a/n finally guys, Evan will make an appearance.
I wake up to my alarm singing a pop classic which I HATE that's the only way I get up, to stop the torture if listening to the song. It works! I pick out my outfit, I usually wear black and today is no exception. I decide on my black Nirvana top, black jeans,black converse and a red flannel, that was my mums. I do my hair in a simple side braid and go to the kitchen where I am greeted by Maggie. She serves me some cereal and I have to say I am warming to Maggie, she doesn't try to act like my mum and she's been nothing but caring. She offers to drive me in but I refuse the kind gesture because she's clearly busy with the babies.
"I'll walk, that'll give me a chance to listen to some music."
" Okay! Good luck at your first day."
"Thanks, I'll need it!"
At that I start my journey I get up a map on my phone as I don't know anywhere. I miss New York a lot, I know my way around there blindfolded. That chapter of my life is over I remind myself. I do get excited when I see a milkshake shop, exactly what I was craving! I get a strawberry milkshake and reach school. As I walk in it's a hive of activity I try to multitask drinking, reading the school map and walking. Right as I look down I walk into something or someone tall and hard. As I fall over my milkshake splatters all over my flannel.
Shit I mutter, one of the only things I have of mums.
"Oh my God I'm so sorry. I've ruined your top." The guy says as he trys to help me up. I'm confused by this as itself my fault but I play along with it. But then I get a proper look and him and my heart races, he slowly sweeps his fingers through his curly, golden locks and waits for my reply. Get it together Jen I think to myself.
" you're lucky. It's fine." I snap at him. I am aware that I'm now the laughing stock of the corridor and a blonde girl who I assume is the 'it girl' is laughing at me chatting with her mates.
"No I'm sorry, look let me get you a new top."
"It's fine" I say picking up my milkshake cup and bag that were on the floor.
"Come on I'm just practising long beach hospitality"
" Oh really!? Is that what they call hitting in strangers these days?" I start to walk away when I hear him laugh. My God that was a cute laugh, snap out of it I tell myself. He starts to follow me walking next to me.
"Look, are you new here? I can show you around long beach high school?"
" As delightful as that sounds I am capable of it myself." This time he doesn't follow me and for some reason I'm disappointed.
