Finally! I've waited so long to go to this school! I haven't been this excited to go to a school in... well forever. The only reason I'm really excited is that my best friend is here. Plus, I heard the football team is pretty good. I think now that I'm able to play I'll finally have my chance to shine. Last year I had a really bad concussion from falling out of a tree, then continued football playing. But back then I was dumb (plus if you ask me, it wasn't that big of a tree). Anyways, now that I'm at this school I should go see my homeroom to see if Lauren is there. Afterall, She's the reason I came here. we've been best friends since 4th grade. I go to my homeroom class and spotted Lauren right as I came in. She smiled and waved to me as she said "Hey Ben! I saved a seat for you!" I got to my seat and greeted her with "Hey! I can't believe I get to be in the same school as you! It's been a while!" We haven't been in the same school since 5th grade, but we talked over phone all the time. The rest was a bit blurry but I have the same class as Lauren in math, P.E., social studies and english, which was pretty lucky. So far there have been no assigned seats except for in english class, we still laugh at stupid things from across the room though.
It is my fifth day here. It was in science class. The science teacher asked one student a question, the student couldn't answer, but the teacher tried to get the answer out of him. "Speak up I can't hear you!" "You should know this by now!" The teacher said. The kid started to hide his face, he seemed to be crying. As I was already balancing my chair on it's two hind legs, I decided to help him. I was going to fall to create a distraction, to bring the focus off him. Saying that is always easier than doing so, but I closed my eyes and... thud. I was on the ground. I waited for a moment, then said
"Ow!" Pretty loudly in a monotone voice. The class laughed. I just got back up and pretended as if nothing happened. I looked at the boy and nodded. He just stared at me with wide eyes, but just as I looked away he seemed to smile back.
After that class was P.E.. I got there and went to go talk to Lauren. She was mostly complaining about P.E., it's very obvious that she would rather not participate. Anyways, as we we were exersizing she seemed to be trying to avoid this one girl. I couldn't pay that much attention at that moment, but after class I saw her. She had short red hair, round glasses, and a shirt that said "Killer". I asked Lauren who she is. Lauren responded
"That's Ruby Ferguson... She's one of the fakest bitches in the school. She likes people to think she's a phsyco because she thinks it's quirky."
"Oh" I said blankly. I didn't know how to respond to that. I would like to talk to her first before believing this. I mean of course the shirt is a dead giveaway, but I want to see for myself how bad it really is. I started to approach her, to the dismay of Lauren. I walked over and immedeately notice, not only an abundance of freckles upon her face, but also a... very strange smile. The bottom of her smile is slightly lower than it should be yet the corners of her mouth are risen high. It was very off-putting, it distracted me when she yelled
"Hello? Ya looking for something?" Her smile grew bigger.
"N-no I just wanted to say hi. I didn't know if you were busy or something" I said panicing, trying to come up with some excuse for why I was staring at her.
"Oh, ok! No I wasn't busy at all! My name's Ruby! Watch out though, I think I might be a bit crazy. At least that's what they say!" I wanted to ask who "they" was, but before the question could escape Ruby looked behind me and said
"Ooh! Hi Lauren!"
"Hi..." Lauren said back reluctantly
"What's wrong? Scared of me?" Ruby said in a teasing manner
"Well only of your life choices" Lauren mumbled
"Hmm...? I didn't know were this sassy back in transylvania. I always thought they at least had some standards of class there." Ruby said in the same cheery tone as always "Anyways, I got to go! You should probably go too Lauren, go back to the dump you were born in"
"At least my clothes didn't come from that dump, I actually have standards for clothing, unlike you." Lauren said to Ruby, who pretended not to hear. "Fucking annoying bitch." Lauren thought out loud.
