Him and The Online Stranger

Chapter 2: The New Kid

We were given:

Two hands to hold

Two legs to walk

Two eyes to see

Two ears to listen

But why only one heart

Because the other was given

To someone else

For us to find

~Unknown~

Toby and I have been going strong for about 3 months. Our relationship isn't like a regular relationship (well duh it's over the internet). We don't argue or have those pointless little fights, like other couples. We're just a regular online couple and I love every second of it.

Of course, I feel a little weird I never met him before and sometimes I feel like there's still something missing. I always pictured my first relationship, one where I could be able to embrace my boyfriend. Not fantasize about Toby being my first kiss. I know what you thinking, how could a 17-year-old girl never have had her first kiss.

Well see, I grew up in the same city, same house, and same school my whole life. Stacy made sure no girl ever tried to be friends with me and no guy would look in my direction all through high school. You could say I didn't exactly help my own case by being socially awkward and antisocial to everyone. But even when I was younger guys weren't big fans of me.

I did get kissed by Charlie Parker in 3rd grade, but I don't count that as a first kiss since Leo Brown dared him to, for a week's worth of chocolate milk. I ran off telling everyone how Charlie gave me cooties, like any normal 3rd grader. Anyways it was on the cheek so it doesn't count. Right?

"Keira?"

Nicole's voice breaks me out of my thoughts.

"Huh?" I replied before bringing my cereal bowl to my mouth to down the rest of the milk.

Nicole gives me a disapproving look before telling me to get going before I'm late for school.

I nod getting up to place my bowl in the dishwasher.

And to the depth of hell, I go.

I walk through the school halls heading towards my locker to grab some necessary books for the first period.

I get to my locker, put in my combination, and grab my books shoving them in my bag. I turn around only to see everybody staring at the entrance of the school. I hear some girls near me say,

"Isn't he so hot!"

"Yeah, I think he might be hotter than William Taylor!"

I roll my eyes. I'm over here thinking everyone starring in that direction because it was some type of emergency, but no, everyone obsessing over a boy, I should have known.

I roll my eyes again, turning on my heels heading straight to class without even bothering to look in the direction of this so-called "hot boy".

I get to class taking my seat at the very front near the window, that gives me a great view of the baseball field. I notice I'm the first one in the classroom since everyone is probably still in the hall starring at Mr. Popular like he's some sort of movie star. Like seriously this is not a Disney movie all eyes aren't supposed to turn when a cute guy walks in the room, but then again this is high school.

As the class finally starts to grow I put my math binder and pencil on my desk, facing towards the front prepared to learn. I guess besides being the school's loner, I'm also the school's biggest nerd. Anyways, waiting for my teacher to arrive was going to be rather annoying since Mr. Baldwin was always late to class. I stare at the empty whiteboard trying my best to tune out the gossiping twins behind me.
