2:00 pm
Last class. I am so tiered. The day was long and boring so far. I am just walking into Math. One of my worst subjects. I am so happy I do not have Geo or History. They are my worst all together.
I walked into class 156 and showed Tomas my slip showing that I was new. He showed me to a seat beside a guy with a table all to himself. "You can sit next to Jeff, Charlene." Mr. Baker was the first teacher who called me by my first name. finally a normal teacher. I am not saying I do not like being called Miss Tomas its just that it gets annoying after a while. It makes me feel old.
Walking over to my new seat I was thinking of my day. I already have two new welcoming friends. Dana was really nice. The shy type I can tell. We were going to be best friends. Well we practically were already. Then there was Samantha. I could tell she was the type to gossip and all that. At Tomas High there were lots who gossip. My friends were some but I just took it all in and ignored it. I can tell Samantha and I were not going to be as close. But we still were-
"Hello. My name is Jeff. You must be Charlene." Jeff said as I sat down. Also interrupting my thoughts. I don't really like it when that happens. My mom did it last year. This morning Mark did it and now Jeff.
"Yeah. I guess I am the gossip of the school. The new girl is finally here." I said looking at Jeff for the first time. My jaw almost fell open right there. Jeff was really cute. Longish brownish blondish hair. Curious brown eyes. He was fine. He smiled and my, my. That is one of the best smiles I have ever seen.
I then noticed why he was smiling. My face must have gone numb because suddenly I felt my cheeks get hot. Great. How long have I been blushing. But could I help myself? No. I smiled back. It was the only thing I could do. What else could I do? He was just plain-
"You have a mighty fine smile there." he said in what I thought was a Texas accent. My cheeks got more hot. More blushing. Great. He will know I like him in mighty seconds.
I could not pay attention all math class. Just watching him through my bangs. Blushing the whole time. The bell rang and I got up from my seat.
"Do you mind if I walk you to your locker?" Jeff asked right in front of me. What do I say? Sorry but I do not have a locker yet. I am getting one tomorrow. Well duh. That is exatly what I said. He smiled and walked away. I then knew that I would LOVE it her.
