Chapter 2. school

lilys POV:

as soon as everything was unpacked I pulled out my phone and went on tumblr. I looked at the time and I realized it was 12:37. "shit" I mumbled, I have school tomorrow. oh that's going to be torture. then I turned off my phone and drifted off into sleep.

"COME ON LILY ITS TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL" my mom yells. ugh, I hate my mom in the morning. she's always so annoying. I slowly get my way out of bed and go into my bathroom. I decided to take a shower since it was my first day at this new school. I at least wanted to look a little presentable. I quickly hop in and out.

I decided to let my hair dry natural even though it looked like shit. after 20 minutes I picked out what to wear, I was going to wear black ripped skinny jeans and a maroon long sleeved shirt with my black fold over combat boots. for my makeup all I wore was foundation and mascara. I didn't want to put much attention on myself cause I hated attention. due to my severe anxiety. I got my black Victoria's Secret backpack and headed off to school.

the school was called James High, as soon as I got out of my car everyone looked at me. I wanted to die. I felt all the stares on me like gunshots. but someone really caught my eye. he had black shaggy hair and he was just staring at me. even when I looked at him he would still stare. so I decided to ignore him.

I walked into the school quickly to find my locker. I HATED any attention drawn to me. it was 2 minutes before the bell rang and I still couldn't find my locker. I looked up and down every hallway but I couldn't find it. I started hyperventilating and shaking. but I soon felt arms wrap around my shoulders. the person behind me was obviously a guy. I could tell by his deep voice saying "shh it's going to be okay". I soon calmed down and turned around. it was the boy with the black shaggy hair who was staring at me earlier. he grabbed my schedule which had my locker number on it. "follow me, your locker is right next to mine!" the boy said, and I realized he had an Australian accent, just like me. but his was more distinct. he showed my to my locker and I opened it and put my stuff in it. "my name is Michael but the way, Michael Clifford, and yours is..?". "umm..my name is lily. lily milosevic" I said while looking at my feet. "could I take you to your class?" he asked politely.

"no I'm fine. I can find my way"

"too bad, I'm taking you" he said as he marched down the hall like and idiot. which made me laugh, and I haven't really laughed in a long time.

but he's probably just being nice to 'the new girl'.
