Alone Ch.3: The New Girl
A/N: Hello again, to all of my faithful readers for checking my story again for the newest installment. One note before you read. To the very polite guest reader who gave his review after the second chapter who probably won't be reading this, let me comment on your feedback. OK. I get it, a marching band isn't in everyone's "groups that are normal and cool to society" list. You obviously don't know the meaning of the word percussionist, so I'll have you know that a percussionist plays anything that can make sound with contact, which, obviously, includes many things. If you would have bothered to give my story a chance for a couple more chapters, you'd see that Humphrey, who is a percussionist, secretly has and plays a drum set, and I wasn't going to be mentioning marching band that much! So thank you for labeling my story "Gaaaaaay". Sorry for the rant, things like that usually don't annoy me but that hit a little closer to home than I thought. Enjoy this next chapter.
Humphrey's POV:
Classes… Classes….. and more classes… Band passed by rather quickly. Everything seemed normal, nothing really exciting happened, but once I stepped into second block, I knew I was swept back with something I never really felt before. I stepped into my death: Sophomore year and I'm already taking dual enrollment classes. The subject: Math. Pre cal/College Algebra….. Fun. I walked in to class and immediately, all eyes were on me. The class was all standing up in the front, probably waiting to be assigned their seats. Half of the people in the class were seniors, and the other half juniors, except me and surprisingly, another girl. Names were being called out and everyone was being directed to their permanent seats. He sent me close to the back. It sucked because I didn't know any of the upperclassmen in the class. I sat down, getting ready to embrace a lonely semester in math. I heard the name of the person stuck in the seat next to me for the rest of the year. The desks were paired in twos. Apparently he has a partner system going on. "Kate Anderson?" Our teacher called out. I never heard that name...
must be a new girl. "You'll be taking the seat next to Mr. Humphrey Evans," our teacher finished. From the huddled group of students, a very beautiful girl stepped out. She was wearing a "Self Titled Life" Paramore T shirt, black jeans, and red converse. She was slightly tan, she had medium length flowing hair, and boy did she take my breath away. Turns out, she was also the other sophomore, which improved any chances I had with her. As she made her way to the seat, some obnoxious asshole whistled his "approval", and other guys were punching me on the shoulder telling me how lucky I was. It was annoying, but true. She took her seat next to me quickly. She apparently didn't like all this attention. I was determined to not be an asshole. I looked to the side as she was putting her things in order, and I noticed an earphone dangling from her neck, and the other in her ear... She's just like me. We both listen to music during passing periods. I really couldn't believe that this girl was sitting next to me. I couldn't wait to meet her. As she turned around, I offered my hand out and put on a smile. "Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm looking forward to this year with you." She gladly took my hand and answered, "Thanks! It's really nice to see a polite face around here." "Really? I mean you seem really nice, who
would want to be mad at you on the first day?" I asked. "Well, you're the first guy I've seen today whose eyes haven't been... well... browsing," she replied. I chuckled a bit. "Yeah, we have some idiots here... I cry to be a part of this generation," I added. She laughed and agreed. I think math class will be just a bit more tolerable this year around...
A/N: Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Sorry for taking so long to update. Like and review, I love your feedback. I might add my favorite reviews and comments before every chapter like Kellylad13. Also, if you have time and want more to read, Kellylad13, one of my favorite authors on this site, has a really cool high school story called "Getting to Know You". I suggest you check it out, it's an amazing story. See you for the next one!
