Hi guys! I'm back! Don't you worry I will be updating my other story, I just had a dream last night that inspired this story so I had to get it typed! It's not the best written by far but, I'm trying to get better! I feel like I repeat her actions too much but, that may just be me.. Anyway! I hope you guys like it :) let me know if I should continue it or just trash it.. I haven't written too much but, like I said it came to me in a dream.. I haven't got to the good parts yet.. So stay tuned.. ;)
My stomach began to ache the closer we got to Bridgewood High. My nerves were racing through my body, I felt like I was going to puke. This is my first time starting a new school. Not only just a new school but, a new school thousands of miles away from my old one.
The new school I will be attending for the rest of my schooldays, well, as my parents say. That all depends if my dad gets another job promotion again.
My hands feel like ice, it's so cold outside.I'm used to warm sunny days with children in their front yards playing and waiting for the school bus, the brief smell of the ocean when the wind is going in the right direction but, now all I see is buildings, no one walking the streets, it's like a cold empty town.
People always said New York was a busy place but, not in Bridgewood. It's like the zombie apocalypse happened here or something. The scenery is so different from California, at least in Cali everything looked so alive and welcoming, here all it seems to look like is desperation and hopelessness.
"Demetria, honey, I know this is going to take a lot of adjusting to for you, well for all of us but, it gives all of us a chance to start over plus, your father is so happy with the job promotion he won't have to be working so late and he gets paid triple the amount he was getting back in Cali. Please just give this a chance." My mothers voice actually sounded at ease for once. I guess because, now she really wouldn't have a spending limit for groceries or food not like she really had one back in Cali but, I guess things would be easier on both my parents now.
Which meant things were about to get hard for me. It's not that I'm not open-minded about this transition, it's that I left all my friends and my girlfriend behind in California.
I know we both said we were going to make it work through the distance but, when I left things were on the shaky side with our relationship especially since Sonny was starting to cut in on it.
"Mom like I said before, I'm going to give it a chance and I'm gonna go in there with an open mind and pray to god they don't eat me alive.. Like I told you before we left, I'm more concerned about Alex at this point and what's going to happen to our relationship with all this fuc- freaking distance." My eyes shifted from the dashboard to my mothers eyes that seemed to be filled with worry.
She reached over and cupped my hands in hers as she parked out front of my new school.
"Listen, I know you are mostly concerned about Alex. I know you miss her and all your other friends too, I miss her as well, this morning when I woke up, for a brief moment I forgot we had moved and I was literally about to say to your father you better go let Alex in so I can start their breakfast.. I can only imagine how hard it must be for you to deal with this but, your father and I promised we'd make sure to get her out here for Spring Break or send you back over there for Spring Break or anywhere you guys want to go. Just get through these next couple of months and i promise in April, you'll be with her again."
Her words seemed promising, i mean after all my mother was really the only one who knew how I truly felt about Alex, I mean my dad knows I'm gay and that Alex is my girlfriend but, for some reason I don't think it actually clicked in his head right since he still treated her like she was my friend.
Well, after all those two had a 'bromance', they were even going by first name basis and when basketball was on, I lost my girlfriend for the two hours it was on.
I gave my mom a quick smile as I slowly nodded wiping the tear off my cheek that managed to escape from one of my eyes.
"She said she'd call me after she gets out from school and then later tonight we have our skype date so I guess I have that to look forward to. When will I be able to use my car again?" I had just got my licence several weeks before we moved, I wanted to avoid riding the bus as much as possible.
"In about a couple of days, before we had moved I sent the application for our ids to be registered in the state so, yours should be coming in the mail soon honey." I gave her a slight smile as she gave me a small squeeze on my hand before I got out of the car facing the schools front doorway. I bit my lip as i looked back at her one last time, I swung my bag over my shoulder as I slid my phone in my back pocket entering through the heavy black doors.
The hallways seemed to be lighted, at least I knew it wouldn't look like hell like the rest of the town did. I looked around for the office, we had received a welcoming letter in the mail a couple of days ago and it said before I did anything else, I was supposed to finish registering at the main desk.
I looked around at the kids who were hanging by their lockers, they didn't seem to be bothered by me as much. I mean I tried my best to fit in, my mom said it wouldn't be such a great idea to come off as gay right away. I know she was right, but its who I was so I didn't cover it up too much. Matter of fact, I was dressed in my black jeans with my chuck taylors, my misfits t-shirt and my favorite leather jacket, my hair was still blue from when Alex and I decided to dye it a few weeks ago..
My mom was kinda pissed at first but, after a few hours she said it actually fit me very well. It was starting to fade but, I had no plans of dying it anytime soon since it was one of the very last memories I had of Alex. God I miss her, usually she'd come by my house we'd eat breakfast then leave for school. She was in most of my classes to so it wasn't like I was apart from her that much, we literally spent every waking moment with each other, she was the love of my life, she still is.
"Hi.. Can I help you find something?" A petite woman's voice came out from behind me, I turned around to find what looks about a teacher, maybe in her early 20's. She was hot, and damn did she have a great sense of style.
"Uhh yes.. I um. I'm new, its my first day and I.. I'm actually looking for the office." I bit my lip as I looked at her managing to whisper out those words.
"Oh yes, if you come with me I'll lead you there. It's actually close to my classroom." She gave me a warm smile as she reached out her hand.
"I'm Ms. Gomez, and you are?" I started to smile as I slid my hand in hers lightly shaking it. "Demetria. Demetria Lovato but, I go by Demi."
"Well, Demi, c'mon I'll take you to the office." she softly laughed as she looked back at me starting to walk.
I quickly nodded as I began to follow her looking around at the posters hung above the lockers.
They seemed to have a lot of school spirit for a dull town.
"So Demi, where you from?" She looked through her papers as she continued walking down the long hallway.
I bit my lip as I looked down at my feet before glancing up at her. "California actually."
"What ever convinced you to move here!? I hear its like 70 degrees there on an average day, meanwhile on an average day here its like 40!" she softly laughed as she looked over at me holding the papers against her chest.
"Uhh.. long story short, daddyo got a promotion which lead to lost little Demi, in your sight right now.." I joked out as I began to chuckle.
"Well if lost little Demi ever needs anything, I'm in room 302, which is actually several doors down from the office. I'm the biology teacher around here. What grade are you in?" She asked as she opened the office door for me.
"I believe i'm in 11th." I perched my lips as I slightly nodded agreeing with my response.
"Ahh you might get lucky and score me as your bio teacher, I teach 11th and 12th. Or you might get Mr. Smith, he isn't so bad but, the kids say i'm the best." She smirked as she lightly laughed holding the papers in her arm.
"Well this is your first stop, meanwhile I should probably get going to my rambunctious room of teenagers waiting for their papers. It was nice to meet you Demi." She smiled at me before turning on her heels walking out of the door.
I watched her walk away as I began to smile whispering "It was nice to meet you aswell."
"Miss, can I help you?" The lady from behind the desk questioned. She didn't look so friendly as Ms. Gomez did.. I drug myself up to her as I gave her small smile tapping my fingers against the counter lightly.
"Uh yes im the new student from Cali. Demi Lovato.." She raised her eyebrow at me before looking at the computer in front her.
She was typing a couple of things before her facial expression eased, she turned in her chair looking through a stack of papers.
My eyes skimmed the office, it had a few chairs a bulletin board with what seems to be upcoming events.
"Demetria, this is your schedule here, your lunch pin is on this paper, you will have a lunch card made up along with your school id once you get your picture taken, you will need your id to get into school events such as football games, soccer games, and such. Your parents need to finish filling out this application and right here is a welcome packet, you can look through this to see what all Bridgewood high offers.
As far as your clubs and electives, you have a week to fill them out on this paper, they can be found in the packet I gave you, during those blocks on your schedule you will be spending them in your home room teachers room this week.
Ahh and you have Ms. Gomez as your home room teacher, she's a nice lady. Any other questions?" She slightly smiled as she handed me the stack of papers.
"Umm no i think im good.. Oh wait, who should I give this check to for my lunch?" I looked through my bag sliding the papers in that gave me before taking out my small binder opening it.
"Ohh i can actually take that and deposit in your account right now so they shouldn't give you any problems.
You do have lunch privileges which means you can go outside and eat at those tables or somewhere in the courtyard, i highly doubt you would wanna go out there now but, you can also get an excuse from one of the teachers to eat in their rooms if you have homework or something you need to work on.
Any other questions Miss Lovato?" I smiled as I shook my head thanking her before I walked out of the office swinging my bag over my shoulder again.
My eyes skimmed over my schedule. They didn't use block schedule like I was used to, so it appears that I have homeroom at 7:30 with Ms. Gomez, then from 8:05 til 9:00 I have pre-calc with Mr. Costa, then from 9:05 til 9:55 I have ap world history with Mr. Borremans, then from 10:00 til 10:55 I have biology with Ms. Gomez..
Then lunch, I have A lunch so that appears to be from 11:00 to 11:35. Wow, a whole 35 minutes to eat.. I shake my head as I look over at my afternoon classes, from 11:40 til 12:50 I have creative writing, then I have an elective, that will be from 12:55 til 1:30, then from 1:35 till 2:25 I have a club and if I end up participating in a sport that'll depend on practice.
So it looks like I'll be free from this hell hole at 2:30.
I took my phone out of my pocket, checking the time, the screen lights up with a picture of Alex and I.
She was curled into me, her head rested against my chest and I was sticking out my tongue at the camera, typical.
The picture was actually taken the night we had dyed my hair. Also the night we actually slept together for the first time..
My thoughts were interrupted by a ringing bell, I looked up to see the kids starting to pour out into the hallways.
Judging by the time, I guess I'm headed to Biology.
