me to sit down, but I can't stop thinking about What happened with Kolt In the hallway.
"Nellie Marie, sit down!"
