'No one is staring…' I thought to myself. Of course I knew I was lying. The hallway was full of other high school students; their gazes were burning on me. I hunched my shoulders, almost as if I was trying to hide. I looked at the small piece of paper I held in my hands. It had my locker number and the combination. There was a group of girls I passed by and they scoffed at me, rolling their blue eyes and flicking their blond hair behind their shoulders. They looked away. I walked faster. Then I passed the notorious group of jocks in black and red football jackets. Their wolf whistles made me blush at the irony. I got a glimpse of the big black raven on the back of their jackets. I couldn't stop looking into the beady red eyes of the raven. At least until I tripped over my own feet. My cheek hit the floor. The floor smelt like rubber. I bit my cheek on accident, and I jumped in pain, which sent my biology book sliding down the hall.
"Damn it…" I growled as I jumped up and ran after it. I slid across the floor like a baseball player and slid past several more students around my age, fifteen. I grabbed the book as it slowed down and I caught up with it. My knees were burning from light green tiled floor. I got up and brushed myself off, ignoring the fact everyone was staring at me. Oh well, they already were anyway. I shove my biology book in my black and blue backpack, which was already full of my math book and science book. Not to mention my just-because book. I was busy reading Love Bites by Che'yna Shotwell. I was a quarter of the way done with the book and I was already attached to the characters. I began thinking of my favorite character, Jackie. But my thoughts were broken by a husky laugh behind me. I jumped slightly and straightened myself up, so my back was no longer arched. I spun around to stare at the face of a tan boy with crystal clear blue eyes. I was mesmerized.
"Hello." He said. His hair was a dark auburn and soft-looking. There was a hint of red that shined in his hair and I had to stop myself from falling over. He raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, right. Hello." I said quickly. I slapped myself in my mind. But he laughed.
"You new here?" He asked, shifting his weight onto his right side. I was ready to begin hyperventilating, but managed to keep my breathing even.
"Yeah, it's my first day." I told him. 'He already knows that!' I told myself.
"Do you need help finding your locker?" He asked.
"Yeah, this place is so huge." My voice cracked when I said huge. Usually I liked big places, but only when it was wide and empty. This place was full of people.
"What's your locker number?" He put his hands in his jeans pockets. I looked at the piece of paper.
"365." I read the numbers aloud.
"Right next to mine." He said. My heart raced.
"Cool." I said. My voice was squeaky. He turned around and began walking the other way, and motioned with one hand for me to follow. I gripped my backpack tighter and began to walk after him. We passed by many other green lockers but he turned and hit a locker two times with his fist lightly.
"This one's yours." He smiled. He stepped aside and opened the locker next to his. I knew that was his. I looked at the locker combination and began turning the dial on the locker. It popped right open. I smiled and began putting my books in it. I pulled out Love Bites.
"You read that?" The boy asked. I nodded and let my hair fall in front of my face. I looked over at him from the corner of my eye. He pulled a book out of his locker.
"So do I." and he smirked. I nearly fainted and I smiled wide and brushed my hair behind my ear.
"I love it." I admitted. I knew a lot of people hated the book, for reasons unknown, but to find a hot guy to also likes it was a gold mine.
"Yeah, one of the characters has my name." He laughed.
"Really? Which one?" I asked, turning my torso towards him.
"Nathan. Nathan O'Neal." He said clearly.
"Wow, that's so cool. One of the characters actually has my name too." I said. I got a shiver. I felt for the wind. No breeze.
"Which one? Jackie?" He said, leaning against the lockers.
"I wish." I admitted. "She's my favorite character. But no, it's Zoey. Zoey Night." I tried to make it sound like my name was cool, like most of the Zoeys in the world. But with my clumsiness and straight dirty-blond hair, I couldn't live up to the expectations of my name. Not to mention my boring gray-blue eyes.
"That is so creepy. We have an Erik Night that goes to this school." Nathan said. His husky voice sounded almost excited. "We all bear the names of fictional characters."
"Who said they were fictional?" I said. I meant for it to sounds sarcastic, but it almost sounded as if I meant for it to sound like I thought they were real. Nathan let out a sigh.
"To bad we don't have Jackie that goes here." Just after Nathan said that, the front doors of the school swung open. A girl with long, straight black hair stepped in. My jaw dropped. She wore knee high black converse, ones I have always wanted, black mini skirt, and a scarlet red strapless corset. I then knew none of the guys would look twice at me. Even Nathan was staring after her. She looked around at everyone in the hall and pulled out a pair of dark sunglasses. She put them on and tightened her grip on her black and red shoulder bag. Then she began to walk. She walked so fluidly, almost as if she wasn't walking at all. Floating would have been a better word for the way she walked. Or perhaps dancing, and even without the music, she walked to a beat. 'Don't turn towards me, don't turn towards me!' I pleaded desperately in my head. But things never go the way I want them. She turned and began to open the locker next to mine. The corner of her mouth was turned upright into a sexy smirk. She was wearing a silver cross that sported a red jewel. It was held on thin black leather that looked almost like a collar because it was so close to her neck. She was pale. So pale I could see her blue veins. I swore I could see the blood pumping through her.
"Hello…" I said to her quietly. She turned her head towards me. Every time she moved it seemed like she was going in slow motion.
"Yes, hello." She said softly. She had a slight accent, but I couldn't tell from where. I looked over at Nathan. His jaw was dropped slightly. I groaned quietly.
"Are you new here?" The girl asked. I turned back towards her.
"Are you?"
"I used to go here long ago." She admitted. Her voice almost sounded as if she were in pain.
"Well, yes, I am new here." I told her. I flicked my hair out of my eyes. The girl leaned foreword to look at Nathan.
"Hi Nathan." She said, smiling.
"Hey, Jackie. Long time no see." He said. I was shocked.
"You two know each other?" I asked my voice full of surprise.
"Yes." Jackie said. "We're friends." 'Well that's just great!' I screamed in my head. 'I finally find a cute boy and she comes along…'
"Story of my life…" I whispered. Jackie looked at me.
"Did you say something?" She asked, her accent getting thicker.
"No, it's not important." I growled. I slammed my locker door and began to walk away quickly.
"Zoey!" Nathan yelled after me. I ignored him and began to walk faster. Anything to get away from those two. Especially Jackie... I know it may seem rude to hate someone when they are being so kind to you, but I hate when I never get a boyfriend, and then a boy comes along, and someone ruins it for me. This isn't the first time it's happened and I didn't want it to happen again. I thought a new school meant a new beginning. I guess not.
