Troublemaker

That was a nice way to start off my day, I thought. I definitely want to see him again. Usually guys don't take too much interest in me. I've had a couple of boyfriends here and there; okay maybe guys did take an interest in me. I really didn't think I was really pretty though. I just made the guys laugh.

Whatever, I have to start thinking about getting to class on time. Okay so I need to go to the office first. I looked around and there were no signs with arrows saying 'This Way To The Office' so I guess I would have to ask somebody. I hate talking to people randomly or asking directions, I'm kind of independent. Oh well, let's just go to my locker first.

I went down a hallway looking at the numbers on the lockers, finally H301. I put in my combo and it didn't unlock. "Urg," I said. I did it again and it didn't budge. I felt a poke on my shoulder. I looked up to see a girl of African-American ethnicity with short brown hair.

"Do you need any help?" She smiled at me in a friendly way.

"Yeah actually, my locker won't open."

"Oh, are you skipping the second number once?"

"Umm… let me try that." I did as she said and the lock finally came off. "Hey thanks," I said giving her a smile in return.

"No problem. I'm guessing your Emily Hastings, one of the new twins?"

"Yeah, how did you know that?"

"Word travels fast in this small school," then she extended her hand towards me, "I'm Kirsten by the way."

"Oh it's nice to meet you Kirsten," I replied shaking her hand.

"Do you need help finding any classes?"

"Actually I need help finding the office."

"No problem, follow me."

She started to lead me down the hallway and we turned a right and the office was at the end. "Can I see your schedule when you get it? Maybe we have classes together."

"Sure," we headed over to the office receptionist.

"Hello, what may I do for you?"

"Um… I'm Emily Hastings and I'm new here. My mom told me that I was to pick up my schedule here."

"Oh yes," she went into a file cabinet behind her. She started sifting through the papers and picked one out, "Ahh, here we are. Do you need a late pass too? The bell is going to ring any second now."

"Yeah I guess so. Can Kirsten have one too? She was helping me around the school."

"Of course," she started filling out two pieces of paper and then handed them to us, "Here you go. Have a nice first day."

"Thanks," we both said.

We headed out of the office and I gave Kirsten my schedule. She was looking them over. "Good! We have 1st, 3rd, and lunch 5th together." I was relieved just because I didn't have to go to class late alone. "Let's go."

1st period I had English. Oh joy. RINGG. We were almost to the class; well that's what Kirsten told me. I really couldn't tell which way I was going, all the hallways looked alike. We entered 2 minutes late and our teacher, Mr. Vurbarg, looked at us annoyed. We gave him our passes, "Please don't make this a habit of yours ladies. I hate tardiness." We nodded. I looked at the class and they were all staring at me. There were no 2 seats next to each other so I couldn't sit with Kirsten. There was a seat in the far back and one in the front. I started heading towards the back, there was no way I was going to be in the front, "Talk to you later Kirsten," I whispered while she was taking her seat in the front.

I sat down and pulled out a notebook just in case I had to write anything down. I looked to my right and someone was smiling at me. It was Emmett. I smiled back. He pulled out a piece of paper and started writing down something. I started to pay attention to the teacher because maybe he was writing down something important, but the teacher was giving us the syllabus so I guessed not. He threw me a note underhanded. I gave him a glare. He could have just placed the note on my desk. He laughed. I guess he was a troublemaker. I looked down at the note, it read:

Emmett: Late on the first day, Tisk Tisk.

I smiled.

Me: Yeah, well if I didn't bump into a certain someone then I would

have been on time.

I decided to throw it back at him. He smiled.

Emmett:Whoever do you mean?

Me: I don't know, he was HUGE and his eyes were an odd color.

He looked at me with hurt in his eyes. FAKER.

Emmett: ODD? That hurt Emily, that really hurt.

Me: Good, you now know what it feels like because I felt like I hit a wall this morning.

He laughed at the note. "Excuse me Mr. Cullen, do you think something is funny?" Mr. V said in that annoyed tone of his. Emmett was trying to hold back his laughter, "No, nothing at all." He was trying so hard not to laugh, I would be turning red if I was him, but he stayed his pale color. "Good, let's keep it that way." He turned back towards the chalkboard. Emmett threw me back the note again.

Nothing is funny except his face!

I laughed at this and then Mr. V came over. I tried hiding the note in my pocket, but he took it out of my hands before I could. He started to read it and I knew I was going to be in trouble. "Emmett and Emily! Go to the office now!" We both got up and I gave him a glare, but his eyes still had laughter in them.
