My New Life At Witchery High

Part 5

Hi I'm not sure if anyone is even reading this story, buy I hope you can leave some comments or suggestions to my previous chapters :)

I can't seem to stop writing for now, and I'm sorry if the chapters are short (coz it's my first story and I was afraid to bore with my long writings), it turned out that I didn't write as much as I thought I did. But it's a consolation, that I can write more, to express tasha's feelings.

Thanks guys :)

Turned out Amanda had Lit and Gym with me.

She shared a few stuff about herself; she was the middle child in the family, having 3 brothers and a pair of cute parents. At least I think they were, from the way she described them.

''You know what, Martin was going on and on about how I should be asking the guy I like out, and Gemma was totally on the same thing.'' Martin and Gemma were her parents, and yes she called them by their names.

''Though I have not told them it's Aiden whom I have a crush on.'' she babbled on.

I still couldn't believe i had made myself such a nice friend on the first day of school. She spilled her entire secrets to me, like we had been friends forever. I felt like I should let her in on some of my stuff, since she so willingly opened up to me.

''We shifted from Alabama to Vale Springs coz dad was setting up his new electronics business over here, his partner is here and they figure a move would be beneficial. My mom used to work as a secretary but she is now helping dad with the business, since she had to leave her job.'' I told her as we walked to the bathroom to change into our gym attire.

I didn't hate gym like most girls, I'm ok with sports so long it's not taking up too much of my energy and being out under the sun. When im out under, I seriously hated the sticky sunscreen lotion I had to apply on my face. And if I skipped the lotion, my freckles says hello to me after 10 mins under the scorching hot sun.

So to save me the misery, I skipped the lotion and the sun.

Coach Truman stood on the field. Today we were going out under the sun instead of hiding away in the gym. That was after a week of rain and dull weather, according to Amanda.

I groaned. So not my day and I didn't bring my sunscreen. I was too lazy to apply anything this morning in a rush to my new school.

My eyes scanned the field. One boy looked me over, and gestured to his friends who was standing in a circle talking.

IT guy turned around. Or rather Ian Tatler for my liking (I would imagine).

He threw a thousand-watt smile in my direction. I gave a tiny smile in return and shyly bent down my head.

''Ian Tatler just smiled at you!!! Why?? Did you know him?? Omg there's Aiden besides him, the black hair guy, did you see him? Just to let you know that one's mine so stormy eyes keep your eyes off him ok.''

Aiden was part of IT trio, he was another tall good looking bloke with a smiley adorable face like Amanda. I think they would look great together as a couple.

We were playing basketball today, Coach splited us into 2 teams and I was in the same team as Ian, Aiden and Amanda.

Great, I didn't suck at basketball and I didn't mind running around abit, since I'm gonna burn under the sun anyway.

I crouched, on standby mode waiting to catch any balls that's gonna fly in my direction.

Amanda winked conspiratorally at me. I smiled back at her.

Coach Truman blew the whistle.

I guessed it must be the guys game anyway, from the competitive way the game went. The girls never had a chance at the ball. I sighed. I thought I was so going into action.

By this time, the ball had came back my way, Aiden grabbed the ball and in a single threw, it landed in Ian's hand . I cheered silently, glad that my team was doing well.

Ian dribbled the ball, looking for someone to pass the ball to. I didn't think he would even pass to me, when the guys seemed intent on winning. And passing the ball to the girls was the last thing they want if they had winning on their minds.

''Tatler! Behind you!'' voices were shouting at him to pass the ball. I looked to the source of the voice, and then I saw blackness in front of me.

The ball hit me. How the heck did the ball come my way?

I stood dazed, numbness spreading from my nose to my face from the impact.

''Tasha, hey you alright? I'm sorry I thought you knew I was going to pass you the ball.'' someone was gripping me lightly by the shoulders, afraid I might collapse anytime.

I looked at the person dazedly, and nodded once.

''I'm ok. I think.''

Ian looked at me with a worried frown.

''Geez Tas, are you ok?'' Amanda squeezed past everyone to get to me.

''Amanda, get her to the nurse, and stay there with her till she feels alright.'' Coach Truman boomed in his authoritative voice.

Being Amanda, she continued on her babbling as to how I was feeling throughout the walk to the nurse room. A headache was already crepting up on me, whether from the hit or amanda's incessant talking I didn't know. I just knew I needed to lie down.

Gym sucked.

My first day of school ended dramatically, in a way I didn't want it to be.

''Mom I'm home!'' I shouted from the front door when I got in.

'' Hi honey, how was first day of school? '' Mom kissed my forehead and looked at me.

''It was fine, but I'm having a headache now. Think the sun during gym got to me.'' I didn't want her to fuss over me by telling her I got hit by a ball. My mom still thinks I'm a baby to them.

''Got take some aspirin and get some rest. I will wake you when dinner's ready''. Mom rubbed my back soothingly.

''Thanks mom.''

That night, I woke up to finish dinner and went back to my room early to rest for next day's school. I reckoned more rest would calm my headache and jitters for tomorrow.

I checked my cell, one missed call from a number I didn't recognize. Couldn't be Amanda, we pumped in each others numbers in our cell before she dropped me home.

Strange.

Feeling restless, I put away my cell and fell into blissful sleep.
