Starstruck/ Zach Herron

"Wake up Cameron, you don't want to be late to your first day of school" my dad shouts through the doorway of my room.

Ugh
I throw my pillow over my head and scream. I though I'd be happy about going to school but I'm not. There's not even that much school left and I have to be that awkward new kid that most likely won't make any new friends which that won't be new.

I get out of my bed and walk to my closet at a speed of .02 miles per hour. Man I'm quick. I pull out an oversized turtleneck and high waisted baggy jeans because being thrifty is great. I go to my bathroom and but my shortish brown hair into and messy low bun.

I don't put on makeup and keep it natural and then grab my bag and walk down stairs.

I see my mom preparing a smoothie for me. I go up to my mom and ad and give them hugs and say good morning.

"Cameron there's been a boy waiting outside for a few minutes" my dad says.

I scrunch my eyebrows in confusion and look out my window to see Zach in his car anxiously tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. Why's he here I question myself.

"I'll go ask him why he's here I'll be back" I tell my dad.

I jog up to Zach's car and tap on the window. He looks up at me and rolls the window down.

"why are you here" I ask him.

"Wow thanks seems like you don't want to see me" he says rolling his eyes.

Not really I think

"Anyways get your bag I'm taking you to school"

I roll my eyes and run inside to tell my parents. Allison hears and starts freaking out ha. I grab my smoothie and school bag and head out the front door once again.

I open Zach's car door and get in the passenger seat. I buckle up and tell Zach the directions to our destination and then we're off.

"So why'd you want to take me to school?" I ask leaning my head against the side and staring at him. I notice how he has little freckles and how brown is eyes actually are.

"I wanted to say I'm sorry about last night. I shouldn't have invited Loren when I made plans with you to show you around la. I totally ditched you for the boys whom you barely know and that was a dick move and taking you to school is the least I could do"

Oh wow I would have never expected him to apologize.

"It's ok and thank you. By the way, I don't think Loren likes me" I say shrugging

Zach gives me a shocked face
"Really! She said how she thought you were really pretty and wants to be friends with you" wow she's fake.

"Ehh ok" I say not wanting to further this discussion.

Soon Zach pulls up to a building saying school of arts at the top this is it. I can finally go to a school where people are similar to me.

"Thank you" I tell Zach and I get out of the car and start to shut the door but Zach stops it.

"Good luck and I'll pick you up"

"Ok see you later" I wave and walk to the main entrance where the office is. I walk inside and wait behind two kids. After they get what they needed I wait for the secretary to notice me.

She looks up at me "Hello I'm Cameron Reese and am here to pick up my schedule," I look down to see her name "Mrs. Lee"

The middle aged women nods her head and starts typing what I assume is my name into the computer. After a couple seconds she gets up and walks over to the printer and hands me my schedule.

"Here you go honey, hope you have a good first day" she says and smiles. I smile back and thank her. I walk out the office and into the hallway to find my locker and put in my combination. I grab my things for my first hours and find the room.

_____

Throughout the day every hour was the same, walk in with the whole class staring at you like you're a creep, introduce yourself and then sit it the back like a lonely person.

The school isn't so bad though, I have a few art classes and my core classes are only a half hour. Because it's a school of arts the teachers take creativity more seriously and could honestly care less about math,science, social studies and language.

I sit in my last hour waiting for the bell to ring when I feel someone tap my shoulder. I turn around to see a boy with dirty blonde hair that looks around sixteen years old. He has blue eyes and has more of a muscular build.

"Hello, I'm Ethan. You're new right?"

"Indeed I am I say chuckling" please don't be awkward Cameron. He laughs with me and I sigh in relief.

  "Well you can hang out with my friends and I if you want. I know what it's like being the new kid and it sucks not being welcomed by your peers." He says nodding.

"Thank you, you're actually the first person that's talked to me here" right as Ethan is about to say something the bell rings and I hurriedly get to my locker and exit the building.

  I look around and find Zach leaning against his car waiting for me. Not going to lie, he looks cute right now. I blush as I think about him and walk up to him.

"How was your first day?" He asks.

"Could've been better but I at least talked to someone" he nods and opens the car door for me to get in. I thank him and he drives to my house.

During the drive we talk about how he's actually a drop out and I mess with him about it. He drops me off and I thank him and run into my house. Today wasn't that bad.
