Clementine's POV
Today is the day I move to a new school. My dad, Lee, got a job somewhere else, so now I need to go to a new school. I really don't want to. I had so many great friends back at my old school. My new school is called Ericson High School. I heard they also have a school for 'Troubled Youth'. We lived in Savannah, but went to West Virginia because of Lee's job.
The next morning
Beep Beep Bee-
"Okay, I get it!" I get up and turn off my alarm clock. It's the first day of school. I go to my closet to look for something cute. There is a really cute Jean skirt I have, and I pair it with a simple graphic t-shirt. I run to the bathroom to take a shower. I wasn't late or anything, I just wanted to finish getting dressed early so I can eat breakfast.
I look at myself in the mirror, just to see if anything was on my face. I take off my clothes and take a quick shower. The warm water hits my bare skin, It sends shivers through my body. Once my shower is done, I get out and get dressed. Brush my teeth, do my hair, and I'm done! I got to eat a little bit of breakfast, just a bowl of cereal. We live in a very pretty two story house. It's better than the old house, thanks to my dad's new job. My little brother has already gone to school, and now I have to walk to the bus stop.
There is only a couple people on my bus stop. I sit down on a bench near the stop and listen to my music. I have a mixture of music but this one was about love. As I start closing my eyes and let the music take me in, I hear the bus stop. Im startled by the breaks, and I get up. I'm the last one to get on, which is embarrassing because the bus driver asks if I'm new.
"Will you be going on this bus for now on?" He says.
"Um, yes. I'm new so-"
"So, go get a seat." He says, he almost sounded rude.
I try to look for a seat, but there are no empty ones. A guy with dreads, freckles, and a rather beautiful face was sitting lonely on his seat. He pats the empty part, signalling me to sit with him. I give him a nervous look, and I finally give in.
"Glad you came with me, instead of those losers over there." He points to a girl with blonde hair, and another girl with red hair. "Their my friends, so I can say that."
"Why did you invite me here?"
"Well, there was no empty seats, and you looked new. I always like to help people out, especially cute new kids." He said with a wink. "I'm Louis."
"Clementine." He grabs my hand and shakes it. I turn my music up loud to where I can't here any of the kids yelling and jumping.
"Hey, could you make me a playlist. Your music seems pretty cool." He says as he pats me to get my attention.
"Sure, you helping me so I'll help you." I grab his phone, and bite my lip as I choose some songs. I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach. It was probably because it's my first day, but at the same time I think it's something else. "There, hopefully your satisfied." I winked, instantly regretting the motion. I turn the other way and start blushing.
Its been about twenty minutes, and we arrived. This school was very big and beautiful. The bus stops and kids start flooding out of the bus. I wait till there isn't a crowd of people pushing to get off.
"Umm, are you gonna get of or just sit there?" Louis asks.
"I'm waiting." Once everyone is off, I finally get up and thank the bus driver.
"Wow, your so polite. I never say thank you to the bus driver."
"It's nice to say it to people, especially when they give you free rides to school. They also have to deal with kids that scream and yell all the time."
"True." There was a long pause. "Hey um, I was wondering if I could ...uh ..... get your number?" I stared at him with wide eyes.
"Um sure." I punch my number into his phone. I look up at him, and he has a thankful grin.
"Thanks. Um, so what's your first period?"
"Um, I have Mrs. Padilla. Who do you have?"
"I also have Mrs. Padilla, heh." I turn to him a let out a little chuckle as well. I checked my schedule with him, and we almost have every class with each other.
Almost lunchtime
Louis gets to class before me. This whole day we have gotten closer. I walk in the classroom and sit next to him. In every class, that's what I did.
My stomach started to growl, but lunch was next after this class.
Louis tosses me a snack. "Here, since your hungry and everyone likes Takis." This probably wasn't the best idea, because everyone looked at me.
"No, none of you can have some. I'm starving, sorry!"
"Damn, your feisty!"
"Don't mess with a girl's food." I giggled. I started to grow attached to Louis, like we've known each other forever. In class we needed to work on social skills, which I'm not good at. For a whole fifty minutes, we we're talking and meeting up with other people. It was mainly me, since I'm new. The bell rang and everyone sprung out of their seats. Louis and I went to lunch.
"Do you mind if we sit with my other friends?" He asked.
"No, not at all." We picked up a girl with blonde hair. Taller than me, but shorter than Louis. Then we picked up a blonde headed boy, and three redheads. We walking to lunch looking for an empty, but big table. Louis pulled out a paper that said 'Reserved for the Kool Katz'.
"I came up with the name." He said, grabbing his coat proudly.
"Yeah and it's fucking stupid!" The blonde girl said. "Oh, sorry. I'm violet by the way."
"Clementine." I said. After that everyone introduced themselves. The blonde boy's name was Marlon, one redhead was named Brody, another redhead was named Minerva, and the last girl was named Sophie. Sophie stared at me the whole lunchtime with a glare.
Time skip to the end of school
The first day of school was great. Not a lot of kids say that, but I did. I got so many new friends, and it wasn't so embarrassing. Louis met with me to go on the bus, and we sat together the way home. I think I really like this boy with dreads.
