Boy Friend or Boyfriend?

New Girl

CHAPTER 1:

        I walked into chemisty. It was my first day at Iridium High. I walked to an empty spot, and sat. I hoped that there wasn't a seating chart, which would make it awkward, because I would be sitting in someone's seat. 

        I glanced around the classroom, there were posters covering the walls, and science equiptment bulging out of cabinets. It was a fairly small classroom. I was in somewhat of a day-dream thinking about the class, and my other classes, and how I would fit in at Iridium High, when suddenly, a blue notebook plopped on the table next to me, snapping me out of my day-dream. 

        I looked up, and saw blue shining eyes on the face of the boy who stood above me.

        "Hi, I'm Daniel, are you new?"

        I smiled, "Yeah, I just transferred." I couldn't help but stare at his glistening white teeth.

        "Well, what's your name? And, welcome, to Iridium High. Want to know how this school works?"

        I blushed, I forgot to introduce myself. Hoping Daniel wouldn't notice my blushing, I said, "I'm Emma, Emma Alonso. And I'd love to know how this school works."

        He smiled, "Well, there isn't much to know, Emma Alonso. Just the fact that there are three girls, Maddie, Sophie, and Katie. They call themselves 'The Panthers' and they pretty much rule the school."

        "I see," I said, then I remembered. "Is there assigned seating? Because I don't want to be in anyone's seat." I said, starting to gather my stuff. 

        "No, no. Well, there is assigned seating, but no one sits next to me anyways. There was someone, but he moved away."

        "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." And just then, the bell rung and the teacher, Mr. Kana waltzed in and class got started.

        *RING RING*

        "Okay class, read pages 54-68 in your Chemisty textbook and complete page 62 in your workbook. Have a nice day!" Mr. Kana said.

        I gathered my things, and said bye to Daniel. I walked outside and towards my locker.

        "WAIT UP EM!" 

        I turned around and saw Daniel walking towards me.

        "Hey Daniel!" I said, grining. He called me Em, I thought.

        "Want me to show you around school?" he asked.

        "That'd be great!" I said, opening my locker. I was putting my book away, when I noticed Daniel opening the locker on my right. "Is this your locker?" I asked, gesturing towards the one he was opening. "I mean, of course it's yours, why else would you be opening it." I said quickly. "Heh-" I managed, blushing and awkwardly smiling.

        Daniel smiled back, "You're cute you know that? Funny, quirky, and cute. Yes, this is my locker." he said, gesturing towards it. 

        I thought to myself. He called me cute! Well, he probably didn't mean it by my looks, he probably meant it like quirky. I'm quirky to him, great Emma, great first impression.

        "Hey Andi!" Daniel called, waving towards a girl, a little shorter than me, with colorful highlights in her hair. "Remember, practice later at 4! Don't be late, again."

        The girl walked over, "Yeah yeah Daniel, calm down." She smiled at me, "Hi, I'm Andi. How unfortunate you had to meet Daniel. I apologize for his weirdness."
