Devon's POV

"I can't believe that school starts today. What the fuck." Benji growled, scowling at me and the parents as we walked downstairs. I looked at the clock that read 5:24 a.m and chuckled slightly. Benji glared at me then plopped himself into one of the chairs at the kitchen table.

"Please don't swear. You make it seem like you've been raised by a bunch of fucking sailors." Kate sighed, setting a bowl of oatmeal down in front of Benji, and then one in front of me as I sat at the table also.

"God, it can't be that bad." I smirked, tanking a bite of my blueberry creme oatmeal and groaning in pain when Benji punched me in the arm.

"That's enough! Eat your breakfast and get your lazy butts dressed so you aren't late!" Dad yelled, sitting in the chair across from me with a coffee.

Benji rolled his eyes, and I just smirked slightly. Unfortunately, Before we knew it, it was time for us to be at school.

We grabbed our bags and walked outside to the bus, then made our ways all the way to the back to sit. I sat by the window, and Benji sat on the outside. Many people turned and stared at me, especially the boys nearest us.

"What's their problem?" I muttered, leaning closer to Benji so he could hear me.

"We never get new kids so you're gonna be talked about and stared at a lot until people get used to you." Benji responded, then silently reached over to hold my hand between us.

The rest of the bus ride was silent, well for the most part. But as soon as we made it to school, I had tons of people crowding around me and badgering me with all of these questions about who I am. Luckily, Chase and Amy found us and scared away all of the unwanted friends.

"Thanks guys. That was getting crazy." I sighed, then followed the three of them to where the lockers are.

"Not a problem. Are you excited for your first day?" Amy asked, followed by a bite of her chocolate-chip muffin. I couldn't help but laugh at the sight; Amy, the petite and sassy friend of mine, walking down the hallway and eating breakfast at the same time. I really wish I had a camera for this, especially since she got chocolate all over her mouth.

"You got a lil something." I said, then gestured to my bottom lip. She wiped her hand against her mouth, then licked away the chocolate. Benji, Chase and I all gave her a look that said what the fuck was that? so Amy flipped us off in turn.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not just gonna waste chocolate." She said, rolling her eyes. I chuckled at her, then realized that we should hurry before we're late for class.

*~*~*

I am now three classes and one lunch time into my day, with one class to go. School has been alright so far, but I can tell that I'm definitely going to hate my honors Calculous class; but at least I have it with Benji.

According to my schedule, my last class of the day is art. When I walked into the already busy room, I see that everyone is already scrambling around the room and preparing for class.

I walk up to the teacher, whose name is Mrs. Radant, and show her my schedule.

"My name is Devon, and I'm new here." I explained, then turn away from her to allow my eyes to trail around the room. There's a few people in here that I have other classes with, so I should easily find someone to talk to.

"Nice to meet you Devon! You can take a seat anywhere that you want. We are working on a still design where you pick a live model and paint them on canvas. You can find someone in this class or I can pull some strings to get someone from another class if you would like." Mrs. Radant smiled, handing back my schedule. I nodded, and thanked her before walking over to an empty table; I'd like to be alone for now, especially since I want to concentrate on my painting.

The bell rang soon after and I grabbed my canvas. I set up at my table and was just looking around the room to find my model, when suddenly the door to class opened. To my surprise, Benji, Amy, and Chase all walked in. They were laughing about something, and clearly talking about something that just happened.

"Do you guys have late passes?" Mrs. Radant asked, crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow. But for some reason, I kind of got the hint that she didn't even care that they were late.

She definitely seems like a cool and laid back teacher, I thought to myself.

Benji handed her a blue slip and turned to go to his seat, but right then he noticed me and he got a big smile as he ran over to me. He plopped onto my lap and wrapped his arms around my shoulders, which seemed to temporarily pause time.

"Hey there. I didn't know you were in this class." He whispered, smiling wide. My cheeks flushed, knowing that everyone in the class had stopped what they were doing just to look over at us.

"Well I do." I answered, setting my hands on his waist.

"Dear lord. Devon, I see that you've met Benji. Don't be afraid to just push him away or tell him to leave you alone; I know that he can get quite overwhelming." Mrs. Radant sighed, rubbing her temples.

"Of course we've met. And trust me, I know how he is. But I can handle him, Probably better than anyone else." I chuckled, earning a smack from Benji and a smile from the teacher.

"Alright, well Benji get off of him, and everyone get back to work!" She said, laughing quietly before turning on the radio and going over to her desk to read a book.

"I can't believe we have this class together! It makes me so happy!" Benji said, looking around for a moment to make sure that nobody was paying attention. He then gave me a quick peck on the lips and moved to sit in the chair beside me.

"I'm glad. But I do have one very important question for you...." I trailed off, leaning on the table and looking directly into his gorgeous eyes.

"And what's that?" He smiled, biting his lip adorably.

"Will you be my model?" I asked, taking his hand underneath the table and giving him a seductive glance.

"It would be my honor." He chuckled, meanwhile sitting up straight and posing like the idiot that he is.

"How am I even dating you? You're a moron." I rolled my eyes.

"You love me though!" He chirped happily, then grabbed a stool so that he could sit in front of me and actually be my model.

I think that I'm going to enjoy this high school, it seems so much better than my last one already.
