The New Girl

Chapter 5

My eyes glued shut I held my breath waiting. But it never came, this time warm hands caught my waist and pulled me up. I breathed a sigh of relief and looked up to see a guy around my age with black hair that was hid his eyes and snake bites. I saw he was still holding my arms and looked at his pale unblemished wrist. I let go staring at the ground my cheeks stained red.

“Hi.”He chuckled softly.

I looked up searching his bluish gray eyes and then opened my mouth embarrassed.

“Sorry about that.” I slipped out.

“No problem. My name is Alex.”He said sticking out his hand.

“Autumn.” I announced shaking his hand.

“I know.” He said smiling.

“Yeah.” I blushed.

“Do you have art? Cos that’s what I got next.” He whispered.

“Yep! I wanted Band because I play violin. But nope.” I frowned.

“Well let’s go!” He said grabbing my wrist leading me out.

I smiled. We walked through the halls his hand in mine and I blushed red. Then suddenly, something went through us breaking our hands apart. WTF!!!!! I turned to see Justin smirking.

“See you found a boy toy.” He smirked.

“CASSIE FOUND HIM.” I shouted smirking.

His eyes widened cringing to hear heels clicking.

“What the hell are you talking abo—,” She stopped when she saw Justin then smiled at me,” Thanks Autumn!” She skipped over and kissed him…NASTY!!!

“We’ll leave you guys alone.” I laughed turning around.

“Nice.” Said Alex shaking his head.

“Sooo…” I said as we walked around.

“What’s your full name?” He asked suddenly.

“Autumn Joy Meadows.” I said.

“Alex John Mitchell.” He said.

I looked at him them burst out laughing. He looked at me confused.

“A…J…M” I gasped.

He thought about it then still looked confused.

I calmed down and said,” A for Alex, A for Autumn, J for John, J for Joy, M for Mitchell, M for Meadows.”

“Omigod I just got it!” He said bursting with laughter.

“AJM.” I responded.

“Thanks Captain Obvious.” He said sarcastically.

“No problem Lieutenant Sarcasm.” I saluted.

“Well here’s art.” He announced.

I walked in looking around at the crafty room, painting everywhere and the smell of coffee and paint reached my nose. I smiled at the art teacher. He wasn’t over weight; he was actually kind of built and had brown thick hair with strong features. He looked about 21 with a thousand watt smile spreading on his face.

“You must be Autumn. “ He smiled giving me a warm handshake.

“And you must be Mr. Pytosky.” I said smartly.

“Please call me Mr. P; Mr. Pytosky sounds like a bald guy’s name.” He waved off.

I smiled and dragged Alex to a seat waiting for students to come in. Just then Mr. Bieber walked in smiling. I groaned. Is he in all my classes?! I put my head on the desk and Alex rubbed my hand soothingly.

“Hey Justin!” Said a red haired girl poofing out her boobs.

“Barf.” I said rolling my eyes.

Justin smirked and came to sit next to me. I looked at him my eyes bugging out and I rested my head on Alex’s shoulder pretending to die.

“Justin.” Seethed Alex.

“Evening Emo.” Glared Justin.

“Shut up Justin.” I yelled giving him the finger.
