Reminiscence

Chapter 9

Derrick's Pov- I stepped into the front entrance at Regionhills high. I was new to the community we just moved here my parents and I and I was basically the new kid on the block.

I walk in and go straight to the office based off the map that was on the wall showing the whole layout of the school.

There was a picture of the recent  highschool class to graduate. Beyond that was more graduating class pictures from previous years on the right side was pictures of the Varsity and Junior Varsity Teams. I keep walking till I get to where the office is and see a sign that says "Regionhills High, home of the Dolphins." "Can I help you sir?" A short blonde hair woman says.

"Uhh yes I am a new student." "What's the name.?" She says typing away at the computer. "Derrick, Derrick Creed." She nods her head and scrolls down a page with the mouse before she stops. "Ahh yes right here you are." She turns behind her and pulls a sheet out from the printer looks it over and hands it to me. "Have a good first day." She says with a smile.

I nod and walk out I turn the corner and bump right into another guy " Hey sorry Man." I say dropping down to help him pick his books up. He looks up and smiles. "You must be new." He says. "Yeah how did you know?" I say sarcastically. "Oh you know because everyone is staring."

He says. We stand up and shake hands "My name is Louis." He says. "Derrick." he takes my schedule from my hands and reads over it. "Well we got first and fourth period together Philosophy with Mr. Gainey and Chemistry with Mr. Hulin." I nod we start walking toward philosophy when as we start talking by the time we turn the corner to get to the Physcology we pass by the front entrance where a girl steps in laughing with long chocolate brown locks and deep brown eyes she is lauging with another guy with blonde hair and brown eyes.

I tug on on Louis's shoulder "Dude who is that?" I say. He stops in his mid tracks. "That my friend is the Peters kids." I let out a relieved sigh I didn't realize I had. "So brother and sister?" I say. He nods. "They have another sibling, a girl." He continues. " "Whats her name?" I ask staring at the girl in front of me. "Mallory, she is in 7th grade I-." "No her." I say.

"Oh that's Avril, and her brother is named liam." I couldn't help but stare. "They look so familiar." I say. "Yeah dude because they are." Louis replies never skipping a beat. "How though?" "You know that Tv show American Horror Story?" louis says. " "Yeah" "Their parents are in that Taissa Farmiga and Evan Peters." "Holy Shit you mean to tell me-." I stammer. She is looking my way now.

"This school is full of suprises now come on before we are late." I got through the whole school day until fourth that's when I seen her head toward our chemistry class.

My heart was pounding when she stepped into the room. Gosh she was hot. She took her seat in front of me which made me more nervous. Louis sat beside me as I was in shock. "Dude you good?". He asks "uhh yeah I can't believe she's here." We were sitting mid way through chemistry working on a worksheet when she turned around "Hey Louis,can you help me figure out the short abbreviated sequence for Argon?" Her head snapped my way and she smiled.

"My name is Avril" She stuck her hand out I took it and shook it. "Derrick." I say. "So how are you liking Regionhills so far?" "Good." "You need help with that?" I say gesturing to her worksheet. She nods.

By the end of class we were chatting, after two weeks we're hanging out more. By November she was walking out to the student parking lot with me everyday.  She stood by my car with her hands in her pockets and looked off into the distance before meeting my eyes her hair was cascading around her in the breeze.

She looked up to me. " I'm scared." she says her eyes welling up. "Why?" I ask. "Because I don't know what I am feeling?" she says. "Feeling what Avril?" I ask her taking her hands into mine. She looks off to me. "I feel something towards you and I am scared to death what they are. I should have known when I kept going to all your soccer games back in early fall. She looks to me before walking off. "Wait Avril." I chasing after her and grab ahold of her arm.

"I have had those feelings too. I just was scared to approach you because you are looked up too and your parents are celebrities and I was worried you would never go for something like me." I say gushing all at once.

She looks at me before leaning in "I will always fall for you even if I have to faceplant because good things take time." She whispers our forheads pressed against one another I lean in and capture her warm soft lips with my own. She leans in and pulls me close before delving her fingers into my hair. Eventually we pull back for air and press our forheads against one another. "Avril!" I hear a deep voice. She looks off into the distance "That's my bro I better go." She leans in once more and kisses me. Before walking across the parking lot. I lean against my jeep and watch her. She is fine and she will be mine.
