The Start of Something New

Chapter 1

The New Girl In Town

I was walking down the hall of my new school, East High. I felt alone and out of place, this was the first time I had ever moved to a new school what was worse was it was high school. People in high school all knew each other some how weather it was from elementary or middle school they all knew each other, so what was a new girl to do? Obviously make new friends and be apart of the family, but for me it's never easy to make friends, no one talks to the shy, and quiet girl because they all think their conceded or something, which in my case isn't true.

I looked at my schedule, I saw I had English III first period. As I found my classroom and took my seat I noticed that the people here were…different. They seemed closer than I expected, no one was separated into clicks. That seemed a little odd to me, no high school was like that or maybe it was just my old high school that was odd.

"Hey! Are you new here?" said a voice that startled me and my strange thoughts about this school.

"Oh um...Hi? Um yes I am" I replied to this stranger in my class. The boy just smiled sweetly and laughed a bit, I thought he was laughing at me because he could already tell I was a geek but I realized that wasn't it because he was looking at the ground, blushing. He quickly looked back up at me, I guess he noticed I was watching him carefully since I've never seen a boy blush in front of me before.

"Oh I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself, my name is Troy, Troy Bolton" said the boy named Troy. He stuck out his hand to shake my hand.

"Nice to meet you Troy, I'm Evelyn" I said with a smile as I shook his hand.

"Evelyn...what a pretty name well welcome to East High! I hope you enjoy it here if you have any problems don't be afraid to come to me" he said and gave me a wink. I smiled not sure how to take this, he seemed nice and friendly. It wasn't like me to have feelings for someone so quickly, there was something special about him though, something that made my heart flutter.

I just laughed lightly and said "Thanks" and smiled, his blue eyes were so easy to get lost in, his wonderful friendly smile made my heart beat faster, his brown hair looked kind of messy yet it still looked good on him. I was beginning to think anything would look good on him, he was so handsome.

"Hey Troy I missed you yesterday" said a girl with long dark brown hair and a sweet smile, she was walking toward him.

"Hey Gabriella!" said Troy with a smile. Gabriella sat next to him, her eyes were hooked to him just as my eyes were, so I wasn't the only one who really noticed this Troy Bolton.

"Hey Gabriella, I want you to meet Evelyn, she's new here" he said. I was actually shocked that Troy remembered my name. Gabriella smiled again, and said "Hi! Nice to meet you! I'm Gabriella I was new here too last year, so I know what you're going though, don't be afraid to come to me with anything".

I knew she meant every word unlike the people at my old school, I felt safe already to be here the people here were so nice I still couldn't believe it.

"Thank you, that means a lot to me." I said. I notice Troy still staring at me and smiling.

"I think you're going to like it here Evelyn" he said.

I just smiled at him, I couldn't believe this guy was so… wonderful! At that moment I was glad I came to this school if I didn't I wouldn't have met Troy.

"Yeah I think so too" was all I said before the bell rang and the teacher came walking into the classroom.

Please leave me your comments! Don't be afraid to say what you think! Thank You!
