My fingers twisted into my hair nervously as I paced back and forth down the hall debating if I should go into the class room. Maybe I should wait until tomorrow? Yes, that's what I should do, I thought to myself nodding. My mom had told me that I had didn't have to go to school today, I could have gone tomorrow. I decided to come because sitting all alone in that house wasn't something I was looking forward to.
Suddenly the door opened, the teacher had been watching me through the window. "Are you Samantha McCall?"
"Yes?" I answered, uneasily. Any question of ditching school was suddenly thrown out of the window.
"Then come in" The teacher smiled sympathetically at me, noticing my discomfort. "We don't bite Samantha"
"Call me Sam" I corrected him, smiling meekly.
I walked into the room and all attention turned towards me. My heart began to race and my hand went back to my hair, a nervous tick of teacher placed his hand on my shoulder, presenting me to the class. "This is Samantha McCall, I want you all to be nice."
"We are nice Donovan!" Lucky called out, there were some snickering and then the classroom fell into complete silence. They weren't laughing me, I told myself. They were only making fun of the teacher. Why did my heart have to race like this, I usually wasn't nervous about these kinds of things. There was just some times where you were deathly afraid you weren't going to be liked. And I wanted to be accepted, for my benefit and for my mom's. Don't want to embarrass her again.
He slapped me softly on the back and pointed at an empty seat in the back of the class. Guess that was my new seat, I carried my small bag over and sat down next to a petite blonde and a short boy with black hair.
The blonde girl smiled at me, "I'm Carly, and the boy sitting next to you is Sonny". Carly blushed when she mentioned him, she kicked the chair in front of her desk and laughed when the blonde boy grunted. "That's Jason Quartermaine. Lucky is the shorty in the front next to the brunette girl who is Elizabeth. The girl with the light brown hair over there" Carly pointed to the other side of the room, " is Emily and the guy with the black hair and tan is Nikolas"
"You know them all?" I asked, curiously.
Carly snorted, "We are all kind of related to someone in this class. Example, Lucky is my cousin".
"Oh, well I know who Nikolas is. He is my cousin" I said, and as if he heard me Nikolas turned around towards me and smirked with out any reason. Nikolas was weird, one moment he can be the most charming guy in the world, and then he has a attitude for no apparent reason.
"Really? He never mentioned that his cousin would be coming." Carly whispered to me, making sure that the teacher didn't notice her. Right after she stopped talking she turned towards me, "Isn't Mr. Donovan kinda hot?"
"Yeah, that bald spot totally turns me on." I confirmed, we giggled, and Sonny kicked Carly's chair playfully.
"Pay attention" He scolded Carly, "You talk more than Oprah."
Carly checked to see if the teacher was paying attention than she reached over and tagged Sonny's shoulder, "You can stay out of my business, Sonny. She's new and I'm embracing her as my mother would say. So shut up"
I giggled softly to myself as Sonny and Carly continued to banter. They would make a wonderful couple, I thought.
