The Social Outcast

The Strange Surprise

When I arrived to London, I said goodbye to the man I met and we went our seperate ways.

I entered my new 2 bedroom condo, it was completely different from my old apartment. It was bigger and had a large window in every bedroom while the old one only had a window in the bathroom. It also had milky white walls and a black carpet throughout the rooms, including the living room. The kitchen and dining room had black marble tiles and black cabinets to put spices and other ingredients. My old apartment had a brown carpet,a beige wall, and white tiles that were slowly crumbling away. In short, my new home was amazing!!!

Since I moved a week before my 10th grade year commenced, I spent my first week in London getting ready for school.

So now, here I am, in front of my new school, feeling scared, anxious, and nervous. I went to get my schedule and felt someone shove my shoulder. I fell on the floor so I didn't get a good look at them, they didn't even help me up or say sorry...jerk.

After that incident, I grabbed my schedule and went to my first period class, English with a teacher named Mr.McGill.

I walked into the classroom and got the corner seat right next to the window....my favorite sitting spot, it's always so peaceful. Or at least I thought it would be.

About 5 minutes after the late bell rang, someone opened the door. (Since it was the first day, the teacher didn't make a big deal about it) A tall boy with chestnut hair and emerald green eyes walked in. He had a white plain t-shirt, black straightly fitted jeans, and black converse, that were slightly dirty. when I saw his familiar face, I automatically knew......it was the boy from the picture.

As he started walking to a seat, my surprised self noticed there were 3 spots left, a seat next to mine, a seat next to a boy with a scene black hair cut, and a shy looking girl with natural red head curls (she seemed new too, by her nervous features). He walks closer to the direction where the girl and I were.

At first, I thought he was heading where the girl was, but then he passed the seat and headed my direction.  As he sat next to me, everyone stared in awe, by the looks of it, he is the popular guy every girl wants. He is dangerous, he should have sat with the red head. I don't like the attention of eyes staring at me, I like being the type of person who stayed cooped up in a room reading books about adventures and teen life and watching sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory and Friends.
As I recognized my nervous fidgeting and clammy hands, I looked out the window for reassurance and peace, but it was ruined by the bitter eyes glaring at me. After a few seconds, the glaring eyes slowly drifted away and left me in peace....At least that's what I thought.

I turned from the window to the teacher explaining the rules of his class and recognized the familiar pair of emerald green eyes staring at me...again. Doesn't this guy have anything better to do when he's bored, like I don't know.. DRAW MAYBE?!  I looked to see the boy in the picture staring intensely at me. Trying to ignore him, I started spinning my pencil back and forth, but as expected, it was no help. In a turn of events, I ended up staring back waiting for him to look away, but he didn't. Instead he stared harder...this went on for about 2 minutes until he finally gave in and said "you have beautiful eyes"

Ugh stop please! If you were a normal looking boy, this would be cringey. It's still corny though so you're not if the hook.

With that comment, I felt myself heat up from his, may I say creepy complement of my eyes. I looked away to cover my bashfullness. "Is that why you were staring" I said as calmly as possible, still looking away.

"Not just that, your hair too, and your face" he said with no hesitation.

Freak?!

Now I felt like an idiot, he caught me off guard and I was speechless. I ended up playing with a strand of my long,black, wavy, hair trying to calm down the rosiness of my nearly pale face.

I guess he noticed my tensed reaction because he had smug grin on his face. "You're not used to compliments there, are you girl" I replied to his comment by simply saying no. He then showed an amused grin "I can tell... I can see you're red face quite well, you know."

I was surprised he noticed when I was trying so hard to avoid him seeing my face. "You are obvious, it's hard not to notice" he said like he read my mind. "Ooooh" was all I can say. I guess he found my lack of speech amusing because he had a goofy grin on his face that irritated my soul. "You can hide the red cheeks... but you do realize that you're fidgeting doesn't help and you're facing the window sweet heart."

I was embarrassed that I thought I would be safe from him noticing blush by facing a window. After he clarified that the window wasn't helping me out in this situation, I finally faced him..still red as a cherry. He seemed surprised, probably by how red I can get. "Here I am making you blush and I don't even know your name". It took me a few seconds to reply because I was still pondering if I should say my name or not.

"S-Scarlet Heart and yours" I finally pulled my words out. He smirked and taunted " What if I don't want to give you my name?" I gave a devilish glare at him and trying to calm myself, I put my hands into fists. "That eager to know my name girly" he teased with a smug grin. Seeing that his sick sense of humor wasnt amusing me in the slightest, he finally said " I'm just kidding, it's Ethan Knight, and I am at your service my lady."

After hearing my slight giggling sound (not yet a giggle) at the way he mocked his last name, his grin grew and that's when I noticed the teacher glaring at us." Wipe the grin off your face, you're not making a good first impression, and that goes to both of you." After that comment both of us looked at the Mr.McGill and pretended to pay attention.

I wasn't sure if I should keep myself from strangling my teacher........because now I was being stared at by my whole class!!!
