Chapter 5
The First Day
It was the first day of school. Tessa walked to the front of the building with Chris. They found Teddy talking to Vern and Gordie and Tobii walking towards us.
"Hey." Gordie said to Chris.
"Hey."
"Tessa its your first day here I forgot."
"Yup, I am going to say hi to Teddy who was still talking to Vern.
Tessa ran over to Teddy when his back was turned and gave him a big hug. Her arms were wrapped around his neck.
"Hey Teddy, Hey Vern."
"Hey Tess." They both said at the same time.
"Vern I have to talk to Tessa for a minute."
"I see how it goes, I see, I'll remember that." He chuckled and walked over to Gordie and Chris and Tobii.
"What do you need to talk to me about?"
"Well, umm, here it goes, Tessa will you go out with me?"
"Yea." She through her arms around him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Do you think he proposed?" Tobii asked giggling.
"Yup" Chris said.
Tessa and Teddy walked over to Tobii, Gordie, Vern and Chris.
"I am so excited I can hardly wait!!!" Tessa screeched. She was so nervous that it was making her really jumpy. Then she realized that she literally had every other period with Teddy and she would be fine.
They heard the bell ring and Teddy and Tessa walked into the school. Teddy walked her to her homeroom and then went to his. There were only 5 people in her homeroom.
"Hello to your first day of a new year. I am Miss Emerson. I will take attendance now…Sophia Vani." Sophia was dressed in mostly black, black jeans and a black and pink shirt. She looked like maybe Tobii was friends with her.
"Hey, I am here."
"Thomas Venitia."
"Yo call me Tommy." He didn't appeal to me very much.
"Tessa Walker."
"Here."
"Jonathan Westerman."
"Hi." He looked like a jock, I didn't want to know of the jocks.
"Kayley White."
"Hello."
Homeroom was only 15 minutes long, Tessa then went to her math class. She saw Tobii by the entrance and ran over to her.
"Tobii, he asked me out this morning, I didn't get to see you to tell you."
"Ahh Tessa that's great! When is your next class with him?"
"Next. Then 4th then lunch, then 6th then 8th."
"Wow you have a lot of classes with him."
They went through math and the period was boring as hell. Tessa walked out after math and saw Teddy waiting for her.
"How did you know that I was here?"
"Magic, how do you like the school so far?"
"Good, better now that I am talking to you." Teddy smiled, they were walking to art when a girl stopped them in the hallway. Tessa wasn't all that sure who it was but recognized her.
"Is this your new whore?"
"What the hell are you talking about Paige? You have a new fucker every week, who is it this week, still Ace or have you moved on to a new one night stand." Tessa now knew who it was. It was the girl at her house on Saturday.
She pointed at Tessa, "This guy is an ass so watch out for him." Paige said as if trying to warn her.
"C'mon Tess, we will be late to class."
They walked away toward their class.
"What is up her ass?"
"You know she is part of Ace's group now, she is a year older and that was my ex-girlfriend. She used to be so nice. But that's over now and I love you now." He gave her a kiss on the cheek. Tessa smiled and they walked into their next class. They found a seat and it was the same boringness as the math class. They talked for the majority of the class.
Tessa got through the 3rd period with Gordie and Chris. She walked over to her next class and saw Teddy talking to three guys, one was Vern and she didn't know the other two. One of the guys had blond hair and blue eyes, the other one had brown hair and brown eyes, the average guys. Teddy's back was turned to her.
"Who is that?" The blond haired guy said to the group.
They all turned around and looked at Tessa. Vern and Teddy just looked at each other. Teddy motioned her over.
"She is pretty." The other one said.
"Sure as hell she is." Teddy said back to them, "Come here." Teddy said to Tessa.
She walked over.
"Kyle, Jeremy, this is my girlfriend Tessa."
"Hey." They both said.
"Tessa this is Kyle," He pointed to the blond one, "And Jeremy." Pointing to the brown haired one.
"Hello." She smiled and then sat down in front of Teddy. Teddy played with her hair through out the whole period. The period ended, it was lunch. Teddy and Tessa and Vern walked to lunch. Tessa saw Tobii and ran over to her. Teddy followed.
"Hey girl, how was your first half of your first day of school?"
"Pretty good, I haven't really met anyone besides two guys Teddy introduced me to."
"Well then I am going to introduce you to someone you will like."
Tobii pulled Tessa up and dragged her to the next table, there was a girl sitting there. Tessa recognized her as the girl she knew was Tobii's friend in homeroom.
"Tessa, this is Sophie."
"Hey, what she said I am Sophie."
"You are in my homeroom right?"
"Oh yea."
"You are with Teddy right?"
"Yea how did you know?"
"Well you walked in holding hands."
"Oh right, sorry don't mind my slowness."
Teddy walked over from talking to Chris. He sat down next to Tessa and was holding her. Chris followed with Gordie. Gordie sat down next to Tobii.
"Does any one have any plans on Halloween?" Teddy asked everybody.
"No"
"Good don't make any, I am having a party and you are all invited."
Chris was giving Sophie the eye, they all knew that he liked her.
They talked all through lunch and Chris inched closer to Sophie through the period. The bell rang. Teddy walked with Tessa to their next class and then they got through that and the next period. Then it was 8th period was a study hall. They walked in and saw Sophie. They sat next to her.
"Sophie do you like Chris?" Tessa said taking them by such surprise
"Well I do a little. Why?"
"Well because its really obvious that he likes you. If he asked you out you would say yes right."
"Of course, have you taken one look at that guy."
"Tessa, why do u care?" Teddy asked a little concerned
"Well I wanted to know because I don't think that I can stand to be near him if he keeps up what he is doing now, 'Tessa, Sophie is so pretty, she is so nice and sweet, I want her ot have my babies,'"
"Oh dear god."
They three of them burst into laughter. Then they got in trouble with the teacher. The period ended and Chris came by and we left to go home. We were a good distance from the school when we started to talk.
"Tessa, did you by any chance get Sophie's phone number?"
"Maybe, tell me why first."
"Well I was thinking of calling her and asking her out, if you must know."
"Well if you must know the number is 387- 1923."
"Thanks."
They walked up in front of each of their houses and Tessa wrote in her diary.
Dear Diary,
Hey the first day of school was great. Teddy asked me out and now I have him all to my self. He's such a sweetie, he walked me to a couple of classes. Chris is going to ask this girl Sophie out. She is really nice. I think that we could be friends. I met Teddy's infamous ex and she is a bitch like you don't know. She is going out with Ace. I like my lunch and 8th period the best, they are so much fun. Well I have some work to do… already that's not cool!
