Life Moves On • Zach Herron

four

the dreaded noise of my alarm filled the room and i pulled myself out of bed to turn it off

i step into the shower and enjoy the warmth of the water, i wash my hair and body before drying off and getting changed into the clothes i am going to wear today

once i'm ready for the day i sit on my bed and go on instagram since i still have time before my first class

i see multiple new posts from people who went to parties at the weekend, one of those people being corbyn besson

corbyn besson is basically just a fuckboy, ever since i came here i've avoided him at all costs. he's the sort of guy who loves himself, he will literally post a different picture of himself most days, 3 times at the least on weekdays and then he posts about the parties he goes to on the weekends

i've only ever been to one party and that was daniel seavey's, i don't ever want to go to another one, especially if it's a college party

i check the time and it's 8:45 so i pick up my keys, bag and put my phone in my pocket before leaving my room and going to meet jonah so we can head to our first classes

i have literature and jonah has maths i think but luckily they are kinda close together so we can walk together

~~~

i sit down at my desk and sigh, another boring class in which i have to sit through

the rest of the class start filling the up the room i pull out my book and read through my notes from the last lesson

once the lesson begins i actually listen properly to the teacher and then he hands out a worksheet that will help us to write an essay

i annotate the sheet with notes about what i plan to write in my essay and highlight some of the words to make them stand out more

i then write down the date and title before starting my introduction to the essay

i hear a small knock on the door and the teacher gives a quick "come in"

the door opens and i see a woman walk in and there is also someone behind her but i can't see who it is

"hi sorry to interrupt your class sir but i have a new student here and he's due to be in your class now" she says and the teacher walks up to the woman and the new student they step outside and i guess he's asking who he is and everything

the class fills with whispers about who it could be but i just put my head down  and carry on with my essay, i hear the door open again and then footsteps but i don't look up

"listen up guys! we have a new member to our class joining us today i'll let him introduce himself before we carry on with the lesson" i hear the teacher say but i still keep my focus on my work

it's just a new person, what's the big deal?

"hi, erm i'm from LA" a voice said before pausing, i know that voice but i don't know why or where from

"and my name is zach herron" he says and my head moves to look at him, oh god. it's him.

i put my head back down again before he saw me and didn't look up again until he had sat down luckily he was somewhere behind me so he would only see the back of my head
