Winter's POV
Well the day had arrived, I was doing my first walk down the halls of McKinley High School and I couldn't help but feel like I was in American high school TV show, like a modern day 90210 but somehow more real. Maybe that was because this was real. The lockers and the groups of people talking about their weekends was how they looked in TV. For some reason I thought it would be closer to the high schools in Australia.
It just made me realise that I was really in a different place; I sighed and kept my head down. If I could get thorough this first day without any issues then maybe it would be alright.
The few times I dared to look up from my map I saw a few people looking at me with judging eyes, it was good to know that some things are the same here.
Wait, did I actually get a smile from the cute tall guy, Maybe I was already loosing it. I was so lost in my thoughts that I bumped into a pretty blonde girl in a cheerleaders outfit "Sorry" I quickly mumbled. She just smiled and said "Hi" the girl with her was even more beautiful and she just stared at me and grabbed the blondes hand and walked off. Glad I bumped into the blonde one, the other might have been so nice.
And just in front of me was my first class. Spanish, what did I know about Spanish. Here goes nothing.
By lunch time I was really missing my old high school and friends in Australia. Why did my family have to move? I found myself missing my gym class with the always cross looking Mrs Kelly, but most of all I miss knowing who to stay away from and who was nice at school.
I made my way to an empty table away in the corner with my juice, the last thing I felt like doing was eating I hadn't been able to settle these butterflies all day. I looked around at the room and saw all the cliché that you see in movies, Cheerleaders, Smart Kids, Jocks.
Then I noticed the group at the table towards the middle of the room. There was a mix of kids there, the two cheerleaders from the lockers early that day, a few football players, one was a Asian guy who seemed to be dating the Asian girl in the Goth clothing, the one with the Mohawk who seemed to be in a whispered argument with the girl with short blonde hair who I was surprised not to see at the cheerleading table, there was a guy in a wheelchair who was just sitting down with the short girl with brown hair, she had a Barbara Stienstand nose and it suited her face. Next to her was a guy with a baby face and porcelain skin, next to him was a guy wearing a bow tie and suspenders and there was a girl in bright clothes talking to…..could it be, yep the guy in the hallway that might have smiled at me.
He looked this way; I put my head down and hide behind my long black hair. I hope he hadn't seen me, last thing I need is the rumour starting that I'm a stalker or crazy.
My last class for the day was English. In sat down at the only spare table, looked like I was going to have it to myself and I started to relax. I opened my note book just in case I needed to take notes, if note I could do some drawings.
'Hi' said a voice next to me. I nearly jumped out of my skin. Without turning to see who was speaking I whispered a 'Hi' back.
'So is this your first day?' He seemed friendly but I was so used to everyone ignoring me, I wanted the day to finish that way. I just nodded and prayed the teacher would start the class.
'My names Finn, What's yours? '
Come on I told myself someone's actually being friendly don't be a jerk. I took a breath and turned to face the voice to my right. 'Hi Finn, My name is Winter'
'Hey you have an accent, Australian right?' Finn said.
'Yep" I had always been of fan of giving short answers.
'So what's a girl like you doing here?' he gave a little chuckle, I think to let me know it was a joke.
Before I could answer the teacher started talking and I gave him my full attention.
