Life changes.

Classes.

I am hungry. I walk to the cafeteria because I have an hour until my next class. As I head that way I hear my name. Turning I see Gavin running my way. “You forgot this.” I look in his hand to see my pen. Laughing I smile, “Thanks, but I do have more.” He shrugs, “Well now you don’t need another one.” I laugh and take the pen back. He looks at me smiling, “Going to the lunch room?” I nod laughing, “Yeah.” He shrugs, “I was too, care if I walk with you?” I shrug, “Not at all.”

We start to the cafeteria again and strangely its comforting walking with him near me. I don’t know why, it just feels different. 

Grabbing a pizza and soda I walk over and pay before walking over to a table and sitting down.  Gavin comes over and smiles, “Care if I join? There are no other seats.” I look around and don’t see an empty chair anywhere. Smiling I point to the chair, “It’s all yours.”

I hear Austin’s booming voice and turn to see him coming out of the line smiling. “Ally.” He runs over and sits next to me. “Yes I got a seat.” I laugh and shake my head, “How many times have you been here?” He shrugs, “Three already.” Shaking my head I go to speak when I hear Alex, “Damn man, you are a pig.” He takes the last seat and turns to Gavin, “What’s up?” Smiling Gavin shakes his head, “Nothing.” Austin looks around with food in his mouth.

After everyone ate I realize I have fifteen minutes until class starts. “I have to go.” Alex looks at the clock on the wall standing up, “Dang, me too.” I tilt my head slightly and he shrugs, “My class starts in fifteen minutes.” I look at him, “Wait, lets see everyone’s schedules.” I take mine out and place it on the table and look at Alex’s and Austin’s. Alex and I have almost all of the same classes. Austin and I have three together. Looking at Gavin I smile, “If you want we can compare too.” He takes his out and I see me and him have two together. Considering I have five classes that’s not bad.

I smile and look at Austin, “See you after this class.” Turning I start walking towards the stairs knowing the class is in this building. “Ally, wait up.” I stop and Alex stands next to me, “Dang you are quick on those stairs.” Smiling I shrug as I continue to walk, “Two kids always upstairs, I get a lot of practice.” He laughs as he walks next to me.

Finding the classroom Alex pulls out a seat and gestures for me to take it. Sitting down he pushes it forward some and sits next to me. “How are you liking everything so far?” Shrugging I take my book out. “It’s good I guess. Boring being the first day and all.” I see him nod as I grab my cell phone and check it. I feel a head on my shoulder, “Ally, they are fine. I promise.” I sigh and set my phone next to my book, “I just worry. Its weird, I don’t really know this girl and I never trusted them with anyone but you.” Smiling he pulls me into his side, “Oh I know. Its hard because well I am the best.” Laughing I move away and smile, “Thanks for that.” He shakes his head, “Anytime sweetie, I am here all day.” I laugh again before the teacher comes in.

Walking out of the classroom I start heading to find my next class. Quickly I find it and walk in sitting down near the back again. I found out I quite like the back. “Hey.” Turning I see Austin sit down before he pulls me into him for a kiss. “How is it going?” I shrug, “Nervous over the kids.” He laughs, “I meant school.” I shrug, “Boring actually.” He nods, “I know.” Grabbing my hand he leans in. I feel his lips on mine and smile slightly he asks for entrance but I pull away smiling, “Nope.” He sighs and slumps in his seat. “The kids are fine Ally.” I nod, “I know just its weird.” He shrugs, “Its just you baby. The kids are find no need to be nervous or feel weird about it.” The teacher comes in and I turn giving him the full attention.
