Chapter Three
I had done my homework when I was walking home so I decided I should finish painting the nursery walls a thick yellow. It looked nice in the room and on my shirt and shoes and hair. Stupid paint. I thought tenth grade might be different because you're not freshmen anymore. It didn't really make a difference at all. I was easily pulling straight A's for first few months. The first day of the second quarter was just the same until fifth period. "Please all welcome Mr. Dent. He is new and I just know you will all make him feel at home and show him around." Mrs. Blank liked to think that everyone was as fruity as she was. FYI we're not. "You can take a seat next to Jamie." I looked up from the doodle I had been concentrating on when I heard my name. She was pointing to the seat next to me and he was gracefully gliding his way down the aisle. He had deep blue eyes with gray tints. It reminded me of the beach when it was raining. His hair had thick golden brown locks that fell just past his ear. His slim muscled body was complimented by the fitted black sweater he was wearing. I glanced back at the front board to see words being jotted down. When I realized it use boring useless information I turned to look at the new boy with the angle like features sitting next to me.
The sound of the bell made me jump. Had I not noticed the hour go by. I was so surprised I didn't realize that he had all ready left. There goes my idea to offer to be his tour guide. I strolled from the class in disappointment. "Is he not the cutest. I wonder where he is from." Casey said catching me just outside the class. Her favorite subject was boys which never surprised me because she has the classic movie star blonde hair, tan skin, cheerleading body and could have any guy she wanted. My long black hair and pixie like body was in no comparison. "You look like an anorexic vampire" my brother had once told me. "I don't know. I guess we will find out soon enough though." I answered her question just a moment later. When I got to science I took my seat next to Johnny and started to copy the notes left on the table for us. "Alright everyone we are going to have new seat assignments" Ms. Madelyn liked the seats to be in alphabetical order. Only a few seconds later he walked in. His white teeth lighted up the room. After the new arrangement was done I sat next to the angel like boy. "I'm Alex" he said looking straight into my almost depressing green eyes. I stared back and my heart went into a frenzy. "Jamie" was all I could force out of my self. I usually have no problem talking to people but just then my mouth became dry and my throat scratchy. The teacher put on a video about black holes. I couldn't help but look at him from the corner of my eye. Yet again the bell took me by surprise. I hurried to the door when someone caught my arm. I turned to motion them away but soon realized who it was. "You left this." He said in a deep but soft voice. "Oh. Thanks so much." "No problem but I could not help but realize that we have almost all the same classes so I thought maybe we could trade numbers." I gave him a somewhat confused look. "For school" he said. "For school" I repeated. He smiled his diamond teeth at me. He then took out his phone and I typed my number in. "I'll call you. You know so you can get mine. Maybe we can even talk a little when I call" he said. "See you tomorrow" I said then I left. If I said no to the number exchange I never would be dealing with the life ending problems I now run from. It is easy to imagine all the things that I should have done. It was hard to do them.
