Chapter 2
I was standing in front of the Marrie high-school. The school was busy and so full of life. Last year of school so everybody is full of life. I went to main office without my cousins. I knew they were likely to avoid me. They didn't want anybody to know that I live with them but it's hard to avoid. But I try to make it easy for them. I took AP English, Biology and Chemistry. I have math after my English and Spanish after chemistry. I am still not sure what I want to become but that's for later. Right know I want to focus on school. My first class was AP English is in room 501. I turned to go when I bumped into a large, tall, masculine and hard body.
I stumbled and fell into the ground. When I looked up the first thing I noticed is the pair of the green eyes. Eyes like I have never seen before. His face was angelic even though I didn't know what an angle looked like. Suddenly I got the vive of bad boy all around him. He is dressed in all black and had a face set in blank expression. He gave me a cold death stare. As if expecting me to make a scene and dared me to stand up so that he could show how evil is he. But no, thank you. I didn't want anything going wrong in the first day of my school.
So not create a scene, I took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry," I said. His expression didn't change.
He said, "You should be". And then with that rude comment he left leaving me exasperated. I stood up and turned to go to my class. It was okay. I never expected anything from anybody, so there was nothing to be sad about. But something about his eyes kept tugging me. They made me want to go and comfort him until the cold and blank face would turn to happy one.
I shook my head. No, I can't get involve. I am going to finish school and go away for college. That's my goal of life.
I walked toward my class. When I entered the first thing I noticed is that guy. I knew I was staring but couldn't seem to look away. I went to the front sit away from him as far as possible. Neither Geneva nor Andres was in my class which was a relief. No drama at first class.
The English teacher Mr. Fitzrpatterson was only interested in anything related to English, nothing else. So he didn't make me the new girl or anything. Just went with the lesson. I was happy that my first day is turning much better than I thought.
The guy I bumped into is also in my Math class but not in biology. I thanked God because I wouldn't be able to notice anyone else if he is in all of my classes. But then I asked myself not to be happy otherwise I will jinx myself. Not that I believed in those things.
When I walked myself into the Chemistry lab I became sure that I've indeed jinx myself. There he was sitting there not bothering about the world. At time like this I wish Sam Roxton was here. He was my only friend in junior school. But left him to move in with the Morris family in California. I miss him very much now. If he was here he would be able to break me free from this mess.
I avoided him and set far away from him again. Mrs. Hannah, our chemistry teacher was young and very beautiful.
"Welcome everyone. I hope the vacation was enjoyable. Today I'm going to divide you into groups for your chemistry projects and lab. Just because today is the first day of school doesn't mean that no works today." She said. I was worried. I didn't know anyone to become partners. But then she solved my problem.
"All of you write your name in a piece of paper and put them in these bowl. I would call out the girls name and boys. And according to that you've to become partners for the rest of the year", she said.
All of us wrote our name and put the names into those bowls. One by one she called names. Some were happy with their partners and some were not. Soon it came to my turn.
"Jael Davis", she said with raised eyebrows. then she asked me," New girls?" and I nodded. She smiled at me and went to pick-out my partners name.
"Gabriel Bearegard", She said and the guy stood up. OH MY GOD! This is not happening. Not the guy I bumped into the first day of my school. His face didn't change. It was as impassive as ever. He only nodded and moved toward me and we went sat in our sitting place together.
So the guy I bumped in to was Gabriel and both of us are partners. Maybe there is a hope that he didn't remember me or the morning incident.
"Now I know many of you may know each other or don't. and to work as partners you need to know each other. So you guys have to interview each other about whatever it may be",she said. I can't help but notice the raised brow of Gabriel at her words. " and before 10 minutes the class is over we are going to talk about it".
When none of us made a move. She said," Get started NOW."
