The Loved Ones

The New Kid

It was a nice day to start the first day of high school as a sophomore. I was dressed up all nice for school pictures. Then I saw him. I had never seen anyone that was so perfect. He had brown-black hair that was cut short on the sides and longer on the top. He was wearing a checkered shirt with sagging jeans and a smile that could light up the whole world.

"Hey Angie, who are you staring at?" yelled my best friend Kay. I hadn't even realized I had been staring and it must have been for quit a while since Kay noticed. At least I didn't start drooling.

When I was in middle school one time I started drooling at this hot guy. Now that guy is just a player.

"Do you know that kid over there?" I asked Kay.

"Yeah, he just moved across the street from me. I heard he sleeps with lots if girls."

Then my stomach dropped. Am I really crushing on another player.

"That is probably just a rumor made by someone that is jealous of him, I mean look at him."

Kay does not really judge a book by its cover. She has to get to know him, but right now I think she is judging him and by the expression on her face it's not a good thing.

The day passed by very slowly. Throughout the day I finally found out his name.(Shawn) I get caught staring at him a couple times.

I hate the bus. It's the only transportation I have home. I am an only child, so until I get my license I have to ride the bus. The bus is where the bullying, gossip and rumors start and happen.
