(Ryan Ross's pov)
Beep Beep Beep! My alarm went off, scaring the living shit out of me. I jumped out of bed, smacking the alarm off. I groaned, knowing that it was the first day of public school. Public school. Great. Just what I need. I go take a shower and get dressed. As I'm blow drying my hair,my mom comes in the bathroom with a smile on her face.
"Hey sweetheart. Ready for your first day of school?" she asked.
"Uh no. I really don't want to go." I said, setting the blow dryer down.
"Aw sweetie I know you're nervous but this will be good for you." she said and walked out of the bathroom.
"Uhhuh.." I mumbled and went back to getting ready. I shrugged on my sweatshirt and grabbed my backpack, shoving a poptart in my mouth before heading out the door.
I started walking to school, my earbuds in, I was listening to Metallica when all of the sudden I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned around to see one of my childhood friends from Catholic school, Sam.
"Sam what the hell are you doing here?" I said, taking my earbuds out.
"I finally got my parents to let me go to public school with you! It took alot of begging but they finally gave in!" she exclaimed hugging me.
I hugged her back, letting out a sigh of relief that I wasn't going to be alone.
"So you pumped for this first day of school or what?" she said punching my arm
"No. I wanna go back to my school." I said, as we walked.
"Well I'm kinda excited. I've dreamed of going to a public school since I was little." she went on, smiling.
I smiled back.
"I'm kinda nervous. What if its like in the movies and we get bullied?" I asked.
"That's hollywood, Ryan. Its all fake. Its going to be great I promise!" she said, taking my hand. I squeezed it, and smiled.
We got to the school and it was a crazed madhouse. People were running everywhere. People yelling, shouting, and laughing. All the noise made me want to put my earbuds back in. But Sam looked at me and nodded. We walked the halls for a few minutes,people watching, until the bell rang. I said goodbye to Sam and went to first period, which was biology. I got to the class and sat down in a seat. The kid next to me who had brown hair and blue eyes, gave a small smile to me. I smiled back and whispered,
"So what have you guys learned so far in this class?"
"Umm.. I think we learned about genes and something about disorders." he said
"Oh.. um thanks?" I said, his words not helping at all.
"Tyson, you suck!" a girl with multi colored hair said. "He doesn't know what he's talking about he doesn't pay attention like I do." she added.
"Oh shut up Hayley! I do too pay attention." Tyson snapped.
"What's all this commotion about? I'm trying to sleep!" a blonde haired, blue eyed boy said, lifting his head off his desk.
"Patrick! Tell Tyson that he doesn't pay attention worth shit." Hayley said, pointing to Tyson.
"Yeah dude.. you pay even less attention than I do and I sleep most of the period." Patrick laughed.
"Okay Stumpy, whatever." Tyson said rolling his eyes.
"Hey I told you not to call me that!" Patrick growled.
"At least it's not as bad as Tyson Ritter the quitter." Hayley said giggling.
"Ha ha! Very funny. !" Tyson said flipping her off. Hayley stopped laughing and gasped, she flipped him off back.
"Guys! Someone has yet to tell me what we are doing in this class." I said, getting annoyed by their stupid arguement.
"Oh yeah, we're doing punnett squares." Hayley said, nodding to the board which had a chart written on it.
"Okay thanks." I sighed.
I walked away from them, leaving them to argue more, and chose a different empty seat. This one was next to a tanned boy with dark hair that fell into his dark eyes. He had his hood up, so I couldn't really see what he was doing.
"Hi, I'm Ryan Ross. Uh whats your name?" I said, sitting down. He didn't respond, so I tapped his shoulder, he looked suprised and took out his earbuds.
"Huh?"
"Oh sorry I didn't realize you were listening to music." I said, awkwardly.
"Nah dude its cool. I haven't seen you before. You new?" he asked.
"Yup." I said, shoving my hands in my pockets.
"Cool. My name's Pete Wentz. People call me Pete or Wentz.. its your choice really. What's your name?" he said, smiling.
"Ryan Ross." I said.
"Cool. If you want you can sit with me and my friends at lunch. Wait.. what lunch do you have?" he asked.
"B lunch." I say, smiling.
"Cool, us too. You can meet, Gerard, Spencer, and Adam." he said, nodding.
"Do you mind if I bring my friend Sam with me?" I asked.
"Yeah sure dude, is Sam a boy or girl?" he asked.
"A girl. She grew up with me and I promised her I would stick with her today." I said.
"Yeah of course, the more the merrier." he laughed. I smiled, happy that I found a group of friends.
