Jade looked up at the massive school that stood before her. Her eyes widened and she felt her heart gasp and tremble in fear. Her thoughts scattered and flew as she approached the treacherous glass door.
It was her first day at the Cedar RD. High school, and Jade couldn't find any Brightside to moving here. Still it was just her having the regular teenage opinions about the move; she left all her friends behind how could her parents do that to her, and the utter panicking about fitting into a new school.
A lot to think about in her opinion, but, she was here now, so she'd best make the most of it.
Jade pulled open the heavy glass door, and soon after, she found herself being trampled by an endless wave of teens. Colours dashed by in a variety of differences. The constant change blinding her, and, so, sightlessly, she picked her way through the crowd.
She was constantly being thrown from side to side. Heat arouse from her burning face, and queasiness began to rise into the back of her throat.
Jade shook her head in defiance, and swallowing the sickening bile, she continued her journey pushing through the mass of people. And then, she saw the opening. Joyous relief briefly cleansed her worries. She reached for the gap, through the maze of heated bodies. Jade subtly felt the sweet, cool breeze glisten the front of her fingertips.
She'd nearly completely emerged from the Hell she'd just been put in when she felt her foot catch and jerk. It had caught on something, and she didn't know if it was another foot or person and she didn't really care. At least not at that moment.
Put what she did know, was that she was falling, and that she could already feel the embarrassment creeping into her chest.
The floor hit her with a force that knocked the breath out of her. Jade's vision blurred.
The lights was too bright, the ringing in her hears was too loud, and she faintly became aware of the items in her book bag being scattered all over the floor.
She gasped for a breath that she never seemed to be able to fully catch and her eyes widened in surprise.
And then, her vision began to clear, and she rolled over onto her back while she gained back her breath.
Being so caught up in shock, she barely noticed the shadow that hang over her, nor when it began to talk.
"Need help?" It asked firmly.
Still in a daze, Jade just stared back up at the dark figure, dumbfounded.
Without anything else but a grunt, she felt a hand curl into hers and pull her up from the cold floor.
It was then, when she found her feet, did she really get a good look at him.
He had eyes in the shade of emeralds, and roughly placed hair that fell down to his shoulders. Dark, naturally-made highlights fell in strips down his chocolate brown hair, bangs hung in slips down in the front of his face; a slight smile dancing on his lips.
"You alright there?" Jade nodded in awe, completely mesmerized by his gorgeous features.
A laugh rumbled from his subtly parted mouth,
"Hey, I'm Dominick."
