the new girl

Chapter 1: new school

I walked down the hall with people turning heads, talking, and asking questions. "Who is the new girl?" "Where did she come from?" I also over-heard a few conversations as i was putting in my combination to the lock on my locker. "Did you here about her being kicked out of NewWood?" "I heard that she was scared to fight Amy Ander so she moved schools" I smiled and let out a quiet giggle at the rumors that had already been spread throughout the school and it wasn't even first period yet.

The tardy bell rang for first period, and I realized that I would be late. I searched  from door to door to find room 245 until a tall, muscular guy walked out of the library. He seemed as though he was an athlete to some sport. He had brown hair, and a tan to prove that he stayed outside alot. " having trouble?", he asked from down the hall. "umm, well.... yeah, i'm kind of lost", i stuttered as i got lost in his deep blue eyes and his gorgeous smile. "Where you headed?" " umm, room 245" , i said with a confused and pitiful look on my face. "Well, i could be mean and send you across the road to the science lab or i could tell you that it's the room right behind you." I turned to face a door with white stickers stating ' room 245'. Then I spun around with a blushing face, and noticed that he was laughing. "well...  umm,guess i.. found it." I said as I glanced down to keep from looking into his eyes, "thanks for the help, umm?" " Jake" he said with a questioning look as to be asking for my name. " well then, thank you, jake. And my name is Emma." "nice to meat you emma, and seeing as you are new here, i think you should be getting to your first class, but i hope i see you around. Maybe I could give you a small tour of the school, i mean... so you dont get lost anymore and all." jake seemed to blush as he looked at my face for a response. " that would be great. I guess i'll see you later then." "sounds good", jake said and we both turned to walk in different directions.

First and second period were pretty routine, I had to stand and tell my name and where I was from in first period, and in second period, I seemed to be the topic of everyones conversations. Only three things were on my mind at the time: would I see jake any more today, where is room 751, and who was the guy sitting next to me that kept staring at me? ........I continued to look at my math notes until the stalker-like boy sitting beside me  finally struck my last nerve. I turned to him and said, "ex--cuse me!!".... the boy then looked down at his desk and grinned. "I was wondering when you would finally turn around. Hi, my name is justin, and you are emma golding... right?" The first thing to pop into my head was 'ok, thats not creepy at all.' but being the new kid, I didn't want to make a bad first inpression or cause a seen, so I said,"yes, that's my name. umm, do you mind staring somewhere else, i really need to focus on these notes. We do have a test on them tomorrow, you know?!" Woops, ok so I kind of snapped a little." well, i was just admiring your beauty..." justin said with a laugh. He knew she wasn't going to do anything or stay mad, so he just agged it on. " then take a picture, it will last longer.", I snapped, hoping he would get the message that I didn't want him staring at me, when I heard a quiet snapping sound like a camera. I glanced over to see justin holding his phone in mid air taking a picture of me.

I sighed deeply, realizing that he wasn't going to leave me alone." ok ok, i promise to leave you alone if you do me one small favor" justin said with a sly grin on his face. " and what could that be?", I asked, knowing that he wanted my cell phone number. "fill in this info. on my phone. just incase something happens and i need to inform you on what you missed some days." " fine, give it here." I said as I held out my hand and he placed the phone in it. I quickly filled in the seven digit phone number and my name, and saved it with my pic as a contact. I acted frustrated, but surprisingly to myself, i was happy about this. Maybe i did like him, or maybe it was just his cheesy-charm getting in my head. Was i starting to like him? Was he just kidding? What would I do about Jake? .....
