So I officially start my first day of school today. I don't know why I always feel so nervous I've been to about seven different schools or maybe eight if you count the one I went to for about two weeks, which I really don't. I decided to wear a pair of black jeans with a loose, sheer white blouse and an above the knee loose black cardigan. I revel in the last few sunny days that we have left and once again make a promise to myself that I will one day live somewhere where it does not snow. As soon as I was dressed I went down to the kitchen to get some breakfast. Most of the other girls that also lives in the foster home was already downstairs either getting ready, making breakfast, lounging on the couch or doing whatever it is they plan to do with their days. My foster mother Janet it looks like fell asleep at the kitchen table, again. I don't know who in their right minds would ever allow her and her husband, Eric, to be foster parents. Though they were incompetent, I have to say that they are not the worst foster "parents" I've been with. You have Janet who is a slob and does nothing but stay on the couch and try and swindle us out of any extra money we may have. And has got to be the sleaziest and dirtiest cop I have ever have the chance of meeting. I really think the only reason they are even foster parents is to collect the checks every month. They have yet to spend even a penny of that check on any of us. A few of us have jobs and are able to take care of our selves while the others bum around or depend on the boyfriend of the month to take care of them. I grabbed an apple and out I went to start the first day of my new school.

As I drove into the parking lot of the school I knew in an instant that I was not going to fit in anywhere. I already knew it was a school for rich kids but I had no idea they were this rich. I was driving by Cadillac's and Volvos and some I don't even know but they sure as hell looked expensive. I saw a few people laugh and snicker at Athena, yes I named my car, and why not after the Goddess of war? "it's OK Athena let them laugh away let them underestimate us. We will have the last laugh". Yea I'm acutely aware that I am talking to my car, but I am damn proud of my car. I slaved and saved every penny just for this car. So there is no way in hell I was going to let anyone make me fell ashamed of my baby.

I got out the car and went to the main office and spoke to the lady at the front desk Mrs. ? Honestly I can't even remember her name all I was thinking was that she looks the secretary from Ferris Bueller's Day off. She told me to have a seat and that the principal would see me soon. Which struck me as weird seeing as it's usually the secretary who gives me everything I need and just send me on my way. I waited about 15 minutes before the principal Mr. Lennox was able to see me. And I must say that he looked nothing like I expected a principal to look like. For one he was at least 6 ft. with broad shoulders and blonde hair. He had very chiseled features and piercing grey eyes. When I first walked in he just stared at me looking surprised. "Um hi?" I said after it got a little weird.

"Hi, I'm Mr. Lennox and you must be Alexis grey. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"You too"

"although you are late we're already three weeks into the school year you have a bit of catching up to do."

"Yeah I know I had to get my paperwork in order plus my-"

"Um it's OK," he said silencing me with the wave of a hand he looked on edge, as to why I really don't know. Must be a stressful job.

"Well it's required that all the students that were awarded the scholarship also have to participate in a school club or sport".

Now that was going to be a problem

"The thing is Mr. Lennox, I already have after school job that I really do need,so I really don't have the time to commit to a sport or club although I wish I did". NOT.

"Well..Um yes. I'm sure we can work something out. A few of our kids here do have jobs which exempt them from certain extracurricular activities. Yes we can work around it. But I will need proof of said job."

He continued to give me the speech that Mrs. Beck gave about requirements and staying in school yada yada yada. He then proceeded to hand me textbooks for all my classes which weighted a ton and half. I dropped the books off at my car, after a few rest stops of course. Those books were too damn heavy, just in time for the bell to ring signaling it was time for my fourth period class.

With the school map I found the class without getting lost. I immediately went to sit at the back of the class. I hated the whole introduction of the new student thing it's overrated, hopefully I'll be here for the rest of the year and they will eventually learn my name. some guy glared at me when he saw me sitting there I suppose this was probably his seat but oh well, he'll live. I waited and took notes all while keeping my head down. I waited until till the class was over before I decided to let the teacher, Mr. Call know that he in fact had a new student in his class, I waited until the rest of the class filed out, and boy am I glad I did, because nothing could have prepared me for the sight that was my English teacher, Mr. Call.

I knew I was staring but I couldn't stop and I knew I should but I could not take my eyes off those deep chocolate brown eyes that made you think of warm and sunny days, I could get lost in those eyes forever. And tall, he was freakishly tall but it looked good on him plus he had muscles that didn't make him look lanky. He was muscular but not in a meat head I'm on steroids sort of way and you could see the outline of those muscles, even though he was wearing a white long sleeve button up shirt. And Even though I was sure that I was making it up I could have sworn that he was just as mesmerized I was.

"I don't think we've met. I'm Call, I mean Embry, yes Embry Call but everyone just calls me Mr. Call."

He said while holding his hand out for me to take. I took his hand all while still staring into his eyes. His hands were warm, too warm, but in a good way like the type of warm you want to feel after coming in from the cold.

"I know" I replied

"And you are? I don't think I've seen you in this class before."

"I'm Alexis Grey or you can just call me lexi."

It was then that I realized we were still shaking hands and took my hand out of his grasp.

"so what can I do for you today Alexis ?"

"I just wanted to let you know that I am actually here, today is my first day and I didn't want to do the whole class introduction thing so I just figured I'd wait till the end of class"

"yea good thing I definitely would have had you done the whole class introduction thing" he joked

"so I guess I'll just go then" I grudgingly replied while racking my brain as to what else I can say to make me have to prolong leaving this beautiful specimen.
