Pencil Breaker

Chapter 1- New Kid

I sat on the cold blue chair in my chem class. Whoever sat in this seat last class didn't warm it up enough. My teacher gave me the honor of being the "nucleus" of the class. He was teaching how to balance equations at the moment and I could not afford to be sleeping right now.

But nonetheless I start to doze off in my still cold chair. Being the nucleus of the class I found the best way to sleep in front of my teacher. To just cover your eyes with your hands, leaning on your elbow and a pencil in your hands. Either I got away with it or my teacher just didn't care at all but I definitely am a good student. Just as I got used to the cold chair, starting to fall asleep, a poke shook me awake. I take my hand away that was covering my eyes to look to my right to see a stupidly grinning Carrie.

"Whaaaat" I groan.

"Did you hear about the new kid?" she says while wiggling her eyebrows. She was always excited for a new kid. Oh boy, can it be this time? She's always wanted a prince in a shining armour or just a hot student from Europe. One hot guy would make her dream come true afterall.

"You woke me up for this?" I whisper "we have new kids all the time, its no big deal".

"Non, it is a big deal" she says, staring at the teacher for a second. "This guy came from Oregon"

She grabs my arm to emphasize the amazement of him coming from a different state. Whoopie, a guy from across the country.

I raise my eyebrow "we have people from out of the country come here and you don't give two shits".
I look at Mr. B still talking and scribbling on his smart board. Everyone in the class was paying attention but us. Their zombie like eyes on the verge of collapsing turned me away.

"I heard he's hot though"

Right, I sigh. It was just always hot and cute with her. She was googly eyes for all the guys.

"Did you not hear me?" She whispers just as the bell rings.
Everyone proceeds to run off in a flash to get to their next class, I should do just that.

"Saved by the bell. Gotta run to spanish but I'll see you after!" I smile as I run away from her pouting face.

I power walk out of the room and turn right just to slam my face into someone. The impact injured my nose and I rub it a little.

"Ow" I mutter. Damn person. Whatever.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry, are you okay?" I speedily say not bothering to even looking at the person I crashed into. I needed to run.

"Yea..." the guy pauses.

I bend down and see a pair of timberlands. What was it with this school? Why was this a fad again?

I shake my head and focus on more important things, I quickly collect my binder from the floor and run away to my next class.

"Sorry!" I yell looking back to see the back of a red hoodie standing still. Oh well, just another guy I accidently hit.

Shit shit shit. I was going to be late. Freaking spanish, all the way across the school.

I was a master ninja, dodging everyone left and right, though once in a while there was impenetrable barrier of giant guys. I just wasn't able to get through and what was worse? They were slow, they were seniors and these guys didn't care if they were late.

"I'm here! I am NOT late" I exclaim as I step into the room out of breath. Everyone turns their head to stare at me. I huff as I slowly walk and look around the room. What the hell? Where was senora?

"Senora isn't here yet" Ethan laughed.

Are you kidding, I wasted my energy. I drag myself to the middle row to my seat and laid my head down. There was nothing better than laying on a nice wood table in a time like this.

"Hey, we're having the new student" Delia excitedly says.

I whip my head up off the desk "here? Today???"

"Yup!" She gushed.

"Sorry I'm late" Senora said as she came in, fashionable as ever she waved to someone in the hallway, probably the new guy.

I wonder if he was the guy from Oregon she was talking about. She would go crazy if I told her I saw him first.

"So we have a new student today and his name is Micheal" she said, waving Micheal in.

I'm pretty sure it was completely silent as he walked in. You could hear a pin drop or a mouse squeak.

Everyone had wanted to see what the rumored new kid looked like.
