[Chapter 1]The Greeting

Author's Note: Hey!!! so welcome to this new story. Idk what else to put in here lol just enjoy I guess pfft. BTW the song has nothing to deal with the story or when to play it so just enjoy some tunes while you're reading pffttt.

I've been known to be an introvert but there were always some advantages to being one. I was never known to chat with others because of my anxiety. When I'm behind the scenes I always found myself in a peaceful state of mind that can allow me to analyze and understand my classmates without communicating with them. It may sound lonely or even taken as crazy but it's just the way I function. High School will start in a week and who knows what's yet to come. Especially how the way things turn out last year when I was a freshman.

Oh sorry, did I even mention my name? If not... Hello, my name is Sean Jackson.

A week later.....

The school was the last thing on my mind I had so many priorities and was worrying about college and my future in general. In the middle of my 2nd Period, I started sketching on my notebook out of boredom. little did I know the whole class was staring at me for my unnecessary behavior for the professor saw with fury. "I don't enjoy you sleeping in my class Mr.V" I shut my sketchbook in embarrassment, "Yes sir it won't happen again".

Say hello to Mr.Dean he may be strict but is a very good mentor. It pains me to not listen to his class but with my conditions, I just can't focus on anything at the moment even if I attempted to. Mr.Dean was always very outgoing and understanding and his methods seem reasonable but he expects so much from me that the pressure just gets in my head about the future coming up. I like to keep things private with teachers but if I had any problems with students I'll probably confront him to talk about my struggles.

Lunch Period

I sat down with my 2 closest friends Alyssa and Damien; the lunch room was always packed with students but it never bothered us for we eventually got used to the whole fiasco of things. Alyssa was a music nerd at heart. She listened to so many genres that some people never even heard of them. Damien is a little bit on the shy side but can be very extroverted when he is with the right crowd. I relate to him in a way.

We talked for a good 20 mins then Alyssa looks at my face with disappointment. " you realize you haven't dated anyone in years right? try to talk to someone again than hanging out with our group. I love you and all but you really need to get out or something at least." Damien nodded in agreement since he couldn't speak; for he was eating a sandwich with crumbs on his face.

With disbelief, I say "Alyssa, I appreciate that you're worried but I don't want to put my heart on the line already. I'm just not prepared for what's to come at the moment." She looked down silent for a few seconds and then let out a long sigh. "I know.. it's just I wish you can meet with someone that can make you happy that's all." Damien wipes his mouth full of crumbs and says "I agree with Alyssa but try when you're prepared I guess" he then took another bite of his sandwich.

We finished eating and then parted ways to do our own doings. Alyssa's words kept boggling in my mind. I knew she cared and will be happy for me either way but I just don't want to risk someone's heart ripping in two once more. Then I hear the speaker go off in the most demanding and almost threatening manner."

"SEAN  JACKSON CAN YOU PLEASE COME TO THE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY."

Anxiety hit me like a tsunami. I don't believe I did anything wrong; how can I when it's this early in the year? Out of nervousness I walked quickly near the office and entered inside. Unlike other offices in your school district, ours was... "unique". The staff had never cared about the appearance of the school nor their attitude to other students it's almost like we're the babysitters of the uncontrollable adults.

I've been greeted by a middle-aged woman while smoking a cigar. "Enter the principal's office," she said with a stubborn look. I reply "Excuse me, why am I here though." The annoyed staff looked at me with her dead eyes and took her cigar out of her mouth while raising her voice. "Enter The Principal's Office" I slowly nodded while walking off from the odor of cigarettes.

Before I knew it when I walked into the room I was greeted by the Principal Mrs.Clark. This woman will be the most interesting people you'll meet she could be outgoing in a split second but then instantly change her mood over one action. She is very kind but her overall demeanor is inhuman.

"Hello~!!! Sean!" Mrs. Clark says as she gives me a hug. From the shocking introduction, I  end up to spit these wors out. "Oh um... Hello?? can you please let go?" She stops hugging me with almost sadness and despair in her eyes then turns around with her back facing me. "I didn't mean it like that Mrs. Clark!!" she turned around and replied to my comment "It's alright I understand it's just teenagers."

I'll like to ask you a question. Do you want to participate in the Fundraiser? Feeling surprised I say "Miss..... you want me to participate in the fundraiser?"

The fundraiser... an event that happens every year to raise up money for the school since you can tell we really need. The fundraiser is a way for students to think of creative ideas for a festival that will happen at the end of the school year. I never was known to participate in these gatherings for I found them very boring and selective, but this sounds very... intriguing.

"Of Course~!! Why would we not want you? I know you declined last time but it doesn't hurt to ask once more." Without even thinking I said yes. Little did I know there was a catch... "Okay!! Unlike last year though we only allow 2 members at a minimum so you will be partnered up with Cole!!"

Next thing you know the anxiety runs back while I was being pushed into a meeting room with this other person. You remember when I said I know people from seeing them around classes, hallways and what not? Well just to inform you...

I've never seen this guy at all. He was basically a stranger.

His figure was average wasn't bulky or scrawny and was also tall, he wore a collared shirt and some ripped jeans his hair was done straight but you can see some curls popping out here and there.

He took a good look at me and noticed the random staring. The boy said "Ummm... I don't know about you but my eyes are up here?" I facepalmed myself when I heard the principal say behind me "Okay!! you two should get to know each other quickly and then start thinking of ideas for the festival" with a smile a little bit too wide and slams the door shut. I start apologizing to the boy "Hey... yeah sorry didn't mean it to look weird or anything."

The figure smiles and then hands out his hand "It's alright my name is Cole"  I took out my hand and did a handshake.

"Sean"

Cole seemed very genuine so at least I'm not paired with an airhead, but I am curious of what journeys are to come.

To Be Continued...
