"Hey dudes, this is Alice. She's new here. She's gonna be my buddy following me and stuff." He declared.
"Devin... Who died and made you the king?" He said.
"Hey, I'm Hayley, and that was Dylan." She explained. I stared at Devin and he looked at me. I looked away.
"Woah! Major hottie you brought for us Devin? He asked. I blushed.
" Hey Mike, your freaking her out." Devin said.
"Uh, I'm fine no worries, really!" I cried. "It's really nice to meet you all."
"Hey Devin, are we going to homeroom yet? I asked.
"Awww, are you trying to ditch me now hun? Mike whined.
"Alice, we'll go in a minute alright and Mike stop it. I mean it." He explained. Mike came closer to me. I looked at him. He winked. I looked away and stared at Devin talking to Dylan, Hayley and some other people. I was grabbed by the arm and then I looked up. It was Devin. He held my hand and kept walking. I kept quiet and then I saw the sign. "Mrs. Meadow" I already knew where we were going to go. He took a seat and I sat right next to him. I felt different around him than the others. Everyone surrounded me. I looked at my shoes and looked back up.
"Alright students, as you know we have a brand new student her name is Alice Crossfiree. She announced. "Please give her some space and welcome her warmly to our school." I gazed at certain objects. I had a habit of doing this. Did you ever have a feeling you were being watched or stared at? Devin was staring at me. I could feel it. He was looking at my eyes. I tried to ignore it. It was actually harder to ignore this. I kept thoughts inside my head to keep pretending that I didn't notice he was staring at me. He smiled that awkward half smile. I liked that. When he smiled I felt awkward. I loved his goofy looking smile though. It made me a bit happier and excited. I turned and then Devin stopped staring and pretended to get something out. I looked at him. I wonder what he was actually thinking. I'm pretty sure it's not about me. I just met him and he's only a friend. I tilted my head at him. He looked at me again.
"What's wrong?" He questioned me.
"Oh, nothing really, I'm just trying to adjust to everything here. I instantly snapped.
"I see." He said. "Can I see your schedule, if you don't mind."
"Huh? Oh, yeah sure." I replied. I gave him the schedule. His eyes skimmed through the light paper and he handed it back to me. He smiled.
"We have the same schedule." He said happily.
"Oh my gosh really?" I screamed. I held my mouth. Everyone started staring at me once again. Today I was definitely the center of attention. Devin started to laugh.
"Am I really that funny?" I asked. "I thought I was boring and dull."
"You're not boring or dull." He said. "You're just funny in your own way." He smiled at me again. This time my heart was like jumping around inside my chest. I never actually felt this way.
