Twisted

Chapter 2

I rushed downstairs to quickly grab some breakfast before heading to school. I dropped my pink backpack on the couch so i could easily grab it on my way outside. I decided on cereal with some milk. Luckily, i managed to finish it up before my dad was ready to leave.
"Ally, let's go. I don't wanna be late for work. "
I grabbed my backpack and joined him in his old Toyota Tacoma.
I honestly hated that truck. I thought he could do better, considering he works for the state  and earns a good amount of money. I tried my best to convince him to buy a new vehicle at least but the man wouldn't budge.

My school wasn't too far from the house so we reached sooner than later. I got off quickly and walked inside. I met a few people around whom i greeted and headed towards my locker where I spotted my friends.

My mind was still occupied by the dream i had the last night. I bumped into someone and his books fell.
'Well, yay.'

In a swift movement i bent to help pick up his books while apologising.
"Oh My Goodness. I'm so-"
As i looked up, i was dumbfounded. I certainly did not know him so he must have been new. I practically at least, recognized every face in school.

He was handsome. His brown eyes had this glimmer in them. With a chiseled jaw and being lean, a bit too lean but not enough to mar his facial features, he couldn't go anywhere without being noticed as a newcomer.

I shook my head back to reality.
"Sorry"
I wasn't exactly a shy person but not too open as well but after the first encounter, i had this sudden urge to get to know him more at the same time, keep my distance.

After that whole 'scene', my mind was no longer occupied by the dream. I had a lot more time to think anyway. I made my way to my locker as fast as i could while being careful this time. I was trying to avoid bumping into anyone again. When i got there, i hugged each of my friends and they returned the gesture.

"Hey Ally"
"Hi Chloe. How are you doing? "
"Well someone feels good today.
And looks good as well. I'm glad I'm influencing you in one wayor the other", she said with a proud smirk on her face.

I rolled my eyes and we chuckled lightly.
"Umm hello. Rosy and i are enjoying being ignored in this conversation so please, carry on"
I rolled my eyes once more and ignored them again just to annoy Melissa.
"Yes Chloe. I feel pretty good today. Don't ask me why. It's a mood"

"Or is it Joel?", she batted her long lashes at me.

"Oooooooh" Melissa and Rosy cooed.
"Umm....who's Joel?"
"The new guy"
"Shut up you guys. You know I'm not like that."
I started to feel a blush creep up my neck.

"OH MY GOD!!", they said in unison.
"Ally Anderson is blushing. Somebody call Fox News"
Trust Chloe to be dramatic.

Just then the bell went for first class.
"Gotta go". With that i grabbed Rosy and dragged her off since we had History together.
"Were you really blushing?? I still can't believe it".
"Rosy!" I let out a groan and i felt another blush creep up again.

"Okay okay. Sheesh. I thought you were in a good mood today"
"Well I was until you brought up the blush thingy"

We made it to class on time and i couldn't wait till class was over. I hated History. It felt like i was time travelling to those times and of course no one wanted to live there.

I rushed out of class when lesson was over. I couldn't survive another minute in there.

Hello guys.
Since this is my first time writing with no experience whatsoever at age 14, i could really use some help. You could comment and give me feedback, tell me what you think so far (even though onlytwo chapters are out).
How many words do you think would be good enough for a chapter?
Is this chapter too long?
(I personally like slow burn books so this will most likely be one)
I welcome criticism as well. I believe it makes my writing better. I will probably update another chapter today but till then....byeeee.🤗
