I hate being the new girl. I'm currently sitting in a smelly classroom wishing I was at home watching The conjuring. But alas, I must endure eight more hours of painful torture. I'm forced out of my thoughts when my new teacher-Mrs. Ross- calls my to the front of the classroom. Reluctantly, my legs drag me to my doom. I know exactly what is about to happen. The execution of the new kid, the most cliché way to start here. When I reach the front she gives me a warm smile and says "Welcome to Carter High-school, could you please introduce yourself?" I only frown . But she gives me a smile that says "if you don't do it I'll make you". " My name is Evelyn Parks and I moved from Florida and um, I have a dog named Peanut". The last bit earned a few laughs from my fellow classmates. Mrs. Ross smiles and tells me I can go back to my desk, which I do so gladly when the door opens.
The class immediately goes silent when a tall guy walked in. He has brown wavy hair, a lean stance and the most mesmerizing pair of blue-green eyes I've ever seen . Clad in a black hoodie and jeans, his sharp eyes meet mine and I immediately looked away. I forced my self to stay focused on the book in front of me, and not the eye-catching stranger that was now approaching the desk to the left of me. As Mrs. Ross started today's lesson I found myself wishing I had worn something a little more impressive than a light blue pullover and black jeans with my all-so famous beaten up converse. And of course my hair was pulled into my trademark ponytail.
Behind me, a small group of girls were conversing. Most likely talking about guys and their favorite Starbucks drink. Mrs.Ross still droning on about how flashbacks in a story create tension and mystery. Tuning her out I focus on a loose string in my jeans. Then i hear one if the girls behind me say "Hey Jackie!" In this most annoying voice possible. Wait. Jackie?? I snort out loud at that. The girl then decides to come to where I am seated an say "let's switch". Giving her an irritated look, "I'm good". She doesn't seem too happy about that. "I said let's switch" with her annoyingly high pitch voice. "I said I'm good" I say slowly just so it can sink into her seemingly small brain. She huffs and shoots me a glare which I return. "I didn't catch your name". " Yeah I know" Ah,that has her riled up. After a while of glaring at me she finally sits down. Well then.
"Alrighty" Mrs.Ross says clearly annoyed that her lecture was interrupted. "I'm putting you all in partners for this project, it will take about two weeks. And if you complain about your partner, I will take away points. Any questions?" We all grumble no in response and she starts calling names. "Cameron and Sofia, Tyler and Jake, Dawson and Parker, Evelyn and Reyna,...." I look around for my partner and see a girl sitting at the front with waist length black hair, sparkling blue eyes ,heart shaped face and a cute outfit including vintage grey jeans, and a white sweater turn around to smile at me. I'm Reyna" she introduces. "I'm Evelyn" I smile. Mrs.Ross gives us a warning look before continuing to call out names. Reyna gives me a small smile before turning back around to face the front.
Soon enough, the bell rings queuing us all to start packing up once I'm ready I walk over to where Reyna is. She looks up and grins at me "gimme your phone real quick" I give her a confused look but hand it over anyway. She rolls her eyes and says "you gotta unlock it or I can't put my number it" "oh...right sorry" she shakes it off " don't worry about it" I unlock the phone and hand it to her. She puts in her number and hands it back to me. "I'll text you later so we can talk about the project" I nod, shooting her smile. " see you later"
Finally. Schools over. I'm walking over to my black Honda Accord in the school parking lot when I hear a roar behind me.Authors note:
