-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here I am, at Belleview High School, feeling a little bit at "home". I got up this morning feeling really excited, that is something really weird. I prayed so hard to be feeling like this, and forget about… everything else. I'm coming across the parking lot, seeing a lot of new faces around, but a lot of them as well, are knew faces. Eric and Craig came to me and told me some encouraging words, like: "Don't worry Josh, you'll be fine", "Mindy would be really pleased if you make it today and the rest of the year". Some of them helped me, but I have to do it by my own. Then Ms. Haffer came to me and did the same. She was being nice to me, and I know she didn't like Mindy. Drake was being a little more supportive, but when we got to school, he started to recover his "social life". So I am on my own right now, but that doesn't bother me anymore. I get my schedule, and opened my locker. Just when I'm walking to class with my eyes on my feet, I beat on something. I looked down at the girl I knocked down. She seems new, I have never seen her here. She has middle-neck length hair, black and beautiful. Her skin is so white and clear. She's like my height, thin but toned, so I think she's the athletic type. She has a bang that covers part of her forehead and she has hazel eyes. She is wearing black converse, dark blue jeans, a black Request shirt and a dark green coat. She is so beautiful, and totally my type. She shouldn't be good enough for the other guys, but she is perfect for me. Just when I am staring at her, she snaps me out of my trance.
"Hey, I'm so sorry. I'm new here, and I was looking at my schedule so I didn't see you." Her voice is so beautiful, I could hear her forever. I help her up and hand her books to her.
"No, it's my fault, I didn't see you either. My name is Josh." I'm smiling but my voice is shaking from the nerves.
"It's nice to meet you, Josh. I'm Anneliese." She says with a shrug. It reveals her smile. Is so beautiful that even made me smile too.
"That's a beautiful name. What class do you have?" The bell hasn't ring yet, but we are almost the only ones in the hallway.
"I have English, what about you?" Haha. Point for me. I hold out my arm and ask her
"I have English too, may I walk you?" She giggles and holds out her arm and tangles it with mine.
At class, we had the chance of sitting together; she is so intelligent and responsible. She took notes about everything and pays attention even more than I do. She distracts me so much that half hour all I did was stare at her. We walked to our different classes later. When lunch time came, I brought an apple, a salad and an orange juice. I come to my current table, where Eric, Craig and a new guy named Donovan are sitting. Just when I'm eating, I saw that Anneliese is looking for a table. I call her name, and when she sees me, she flashes me that smile that makes me feel alive again. Not to sound corny. She comes to our table and sits down right next to me.
"Well, guys, this is Anneliese, she is new here. Anneliese, these are Eric, Craig and Donovan." I introduce my friends.
"Hello" They say at the same time. Eric looks at her curiously and asks.
"Where are you from?"
"I'm from Germany, but my family moved out of there this summer." She says smiling.
"Tell us more details about you." Donovan asks, seeming really interested in Anneliese family.
"Well, my parents are really catholic; I was raised with that basement. My dad is Joseph Michel, he is a lawyer and has a fabric in Baviera, the district where we used to live. My mom is Anna and she is really caring about me and my sisters. She and my father always told us to live according to God's disposition. They always told us that this is the way to be happy, and they are right. We leave Baviera because of our parents will. They were concerned about some subjects there, so we moved here. I didn't care too much about it because I am predisposed to be sick, but moving here had make me feel a lot better. I thing is the surroundings. I have 3 little sisters: Sarah, Jane and Diane."
"Wow." That's all I could say. That was really interesting, and made me understand some other things about her. Before I could still thinking, she says:
"Yeah, but I am really grateful about it. My parents are my role models; they have made me the person I am." With that, I remember about my mom and my dad. I hope I could think about them as role models too.
"Yeah, when your parents think about you, all their decisions are based in your happiness." Craig added. The others nodded in agreement, including me.
"Changing the subject, have you choose the clubs you are going to join?" Anneliese pointed out. I haven't thought about it, you know? I think I'll go with the usual.
"I'm going to join Ecology, Dispute, Photography, Drama…" I started. Craig and Eric agreed.
"Yeah, us too. We always join the same clubs." Eric explained.
"I always liked to play instruments, I play piano and guitar." She said. She was so talented, sweet, smart… Oh my God, what's wrong with me?
"Then you should join school Symphonic Band, they are really good and welcoming." Craig said. The rest of us nod our heads in agreement.
"Yeah, I should." She said smiling but looking down at her food. She was almost done. We kept talking about school in general, and I was getting more and more into this girl. Her desires of living are so contagious that they get to me. I never thought I could long for living normally and happily again. But she makes me want this. Before I could even solve what was happening to me, the lunch time was over. We told her goodbye and continued with our classes. At the end of the school, Anneliese walked to me at the parking lot, smiling at me.
"Josh, I was wondering about something." She said, but she wasn't nervous at all.
"Sure, you can tell me." I tell her reassuringly.
"Would you like to go to the carnival of the Ecology Society of the school at Saturday?" She tells me while handling me a poster. It was to collect money.
"Sure, would you come with me?" She smiles even wider and hugs me.
"Thanks so much Josh is so easy to talk to you" She said in a cheerful tone and pulls back. I watch her as she get lost in the waves of students that are exiting the school. But a voice snaps me out of my staring.
"Who is she?" I look to my right and see Drake looking at me with a questioningly look.
"She is new, her name is Anneliese." And she is perfect, I say in my mind.
"So, you like her." He says with a happy, but small smile tugging on his lips.
"What???? Nooo, she's just my new friend. Only a few people besides me and the guys had known her this far." He gives me knowingly look before adding.
"You guys have a date, I'm proud of you." She pats my back and before I could think in anything else, I realize that ME AND ANNELIESE ARE GOING TOGETHER TO THE CARNIVAL!!! My head is screaming and yelling with joy, but as I drive to my house, I accept the fact that I am falling for Anneliese Michel, and falling hard. It's exciting, but it scares me to death.
