Y/N's eyes flutter open as they hear the annoying alarm sound, they look out the window as the light shines onto their face. They look away to see their new room, it was bigger than their older room but less decorated. There was only a closet, desk and bed. Y/N gets up lazily and turns off the alarm, they look through the closet for some clothes to wear and choose something easy and basic.
(Something like this or whatever you want to wear)I grab my bag and phone then head down the stairs, there was an argument between my mother and the delivery man. The moving truck was supposed to come yesterday but went to another city, I could hear my mom complaining on the phone while my father was watching a recipe about how to make vegan lasgana. My little sister was playing with her dolls. It all hurt my head so much, there was too much talking. I take a seat at the counter then my mother hands me a bowl of cereal and a cup of milk, I wasn't that hungry but forced myself to eat, couldn't let that food go to waste. I go on my phone after eating and scroll through social media. There it was again, my old friend. Quinn, the person I had a photo of in my room. Quinn was eating with some of my other friends eating at a famous resturant in my old town. I felt, jealous. I wanted to be there too, I wanted to talk to them. "Y/N lets go, we dont wanna be late now do we?" My father said with a smile. I put my phone in my pocket and walked with him to the car. I sat in the car and grabbed my phone to listen to some music. "Y/N, you excited for school?" He says checking his breifcase, I shrug and say "Not really." He frowns as he looks at me through the mirror, "Youre already great at school, im sure you are gonna do good there. Everyone is gonna like you with all that smarts." I fake a smile and say "Thanks dad." Are people only gonna like me because of my grades? Are they going to only be with me for answers like in my old school? Are they gonna use me like im a toy? I tried to stop thinking about it and focus on my music, I plugged in my earphones and turned up the volume to my favorite song.
Timeskip To School
I was walking through the empty hallways looking for my class, I was late. Will people think less of me? Will I get detention because of this? I shaked my head again trying not to overthink again. After what felt like hours of walking I finally found my class. I could see the teacher through the window of the door, he looked imtimidating. He had blonde hair and wore black glasses. I took a deep breath, my hands already shaking from fear. "Its my first day at this new school and im already late." I thought, I bit my lip and opened the door, all eyes were on me, it was scary. But there was a pair of eyes that caught my eye. Althought it was brown eyes, one of the most common eye color. It was a beautiful sight, it reminded me of coke. I then looked over to the teacher, up close they looked even more imtimadating. "Hello! You must be the new kid, welcome to Silverleaf High." The teacher said with a smile, I was suprised, I thought they would scold me for being late. "I'm Mr. Tones, how about you introduce yourself to to the class?" I looked towards the class and took another deep breath. "Hi, I'm Y/N L/N. Im from Washington..uh.. I like playing videogames and.." My brain wasn't working all of a sudden, I couldn't think of anything. "Uh... I also like coding too." I whispered. That was a lie, I don't think I even know how to code, I just thought of anything. "Thats great Y/N! Why dont you take a seat?" Mr Tones said as he patted my back. I scanned the room quickly and chose a seat in the middle. I walked slowly to the empty desk and glanced at the people I was going to be having to sit next to. Then I saw the same pair of eyes again, I quickly look away trying not to make eye contact. And then, I trip on a pencil. Did someone place that on purpose or was it an accident? Are people going to laugh at me? I felt my face hit the floor in slow-mo, god it hurt so much. As I oppened my eyes a saw a pair of hands, I look up to see those eyes again, those eyes make my stomach feel butterflies, it made me feel safe somehow. I don't know why. "Here let me help" She said with a smile, her voice sounded so pretty, it was like music to my ears. I blushed at the sound of her voice and grabbed her hand "Thank you." I said in an almost whisper voice. She smelled like vanilla and a hint of daises."Are you ok Y/N?" Said Mr. Tones, he looked really worried which made me confused, it was just a small fall. "Yeah, im fine Mr Tones." I said as a take my seat. I felt so embarrassed. I could feel eyes all over me again. I tried not to think to much of it again, nobody is gonna remember this anyways, or are they? My head hurt again, all this thinking really makes me hurt. "Well lets carry on with our history lesson shall we class?" Mr Tones said smiling.
Timeskip To Lunch •》
I was waiting in line for my food, as I finally got closer I could see the food choices. It was way better than my old school, the food looked- clean. "What would you like honey?" The lunchlady said, "Uh.. some chicken and a salad." I said fiddiling with my fingers. "Here you are." She gave the food to me with some utensils, "Thank you." I said, I walked away to go choose a place to sit, the cafeteria was packed. But there was one table, a small one, nobody sat there, I quickly walked over to that table and put my food and water bottle down. I ate quietly trying to remember what class I had next but then I hear someone sit next to me "Hello! Youre Y/N right?" She was the same girl that helped me in class. "Yes, I'm Y/N." I said as I wiped my mouth with a tissue. "Oh we haven't properly met yet, I'm Ember, Ember Taes." She said as she looked into my eyes, "Can I give you a nickname Y/N?" She says with a smile, "Uh..sure." I said quietly, "How about I call you- Strawberry?" She said as she tilted her head, I nearly spit my water out hearing that, wasn't the nickname "strawberry" a little bit- not me? "Why strawberry?" I said blushing, "Well, you blush alot, and you look like a strawberry when you do." She said grinning. I blushed again, "H-h-how about I give you a nickname Ember.." I said stuttering, "Sure!" She said still smiling, does she always smile? Her smile is so pretty, its like everything about her is perfect, "I'll call you..Coke!" I said, "Coke?" She looked at me confused, "Because your eyes are brown like coke." I smiled, "Oh I thought you meant the drug" she laughed, I chuckled along with her, ring ring ring (lmfao what is this) "Quickly! Lets get to class Strawberry." She said getting up, I grab my tray and put it away as I walk to our next class with her.Timeskip To Science Class •》
I was in class sitting next to Ember- I mean Coke. It was our last class of the day, science. "Ok class! So today we're gonna be doing a group project." The teacher said. Coke looked over at me, grinning. I smiled back at her, knowing excatly what she was thinking. "You can choose your partners, the maxium ammount of people in a group is 2. Choose your partner and sit next to eachother." Said the teacher, a swarm of people went over to Coke, "I'm so sorry but I already chose a partner..sorry guys." She said, she looked at me and winked. "Maybe next time.. see you guys!" She said similing and then walking to me. "Alot of people seem to like you Coke." I said, "Oh, yeah. I don't really know why though" She said as she scratched the back of her neck. Was she blind? She has an amazing personality and great looks. "Alright everyone! Now listen up, this has to be done in 2 weeks, i'm giving you 2 weeks to finish this, and 2 weeks is alot of time, correct? If you can't finish in 2 weeks i'll give you an F, no matter how good the presentation is." The science teacher was defnitely scary, she was an older woman, she was tall and had her hair in a bun, she wore a black dress and red nails. Coke looked at me and gave me a note that said "Lets meet up tmr at Butterfly's Hideout, its a great cafe and we can do our persentation there." She really had me in the first half, I thought she was asking me out- wait why am I even thinking this, shes my friend. I shouldnt be thinking of her like that, right?
(Bitch this is chapter 2 why we going so fucking fast with these emotions 😫)
Timeskip to the end of class"Strawberry! Can I get your number?" She said getting up from her seat, "Uhm..sure." I said, I grabbed my phone quickly. "My number is ------------" I said, she put the digits in her phone, "Mine is ----------------" she said smiling, "Ok, Strawberry how about we meet at the cafe at uh..what time are you available?" She said packing her stuff, "Im not sure, i'll ask my parents." I replied, putting my bag on. "Alright! You can text me when you find out. See you later Strawberry." She said as she left the classroom. I looked behind me to see what have looked like millions of people were eyeing me, "Strawberry? What type of nickname is that? It's so dumb it doesn't even fit you." Said one of the kids, I heard some people giggling after what he said. I tried not to think much of it and just leave. I walk out of the classroom and into the loud hallway, I walked quickly, trying to avoid everyone. I then made it to the front of the school, the wind blew my hair as I looked for a place to sit so I could wait for my parents to pick me up. I took out my phone and started scrolling through social media, and then, of course, I have to see Quinn again, Quinn was having the time of his life. He looked so happy without me, I felt jealous. He hasn't messaged me after I told him I was moving, maybe he was happy I moved? My heart hurt so much, we made so many great memories and he just- honk honk I looked up to see my parent's car honking, I get up quickly and open the backseat door to see my little sister sleeping. I quietly sit down and put my bag on the floor. I grab my phone as my father drove the car home, I opened it up to see Coke's message, it said "Make sure you dont forget about tomorrow! Tell me the time when you find out." I smiled at it, it made me feel- "Y/N, did you make any friends today at school?" My mother said as she turned he back to see me. "Yeah, I made a friend." I said smiling as I looked back at what Coke sent me. "Oh? Whats their name?" She said suprised, "Her name is Coke- I mean Ember, but I call her Coke." I said blushing, "Sweetie youre all red, are you ok?" My mother said, "Oh yeah im fine mom, dont worry!" I said.
How many times did I blush today? I looked back at my phone, embarrased at how many times I acctually blushed. "Oh mom that reminds me, can I go to a cafe with a friend tomorrow? We're gonna work on our persentation." I said, "Of course you can, but be home by 5:30 honey. And what cafe are you going to?" She said as she looked for something in her bag, "Butterfly's Hideout." I responded,
The rest of the car ride was a bit quiet, a few conversations here and there but it was unusual for it to be this quiet. My parents looked like they were gonna tell me something earlier but didn't. I wanted to find out what it was, but at the same time I didn't want to pressure them, what if they didn't have any money? What if we move again? What if they- I tried to stop overthinking and relax.Word Count: 2240
