I walked into my first class, which was Math. I had it with Jake. 'Wait, in my dream wasn't my first class also Math? And didn't I also have it with Sam?'   I felt eyes on me, as I sat down in a seat, at the back of the class with Jake.  "Isn't that Colby Brock? The guy who collapsed out of nowhere?"  I heard someone whisper.  "I heard that he pretended to collapse cause he just hated his life and wanted to die."  I then heard someone else say. "I've heard some people call him the Broken Boy."  "I've heard people say that one day he's going light the school on fire!"  "I've heard-"  I buried my head into my arms, and covered the back of my head with the hood of my sweatshirt.  "Hey, Colby. Don't listen to them. They are just saying rumours." Jake tried reassuring me. I lifted my head and gave him a small smile, then went back to my original position. 

A few minutes later, the teacher walked in. "Good morning Class!" She said brightly. "Good morning Mrs. Robinson." Everyone said miserably.  "As you all probably  have noticed, we have a fellow student back!" Mrs. Robinson said, looking at me.  Everyone turned and looked at me as well. I looked anywhere but at them.

~Time Skip~

The bell just rang for lunch. Which means that I have to go to the principal's office to meet my tutor. I'm a bit nervous, not gonna lie, but I shook it off once I reached the door.

I knocked on it 3 times. "Come in!" I heard Mr. Smith say from inside. I walked in and no one was in yet; just me and the principal.

"Your tutor will be here soon. She just had to go do something."  'I have to get tutored by a girl?'

"Sorry I'm a bit late Mr. Smith." I heard someone say. I looked at where I heard the voice and saw a girl.  "Colby, this is Shea. She will be your tutor!" Mr. Smith said smiling.  "H-hello." I said. She was actually kinda pretty and cute.  "Hey!" Shea then responded, with a smile.  "You are allowed to tutor him before school, at lunch, or after school." He then told Shea. She nodded. "You two should talk and get to know each other. Just so nothing gets awkward." The principal added. We both nodded. "You may go have lunch now!"  "Nice meeting you Colby!" Shea said with a smile. "Nice meeting you too!" I also smiled.

I walked into the cafeteria. I was getting more stares. "Hey Colby!" I heard a familiar voice. I looked at where it came from, and saw Jake and Brennen sitting at a table with, Tara and Devyn? Am I dreaming again? And they were also with this other girl. I don't know who she is though.

I then spotted someone; Shea. She was sitting alone, reading over some notes, I think. "Colby! Come here!" I then heard Brennen yell. I  looked from them, to Shea, then back. Making my decision.

"Hey, is okay if I sit here?" I asked as I approached Shea.  "Oh, hey Colby! Ya you can sit!" She smiled. "Thanks." I chuckled a bit.  "Don't you have friends?" She asked. "oh, uhm yeah. I was going to sit with them, but then I saw you sitting over here alone and I thought that I would sit with you. You know, just to get to know each other like Mr. Smith said." I smiled.  "Oh, okay. So what do you wanna talk about?" She then asked. "Um... Do you like scary movies or like scary things in genreral?" I said the first thing that came in mind.  "Ya! I actually really do like those type of things. Do you believe in ghosts?"  "Yeah, 100%!"

Shea and I talked about our favourite movies, places, foods, and things like that. Turns out we like a lot of the same things. And before we knew it, the bell rang for the next class to start. "Nice talking to you, Colby!" Shea said as she left the cafeteria. "Wait!" I ran up to her and asked,  "I was wondering if you wanted to come over to my house, and help me with some of homework and sh*t?" I chuckled, then saw her blush a bit.  "Yeah, sure. I gotta go now, I don't wanna be late for my next class."  She responded. "Okay, thanks! Bye Shea!" We waved goodbye, then went our separate ways.
