Safe Haven

Hazel

  I smile as I took one final look at myself in the rearview mirror of my brother's car.First impression is important for me.I am wearing my yellow sundress and my pink Keds.My wavy black hair is combed neatly behind my back with cute bobby pins to keep it from falling off my face.

  "Stop it before my mirror breaks." my brother said.He is still sitting in the driver's seat.

  "Im sorry but I guess the mirror thinks otherwise." I answered smiling at him.

  "Its a freakin mirror Hazel,it doesn't have a brain."

  "Well pardon me Zayn but you started this.If you just shut your mouth and didn't-"

  "Okay okay geez.Now go ahead.I'll find a parking place." he scratched the back of his head clearly annoyed making me giggle.

  "Getting rid of me so soon huh Malik?"I asked smirking.

  "Hazel..."

  "Okay!" I raised my hand in surrender."I'll see you later after school?"

  "Yeah.Be good."

  "Hey!You're the one who's supposed to be good.Im a nice student with straight A's and-"

  "Here we go again...get out of my car now before I toss you out." my brother is really annoyed now.I cant help but laugh.

  "Fine." I reached for the door and pushed it open. "But you know you love me,right?" I said smirking at my brother.He stared at me for a second before flashing his dazzling smile.

  "Not a chance sis." he said mockingly.

  "Oh come on!Admit you love me..."

  "No!"

  "Fine then I wont get to class.I'll just hold this car door until-"

  "Okay you win.I love you.There,satisfied?"

  I laugh.He knows how persistent I am.I wont leave until I win.He laughs along with me.

  "Aww...I love you too brother."I slammed the door shut.

  "I hate you!" he yelled as I walk away from his car.I turn my head and blew him a kiss before proceeding my journey to my new school.

  My family just moved here in Penssylvania from London due to my dad's job.I am now in 11th grade while Zayn is in 12th.Its the middle of the semester so its gonna be tough but I dont mind.Nothing's too tough for me.Thats what I learned from my horrible past.I shrug off the memory of my past and continue walking.

  I weave my way to the hallways bumping into unfamiliar students.Some looked at me as if Im an allien while some didn't even bother to give me a second glance.I walk with my head held high not minding the eyes watching me.They dont intimidate me.They're just humans like me.They wont bite.

  The bell rings and I look at my schedule.History is my first class which will take place in room 33.I had some troubles finding the place so I was a bit late.A middle-aged woman in black dress and grey coat,(which I assumed is my History teacher),is already talking in front when I arrived.I knock politely catching her attention.She lets me in and I give her the letter which says Im a transferee.

  "Oh you are the new student?"she has a motherly aura.

  I nod smiling back."Im Hazel."

  "Class this is your new classmate,Hazel.Be nice to her."the teacher said."Im Mrs.Montgomery by the way."she introduced herself.

  "Nice meeting you mam."

  "You too darling.Now please sit besides that boy." she pointed to a curly-haired boy sitting on the left side of the second row.I nod and walk to take my seat.
