Love Is A Psychological Battle

Chapters will generally be short, but I'm looking at posting everyday if I can...

Alice and I pick up our schedules from the school office and compare them. Glancing back and forth over both our schedules, we're relieved to find we're in the same classes as each other once again.

Since we're seniors this year at Forks High, the schedules consist of more free periods than lessons. It's a win, win situation really.

Alice loops her arm through mine and we head in the direction of our first class, Psychology. "Last year," Alice sighs contently. "Looking forward to getting out of Forks?" She turns her blue eyes on me, waiting for my reply.

I nod, "Hell yeah! There's more to life than Forks and I plan to venture out and find out," I grin at the thought.

Alice giggles, "I knew you'd say that! So I was thinking, why don't you and I live together once we get out of this dump...what'ya say?"

I smile, definitely liking her idea. Alice and I have been best friends since I moved here eight years ago. I've been through some difficult shit over the last few years and Alice has been my rock throughout it.

I know I wouldn't survive without her so I guess you could say it's already settled, Alice and I will live together. "What about College?"

"We'll apply for the same Colleges and which ever we both get accepted in to, we'll head on over there. I mean it's not like we're fussy over a particular college, we just want to get out of here," She explained and I nodded in agreement.

Before stepping in to the class, I sighed deeply. 'I'll have to run it past mum first,"

Alice frowned, "Good luck with that," She muttered and we both headed in.

In a red marker on the white board are the words, 'Who are we?' I nod to myself, this should be good...

The bell rang, sending us both to our seats at our shared table. Like the year before, we had the same teacher, Mr Molina and the same classmates. So everyone sat in the same seats as they had done in the past.

Mr Molina walked in carrying a stack of papers. I felt Alice kick me under the desk and I turned to her. "What is it?" I whispered.

She jerked her head towards the desk at the front, left side.

Slouched back is a mess of bronze hair, holding a steady gaze straight ahead. His eyes weren't focused on the board, but seemed to be lost in thought. Must be the new kid...

As if he could feel my eyes on the back of his head, he turned his head, green eyes stared my way before turning back to the front.

The way he was looking at me left an unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach for some reason.

I looked to Alice who felt equally bewildered as I did. What was that about?

I said a quick hello to Angela and Jessica who quickly rushed in to the room, before Mr Molina began the lesson. My eyes darted once more to the new kid, before I focused my attention on Mr Molina.
