Chapter 7 - Katherine

"Katherine!" My mom yelled causing my to toss and turn in bed. "You're going to be late for school!" She yelled again and I stayed in bed hoping that I wouldn't have to go to school. I've been here for a week and I'm impressed. It's beautiful and there are so many fun things to do here.

The second I got to the house I called Carter and he approved of it too. But I haven't talked to him sense. It kind of gets me wondering but I hate to think about it. I want to call him but if he hasn't had the time to call me then I assume he's just busy.

I heard foot steps leading to my room and I pretended to be dead. The door opened and she walked over to the bed. "Katherine get up," she said smacking my arm.

"Ow!" I yelled looking at her.

"Get up, you'll be late for your first day of school," she told me and I groaned. "I got up early to make you breakfast so you better get up and get ready so you can eat," she told me and I sighed getting up.

"Ok, I'm up," I said and she walked out of the room. I looked over at my bed before walking to the bathroom and getting ready. I did my daily routine and decided to wear makeup this time. It's been awhile since I actually felt like I needed to look presentable. I finished my hair and walked to my closet. I threw some random clothes together and put them on.

"Katherine!" My mom called and I groaned zipping up my boots and running down the stairs. "Where are your things?" She asked.

"Upstairs," I shrugged and sat down at the island. I ate the breakfast my mom made me washed the dishes.

"Let's go," she told me and I nodded running upstairs and grabbing the things I needed. I checked my myself in the mirror and put on my shades. I ran down to the car and we quickly drove off.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" I asked.

"I'm going to be late for a job interview so from now on you need to get up early without me dcalling you a million times," she told me and I nodded. "Are you excited?" She squealed.

"No," I said.

"Come on, your going to be here for a while so try an enjoy it," she said.

"But how would I enjoy something that I'm so against? I didn't want to be here, I'm only here for you," I told her and she sighed. I hated that she keeps on bringing up how exciting and fun our lives will be here. It makes me thing that we might never go back to Miami and I may never see Carter or any one of my friends ever again. I choose not to think my life will get any better. I would rather be miserable here then happy.

We pulled up to the school and before my mom could say anything I hopped out and slammed the car door behind me. I walked as fast as I could so she wouldn't have to say anything to me. I walked into the school and it was the usual first day of school sight. Friends hugging and greeting each other. Other things I choose not to see like people sneaking in drugs or alcohol. Usually I would be excited for the first day back but this really sucks it out.

A book fell out of my hands and I groaned beginning to pick it up. My forehead bumps I to some one else's causing me to stumble back a little. "Ow," I winced holding onto my forehead.

"Sorry, um. Let's get you a ice pack," the guy said helping me up and taking my books from my hands.

"No, it's fine," I said but he just kept leading me down the hall. He looked back at me and he was like a goddess of jaw lines.

"I'm Jack," he smiled as we walked.

"Katherine," I smiled back as we stopped in front of a door. He opened it for me and we walked in together. "You don't have to follow me in," I told him shaking my head.

"But I do, I want to make sure your okay. I did bump my head into yours," he reminded and I laughed slightly.

"Yeah, it's still not fair that you didn't get hurt but I did," I said and he laughed.

"Jack, what did you do now? It's the first day back," the nurse asked and I giggled.

"Nothing really, I bumped into this lovely lady and she needs an ice pack," Jack told her and she nodded.

"You guys sound like you know each other pretty well," I giggled and he nodded.

"She's my aunt," he told me and I nodded. I assumed he gets hurt a lot so I didn't question it. I only met one person, doesn't mean that I might actually enjoy myself here. "Okay, I gotta run but I'll see you later," he told me.

"Definitely," I smiled which he returned before running out. The nurse have me an ice pack and told me I was fine. I nodded holding the ice pack as I walked out. I tried to avoid any eye contact with anyone else, it was embarrassing just walking around with an ice pack.

I checked my phone to see if Carter had even texted me good luck on the first day but I there was nothing. Even a simple hello would be enough for me. Carter's never like this, he's trust worthy and I trusted him to keep in contact with me so we wouldn't fall apart

I bumped into someone causing my phone to fly out of my hand and onto the floor. I hope it wasn't cracked. To get my screen fixed would be like two hundred bucks.

"Are you fucking serious," I mumbled. I've bumped into two people today. It would be twice as embarrassing to go to the nurses office twice today.

"I'm so sorry," the person said picking up my phone. I looked up to see the same guy from the airport. He looked up at me and smiled. "Hey, your the girl from the airport," he pointed out.

"Yeah, funny that literally keep running into each other," I said getting up.

"I could've helped you up," he said.

"Yeah, but I didn't want to wait till that offer came and I would look stupid sitting on the ground with some random guy kneeling beside me," I said with a sarcastic tone as he chuckled.

"What happened there?" He asked pointing to my ice pack.

"Nothing, I bumped heads with some guy earlier, but I'm fine now," I said throwing it away in the nearest trash can.

"I'm Cameron," he smiled and I nodded. "And your name?" He chuckled and I mentally face palmed myself for being so stupid.

"Katherine," I stuttered and he smiled.

"Nice to meet you Katherine," he told me and I smiled. "So, Katherine. Would you like me to show you around?" He asked and I thought about it for a moment. I remembered that I was suppose to be miserable and hate my life here. I'm suppose to be obsessing over how Carter hasn't called me in a week. I'm suppose to be missing Miami Florida like crazy but, this boy took all this worries away.

"Sure," I smiled and he examined my me before beginning to walk. I was confused because he was suppose to be giving me a tour but I guess I got the wrong image. He looked back at me standing in the middle of the lobby and laughed. He waved me over and my cheeks flushed a deep shade a red in embarrassment. I ran over to him as he chuckled every once and awhile.

"I'm sorry," he told me and I nodded.

"Don't worry, I'm always like this when in around new people. I get flustered and awkward. It may seem like I'm socially awkward but, really, I'm not," I told him before realizing j was talking fast. "I hope you got all that," I chuckled and he laughed.

"Yeah, I did. And that's good to know," he told me. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders as we continued to walk. I was uncomfortable at first because I was still with Carter. But after a few seconds, the warmth of his arm around me pushed the thought away.

So I see a lot of new people reading this book but before you go any further and get confused I'm rewriting the beginning parts because they suck so I suggest you wait till I inform you I'm done with the chapters.
