.Chapter Six.

     Monday came around quickly. 

          I guess nothing really happened after Blaine headed off to work and left me in the house, alone. 

     My alarm clock buzzed, warning me it was time for me to head out the door. I was in the middle of brushing my hair when a quiet knock sounded on my door. I jolted upward and ran to the door quickly. Making sure I looked decent, I turned the doorknob and opened it for Blaine, who stood in front of the door with his hair dripping wet and a towel around his neck. 

     "Hey, you ready to go?" He asked. My hands slapped my burning red cheeks and I quickly looked down at the ground. 

     "Y-yeah, hold on," I said quickly and shut the door on him. My face felt like it was on fire and leaned against the door. I couldn't face him properly just yet, what happened yesterday set my mood spiraling all over the place. My feelings were being bipolar. 

     Today was the first day of a new and boring school, this time, I wouldn't have Madison with me. I'd have to make new friends. I sighed loudly and grabbed my backpack off the bed, swung it over my shoulder and pulled myself together. I reopened the door and looked Blaine in the eye. 

     "Yep! Ready!"

     We drove down the busy streets of Florida and past the busy beaches that attracted tourists. Blaine sat quietly behind the wheel, with his eyes only focused on the road and I sat in the front seat, folding my fingers together and chewing on my fingernails. I felt the sweat drip from my forehead. I've never felt this nervous in my life. I stopped chew my nails after Blaine looked from the road to me. 

     "So, do you have everything?" He asked, awkwardly. He was trying to be mature. 

     "Yes and please don't sound like my dad," I teased. He didn't really take the joke and I sighed once again, folding back the chair to try and get as far away as possible. He was quiet for a long time. I stared out the window at the moving scenery, the palm trees zoomed by and the cars beeped at pedestrians crossing the street when there wasn't a crosswalk. I was getting a nauseous feeling as soon as we were getting closer to school. It got worse when we pulled up and he stopped the car. I sat there, not really wanting to get out now. The high school kids passed the front of Blaine's car and everyone was suddenly heading through the front doors all in one giant group. My body was burning up again from the worry, then a cool hand rested on my hot head. 

     "Are you afraid?" Blaine asked. I didn't look at him. My hands gripped my shirt tightly and I stared at all the kids rushing through the front doors. His hand was still on my head, it was calming me down some how. 

     "No, I'm going," I replied quickly and opened the car door. His hand dropped from my head, brushing through my long hair and I didn't look back. I thought I was about to drop dead from his touch. My mind was replaying the scene over and over, like some romance movie. I must have looked stupid walking up to the school, but now I realized, that Blaine was four years older than me, he was going to be looking for much mature girls, not high school girls, and certainly not the daughter of a close friend. I needed to stop putting my hopes up.

     The moment I took a step into the classroom, all eyes were on me. The teacher was a bald man with a over comb, nice, but too nice. He put his hand on my back and led me over to my desk. I immediately decided I hated my math class teacher and the people in it. A girl snickered behind me and the guy sitting next to me moved his desk farther away from me. The teacher handed me a piece of paper with all the things I'd need. This was just perfect.

     Time flew by. I was half asleep as the teacher totally went on about things I had no idea how to do or solve the equations. The weird sounding bell rang and everyone was already packed and ready to go. I shoved the piece of paper in my backpack and the bald teacher watched me. Just as I thought the teacher was going to talk to me, a guy with black hair and green eyes came up to me, blocking the veiw from the teacher. 

     "Hi," He greeted with a smile and kept glancing back at the teacher, who held a dissapointed face and pretended to shuffle papers on his desk. 

     "Hello," I replied quietly. He motioned with his head for us to walk out of the classroom. I let out a sigh of relief as soon as he shut the door behind him. 

     "My names Zack," He smiled. 

     "Thank you for saving me," I laughed. He nodded his head and held out his hand for me to shake it. I did. "I'm Ayame."

     "Wow, cool name," He said. I blushed a little. I couldn't believe a good looking guy came up just to talk to me. 

     "Yeah, my mother thought of it, but I don't know the real meaning behind it," I said. People pushed past me, knocking me into Zack. Zack caught me before I tripped over him and he stood me back up. 

     "Hey! Bro, watch where you're going!" He hollered at the guy that had pushed me. The guy turned around with an annoyed look, but his expression quickly changed after he saw who it was that called to him, it was like an imaginary lightning bolt came from Zack's eyes, and he won.

     "I'm sorry," I said, looking down at my feet. This was so stupid.

     We walked down the hallway together, and talked about where I came from and why I transferred. I saw a couple of girls eyeing us as we walked down the hallway. For some reason, I didn't get a good feeling from that. 

     "Hey, by the way, don't mind Mr. Donlin, he always tries to get close to the pretty girls in class," Zack laughed. He was teasing me, deffinantly.

     "What a creep," I sighed. He laughed at me. The bell rang and he waved goodbye to me. It was pretty awkward, I just shrugged towards him and smiled, not really thinking about waving back. I got to class late, other new faces, staring at me. I guess today wasn't all that bad, I just have to speak up some more.

     The day dragged on, I didn't see Zack again and were getting looks from the 'popular crowds'. I didn't meet anyone my first day. I didn't care at this point, I just wanted the day to be over so I could go back to Blaine's house and rest.
