It was the day. The first day of 11th grade and Amanda… was freaking out. She was zooming all over the house, her hair in curls or straight, or in the pony tail. She didn't know what to do! "Bobby! Bobby! Come on! Don't stink up the bathroom." She giggled.

Bobby smiled and opened the door of the bathroom, seeing the excitement in her eyes. "Hey.." He put his hands on both her arms. "It's alright.. Calm down."

She took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright. Do I look alright? My hair, and, and stuff?" She was hyper, Oh My, very hyper.

"Yes, baby. You look fine." She smiled and rushed back upstairs to get changed.

"Okay, now what do I wear?" She had clothes out everywhere. Skirts, dresses, pants and hats all over the place. "This? No…" She tossed the yellow skirt. "This? No! THIS? No.." She sighed. "Ooh, Ooh! THIS! YES, THIS IS PERFECT.. Oh, snap.. No, it's not." She plopped herself on the bed and gave a huge sigh. She felt something beneath her and she tore it from behind her and it was a red shirt, black lace on the neck. She smiled. "This is good." She reached down and grabbed a pair of black jeans and a black jacket. It was good. She remembered what Bobby said. She's always beautiful. Things like that made her blush like you wouldn't believe.

She put on some black sneakers and made her way downstairs to meet Bobby and Angel at the bottom of the steps. "You look great, girl." Angel smiled, patting her head.

"Hey, hey.. Don't mess up the do." She chuckled.

Angel smiled. "Don't get into any trouble, now.. No cussing out the teachers, not flipping 'em off."

"Aw, but why.. I'll just say I learned it from you." She gave an innocent grin.

All three of them laughed as Bobby led her to the door. "Do you want me to drive you to school, or?"

"No.. I can walk, or.. Take the bus. It'll be fun."

"I don't want you walking just yet, baby doll."

She nodded. "Alright. I'll take the bus." She smiled and turned, walking down the steps of the front porch. She had a little bit of money, so she could get lunch and in her hands she held a notebook and a purple pen. She turned and waved. "See you after school!"

Bobby waved and turned back, closing the door behind him. "Ugh.." He said, sitting himself on the couch. "This is gonna be a really interesting day." He looked over to Angel and laughed.

Amanda slowly walked towards the Bus Stop; her body in racked in complete anxiousness and anticipation. She looked beautiful, yes, but would people like her. She looked up to see a few girls and a few boys standing around at a stop sign. She bit her lip, nervousness running alongside that anticipation.

She walked up and then paused, trying to think of what to say. She seen one of the boys staring at her, and then the rest turned to look at her as well. She was worried at what they were saying and thinking. She turned away as a faint color of pink surfaced on her cheeks.

"Hey." She turned to see one of the boys approaching her. His chestnut brown hair fell into his eyes, but it wasn't too long but it wasn't too short either. He had deep blue eyes. He was tall, and he looked muscular.. Ooh, her kind of man. Oops, I mean..

"Hi." She smiled.

"Are you new here? I didn't see you here last year?"

She bit her lip and nodded.

"I'm Josh." He offered a hand with a bright, warm and welcoming smile.

She looked down and softly shook his hand. "Amanda.. Nice to meet you, Josh."

"I could say the same, Madame." He smirked.

She chuckled, happy that she had met someone new. Maybe they could become friends and maybe, just maybe, she'd really be happy. She turned her head as the bright yellow bus came to the curb.

"Can I sit with you?" Josh asked, bending down to pick up his books.

Amanda gave a little smile doing her best to hide the blush that threatened to surface. "Sure."

When the doors opened, she was the first one on the bus taking the seat a few seats down from the door. She sat by the window and smiled as Josh plopped himself next to her. "So, do you know what you have for first period or anything?"

She shook her head in silence.

"Oh, well.. Have you even really been to this school before?"

Again she shook her head.

Josh smiled. "It's okay. I'll show you around 'til you get the hang of it. Will that be alright? Would you like that?" He asked, looking deep into her blue eyes.

"I'd like that very much, thank you." She smiled brightly a string of hair falling into her eyes.

He hesitated, but he slowly moved it out of her eyes.. She was beautiful. He had never seen anyone with such.. Radiance. It was like her smile was the sun; it gave him light, and he was drawn towards it. He gave a happy sigh, more of relief and turned to face the front.

Amanda turned her head and started to look out the window. They passed by the house and she smiled so brightly. Just wait until they heard of this!
