The Game

Chapter 10 - New guy at school

Tori

So… It’s been 2 month since we moved to Chicago. It’s just horrible. Honestly, I knew it would be hard moving here, but this is just horrendous. Serena and I are not talking. Her dad and Angelina got pretty mad about the fight, so they are trying to do everything to separate us. We have been ignoring each other ever since that happened.

The good part of all this is that I’ve found some great friends. I even joined the boxing team at school. It’s mostly boys but a pair of girls come occasionally.

I wanted to join the basketball team as well but they don’t have a girl team set out. I saw K.C playing. He seems to be the captain. Can it be more typical? The cheerleader and the basketball captain, sounds just like a movie.

Serena is living up to her role as the bitch.

It’s 9:00 a.m. and my first class got cancelled so I’m sitting in the cafeteria with Omar and the others. Omar is telling me about their annual bonfire party. Sounds like a big thing but in reality it’s just the three of them and I, I guess. Wren and Silver are making out as always.

“At least show some respect and stop eating each other up when I’m speaking about our annual bonfire party”.

“…”

They continue kissing ignoring Omar completely. This may be a weird group, but I really have gotten to like these people. Omar keeps going on about the party but suddenly stops.

“What? Why did you stop?” I ask.

His mouth drops open

“Who. Is. that?”

He points to the opposite direction of the cafeteria. I turn around and a tall, brown haired guy is standing, looking confused at the different turkey sandwiches.

Oh.my.god.

He’s so dreamy. He buys lunch and turns around.

Oh no.

He saw that we were looking at him. He’s coming this way. He’s getting closer and closer.

“Hi, would you guys mind if I sit here? I’m new here.” He gives a small smile waiting for a reply. All of us stare at him, not answering him. After realizing that the poor guy is still waiting for an answer we all start speaking all at once.

“Of  c-c-course you can”
“Y..yeah, why not”
“Take a seat”. I guess I wasn’t the only one he had that effect on. He smiles and sits down

“I’m Stefan.” He shakes hands with all of us. His hands are so soft. He got high cheekbones and a sharp jaw making him look extraordinary.

“So what’s your name?” he asks all of us. Omar is the first to introduce himself and he is clearly very excited about having the new guy sit here. He keeps going on about himself and who he is. Stefan is just smiling and listening. Silver is the next. Wren only says his name, and only his name. Wren. He then puts his hands on Silver’s face and they start making out again. Stefan looks a bit shocked. He will get used to it, just the way I did.

“Don’t mind them, they are always making out, and I am Tori, by the way.” I say and smile. He looks at me with his green eyes and my heart starts pounding.

This guy is very attractive.

“Nice to meet you Tori.” He says, never letting go off my eyes. I just smile and look down at my food again.

Why is he having this effect on me?

“So do any of you have English in the next lesson? In room C25?”he asks and looks at us waiting for an answer. I couldn’t help but feel a bit happy, I have English there.
