Shauna Morris looked in her mirror for what had to be the millionth time in this one solitary morning. She wasn't vain in fact she was far from it. She did however have to make sure that she looked presentable before she left her new home to start a new school. This time her father was sending her to the exclusive Spencer Academy. Shauna gasped in air thinking of how the snobby rich kids would respond to her. She had never done well in dealing with others her own age. That was why they were here now, in the small town of Ipswitch, Massachusetts. She had ended up in the hospital when a group of girls had decided to start taunting her as they threw rocks and her. One of the girls had thrown a rather large one at the back of her head and when she fell they started kicking her. She still bore the marks from the whole ordeal nearly two weeks later. For that reason she was looking long and hard in the mirror to make sure that she had covered every bruise before going to school. She did not want the school to get the wrong idea and report her father for abuse which in fact she had suffered at someone else's hands.
Her chestnut brown hair was straightened and pulled back only by a vibrant red head band as it fell to her shoulders. Her hazel eyes were only accentuated by the lightest touch of mascara to curl the lashes making her eyes seem larger than they were. Her lipstick was a soft pink against her almost ivory skin. It was the one thing that she hated most her pale skin freckled and had several birth marks that she detested. Aside from that she did not feel that she unusually pretty or ugly. She would consider herself to be in the middle and that is where she wanted to be.
She was dressed in the typical Spencer uniform and it was cleaned and pressed for the day. She brushed her teeth and slipped on black ballet flats deciding leave her height at five foot even rather than risk heels at a new school that she did not know very well.
Shauna was finally satisfied that her bruises were sufficiently covered by tights, hair and her blazer. She could not be more grateful for the fact that the minor cuts on her face from the fall had healed somewhat quickly. She ran down to the kitchen grabbing a nonfat yogurt from the refrigerator for her breakfast and her messenger bag.
Shauna drove her red Toyota into the parking lot of Spencer Academy with almost no time to spare much to her dismay. She hurried out and grabbed her bag as quickly as she could without tripping and making a fool of herself. She was glancing down at her map quickly to locate where she needed to go for her first class when she felt someone literally run into her. Shauna fell thankfully this time on her bottom as she had been shoved to the side. The other person must not have even noticed because they hurried on and she was left to get herself up off of the ground. Thankfully, her messenger bag had managed to hold and none of her stuff was thrown about.
As she got up she noticed a boy standing about 5 feet from where she was. He had the most gorgeous blue eyes that she had ever seen. She also noticed that he was blushing somewhat furiously. As she stood he finally managed to speak, "I—I am s-so s-sorry about my friend, he really isn't that bad. He just is in enough trouble with our first Professor of the day as it is." With that the boy left, mostly likely to try and get to his own class.
Shauna finally found her way to her first period Honors English class with no time to spare entering as the bell rang. The teacher an older gentleman looked up and noted her appearance in the doorway. The Professor gestured for her to step forward and face the class. "Class we have a new student, please introduce yourself." Shauna hated being the center of attention and even more so she hated public speaking. "My name is Shauna Morris. I'm 17 and just moved here from Washington State."
The Professor nodded that her introduction was acceptable and then told her, "You can take the seat next to Mr. Simms and Mr. Garwin perhaps you'll be a stabilizing influence there. Mr. Simms please indicate to her where she can take a seat, thank you" With that done the Professor returned to his lecture and Shauna began the process of looking to find her seat.
Shauna looked and found the boy from earlier standing up indicating to her a seat in the first balcony of the room. Shauna slowly made her way to the seat by him. With that accomplished they both sat down and they began copying the contemporary literature list of books that they would need to read this term from up on the board at the front of the room. Shauna spent the remainder of the class taking notes as thoroughly and quickly as she could on the lecture.
When the bell rang Shauna found her way to her second class Honors Biology and was dismayed to find that she was paired with a rather talkative blond for a lab partner. The girl who introduced herself as Sarah would probably come to hate her once she started to get to know her and then it would begin. It always happened eventually. The girls would start to hate her existence and then the taunting would start and eventually the full fledged bullying would begin. Finally, the bell rang and she made her way to Latin which was thankfully one of her better classes. She could handle translating and scribing all day long if she wanted too. She noticed the same boy from earlier with blue eyes and brown hair sitting in the front of the class. She made a point of sitting as far away from him as possible although she was not sure why.
When it came time for lunch she found her way out to the courtyard where she would eat her yogurt in peace and listen to her ipod and try and relax a little before she had to go to her next class which was dance. She would then be able to finish out her day in civics. Shauna heard the bell which was obnoxiously loud over her music and made her way to the studio for her dance class. She had loved dancing ever since she was 3 years old. She had been in classical ballet and lyrical lessons ever since then and she doubted that she would be learning much new but it would be a good chance to work out and stretch her muscles and for that she was grateful.
She noticed the blond girl, Sarah standing against the bars when she entered along with a mocha skinned girl who appeared to be rather tall for a girl their age. "Shauna, over hear", she heard Sarah call. Slowly like she was performing a funeral march Shauna walked over to them. "Shauna this is Kate; Kate this is Shauna", Sarah introduced once she had made her way over there. It would be a long class and Shauna knew it. Sarah was obviously not going to let her keep to herself as she would prefer.
The instructor walked in and swiftly put on some old school music and told them to begin warming up. Grateful for the interruption Shauna swiftly began her routine which had been ingrained in her for as long as she could remember. With ease Shauna flowed into the steps as the rest of the class practiced and learned them. The instructor seemed surprised and pleased by how well she preformed the steps and how tight she kept the form of each movement. Praising her precision she called her out as an example to the other girls once again placing her in the center of attention. Shauna blushed hoping that she would not be stuck working as a teaching aid here now that the instructor saw her skill level. She would rather have this time to relax and destress. That was what dance had been for her since she could even consider herself learned in the art. The teacher called her over at the end of class and asked her to consider tutoring Sarah. Shauna knew that she did not have much choice so she nodded her agreement and hurried to get out of there so that she could change and get to her next class.
In Civics the boy Garwin, as she had heard teacher refer to him was already there seated apparently next to the only vacant seat in the class. Shauna groaned inwardly as she realized that she had taken to long in cleaning up and getting here that she had no other choices. She took the only available seat and prayed that he would not feel the need to talk to her. Luck was not on her side though.
The blond turned to her and smirked," I don't think I was ever given the opportunity to properly introduce myself, I'm Garwin, Reid Garwin." The boy's intense blue eyes stunned Shauna for moment and then shaking herself out of her daze she cursed herself for getting into this situation. She was not a fan of talking to people that she did not know especially she knew that they would only hate her later on. She watched as his smirk started to fall the longer that she took to respond.
Shauna knew enough not to be impolite and turned to him, "I'm Shauna Morris." The boy smirked once again at her very pleased with himself apparently with having gained her attention. She rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to the front of the room as the Professor began the days lecture on the first amendment of the Constitution.
Shauna scribbled notes furiously as she knew that standards here would be high and if she wanted to make marks like she usually did she would have to work harder than ever. This class would not be easy and she knew it. A lot of it would hinge on argument and debate in this class. This was not something that Shauna was comfortable with but she knew that she would have to do in order to keep from failing. The first amendment encompassed more than any of the others too. That made it even more important to take notes than probably during the rest of the lectures during this class. At five till 3 the Professor stopped his lecture and everyone began to put their supplies away. The bell rang and Shauna made her way to her car never noticing that a pair of blue eyes was watching her all the way to the parking lot.
