BULLET IN THE HEART • ALEJANDRO ROSZARIO

Chapter 3

I hear my stupid alarm going off and 6:00 in the morning. I wanted to wake up early to look perfect. Maybe I'm overacting but it's the first day of my new school and I don't wanna be an outsider.

I unwillingly get up and take a shower, making sure to use more cold water to wake myself up.

I get out of the shower and brush my teeth. I walk back to my room and put on my clothes, and putting on my vans.

I go back to my bathroom, putting on concealer, highlighter, blush, eyeliner, and lipgloss.

I grab my backpack filled with my school supplies and skip down the stairs.

I see my mom sitting eating her breakfast. My nerves were getting the best of me so I wasn't that hungry, I just got a granola bar to go. I say good bye to my mom and get in my car.

On the way over there I calm myself down, what could go wrong? I think I'm my head.

10 mins later

I arrive at the school and my heart starts beating. You can do this. I think to myself.

I get out of the car, heading to the tables that hold our schedules. I tell the lady my name and she hands me a purple piece of paper containing my schedule for the rest of the year.

I walk into the cafeteria hearing all the voices of my soon-to-be classmates.

I had no where to sit, and frankly I didn't want to talk to anyone. So I went outside to the field and sat on the pavement and went on my phone. I talked to old friends wishing them a good day, with the same generic response.

I noticed I had 5 mins left so I got up and walked back in the building. I pulled out my paper. English
The paper said.

It was kind of confusing trying to find my class but I found it soon, and walked into the classroom. I sat next to a blonde girl named Brianna, she invited me to sit with her during lunch.

———————————————————————————

"What the fuck?" I ask groggily sitting up and checking my phone. Roshaun was calling me.

"What's up?" I ask still half asleep.

"Yo, can you pick me up?"

"S-Sure, just let me get ready." I say getting out of my bed.

"Cool, be ready in 20 mins" and with that he hung up.

Within 20 mins I was ready, backpack in the back seat.

I picked Roshaun up, and headed to school. Mattia said to meet us by the school entrance.

We arrived soon and decided to sit with Brianna.

We search for her and find her sitting alone on her phone.

Her and Kairi have always had...something, they've just been on and off.

The bell rung and we finally went to class, Brianna and Kairi heading off to English while I headed off to math.

——————————————————————————

In English I sit next to a girl named Brianna, she had a friend named Kairi sitting next to her. She invited me to lunch, and I gladly accepted since I didn't want to be left alone.

We just talked and did our introduction assignments.

"So, I'll see you at lunch?" Brianna asks collecting her stuff.

"Yeah, sure." I say putting on my backpack.

————————————————————-—————-
                                        Lunch

I walked into the cafeteria, nearby tables looking over at me as I search the room for Brianna. I see her and I'm approaching the table, when I see him.

The driver I flipped off a few days ago. I stand there stunned and quickly turn around and start walking. I walk a few steps before I hear Brianna's voice calling my name. I turn around and fake smile.

I walk over to the table and sit next to Brianna.

"This is Olivia, she just moved here from Canada."

"I'm Mattia." a guy sitting next to Kairi says. I'm Alejandro, and that, is Roshaun." He says punching  to the guy right next to him.

"Oh cool." I say. There's was a moment of awkward silence before I turn to Brianna.

"Do you wanna go get lunch?" I ask widening my eyes as a signal to get out.

"Yeah... sure." She says slowly.

OMG I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a million years. I had the flu, and then I had to go to school and make up all the work. And the last weeks have been crazy. And my schools crazy schedule took over cause we were testing- NEVER MIND. Anyways how do you like this story? Lmk Byeee ❤️
