Jack Brewer POV
CHAPTER 7
It had taken over four hours, but I had finally managed to finish my homework and get up on time this morning with the help of Bella and three mugs of black coffee. I was excited for the new day. My first day at this high school. Bella was bouncing off the walls for the last year of middle school. I packed up, got dressed, and hit the road on my skateboard. Kim met up with me at her house. She grinned, "So, how did your homework go."
I smirked, "I finished it. You are now officially signing up for tryouts."
Kim looked at me skeptically, "Whoa, hold it. You mean you finished all of your homework last night?"
"Yep, and I will prove it after we get to school. You can deliver all of my homework with me."
"Fine, I'll try out, but I swear I won't do very well."
"Come on, I know that you can do well, and I will make sure that you try your hardest and do your best. Anyways, ride with me to school, I'm going to finish your board after practice today if you want come to pick out the sandpaper you can."
Kim smiled genuinely at me, "Thanks Jack. Can I have a ride to school? My parents are both working, and my board's at the shop."
"Of course, and I am so getting that chocolate mint blast."
"You are so not." Kim replied, tossing her hair behind her back. The sun caught it as it flowed freely down her back. She climbed onto my board behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist, "Okay, let's go."
My heart sped up at her touch, but I didn't let it show, "Hold on, this is going to be a bit harder than usual." I pushed off. It took a bit more effort, but we still made it to school on time. She hopped off of the board and waved a goodbye before heading off to class while I headed towards the front desk. I got my schedule and left for my first class, biology. When I got to the classroom, all eyes turned to me except for a girl in the middle row, when she looked up, she grinned at me and waved me over to the seat next to her. It was Kim.
Kim leaned over, "Nice to see you here. This class is way boring."
I whispered back, "Why is everyone staring?"
She gave a small smirk, "First of all, you're new, and all of the girls will be all over you, promise. Second of all, not one ever talks to me, so this is something new."
I beamed, "Well that's great! Handshake?"
Kim laughed, "Handshake." We did our crazy handshake, and then sat back and waited for the teacher, Ms. Alder. People were still staring at us. Kim leaned over again, "So, who's showing you around school? Probably Milton."
I looked down at my sheet of paper, "Yeah, Milton. Why? Is he the perfect student or something?"
Kim nodded, "Yeah, the school nerd. But he actually is pretty nice. He has his own band of outcasts." She gestured with her chin towards the door, "You see the skinny redhead over there? That's him."
Milton walked over to me, "Hello, are you Jack? I am supposed to show you around today between each of your classes. Well, I will be heading off to my next class: AP chemistry! I'll see you when class ends." He waved bye and headed back out of the door.
Kim snorted, "You had better move your mouth faster if you want to get a word in. He sure likes to get to his point fast."
I laughed with her, "This is pretty cool. I'm at a new school and already have an awesome friend. By the way, who's part of Milton's band of outcasts?"
"Jerry and Eddie. Jerry is the Latino with an obsession with dancing and hot girls, plus he's also failing PE and has repeated a whole bunch of grades, and Eddie is...Eddie. Cello player, Dancer-"
"Whoa, what? He dances?" I cut her off and looked at the chubby African-American from across the room.
"Yeah," Kim sighed, "Mrs. Mambo's dance academy. He really hates it."
I suddenly whipped around to face Kim, "Do kids pick on Milton?"
"Yeah, sometimes. Why?" She glanced at me quizzically before she realized what I meant, "I see. Now how are we going to convince them? Oh wait I see again, this should help Jerry with PE, people will stop picking on Milton, and hopefully Eddie can quit dancing."
I stole a look at Eddie, "I still don't see how he can dance, because seriously, he does not have the body for it." Kim giggled and I nudged her, "Ms. Alder is here."
Kim leaned back in her chair and pressed her lips together, trying to suppress her giggles. I watched as her shoulders shook with laughter and she chewed on the end of her pencil to distract herself. She looked at me for a second and our eyes met. As I stared into her hazel eyes I felt my cheeks flame and I looked away for the rest of class.
