Clashing force
I pulled into the high school car park. Just breathe I tell myself as I undo my seatbelt and take one last look in the mirror. First day at a new school always hard. I should know that by now. But this year's gonna be even harder because its graduation but I'm determined to get me some trophies! Man, I laugh at my own jokes way too much. I put on my sunglasses and check my hair. Everything is good to go so I grab my bag and climb out the car. The heat in the summer here is immense and I don't look too good burned, it makes my bright red hair stand out even more! See most people say they have red hair but really its orange or ginger, but me? I am just red. There's no other word for hairs probably my only flaw, it's just so big and red and frizzy! I wouldn't call it an afro but it's got so much bounce and curliness and the colour makes it ten times worse. But my paper white skin contemplates it and makes me look a bit like a vampire. If they existed! People stare as I enter the school building but I tell myself its cause I'm so freaking awesome. I've done my research and I am the only Canadian student at McKinley High but they have their fair share of minorities. I've been following two people in particular, they boy, Kurt had been bullied because he was gay and the girl Tina was Asian and they were both in the glee club. Looking at the yearbooks the Glee club wasn't the most popular club in the school. I take a deep breath and push open the doors. The amount of people is astounding! Yes, it's a big school but there's just so many teenagers rushing about the place, people on skateboards and brandishing hockey sticks, others forming little groups and posies. It's easy to tell the popular crowd are the cheerleaders and footballers because if they're not gossiping about other people or chanting and singing songs, they're bullying other student for lunch money or just for fun. As I walk up the hall more and more people stop to stare at the new girl. They can't help it though, my bright red frizzy hair demands attention and unlike most nobody's here, I have a little confidence, and it shows in my walk. I see three cheerleaders eyeing me up and I plan to give them a little smug wave when I go past them, but I realise they're standing right in front of my first class. Oh man, am gonna half to push past them, and fall right into their trap. I put on a big smile and walk up to them.
"hey! Is this Mrs Herds English class? Sorry I'm new here so I don't really know my way around!" I say sucking up to them big time.
"Yeah, it is! I'm Britney and this is Santana she thinks your weird and this is Quinn, she got pregnant and fell to the bottom of the food chain, got to the top again and now she thinks all girls are out to get her top spot. I like your hair though!" the tall blonde says and the other two groan. "Really it's so big and like red?" Britney starts stroking my hair and the bell rings. She waves and the other to scowl and glare as they go into class. Then just as I was about to go into class I see a tall pale boy with short blonde hair staring at me smiling. Smile back and look away to get the hair out of my eye but when I looked round he was right in front of me. I jumped back and nearly fell over my own feet when he caught me and smiled,
"Careful there, you might hurt yourself" he said in a coaxing voice he let go but held out his hand. "Hey, I'm James." He said and I shook his out stretched hand and returned the smile.
"I'm Victoria"
