I pull a brush through my hair trying to get the knots out but end up just pulling out clumps of hair , I sigh frustrated and decide to leave it. I quickly put on my black sneakers and look around the lounge room for my school bag, but I know that there is only one person it would be with "Jeremy where did you hide my bag?" I call out angrily to my annoying 6 year old brother , I can hear him giggling in my room so I quickly run in and see him sitting on my bed eating my lunch "Jeremy! That was my lunch for today!" I yell at him, he grins and takes another big bite of my sandwich, crumbs falling down onto my bed."Erg are you serious?" I pull my wallet out of my draw and grab a handful of change, frowning at the thought of buying the disgusting food from the canteen. I quickly grab my bag off Jeremy and walk out the door "Bye loser!" I hear him yell from inside. I roll my eyes and put in my earphones scrolling to my favourite song i walk down the street towards school.

I get to school late after the bell rings, so I rush down the halls to my roll call. I quickly walk into the room but our teacher Mrs Hummel turns around. Mrs Hummel was tall and thin, she often wore classes that made her eyes look much bigger and had her thin black her tied up in a bun, personally she reminded me of a skeleton "Your late Lindsay" She tells me angrily "Sorry miss" I mumble taking a seat in the very back next to my best friend Jordan "Your late Lindsay" Jordan says mocking the teacher "Shush!" I say giggling, I look up to make sure the teacher didn't hear, not that Jordan would have cared if she did. "So what's wrong?" Jordan asks brushing some of her long blonde hair behind her ear. Jordan could always tell when I was mad or upset, she knew me better than anyone. I sighed "Just a bad day" I say shaking my head. "It will get better" She tells me, I nod "I hope so" I say looking out the window. Turning around I open my mouth to ask her something but the sound of the sound of the bell interrupts me, we stand up and walk out of the class room "What class do I have now?" I ask her, she looks up thinking "I'm pretty sure you have science" She tells me. I frown sadly because science was the only class I had no one to talk to. "Oh great" I say sarcastically, Jordan laughs "It'll be fine" She tells me walking in the other direction "See you later!" She calls out.

I walk into my science class, taking my usual seat in the back by myself. I pull out my science book from my bag and go to the back off the book. Pulling out my black pen I begin to randomly doodle butterflies and dragons, ignoring what the teacher is scribbling until something catches my attention. The door opens, I gaze as the tall cute boy with dark brown hair and a green tee-shirt walks in the room holding a pile of books grinning. "Oh you must be the new student" The teacher says to the boy "Take a seat anywhere" He says before turning back to the board. Toby walks over and sits in the seat next to me, I look down shyly "Hey how's it going, I'm Toby Turner" He says to me, I look up and smile "Lindsay Williams" I tell him, He grins at me "I like your hair" He points to my bright orange hair "Oh, Thanks" I reply, my heart beating fast, scared I was going to say something stupid "It took me ages to dye, it looked better before now it kind of looks a little dull…" I say, he smiles and shakes his head "No! It looks great, I really like it!" He tells me enthusiastically "Hahaha thanks" I tell him blushing I quickly look down and continue my drawing.

I practically run out of class to the canteen, pulling out my phone I text Jordan. Where are you?. I text her standing in the crowded canteen looking for her, my phone immediately vibrates and I look at the text she has sent back. Just got out of class, on my way to the canteen. I sigh frustrated, impatiently wanting to tell her all about Toby. I sit down at a random table waiting for Jordan to get here, I scan around the canteen but I suddenly see a bright green shirt and dark brown hair. Looking over at Toby and I grin stupidly, he sits down at a table on the other side of the canteen by himself and pulls out his iPhone. I sigh, smiling and watch him. I cross my arms and lean onto the table gazing at the adorable man sitting across the room. He pulls out his phone and beings talking to it loudly, I giggle and watch him, wondering who he is talking to. "What's got into you!" I hear behind me, I turn around and see Jordan standing behind me laughing, "Huh?" I ask smiling, still thinking about Toby, Jordan sits down next to me. "He is so cute" I tell her smiling, Jordan looks at me confused "What are you talking about?" She asks me laughing, I look over at Toby and she follows my gaze "Who is he?"She asks me looking at him, "Toby" I tell her grinning we quickly sit up and I look at her "I call dibs on him!" I say as fast as I can, I smile happy that I said it before her, she looks at me "What, no, you can't, arg!" She replies, I grin and she looks over to him. "Go talk to him" I shake my head "No way" I tell her, feeling a rush of shyness, Jordan smiles and pulls me up out of my seat, dragging me across the canteen. We stand behind Toby staring at the back of his head.
"You can do this" Jordan whispers, I shake my head "Nope, Nope, I can't do this, Ill act like an idiot and embarrass myself" I tell her quietly trying to walk away, She grabs me and pulls me back next to her "You called dibs on him remember" She whispers, pushing me over to the table I stumble and begin to fall, I quickly reach out to stop myself from falling and my hand goes straight into Toby's mashed potatoes. He looks up shocked and confused "Oh I'm so sorry!" I tell him embarrassed, he laughs loudly "It's nice to see you again" He says I blush "I'm so sorry I say, he reaches over and picks up a napkin and wipes potato off my hand "It's fine! Don't worry about it" I feel my face go hot and red. "Nice seeing you" I tell him running away embarrassed towards Jordan leaning against the wall laughing "That was so funny!" She says laughing loudly, I frown at her "Shut up" I tell her, embarrassed.
