A Touch Of Cinnamon

Chapter One

Moving to a new school wasn't the worst thing in the world.

"Kennedy Kai Johnson, you're going to be late for school!" I heard my mother yell while I quickly threw on some skinny blue jeans and a knitted light blue sweater before slipping on my shoes

I ran down the stairs "Good morning mom" I say as I kissed her cheek before sitting to eat breakfast. I couldn't help but feel nervously anxious about going to a new school and meeting new people.

Once I finished my breakfast i bidded my goodbyes to my mother before rushing out the door to walk to school, the whole way there I couldn't help but the anxiety I felt wondering if I would make any friends or if there would be any bullies, but swallowed my fears as I saw the grand front of the school and walked in.
Making my way into the school looking for the office I accidentally ran into someone causing me to fall on my behind.

"Oh my god, i'm so sorry I wasn't paying attention!" I exclaimed quickly standing up, a girl my age probably a year older with dark brown hair  and blues eyes stood there

"Its okay I wasn't paying attention either so i'm sorry too, are you okay?" She asked concerned

I nodded shyly

"That good, my name's Raelynn, what's yours?"

"I'm Kennedy, I just moved here." I say quietly, She smiled brightly "Have you gotten your schedule yet?" "No, I can't seem to find the office." I mutter rubbing the back of my neck sheepishly "It's alright everyone gets lost easily it's a huge school, c'mon!" She says cheerfully as she pulls me along with her.

After picking up my schedule I was pulled me aside by Raelynn "Can i see your schedule?" I shrugged and passed it to her, watching as she skimmed through the piece of paper.

When she finished she gave it back to me "We have AP English, AP History and AP Geometry together!" To say I was relieved would be an understatement at least I had some classes with her was such a relief I wouldn't alone.

"C'mon let's go to first period, which is Geometry." she said, pulling me along, like seriously what am I, a ragdoll.

We made it to class right on time, Raelynn took us to two empty seats, we sat down and waited for class to begin.

After the tardy bell rang, a boy with black hair and deep brown eyes that seem to swallow me whole, he had a lip ring and was wearing black ripped jeans and a black V-neck.
"Mr. Knight, nice to see you finally joined us." The teacher said sarcastically "Can't say the same about you, teach."He stated plainly. He scanned across the room before meeting my gaze

I felt like a prey being watched by its predator, I shifted uncomfortably in my seat not breaking eye contact until he grunted, breaking it turning to move to a seat in front of me.

I was too distracted by staring at the back of his head. I didn't hear the teacher call my name until Raelynn elbowed me in the side

"Kennedy Johnson, would you like to introduce yourself to the class?" my teacher Ms.Williams asked

I slowly stood up looking around nervously "Uh.. M-my name's Kennedy Johnson, I'm f-from Montana." I stuttered nervously "Thank you Mr. Johnson you may sit down." I shyly sat back down only to see the mysterious boy glancing at me with an unreadable glint in his eye.
The rest of class passed quickly especially my classes having to repeat my introductions and boring lessons like a broken record until finally lunch came. "Wanna sit with me and my friends at lunch Kennedy?" "Uh sure." I say shyly but hey it beats eating alone.
