Today is the first day of my senior year. I've waited for this moment as soon as i stepped through those doors on my first day of freshman year. Time really does just fly by.
Once i walked into school today, everything oddly felt different for me. I guess my mind is just having a hard time wrapping around that this is my last year. My last first day of high school.
I walked over to my group of friends by our usual spot. Before i even got to say hello, my best friend, Violetta, attacks me with me huge hug, almost knocking me to the ground. We both laugh as i look over to my other best friend, Kai, he smiles and hugs me awkwardly. I then greet all of my other fellow mutuals; stella, connor, jude and elle.
We all just started catching up about stuff that happened over the summer. Apparently, Connor and Jude got together over the summer. Amelia traveled basically all across the world. Elle lost her V-card and had a summer fling with some guy from a town over which was like forbidden because our town and the town that guy is from are like rivals. So, it's a pretty big deal. Violetta went to Hawaii all summer and supposedly found her "true self" and Kai and I hung out together most of the summer because we both had nothing planned at all.
"So, Elle, how does it feel to be a woman now?" Violetta joked.
"Its honestly amazing. Thanks for asking." Elle smirked.
"Now we just need to work on getting Juliette and Kai laid." Violetta laughed.
I chuckled and said "Leave Kai and I alone, there's no rush." Kai smiled at me and I put my arm around him as we both laughed.
We all just stood around and chatted a bit more until the bell rang and we all parted ways to get to class. My first class was English and it was on the whole other side of the school. Oddly enough, I was having a bit of a hard time finding the class. You would think after being at this school for three years that I would have it all figured out but no. Not at all, actually. I'm a huge mess.
As I'm roaming the halls trying to locate my class, I notice this boy walking in my direction. He's quite tall, pretty slim but also pretty muscular, dark eyes, dark brown hair with hints of caramel highlights and he's dressed in all black. We both look up at each other and we both exchange slight smiles. As he gets closer to me, he starts to open his mouth and says,
"Do you know where room 545 is?" he asks quietly.
"I'm actually trying to find the same room as well" I laugh awkwardly.
"Oh okay. Cool. Let's try and find it together then." he suggests and I nod.
We both walk silently by each other for a while trying to find this class. Until, he decides to break the silence in between us.
"Are you new here too?" he questions.
"Oh no. I've been here since freshman year."
"Strange." he replies.
"I know it is but i've just never had any classes in this part of the building before." I shrug.
"Very strange." he smirks a bit and so do I.
"So were are you coming from stranger?" I ask curiously.
"I'm coming from Texas." he says playfully with a southern accent.
"That's so cool. I've always wanted to go to Texas." I say excitedly.
"Its really not that great. At least from where I'm from. The bigger cities are better." he explains.
"Wow, stranger. You have just crushed my dreams." I wipe a tear jokingly and we both laugh.
We both walk up and down the halls, still making small talk. At this point, we are no longer looking for the class since we were just so distracted by conversation. By the time we knew it, the next bell rang. We both looked at each other and chuckled.
"So, what's you next class?" he questioned.
"Piano. What about you? I asked.
"I have Pre-Calculus but piano? We have a musician over here." He bumped me a little.
"Music is my whole entire life." I said staring at the ground.
"That's really sick. Music is pretty great." He nodded and I smiled.
"Do you want me to walk you there? He asked.
"Oh, you really don't have to." I shook my head.
"But I want to." He turned and grinned at me and I exchanged a grin back.
We both made our way to the piano room while sparking conversations about little things like our intrests and hobbies and then we soon arrived at the piano room.
"Well, this is my class. I'll see you around, stranger." I said and started to walk away. He then ran after me and gently grabbed my shoulder and I turned around confused.
"Wait, I never got your name." he said.
"My name is Juliet." I greeted.
"Juliet. Pretty." He giggled.
"And yours is?'
"Brendan."
"Brendan. Pretty. Well, I'll see you tomorrow then." I waved.
"Will do." He waved back.
I walked into class and sat in a chair. I couldn't really even concentrate on my work because I couldn't stop thinking about him. Brendan. You're going to get me in a lot of trouble, Brendan, but now, I don't think I really mind that.
