My 6 loving brothers

First day of school Pt. 3

Clara's POV

Something didn't seem right. What did they mean that he wasn't the right person? What does he mean the names don't match?

"Excuse me. Can I call my brother? You have to believe me," I said worryingly.

Seth spoke up. "Sir, the man that attacked her last week is the same man who is in her math classroom."

"He even recognized me, gave me a weird look, and he spoke to me about how he was going to come after me if I reported him or something. Please," I sniffed, about to cry, "I am not lying."

I looked at Seth, and he looked like he wanted to punch someone. That made me a little bit more scared, but I tried to hold myself back. The principal wrote what I said on a piece of paper, and so did the police officer, Dave. While they were finishing, I found out that the principal's name is Mr. Zokle. Interesting name.

"Alright. Well, I can't let you go back to that class. We are going to do a bit of an investigation. I might have to fire him. Clara, why don't you go to guidance and get your schedule changed? Seth, you can either go with her, or you can go back to class," Mr. Zokle offered.

"I'm going with her," Seth said in a heartbeat. My stomach started to flutter when he said that.

"Alright. Here is a pass for the both of you," Me. Zokle handed us a pass. "If anyone questions you, tell them that I sent you both," he instructed.

"Alright, thank you, sir," Seth said.

"Thank you," I said as well. We left the office and went to guidance. As we were walking, I noticed something that I knew was going to change my life even more.

I liked Seth.

Seth's POV

After what I heard come out of Clara's mouth about that lizard-faced freak, I wanted to kill him so bad. I could tell Clara got a little scared. I felt really bad. I wanted to take care of her. I don't know how she does it, but she seems so awesome. She's one of those people who I can tell is selfless and cares for others. That's what I realized something that would change my life even more.

I liked Clara.

My thoughts were interrupted when we were about to enter the guidance building. I went and held the door for Clara.

"Thank you," she blushed. I shot her back a smile. My god, she's so cute when she blushes. We went up to the front desk.

"Hello, how may I help you?" The lady asked.

"Hi, um, I need my schedule changed," Clara said. She sounded a bit nervous.

"I'm sorry, we don't do schedule changes on the first day of school," the lady said.

"Ma'am, we just came from the principal's office. She HAS to get her schedule changed," I emphasized.

She looked at Clara. "And why is that?" She asked with an attitude.

"My teacher. They have to do an investigation on him because he attacked me last week," she said quickly. I could tell her anxiety was starting to spark.

"Why don't you Two sit down? I'm going to call the principal," she said. Clara and I walked over to the empty chairs and sat down. I grabbed her hand, and she looked up at me. Her eyes are so beautiful.

"It's okay, Clara. This is going to get solved," I reassured.

She smiled. "Thank you, Seth. I'm sorry I got you stuck into this situation," she apologized.

"Why are you apologizing? There is no need. We are friends, so I'm always going to look out for you," I told her with a smile.

She made this look. It was one of the most beautiful looks from her yet. "Thank you," she said with her eyes sparkling.

"Clara, there is something I want to tell you," I started.

"Okay. What is it?" She asked.

"Clara, I-" I got interrupted by the front desk lady.

"Clara, you can go see your guidance counselor, Ms. Posy. She's in the hall behind me, the very last door on the left," she instructed.

"Okay, thank you," she said. "Can he walk with me?" She asked about me. I almost blushed.

"Sure. That's fine," the lady said. Clara and I walked to the office.

I just wanted to tell her I really like her.

Clara's POV

We exited the guidance building. I had Algebra 2 Honors for my first period with a different teacher in a different building. It made me feel better. I kept wondering, however, what Seth was going to tell me. He decided to walk me to my second period, which I thought was really nice. I decided I was going to ask him.

"Hey, Seth?" I started.

"Yeah, what's up, Clara?" He responded.

I was about to ask when I got a message on my phone from an unknown number.

I know you reported me. Your freshman year will be the year you NEVER forget. Love you! Oh, and don't tell ANYONE about this text, or I'm going to pay the little one a visit.

I stopped walking. I leaned against a locker, gasping for air. The walls started to close in. Eventually, I went to the ground while taking my book bag off, sitting up with my knees to my chest and putting my head down.

"Clara! What happened?" Seth asked, worryingly.

My heart rate increase a ton. I couldn't feel my fingers or my face. I started to cry.

"Hey, hey, Clara, look at me," Seth instructed. I looked at him. "Hey, breathe with me, okay? You're safe, nothing is going to happen. Everything is going to be okay. I'm here. I'm right here for you," he reassured.

He went through a breathing exercise with me. I felt safe with him. After a few minutes, I looked up at him, and gave a small smile.

"Thank you, Seth," I said, and hugged him. He was shocked for a second, and then hugged me back.

Oh boy, is this going to be one interesting year.
