who's the new kid
I walk into my first period class. I see desks lots of em aligned by twos . Most empty but from the ones that have been filled I can tell this is going to be a boring class. But nonetheless I will achieve my goal no matter the class.
My new teacher Mr.Mcadam steps into his class and takes his seat. More bodies fill the seats occupying all but one. This one seat gives me the chills. It's emptiness mocks me, the absence cold.
Mr.Mcadam starts his lesson causing me to pay attention and write down notes. After ten minutes of his lesson Mr.Mcadam is interrupted by a student.
"Sorry I'm late " a male voice says still outside the class room. "May I join your class "
"Why not " Mr.Mcadam replies sounding slightly annoyed. "take a seat next to... well just sit in the empty seat ."
"Will do Mr...."
"Mcadam " he finishes.
The male walks into the classroom like that's were he belonged. He plops into the seat filling it with warmth, filling me with warmth.
"The names Jake " he says extending his hand.
"Stephanie" I say reaching to take his hand filling mine with warmth.
" Nice to meet you Stef. " he looks me in the eyes as if he's seen me before,like he knows everything about me .
I smile retracting my hand but it won't budge. I look up to see him smiling back at me and tightens his grip before letting go.

Forty Five minutes pass and I begin to gather my things. I pick up my journal and start to gather the rest of my things. When I reach back down I felt a rush of warmth on my hand. I look up to find Jake holding my hand. Earlier I hadn't noticed his eye's or his hair that both held a beautiful hazelnut colour.
"Stef" his voice jolts me back to reality.
"Oh " I shake my head and remove our grip. I stand up and start to walk away but I stop it's impossible to fight the urge I have to look back so I don't.
I turn back to see him looking back at me. "See you around " he say's .
Walking out the door there's a group of preps talking and giggling ,when I'm close enough I hear one of them talking she looks back at me and asks " Stephanie who's the new kid?"
"I'm not sure." but I want to find out.
