City Gurl

Chapter Twelve

I take lots and lots of deep breaths as I stand in front of my new school, Centralfare High.

It's huge, and it looks oldish and cool. There are two ginormous columns in the front if the place. There are loads of huge windows and stair cases, winding, of course. The whole thing is painted white.

Students with strange clothes and talking patterns are bustling all around me noisily. No one seems to notice me. Typical.

Keith gapes at the school's huge size, like me. Something we finally agree on.

"Shit. Shit, shit, shit," Keith mutters under his breath. "Who knew a school could be so big?"

"I totally agree with you," I answer back in awe. Keith steps forward and I follow suit. Maybe if I just give it a chance...

Suddenly a pretty blonde girl with perfectly portioned features bumps into me and stumbles.

"Watch it!" She barks angrily, smoothing her obviously brand new sky blue miniskirt. There are two girls behind her. They are both really pretty, but the one that bumped into me is the prettiest.

One of them has black hair and pretty Asian features, and one has dirty blonde hair and a strange prettiness I can't identify.

I gulp. I've definitely made a bad impression on this girl.

"I'm so sorry!" I say, trying to cover it up. "It was totally an accident!"

The Asian one rolls her eyes.

"Yeah, right," she sneers. "I saw the whole thing. You bumped right into Brianna."

The dirty blonde one nods in total agreement. I'm staring to think I've made some enemies, and on the first day, too! I was a total LOSER, with a capital L.

The one who was apparently Brianna steps closer to me. She is very intimidating. Brianna look me over like I'm a piece of shit in the toilet.

"I've never seen you before," she snarls. "Ah, you must be a newbie. And apparently, you don't know how New Yorkers work. Where are you from?"

"North Carolina," I whisper. I look around frantically for Keith, but he is gone and lost in the chaos of a crowd.

The two other girls snort. Brianna just glares at me.

"That must explain why you smell like shit," she wrinkles her nose. "But seriously, why would a fucking North Carolinian move to the best, and I mean the BEST..." Brianna yells for the word "best".

"...New York City?"

"Um," I stammer.

"What a fool of a girl. She can't even say real words!" The dirty blonde girl giggles. The two others laugh at me also. I feel like crying.

Brianna obviously looks like she's going to say something when a guy comes over. Oh my fucking God. He's hot as hell. What the...? Is he...yes! He is hotter than Harry! Wow, that's hard to beat. I feel my hand itching to twirl my hair, but I don't want to make a fool out of myself.

"Is everything ok over here, ladies?" Asks the hottie dude. God, I feel horrible.

Brianna immediately straightens up and smiles a pure white grin.

"Hey, Byron!" She beams. Her two henchgirls follow her and beam as well.

I look around and try to find an escape route. No luck at all in this crowd.

"Yes, everything is perfectly fine," the Asian nods.

"Definitely," the dirty blonde purrs.

"Oh, Byron, we were just introducing this girl right here. She's new!" Brianna gushes.

Byron smiles. "Cool," and looks at me.

Time seems to stop. He has me lost in his eyes. So handsome and-

"What's your name?" Byron asks sweetly. Brianna looks a little confused, then pissed.

"Uh, uh, um, Evelyn," I say in a very quiet voice. Brianna snickers under her breath.

"Hi, Evelyn, I'm Byron," Byron says. "Welcome to Centralfare High!"

"Thanks, I guess," I gulp stupidly.

Brianna clears her throat and says loudly, "Excuse me? Yes, we'll see you later, Byron! Come on, Jackie," she nods at the Asian. "Meredith," she nods at the dirty blonde one.

Byron grins at them. "See ya, girls,"

Brianna beams again and flashes me a look that no doubt says, 'We'll get you later, new girl,' and leaves with Jackie and Meredith.

Byron looks after them as they go and then turns to me. He looks, wait a second, he's looking fondly at me!

"Well, Evelyn, I'm sure we will talk again. But for now, I need to get to class," he says as the first bell rings.

He grins and walks away into the crowd, leaving me alone and abandoned. Again.
