Emily looked up at the huge building before her. 'This is a school?' she thought incredulously. She dropped her gaze and looked around, two more buildings surrounding the one in front of her. Searching for a friendly face so she could ask directions to the office, her eyes landed on a cheerful looking Asian girl. She decided to go ask her.
"Um…hello?" she said. If it were possible the smile on her face brightened more, "Well Hello there, I am guessing you're a new student. I am too! Nice to meet you, I'm Mia!" Emily couldn't help but smile at her….. "Yes, I'm new here and my name's Emily. Nice to meet you too!" "I'm guessing you're looking for the office, right? I'm heading that way, let's go!" said Mia, taking Emily's hand and dragging her into the huge building.
Emily did not question how Mia guessed she was a new student, she simply let her lead her. She looked at the students around her. They all seemed so rich and…. haughty too. Each of them seemed to exude raw confidence and power. She unconsciously lowered her gaze. She didn't think she would fit in here. At all. The thought depressed her a little, not because she thrived on attention. Far from it actually, she shied away from any kind of attention… But having a few friends would be nice. Especially now, especially here…
"We're here!" exclaimed Mia, grinning. Emily jumped a little in surprise and a small smile made it's way onto her face. 'Maybe it won't be so bad here' she thought.
As Mia and Emily came out of the office with their curriculum, Mia bumped into someone and fell down. Emily helped her up and turned to the person who crashed into Mia. She had to raise her head to make eye-contact. Her breath hitched and gaped a little as she looked at the most beautiful green eyes she had ever seen. They seemed to shine!
"Uhm….Hey, I'm sorry. You okay?" asked the guy with the gorgeous green eyes, looking at Mia. Emily, blushed and then turned to Mia, concern lacing her voice as she asked, "Yeah, are you okay?" Smiling Mia said, "Of course! No need to apologise." Green Eyes smiled (which made Emily's knees go weak) at Mia and made his way into the office.
As soon as he was out of sight, Mia turned to Emily and spoke, "Someone has a crush, huh?" To her credit, Emily did not blush (a lot) and replied, "What are you talking about?" Mia giggled at her and said, "Whatever you say! Although I have to admit, he's pretty hot!" Emily couldn't help but nod at that making Mia giggle more. Emily wanted to hit her head somewhere.
Emily waved to Mia as she went to her own class. Sighing a little, she opened the door to her advanced chemistry classroom. She chose to sit somewhere in the middle. She looked around the classroom. Seated at the very front were two boys who looked as if their hands were stuck to the book. Then there were two girls who blabbering on about something Emily could care less about. After them she was seated in the middle and there were two benches behind her. On her left side, al the benches were empty. With nothing to do, she took out this book she was dying to read and opened it. After all there were 10 minutes left for class.
She heard the chair beside her move as she flipped a page. She turned to see Mr. Gorgeous green eyes again! She offered him a smile which he returned. Emily, trying very hard not to faint from sensory overload as she saw his smile, said, "Hello, I'm Emily!" "Name's Mike." Said . Emily inwardly repeated the name over and over again. Just then the door opened in walked a man with a Chemistry textbook.
"Good Morning class, I'm Professor Ji. I'll be your professor for this year. Now get comfortable with your partners for you will be partnered together for the rest of the term." Emily wanted to go hug him. When did she turn so lucky?
Her next two classes went well and Emily's self doubt slowly started to ebb away. Mike was in her second class too which was World History and he decided to sit next to her again! Turns out Mike was asked to join this school because of his excellence in soccer. Emily made a mental note to attend all his games in the future. They chatted away the whole hour(or more like Emily talking away Mike's ear as he made appropriate sounds at the right times) as their teacher failed to make an appearance. Her third class reunited Emily with Mia and her friend from the last two classes, Kevin. Emily found Kevin very pleasant to talk to. And funny. And smart.
At lunch, Emily, Kevin, Mia and to Emily's shock Mike sat together. She had thought with her incessant chattering, she had scared him away for at least the next two years. Kevin and Mike were from the same middle school apparently. Suddenly Mia stood up and started shouting, waving her arms like crazy "Over here! Jayden!" Emily turned to look at the person Mia was shouting at. She saw a tall guy coming their way. Mia jumped at him which made both of them fall.
"I missed you!" said Mia. This made the Jayden guy smirk,"We met yesterday, Mia." Mia stoop up, then extended her hand to help up Jayden. He sat down at the table glancing at Kevin, Mike and her. "Guys, this is Jayden. My best friend." announced Mia. Emily swore she saw a hurt look pass over Jayden's face for the teensiest second. Was something going on here? "Jayden, this is Mike, Kevin and Emily."Mia continued, pointing at each one of them. Jayden nodded towards them and turned back to Mia. Kevin and Mike went back to discussing to whatever they were discussing about before Jayden made his appearance. Feeling left out, Emily started pushing around the food on her plate.
"So, Mia tells me you're new to this city?" Emily looked up to see Jayden's questioning gaze. "Yes." She answered. "Oh, I didn't know that! Funny how you didn't mention that to me when you were rambling in history." Asked Mike. Emily blushed, "I guessed it slipped my mind." Mike laughed at this, making Emily blush an even darker shade of red. Mia giggled and Emily glared at her.
Emily stared at her Math homework and sighed. Who gives Homework on the first day, damn it? Her thoughts wandered to lunch today and she felt the warmth spreading throughout her body as she remembered Mike and her friends… She didn't know why but she felt as if she had gained true friends today. She figured her high school life would not be bad if not great with her four new friends. If only she had an idea of the forthcoming events, Emily would have hit her head somewhere for thinking so.
A/N- This is my first attempt at PRS fanfiction. This chapter may seem brief and hurried but this is just a prologue of sorts. And I have to mention that this is in a high school setting, making it totally AU. This was a request from my Best friend. Pairings may change except Jemily... This is not a fic where Jayden and Emily fall in love at first sight... Their relationship will grow slowly. Although it may not seem like a Jemily fic in the begining, it is so. Their pairing is set in stone, you can make requests about other Pairings though... Also excuse my english. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm relatively new to this fandom.
Reviews are greatly appreciated... :)
