Torrence POV:My alarm clock rings, making me jolt awake.
"Great," I huff, reaching to turn it off.
I grab my phone and realize it wasn't charging last night. Damn it. I roll over and sit up in my bed, leaning my legs over the side.
I walk to my closet, where most of my boxes still need to be unpacked, and try to find an acceptable outfit to wear for the first day.
"I need to make a good first impression." I mumble to myself, searching through the boxes. I finally decide on a light pink sweatshirt and nude colored pants.
"This will have to do," I say, throwing my hair up in a bun and walking to the bathroom to do my makeup.
Torrence⬆️
15 minutes later, I'm downstairs in the kitchen grabbing an apple and rushing out the door."Have a good day sweetie!" My mom yells after me.
I pull out of my driveway and head towards the school, luckily it's close by or I would definitely get lost. I pull into a parking space and realize I have 20 minutes until the bell rings. I decide to blast some music and I start to sing along to Got Friends.
As people walk by me, I look at them and decide who I want to try and get close to. A group of guys walks by and I can't help but notice that the one in the middle really stands out. His blond hair is a little long on top, and swooped over to one side. His eyes are a light brown, and I notice them as he looks through the car window and winks at me.
Charlie⬆️
"Yo, Charlie!" I hear someone yell, walking up and giving him a fish bump.So his names Charlie. Suddenly my first day is getting a whole lot more interesting.
I get out of my car and slam the door shut.
As I walk through the doors of the school, people start to stare at me. Some smile, some look away, but for the most part they just look at me with their mouths open.
I look down at the paper in my hands, trying to figure out where my first class is when I hear a girl behind me say,
"First day?".
I look up and see a pretty brunette standing there, a hint of a smile on her face.
Bailee⬆️
"That obvious?" I laugh, and she nods sympathetically."Just a little. You made a good entrance though, got people staring. I'm Bailee."
"Torrence." I smile at her.
As she shows me where my classes are, someone bumps into me. I look up and see the boy from before. Charlie.
"Charlie," Bailee says, "could you be any more clumsy?"
"Sorry, bails." He laughs, "just wanted to get the pretty new girl to notice me."
"Mission accomplished." I say, smiling at him. "I'm Torrence."
"Charlie. This is Jackson, Anthony, Shawn and Blake." He points to the guys behind him.
I look at them, noticing that Anthony seems to be the quietest, and Shawn seems to be a little cocky, smirking at me and then shooting me a wink as I look at him.
Anthony ⬆️
I can feel my face turn red."Nice to meet you all."
"Pleasures all mine, princess." Shawn winks. "But I bet you're more excited to see a cute guy than I am to see a cute girl, judging by how red you are."
I was right, he is cocky.
