Today I was a nervous wreck, it was my first day of high school and I've tried on outfit after outfit but, I decided on a light blue tank top, that has lace on the neck line with my black skinny jeans, a thin black cardigan and a pair of flats. Moving on to makeup and hair, my dark brown hair was dry, so I left it down and ran the straighter through it. With my makeup, I put on some black eyeliner on my eyelid that stretched into a point at the end to make my blue eyes stand out and wore some cherry coloured lip gloss.
After I finished getting ready I sent a text to my best friend Austin, to meet me at my house in 15 minutes. Austin and I have been friends for years. He has lightly tanned skin with black sort of brown hair and blue eyes just like his mother. On the first day of kindergarten, I was sitting by myself in the corner scared when Austin walked up and introduced himself to me, from then until now, he's been my only friend. We are pretty much the same, shy but, energetic, love skate boarding, listen to all types of music, read a lot of the same books, like almost all the same foods.
Before leaving my house, I grabbed my shoes I used of skate boarding just in case Austin brought his board. When I looked out the window I saw him walking up the pathway to my front door.
"Where's your board" I asked opening the door.
"I think my brother hid it on me." He said clearly angry.
"All right, I'll leave my behind then." I said over my shoulder while walking over to put my shoes back on the rack and my board back in the hall closet.
"So, are you scared?" he asked me stepping inside.
"Not really." I lied.
"You suck at lying." He said. It was true though, I really did suck at lying my face always gives me away.
"Whatever, let's go." I said, pulling him out the door.
School was only 10 minutes away from my house which was really great though we would have been there fast with our boards. Austin and I talked about our classes, we only had 3 out of 4 classes together, so I was going to be alone in my math class. Even though school didn't start until 9:30, I wanted to get there earlier so I could see where all my classes were so I wouldn't get lost.
It was just after 9 o'clock when we got to the school, we walked inside and I was shocked at how big this place was, I looked around at everything and I smiled a little. The floors were a dark grey stone like tile and the walls were a light grey colour with cases that held trophies and pictures, old football gear and other things I didn't have time to look at. I looked to my right and saw the hallway where there was lockers and I think class room door ways with people standing in groups laughing and hugging each other. I turned my head left and saw it was pretty much the same thing but I noticed stairs that went up, so I looking up I saw just above us was a landing that went across to I'm guessing more classrooms on the second floor.
"This place is pretty cool isn't it?" Austin asked me turning my attention to him.
"Yes, it's insane." I said a little excited but still really scared.
"Well, let's go find our classrooms." He said taking out the piece of paper with the classroom numbers on it.
"Sounds good to me." I said while we headed down the left hallway.
We managed to find all the rooms we had to be in just before we had to go to our first class. Science. Lucky for us we got to sit beside each other, so we talked the whole hour since we only got handed papers and talked about what the class is going to be like and the different topics we were going to cover this year. It was great, no work on the first day, I hoped it was like this for all the other classes. When the class ended I was starting to feel calmer then things morning.
We walked to our history class but, weren't so lucky this time as we had to be seated with someone else. I did bother talking to the girl next to me, she didn't look at all friendly. We got handed more paper and the teacher went on and on talking about classroom rules. So far I really didn't like this woman. She was older with hair starting to turn grey. She wore really big glasses and really ugly dress that went past her knees. I couldn't wait to leave for our we lunch period next and I was really hungry.
Finally it was over and Austin and I were together walking out of the room. I had thrown out the rest of my apple as we walked in the into the space where we first entered the school I looked up for a split second and noticed four people looking over the landing on the second floor.
First was a girl, she was short, probably short than my five foot three inches. Her black hair that was cut just below her shoulders and her dark eyes had caught the light just right turning them a lighter brown, it was pretty with her pale skin. She wore a blue dress that looked skin-tight with sleeves that went down to her elbows. She was standing next to a guy holding his hand. He was so much taller than her, he was pale with blond hair that swept the to right side with blue eyes I think. He was wearing a white t-shirt that hung a little off his skinny body and grey jeans. He was laughing at something the guy next to him said. He looked almost the same but with darker hair and was wearing a black t-shirt with dark blue jeans. Another girl was standing with them. She was tall with long bright red hair wearing black leggings and a grey tank top with a black cardigan like mine. She was staring at someone I couldn't get a clear view of.
"Are you listening to me?" Austin said breaking me out of my focus on them.
"I'm sorry, what were you saying?" I asked embarrassed.
"Where do you want to sit?" he asked.
"Anywhere, but could we go upstairs for a second I want to make sure I know where my math class is." I asked him knowing he was going to say yes.
"Sure." He said.
We went left to the stairs and walked up, I really wanted to see what the fifth person looked like out of the group but, I would never tell Austin that. I had just stepped on the top step when my phone went off in my pocket so I took it out of my pocket, not watching where I was going. I seen "Mom" on the screen and put it quickly back into my pocket. Taking a step forward I slammed into something hard making me stumble back when two strong hands grabbed both of my arms to keep me from falling backwards. Grabbing a hold of the leather jacket sleeve I steady myself and I looked up scared a little, but that's when I saw him.
He was tall and wide from all the muscles under his clothes with dark black hair that was cut short and gelled into a point in the front. His eyes were a soft colour blue and with red lips formed into a hard-line as he stared down at me. It was like I was in a trance as I stared at this very gorgeous man. After what felt like forever I snapped out of it feeling really embarrassed I let go of his sleeve and he left go of my arms when the two boys and two girls I'd seen earlier walked up behind him.
"I'm sorry." I said quietly and blushing.
"Don't worry about it." He said in a deep voice.
They all walked past me without another word and I watched them all walked down the stairs when the tall boy I walked into glanced back up at me before I could look away. I could feel my face heating up as I blushed as he stared before heading out of sight.
"That was interesting." Austin said making me jump.
"You scared me!" I said a little loud.
"Sorry." He laughed.
"I wonder who that guy is." I said to Austin feeling really curious.
"I don't know but, he seems strange." He said.
"How do you know if he's strange?" I asked him.
"Well, I don't." He said shrugging
"Exactly, now let's go." I said walking off to our class room.
The period dragged on but, all I could think about was that guy and his friends. Austin rambled on not knowing I wasn't paying attention. The bell rang and I walked out the door knowing I was going to be alone this class. I was sad and kind of scared but, Austin promised he would be waiting for me when it was over. As I walked through the hall I saw the dark-haired girl and the red-head. They were laughing about something when the dark haired girl saw me. Soon after her friends also looked my way. They watched me carefully as I walked by them not saying anything. Walking through the door of the class room I looked down the hall and seen five pairs of eyes all looking into mine.
