"Hi I'm November James, I'm here to pick up my schedule and locker information," I state.
When I walked into the school I struggled to reach the main office but when I finally did I've never been more relieved.
"Here you go have a nice day." The lady responds.

"Thank you, you too," I say as I walk out of the office and head to my locker.

When I get to my locker I take out my decorations and start to set them up. I feel someone staring at me, but I left it alone until I felt their breath against my neck. I turn around to face them, seeing an average-height blonde with a sly smile etched across his face.
"Um, excuse me, can you please move," I say, slightly pushing against his chest.

There's no one else on this side of the hallway since everyone is either in the cafeteria or in the first class.

"You sure you want me to move" He questions, inching himself closer.
"I said move...please." I plead with a little more aggression hoping he'd move.

As soon as I was about to knee him in the crotch he was pulled away from me and, how can I put this kindly, force-fed a clock to the face.

"Get the fuck out of here you fucking pervert!" The strange man said. I stand there staring at him, not knowing how in the world to repay for the relief he just gave me. Well, that and admiring how beautiful he is...

"Jesus fuck, Theo, I was just greeting the newbie," The boy says smugly, spitting out the blood from a busted lip.

"Get. The. Fuck. Out."

"Man whatever, this shit isn't worth it" The boy leaves, making a turn into what should be the nurse's office.

"Thank you, so much, for that, if he would've kept going I was gonna for sure kick him in the crotch," I say thanks.

"It's no problem at all, that jackass been pissing me off for so long it was about time I did something." He replies looking down the hallway he the boy went down.

"Is there any way that I can repay you, all I have is my lunch money so it's not much but it's something?" I say patting my jacket pocket for the money I left in there.

"Woah Woah, you don't need to repay me at all." He says, grabbing my hand out of my pockets.
The force of his hand was unexpected, causing me to flinch ever so slightly.

"Uhm well, in that case, I should head to class wouldn't wanna be late on my first day," I say laughing slightly to try to relieve the tension that has settled.

"Yeah me too, hopefully, I'll see you around, November." He smiles walking towards the other end of the hallway.

How did he know my name!?

"Oh and here is our new student now, Hi I'm Mrs. Xenon, but you can call me Mrs. X for short. What is your name, isn't it November?" She asks. All in one breath might I add. Causing all the students to look at me.

"Yes, it's November," I say sheepishly. I don't do well with many people staring, that's an anxiety attack just waiting to happen.

"November, what kinda name is that." Some girl whispers. I pretend I didn't hear it and take a seat in the back of the classroom keeping my attention on my fingers and the scattered pencil drawings on my desk.

"Well, November you came at the perfect time because we're starting- well look who decided to come to class today." She says rolling her eyes, causing my attention to shooting to the classroom door.

"Well you know I couldn't resist the joy your class gives me Sarah" He laughs sarcastically. Causing Mrs. X to laugh as well and roll her eyes.

It was that guy from earlier, what was his name...uh Malcolm wait no...Theo, I think. 

He sees me, or I think it's me and he smirks softly and starts heading to the back of the room where I am. Just when I think he was gonna pass the row in front of me he sits down next to a blonde girl and wraps his arm around her, she leans in for a kiss and he gladly kisses her back. 

Turns out he wasn't smiling at me at all. Not like I wanted him to, I do not have the time or mental capacity for boys right now, or any romantic relationships right now. 

When the teacher starts talking about How To Kill A Mockingbird I tone her out. I know it's not a good thing to do on your first day especially when you started in the middle of the school year but I've read How To Kill A Mockingbird at least 5 times so everything she was saying was just review to me.

Mrs.X told us to start writing down the notes she put on the board for a class grade so I grabbed one of my notebooks and started.

"Hi, I'm Malia." The girl next to me turned and said.
"Hi" I responded and continued to copy the notes.
"Do you wanna sit with me at lunch?" She asks, flashing a movie star smile. I swear I saw a twinkle, what a charmer.
"Um, sure" I smile back, not much but enough to be comforting. 
"Yay! Well, see you in a bit."

 
I was about to ask her what she meant but the bell rang answering my unspoken question.

As I walked out of class I looked down at my schedule and looked around for the math room.

"Lost?" 
I turn around only to be met with the gorgeous yet taken Theo. His tall stature swallowed my shadow whole. He has to be over 6 feet, and as a tall girl, I've never been imitated by a male's height. Intimidated as compared to turned on. 

"Uh yea, I can't find Mr.Reed." 

He points across the hall and believe it or not, Mr.Reed's class was right there.
My god that's embarrassing. I scoff out of spite and embarrassment and turn back towards Theo.

"I think my eye doctor's request to keep my glasses instead of contacts needs to be upheld," I say slightly humored by my lack of sight and then mostly embarrassed by it. 

"It's okay, it happens," Theo says. Smiling at me, again another movie screen smile, is this school just filled with people from Colgate commercials? 

I laugh nervously and wave goodbye to him and head into math. I can't help but steal another glimpse at him as he walks away. He might have a girlfriend but that doesn't mean I can't look at him...

Right?
