Chapter 12

Authors note: Hey guys, I'm sorry I left for so long, I've been so busy with school work, and I hope you understand. But I'm back now! (Celebration dance) I also want to thank you, because this book has 1000 reads! What?!?! Thank you so much, anyways lets get to the long awaited update that's taken too long to come! (You don't have to read this, but in case you don't remember, PJ's parents had died in a fire, she was adopted by Dan and Phil, now she's going to school.)

Once Emma and I got to the front office, I took a look around. Cream colored walls, with blue door frames, it smelled vaguely of dust and cheap car air fresheners. I walk up to the tall, fake wood door, and slowly turn the knob. I walk in to find a lady sitting there, dressed in long black slacks, a maroon shirt, a black blouse, and heels. The sign on the door said "Principles Office" in big, bright green letters. "Hello, what are you here for?" The lady behind the desk asked, in an overly fake cheery tone. I  nervously speak the words "Hi, My name's PJ Howell-Lester, I'm new and need my schedule?" She looks me over and smiles, then turns to type on her computer, only looking up when a paper is finished printing. She looks the paper over, and hands it to me. "There you go! have a nice first day." I look at the paper and mutter "Thanks" back to her, only half meaning it.

I walk out, and standing there is Emma, typing away on her phone. When she notices the door open, she looks up and smiles. "So, what classes do you have?" She asks me, looking back down at her phone that just buzzed. "Umm... Math, wolrd geo., biology, Pre ap english, then French, choir, theatre, and acedemic seminar. Do we have any classes together?" I ask, kind of excited, but also kind of nervous.

There's a pause as she thinks. her back straightens from being slumped against the wall texting. She slides her keyboard behind the screen of her phone, and turns to me. Her wide eyes gleaming, and finally she speaks "We have the same schedule!"

I look at her in disbelief. There's no way me and this girl I've never met have the same schedule. "Haha. Very funny. But seriously, do we have any classes together?" She looks unamused at my sarcasm and replies "Yeah. All of them." She then proceeds to turn her backpack around, and rummages through it. once she stops she pulls out a crisp looking piece of paper, and hand it over to me. Sure enough we have the same schedule. 

I was about to respond to her when the bell rang. She quickly took back the paper and put it neatly in her bag. She grabbed my wrist and pulled me through the hallway, and out the office doors. She proceeds to drag me up the stairs, and through long hallways. We finally stop at another fake wood door. She quickly fixes her hair. Once she's done, I'm getting pulled through the door again.

There's rows of desk with only a couple students in the classroom. At least I know I'm not late now. She leads me to the row closest to the window, and sit next to me in the next row over. Another bell rings, and all the students start filing in. A lone boy and a group of three girls seem to take notice of me. The boy had striking green eyes, with an orange almost gold flakes near the center. He has short curly brown hair, and is wearing a black hoodie, and with a pair of jeans, and some brown sneakers. The first girl has long wavy hair, with no volume, dark brown eyes. A little on the chubby side, but still attractive. She's wearing bell bottom pants, black sneakers, and a purple hoodie. The second girl has frizzy black hair, her skin was a bit more tan, and has almost black eyes, and despite being a little fat, she still looks good. She's wearing a maroon colored shirt, khaki shorts, and black low sneakers. The third girl looks very different. She has blonde hair, blue eyes, a little bit of acne but is still really pretty. She's wearing shorts, and shirt, and grey vans. She's very skinny.

They all decide to sit around me. The boy behind me, the first girl in front of me and the second and third in front of and behind Emma. "Hey" I hear a slightly high pitched boy voice from behind me. I turn in my seat and smile at him. "Hi" I shyly say. "I'm guessing you're new. What's your name?" he said, his voice cracking slightly mid sentence. "My name's PJ, and yours is?" I say, looking down and blushing slightly, letting my hair fall in my face and hide half of it. This boy was really cute, and I didn't want to screw this up. "My name's Braden." I smiled and turned around hearing the girl in the purple hoodie say "Well PJ, I'm Alyssa." she says this confidently, unlike Braden had. "Well I'm Becky, and this is Amo" the girl who looked Hispanic said, pointing to the blonde girl. "It's nice to meet you guys" I said in response. I saw Emma look at Alyssa, and they both had the same facial expression. Disgust.

After class, I was walking with Emma to my world geo. class. She turned to me and said "Be careful who you make friends with." and with that she opened the door to our portable and took a seat. I took a seat in front of her, seeing as she sat in the back of the row. As we waited for class to start I thought about what Emma had said. Be careful? of who? Everyone I had met seemed nice. While I was thinking, another person walked in and sat across the room. There hair was like Emma's, only light blue. They were wearing black skinny jeans with gray stars on one leg, and grey stripes on the other. They were also wearing a black shirt with black converse, only on the bottom part of the left leg and that one shoe, seemed to be bleach stains. I wanted to be friends with this person. I just didn't know if it was a boy or girl.

At lunch, I sat with Emma, but Braden, Alyssa, Amo, and Becky also joined us outside. I didn't tend to eat lunch, seeing as I wasn't hungry at the time I had it. We talked and laughed until lunch was over, but I kept noticing Emma and Alyssa glaring at each other and ignoring what the other person said. I also noticed that Amo wasn't very close to Braden, but he was very close to Alyssa. Maybe they were dating?

Me and Emma walked into our biology class, and when I walked in, I saw the most beautiful girl sitting there. She had shoulder length straight blonde scene hair, with a streak of pink in the front. She had on a floral skirt, with a loose fitted tank top. And her eyes were like a frozen lake. The prettiest blue, with slightly darker blue streaks in them. But I also noticed she had old scar on the top of her thighs, peeking out from under her skirt. So, I admit and am openly bi. and she looked stunning. I turned to Emma and pointed her out, asking who she was. "Oh. That's Juliette. Why?" she explained, slightly confused.  "No reason." I brushed her off, still staring at Juliette. I couldn't take my eyes off her. Emma looked at me, one eyebrow raised as if asking me what was up, but I couldn't care less. I walked over to that table, and sat in front of her, Emma sat beside me. When Juliette noticed me, she quickly introduced herself. "Oh, Hi!" She said in the cutest high pitched voice. She made me want to melt. "Hi." I said nervously. "I'm PJ." I quickly added, saving her breath from having to ask me. She smiled sweetly, and said she liked my name. I thanked her, and we quickly went back to our work. and in the corner of my eye, I saw Emma look at me then Juliette.

After class I notice another girl standing outside the door. I was walking with Juliette, and she walked over to the other girl and they kissed Juliette on the cheek. The girl had two lip piercing on the same side, gages, black and red hair, and was wearing basketball shorts and a loose tank top, with regular sneakers. Juliette pulled me over to them and Emma followed when I motioned for her to come. "Alex, this is PJ!" Juliette said to the other girl, whose name was apparently Alex. I smiled and she smiled back "It's nice to meet you." She had a really inviting smile, and she seem sweet despite her appearance. "You too" I replied. I looked over at Emma who was watching us, but she seemed like she was staring off into space. "Hey, we should go. We don't wanna be late to our next class." I said the her. Emma snapped back to reality, and smiled slightly. "Yeah, you're right. Bye Alex, bye Juliette." they waved to each other. "Bye you guys." and winked. despite being jealous she was taken. I started to wave when Alex hugged me. I was shocked but hugged her back, she smelled nice and I liked her hugs. I also hugged Juliette before walking away with Emma.

Not much happened my next period until the end when we were leaving. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss my bus, seeing as Emma got picked up. I was repeating the bus number in my head, when I heard a girl from my last class saying she had to get to her bus, and said the same number as my bus. I turned around and said "Hey, I ride the same bus. Wanna walk together?" She looked up at me and smiled. "Sure, I'd love that." She had long brown and blonde hair, and was a bit big. I wouldn't really call her attractive, but that didn't matter. She seemed nice. She was wearing a colorful shirt, with bell bottom jeans, and black and pink sneakers. She was also carrying a big pink binder.

We got outside looking at every bus there, but none of them were ours. It was 30 minutes after school, and our bus hadn't come. I was scared we had missed it, until it finally pulled in. I wonder what took her so long.

When I got home, I said hi to Dan and Phil, and had dinner with them, joking around, them asking me how school went, and finally playing video games. I went to bed around midnight, but it was totally worth it.
