Lil's PoV
Going to a high school was kind of scary, but at least I have people I that I know. I'm not completely alone. But what if I didn't have any classes with my friends? My brother? What if I'm all alone?
Butterflies consume my stomach, I was so nervous. But it wasn't like I hadn't seen these people before, it was a small neighborhood. I shouldn't have skipped breakfast, I was starving. Maybe there's a vending machine somewhere.
"Yo, Lil!" Tommy walks up to me, he looked nervous too. "You nervous?" He didn't dress up like most people did, just a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.
"Very. I'm starving." I grew my hair out recently and my bangs wouldn't stay out of my face. "What about you?"
"I'll be fine. But you're shaking."
"What if I don't have any classes with anyone? I don't wanna be away from Phil for too long."
"He can take care of himself and we'll see each other after school. We're meeting at the Java Lava, remember?"
I nod as I try to pull my hair into a ponytail. Which wasn't a good idea because I was moving my head. "Do you know if there's a vending machine around here?"
"Chuckie said when you first walked in there's two. I better get my schedule and find my first period. See ya." He walks off, heading to the office.
I pull my hair up in a ponytail, then head inside. Tommy was right, there was two vending machines. I pull my wallet of my pink purse. So many good things to choose from.
"Hey, you," a girl says to me, she was leaning against one of the vending machines. "Do you want this?" She holds out a package of Strawberry Poptarts. "It gave me two, I guess I'm lucky."
I notice she has an accent, a British accent. "Uh...thanks." I grab the package. "Are you new?"
"No, I've lived here since I was six."
"I don't think I've seen you before." Her long blonde hair, grey eyes, dark makeup, and rock chick look didn't ring a bell.
"I'm Amy Williams." The name didn't sound familiar at all. "You're Lillian DeVille. We had gym together once."
"Oh..." She was cute...wait, what did I just think?
"Well, I have to go." She picks up her bag and I watch her walk away.
If she wasn't new, how have I not seen her before? And why did I think she was cute? I mean, it was like I was attracted to her or something. But I couldn't be, right?
My stomach growls, turning my attention back to reality. I open the package and take a bite out of one of the Poptarts. I still needed to get my schedule from the office.
I wanted to have at least one class with the girl, to get to know her more. Maybe look at her? I wasn't really sure how I was feeling at this moment in time.
"Hey, Lil," Phil come up to me, papers in hand. "I got your schedule for you." He hands me my schedule then takes a Poptart. "We have lunch and American History together." His wavy brown hair falls into his face as he chews/ "Sucks, I wish we had more."
"At least we have classes together," I shrug. I was gonna miss my brother, but we WERE separate people. It was time to have some time apart. "Have you checked with anyone else?"
"You have first period with Tommy, we all have lunch together."
"Did you only see Tommy's schedule?"
"Yeah, I texted Kimi and Chuckie our schedules."
"Either of them text back?"
"Not yet. But I better get to class. Text you when they reply." With that, he runs off.
I check my schedule:
1st period: Biology
2nd period: American History
3rd period: Chior/Lunch
4th period: Health
5th period: English
6th period: Algebra
7th period: Art
8th period: Study Hall
Third period was way too early for lunch, I'll have to bring snacks and eat them in my later classes. If I'm allowed. I check my appearance in a combact mirror that I carry around in my purse. Hair looked good, makeup was fine, no pimples. I was good to go.
I put the mirror back and walk to my first period. There was familiar faces, some new. I spot Tommy by the windows, far from the lab table was two rows away from the teacher's desk, two people to a desk.
I put my purse on the empty side of the desk where he sat. "Hey," I say.
"You worried." He gives me a small smirk. His purple hair, which was natural, fell in his face some.
"I know." I sit in the empty seat, fixing my black skirt before I sit. "I have to ask you-"
The bell rings, the class is silent. Our teacher looks at us from her desk, she was pretty young. Probably fresh out of college.
"My name is Ms. Robinson, your Biology teacher. We will go over my classroom rules, play a little name game, then I'll assign books. Questions?"
Tommy's hand shoots up. "Ms. Robinson, can we stay in these seats?"
"Eventually I will move you guys. I need to know your names first. But if you guys give me a reason to move you, I will."
I raise my hand. "Where'd you get your top?" I see a few girls nod in agreement, wanting to knowa also.
Her top was a lime green color, it was slim and had a v-neck. It was super cute. "Forever 21. Is that it?" She waits a few moments. "Time for a name game. You're going to come up with an adjective that explains you, but it has to start with the same letter as your name. So, you'll state your name and give your adjective. I'll start. My name is and I am respectful. Who wants to go next?"
I raise my hand. "I'm Lillian, you can call me Lil, and I'm little." I was shorter than the rest of my friends, I was pretty short.
The bell rings for class to end. "What were you going to ask me?" Tommy puts his back pack on.
"Oh yeah. Do you know a Amy Williams? Blonde hair that is long and has bangs, grey eyes, tall, skinny, wears dark makeup."
"Uh...yeah, I think. Why?"
I shrug. "I thought she was new...I haven't seen her before. Well, I saw her today."
"We had gym with her."
"I know, she told me. I don't know how I never noticed her."
Tommy shrugs. "I'll see you at lunch." He walks out the of the classroom.
I pick up my belongings and walk to my next class. "Hey," I say to Phil as I sit down beside him.
"Is it time to go home yet?" He grins at me. "High school sucks."
"Its only second period/"
"I know, I just don't like school."
I roll my eyes and look around the classroom. "Did Chuckie and Kimi text back?"
"We all have lunch together. Kimi has English with you."
"What about Chuckie?"
"Study Hall with me."
I nod. "Sounds good."
