Chapter 2: A step you can't take back
I slung my bag on my shoulder as I kept my head down walking through the hallway. It was, full of noise from different students. Hell, I just got past from a group of guys I assume to be the football team shouting about something. I didn't bother to look up to see what it was about. I'm just focused on finding the office to get my schedule and locker. I could feel a bunch of glance and glares as I walk, but I'm too tired to give a shit or two. After the search for the office that felt like forever, I finally got there. I've been here when me and my mom enrolled last Saturday. It's so different in the weekends.
I was welcomed by the too-beautiful-to-be-working-here girl, Maria. I'm guessing she's like in her twenties, or something. She recognized me from our last meeting and gave me a warm smile, which I returned back. I don't want to be mean to the first person who smiled at me today, excluding my mom.
She gave me the papers and I thanked her. I carefully glance at my schedule as I take a sit on the chair in the corner to review the subjects that I'm going to endure for this semester.

I sighed at the last part, I suck at Math. Too bad, there's no choice that you won't take this hellish subject for one semester. It just loves haunting you for the rest of your school days. I love that I have two English, though; it's my favorite subject of all time. And I also guess I have teachers whom I assume are brothers, hence their same last names. I took in a deep breath and checked the number of my new locker. Great, I'll be in another search quest.
I was about to ask Maria, when suddenly a commotion broke from inside a room that has the sign "Principal's Office" on the door. A sound of argument filled the room. I reckoned that was Mr. Levesque and a student, or an employee, whoever that is. We met him and his wife the guidance counselor, Mrs. Levesque, two days ago, and we found him very nice and professional. I and mom even joked about how good he looks with that long hair tied up in a ponytail. I really didn't expect him to be shouting like that. Don't judge a book by its cover indeed.
I can't really hear what they were saying, but the argument was getting tense by the moment. I glanced back at the lady on the desk; she looks like she wasn't hearing anything and just kept on typing on her computer. I guess, it was just another normal day at this office. My eyes darted back at the closed door room and got a little glimpse of who was inside. One shot of a guy seated in front of Mr. Levesque's desk. The ramble continued and I found myself still sitting on the chair, something in me got curious about who was inside. The commotion died a second later when I kind of heard Mr. Levesque said something that made the guy to calm down. The room was silent again and the discussion of the once heated exchange of words disappeared, only Mr. Levesque' voice was now audible.
Suddenly, the entrance door of the whole office opened, a short girl with tan skin with long brunette hair showed and she struggled on holding the door with her back, since she was carrying a huge stack of papers. She managed and approached the desk dropping the papers on Maria's counter desk.
"Ah, there we go. Is Mrs. Levesque in yet?" she asked Maria, still panting. Maria shook her head no and a frown appeared on the girl's face.
"Well, I'll just leave this here, and tell him I am done and cleared." She said. Maria chuckled lightly, "Okay, AJ. Thank you very much."
"Great!" she now smiled clapping her hands as she exclaimed. Her eyes averted to me, curiosity formed on her face and she slightly smiled at me. When I was about to return the smile, the door from the Principal's office opened which got all of our attentions. It was a guy, and his fast movement failed me to see his face. All I saw from him is that he was wearing a dark blue hoodie and jeans and that he had a dark hair with a hint of blond. He headed for the main door and slammed it which made us all flinched from the loud sound.
A sigh from Mr. Levesque followed. He came out of his own office rubbing his temples.
"Maria, sign Mr. Rollins, another detention slip please." his voice displeased. He looked up at us and changed his mood from our presence. He looked at me and quickly recognized, "Ms. Knight! So nice for you to join us today. Welcome!" he said with a smile. Wow, this guy's social ethic is off the hook. "I'm sorry for that light commotion earlier." He added, then continued while glancing at his watch, "You better go to your class, you don't want to be late for your first day, do you?"
"No, sir," I answered with a slight chuckle at the end.
"Good. Ms. Lee here can help you out. She's a fellow sophomore" He said, motioning to the petite girl. "Hey." She said with a smile and a little wave, I finally took back her small smile from earlier and said Hi back.
"Speaking of which. AJ, How are those papers doing?" our ponytailed principal asked.
"Here and done, sir."
"Good. Won't happen again, okay?"
AJ smiles confidently and nodded, then turn her head to me. "Let's go?"
"I'm AJ, by the way." She said, holding her hand out as we walk down the hallway. I took her hand and shook it, "Paige." AJ smiled again hold out her arms presenting the school.
"So, welcome to Ridgewood High! One of the finest public schools in San Francisco, and where you can get in trouble for picking locks on somebody's locker, and trash stuffs in there." She said, enthusiastically.
"Huh?"
"Well I got trouble from it and learned my lesson, not doing it again...soon." I started laughing, and she smiled. "I think you can get trouble for that any where." I commented, and it earned a giggle from her, "Oh, please. Hey by the way, I reckon you're from England?" AJ asked as we finally found my locker.
"I am." I answered trying to enter the combo to my new locker.
"I'm totally in love with your accent! We have like three others here are too. I've always been jealous of having your accent. I've always wished I was born there." I slightly laughed at her and she laughed back. "I'm sorry if I'm being too talkative, I'm known for being like that here." She said sheepishly.
"It's fine." I responded. I don't know why, but I'm feeling kind of comfortable around this girl. Her eyes lit up and a grin formed across her face. "Well I can see a friendship sprouting." I smiled again. I've expected I'll be welcome by the meanest bitch in this place, instead I think I'm just about to be friends with this girl who I can't still put my fingers on.
"Does is hurt?"
"Hurt what?"
She pointed at her own lip, and I quickly got it. She was talking about my lip ring, which both me and my mom got last year. I don't really know what had gone through our heads, but we thought, why the hell not?
I bit my lip ring, playing with it. "No, it doesn't."
We were now ascending up the stairs, and she now started interrogating me about my country, which she claims to really love.
I and AJ finally made to the classroom we both have classes in. As we entered she waved at two people and quickly ran to them, leaving me at the door. A boy who has his hair tied, but a visible bleached blond dye with brown streak which I assumed his roots re-growing, and a girl with short blonde hair, with a pretty face. AJ interrupted their engaged conversation and they smiled at her presence. I was now standing awkwardly with some eyes on me from the other students. I sighed at AJ in disappointment, and started to walk to find a seat for my own when suddenly I heard my name called by her.
"Paige! What are you doing? Come here, I want you to meet these awesome people." She called motioning at the two who was already smiling at me. For a moment there, I thought I was going to be the girl who is used to being alone, just like the girl I'm known for at my old school. I remembered what my mom said earlier, "Good things come when you least expect them, you know?" I walked up to them, deciding not to be that girl I'm used to.
