I felt stupid. It was my first day in this new village and what happens? I GO AND BUMP INTO A RANDOM PERSON! (Who happened to be quite cute) I managed to say sorry to the guy i bumped into but he was busy staring at me. i wasn't used to this. At my old village i got teased for being too smart. That's the thing, I'm too smart, I have to try and keep my thoughts to myself. I hated being boastful and hated always being right. i had never had a boyfriend and as for friends, i had 3 friends at my old village: a cat, a nerdy girl 2 years below me and Katie, a girl who was really smart but didn't act smart in front of everyone else, for reputations sake.
Now that my parents had jobs in this village, I thought, ill never have any friends whatsoever. And all this time that i was thinking this, the cute guy just kept on staring at me. "Uh, are you okay?" I asked the guy. "Um, yeah, yeah, fine" he said to me.
Me, being the shy person I am, didn't introduce myself to him. He stuck out his hand and said "Hi, my name is Jake, what's yours?" I wasn't sure what he wanted me to do with his hand. Normally, in my old village, people only put their hands out for you to kiss. Remembering this, I kissed his hand. "How did you know?" he asked me, with a confused expression on his face. "Know what?" I asked timidly. "Never mind" He said. "By the way, my name is Sofia. I love this new city, Frell its called right?" "Yes" he replied. We stood there, for a while, looking at each other, well, he was looking at me, I was looking at the ground.
Then I had a bad thought. Maybe I had a zit on my face or something wrong with my face. I expected that because why else would he be staring at me? He then seemed to realise that it was a school day so he handed me my book, picked up his bag and held onto my hand as he led me to school. Or should I call it, my doom.
I walked into the school. It was clean, no graffiti, like my old school. There were eyes everywhere, staring at me. I never got any attention at my old village…. Why here?
I looked at what I was wearing: jeans and a black t-shirt. Nothing special. No makeup, no jewellery. Nothing at all. So what was there to stare at? I looked around. There was a teacher smiling at me. She looked like she would be a nice teacher but I never had time to find out because of this guy who was still dragging me through the school. Maybe he is a psychopath…or a maniac. No, maniacs are ugly old guys with humps on their backs and wooden legs and glass eyes. This guy can't be one. And the way he had stared at me…
I tried to get back to the real world. I was in a classroom now. Jake beckoned me over to where he was sitting and I sat down next to him. The teacher introduced me to the class and, this is sad, I got some wolf whistles! I've never had that before!
I sat back down and tried to focus on the lesson. Oh great, geography! My favourite! I was so excited that I didn't feel a hand on my hand. I looked down at my hand and then to the owner. Jake. He had this great smile, nice, straight teeth. Wait a second! surely I cannot be falling for some guy! That means that ill be unfocused on my work. What the heck! Ill give it a go. Starting from today, I was not going to be boring old Sofia Mackdern. I was going to be Sofia Mackdern, coolest and nicest girl in the school, not to mention, having a boyfriend who had a nice smile! First things first: toss your hair. I flipped my hair over to one side and smiled at Jake. Today, it was MY day.
