RING RING
Everyone is waiting for this moment, when every class ends and it's time for another one. They take their stuff and leave the classroom except Nicole who just sits at her bench confused why everyone is leaving.
"Nicole? When the bell rings it's time to leave."
"It is? We didn't have a school bell in my other school. I suppose I looked like a questionmark." She laughs a little. I smile aswell cause it was kind of funny and her laugh is contagious. She looks at me and we have a eye contact for a few seconds. I feel like someone stabs me in my heart and I feel warm inside. I quickly look away but the feeling is still there. Before I didn't want anything to do with this girl but now, now I want to know her.
"Sorry for being rude before, I was kinda in a bad mood."
"It's okay, I understand. New start?" She holds out her hand again like she did in the beginning of class. I nod and takes her hand in mine.
We walk around school together and I show her all the places and classrooms.
"Where do we eat the school food?"
"I usually go out to a fast food restaurant and eat, there is a few in the area. But I can show you the dining hall. By the way the food sucks." I walk her to the room and shows her everything.
"You wanna eat lunch with me today? I can pay." I turn around and ask her.
"I wouldn't wanna make you pay, we barely know each other."
"That's why I'm paying. I can get to know you there and you can get to know me. " I laugh and she smiles at me.
"Thank you..." She was going to say something more but got interupted by the school bell.
"Oh class again. I think we have math." I grab her hand and we go to our classroom. I took her hand most of instinct and feeling but her hand was so soft and warm, I don't wanna let it go, I wanna hold it forever. I can feel her holding my hand tight. I feel soft inside.

The school bell rings again and it's time for lunch but when I look over to Nicole, Felicia and Lucy is already there.
"Hi Nico, I'm Felicia and this is Lucy. You wanna have lunch together?" I get mad, I am supposed to have lunch with Nicole and I know that they are just doing this to get on my nerve. Me and Felicia has kind of been rivals for a long time. She has done everything she could to annoy me. She doesn't do this only to me, to everyone basically.
"Nicole, should we go?" She looks at me and then them.
"Yeah" She stands up and then turn around to Felicia. "Sorry but me and Julia have already decided to eat together."
"Can't we all go?" She smurks at me.
"Yeah we can do that, right?" I try to calm myself down but I only wanna show my best side to Julia.
"Sure, let's go. Where you wanna eat?"
"I don't care, you can choose." Julia looks at me.
"We're going to Chipotle." Felicia says without doubting. She struts away with Lucy right behind. I quickly grab Nicole's hand before she walks away too.
"Nicole, let's go the other way." I can feel the desperate look in my eyes.
"Why? They seem nice plus I wanna get to know more people in the class." She tries to loosen my grip.
"They seem nice but they aren't I promise you."
I realise I sound desperate and I drop her hand.
"I'm sorry." I say under my breath. "I'm so sorry."
I turn around and walk to the school toilets.
I didn't see where Nicole went but I suppose she walked with the others. I'm just sitting in the stall crying. My eyes are swollen.
What's wrong with me? I don't know this girl yet I'm crying cause of her. I met her today. Am I sick? This is why I am alone, why I avoid people. I mess everyting up all the time. These thoughts are going to be the end of me.
From time to time I hear people walk in and I've heard the bell ring multiple times. I just wanna sink underground. It wasn't even that big of a deal but I made it embarassing for all of us. I've stopped crying but my eyes are still red. I even think school is over so I should head out.
I look around me no one is around so I can just walk home.
The moment I reach the door I feel a hand on my shoulder.
