I walked downstairs with my bag in tow. Today was the first day of school and I wanted to go early.
It's not like I have anyone to see, but I like to be there before I need to so I'm not late.
I start on my walk to school with an apple in my hand.
Before she died my grandma always made me eat an apple in the morning. I hated them. Now, I always eat one. It reminds me of her.
She was my best friend, my only friend. She basically raised me. My mom is a nurse and is always being called into work.
It isn't her fault. She does what she has to do to make ends meet. She has been since my father left. The man met me and left.
I got news a year ago that he committed. He's dead now so I could never ask him why. Why did he leave as soon as he saw me.
As I'm walking I see it's about to rain. I start to run because I don't want to have dripping clothes all day.
Running is the death of me because I'm extra clumsy. I see the school come into view so I run faster.
Then I fall
Of course I fall. That's always how it goes for me. I get up and I assess my injuries.
Scraped hands and a bleeding knee. Looks like I'm gonna be the nurses first patient of the year.
I hobble to the school and enter. I walk to the office/nurse station.
I sit in the chair they provided as I scroll through my phone. I feel a pair of eyes on me.
I ignore it at first. A minute goes by and the persons gaze continues to stay on me.
I let out a loud sigh and look across the room in annoyance. That is, until I see the person staring at me.
A tall guy with brown hair and green eyes. His veins were prominent and snaking down his arms and down into his hands.
I felt the need to be scared even though he had never given a reason. I've never seen him before.
I look down at my hands and attempt to shrink in my chair, his gaze never leaving me.
The nurse finally gets there and cleans me up. When I walk out the guy isn't there any more.
I sigh and proceed to my homeroom. Senior year is just great so far.
We do the usual first day things. School rules, all about me, etc. The bell rings and I get up from my seat and hand in my papers.
As I walk to first period I feel someone looking at me again. It's him. I just know it.
I sneak a peek out of the corner of my eye and it is indeed him.
I walk a little faster and finally get to first period. It's the same thing as homeroom all the way up until 7th.
When I walk into seventh period I see him. The teacher has us all stand on the wall. We have seating charts and it's boy girl alternate.
I gulp. I'm not religious, but I say a silent prayer that I'm not next to him. The teacher starts calling names and I zone out.
"Sicily Ammio"
I look up and he points to a seat. The one next to him. Of course it was next to him. Of course.
I sit next to him and chills run down my spine. I'm shaking. I don't know why I'm so afraid.
Maybe it's because he looks to be somewhere around six foot two. I'm five foot six. He is much bigger than I am.
Also, he is extremely attractive. He has the most amazing eyes. I, however am just a dark blue eyed brunette.
He is intimidating me and I don't like it.
I feel his gaze again.
I will probably regret it, but I clear my throat and say "Can you stop staring at me."
Not a word comes out of his mouth and an awkward science settles between us.
All of a sudden he gets up and walks out. He didn't even look at the teacher. I guess he scares him.
He sends a glare over his shoulder towards me.
That in itself makes me all the more scared.
