It all started with a "Hello"

New Girl

Sandra:

I look out the frosted window of the dull yellow taxi I was confined to for the last hour and stare at a small sign just of the road, 'Welcome to Westward Downs home to Westward High's very own; Bulldogs'. As I think back to my Dad's once wise words the Bulldogs was Westward High's football team and they have been head of the championships for the past 7 years straight. I remember sitting in my fathers lap at the age of 8 as he showed me photos of him and his team holding the championship trophy high into the night sky marking the start of there 7 year streak. I can feel myself start to slip as a tear rolls down my face when suddenly the taxi driver pulls me from my thoughts.

"Ma'am, we have arrived at your apartment. Would you like my help bringing your baggage inside?" He says with a slight smile.

I smile warmly and shake my head in response, "No thank you, I've got things from here. How much is it for the drive here?" I ask as I pull out my wallet and grab out some cash.

"Oh didn't I say? Your friend who you said goodbye to before we left, she paid it for you and asked me to give you this note once we arrived." the taxi driver passed me the note and smiled "I hope you find what you're looking for" He says as he tilts his hat and with that I jump out and grab my bags from the trunk of the car and wave him goodbye. I grab the lone set of keys from the back pocket of my high-waisted jeans and pick up my small black leather backpack and grab the handle of my lime green suitcase and start to head up to my apartment."Room 28? hm nope that's room 32. I must have walked passed it" I say to myself as I hear a scoff behind me, I wiz around on my heals and watch as a figure turns the corner her dark chocolate hair up in a messy bun showing of her natural curls. She is wearing a tight emerald green cocktail dress, covered in sequences and a pair of black studded booties and a denim jacket. Her face caked in makeup with a smokey cat eye, dark red lipstick and a bunch of blush. "Can I help you?" I ask as she just stares me up and down from top to bottom.

"The name's Bethany White newbie, and by the looks of it your the one who needs my help I mean just look at that top you have on and have you even brushed your hair this century?" She snarks and leans against the wall.

"Well Bethany White," I mock her and grin devilishly as I lean against the wall in front of her not tamed by her "Can you point me into the direction of Room 28?"  She snarls and points to the door labeled 28 and walks past me and down to the elevator. I wonder what her issue is, White.... I've heard that name before but where? As I wondered into my apartment and place my belongings I remember the note the taxi driver gave me and I grab it out of my pocket as I walk over to my new bedroom looking in the mirror. "That top your wearing is hideous!" I laugh and fall back onto the big queen sized bed in the middle of the large room "Please? You can never go wrong with a pink cropped hoodie and some high-waisted washed out blue jeans paired with some black heels."

I open up the letter and a $100 dollar note falls out onto my lap. Oh Alley, you shouldn't have... As the note comes to a wrap I have tears pouring down my cheeks and my heart in my throat, I grab my phone and scroll through my contacts until I come across Alley's name. "Hey Al! Thank you for the note and paying for my ride but you shouldn't have. I'm gonna miss you so much and I promise I'm going to visit over school break, It's not so bad here except for a White lives in my apartment building. Do you remember hearing that name?" I send her before shutting my phone off and chucking it on my pillow. I should have a shower and get ready for my appointment with the Principal at Westward High about my enrollment. I rummage through my suitcase and pull out a black skirt that sits just above my knees and a white tight T-shirt before grabbing a bra and panties and heading towards my en suite. As I jump into the shower and turn on the hot water I decide to wash my hair, after a long hot shower I finally step out and start to get ready. As I finish slipping into my outfit I tuck my T-Shirt into my skirt and grab a pair of my Green converses and pop them on grabbing my green backpack filled with a empty notebook and a small pencil case as I head out the door locking it behind me forgetting to grab my phone from off the pillow. I stroll a few blocks down the main road and into the schools parking lot before making my way up to admin, as I walked through the doors I bumped into a tall extremely handsome boy on his way out.

"Yo watch it freshman! Don't touch-" He started to yell before he was cut off by what seemed like a figure of authority.

"Kili Jacobs, lower your voice and get to class before I change my mind and suspend you." Said a firm voice from behind him.

"Yes Principal Ryan, Right away Sir." The young boy says before heading off. I watched him as he left, my eyes not leaving his body until he is out of sight and just before he turns the corner he looks over at me and winks. My face suddenly heats up and he laughs as he turns the corner and walks away. Gosh great one Sandra, way to go. Let a guy think he owns you already cause you know why not. My appointment with Principal Ryan goes past in a blur and before I knew it I was stumbling around the empty hallways trying to find my English class. I finally find the room and shuffle my feet nervously as I knock on the door, you'd think by now I'd be used to starting at a new school but nope it scares me still. I watch as the door flies open and standing there shining like a sick disco ball was Bethany White.

"Oh look everyone, the fresh meat has arrived," She announces dragging me into the room displaying me in front of everyone "at least this time you look younger than 40." She adds and shortly after the classroom roars with laughter. I search the room at the students and suddenly my eyes land on what looks to be the captain of the football team judging from his bulldogs jersey and a large 'C' stamped on it. I went at sat down a few seats behind the mystery guy and find myself drawing the back of him from my view and with that the rest of the lesson as if I wasn't even there.
