Son of a Squirrel Chapter 2

Aeytru's POV

A text from mom woke me up, and remembered I had school. Great. Somewhere else for judgmental, prissy girls to be scared and label me as that creepy emo chick.

I climbed out of bed, got dressed, and started for the bus stop, putting my iPod on as I walked. By time I got there, I wasn't the only one. A boy with a matching one in a different color smiled at me.

I half smiled back. At least he wasn't prissy and judgmental.

I got on the bus, which was dirty and old, and soon, I saw the school come into view. Getting off the bus, I looked at the campus. It wasn't as nice as the one back in Cali, but hey, I didn't expect it to be.

I went to my first class, and I was the only one there, because I had no one to talk to. Eventually, people came, but gave me looks. I didn't blame them, who transfers in the middle of junior year? Class started, and the day was pretty uneventful, until I got to 4th hour. I was walking by this girl's desk, when I accidentally knocked down her notebook, and stepped on something.

"Watch it, new girl!" She snapped.

I rolled my eyes. The girl squealed. "You stepped on Jeremy's picture!" "Sorry." I said, not really giving a dang. Her and her friends glared at me. "This isn't over, you klutz."

Scoffing, I ignored them. I doubt little miss Blondie and her minions would even want to be near me.

Lunch time came around, and I had to put my stuff in my locker. Suddenly, at the top of the steps, a hot pink flat shot out in front of me. "Oops." A familiar, girly, grating voice said. I tripped, and fell down the stairs.

Oww… I could already feel the bruises, and my head started to ache. I was having a bad day, and didn't feel like getting up at all…until someone spoke to me.

"Pink iPod girl?" I lifted my head up. It was the dude from my bus! "Blue iPod guy?" He laughed. "That would be me! And I think this is yours…" He helped me up, and handed me my notebook decorated with Emery, Thrice, and Placebo lyrics.

"Thanks." "No problem. You okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Good. So I bet you're late to your next class, huh? I can walk you there, you know, 'cause you're new and everything…"

"I have lunch, I think." "Awesome! So do I, you wanna sit with me and my friends? They won't mind, they're already waiting for me." I smiled. "Sure. I'm Aeytru, by the way." He smiled back.

"I'm Asher." He laughed, as I tossed my notebook in my locker. "It's funny, we just now got to names." I laughed too. "So…" He said, surveying my Emery poster coated locker. "You're into Emery?"

"Heck yeah! I guess my locker kind of gets the point across, huh?" He laughed again. Fun-loving guy, obviously. "Yeah, no crap." We started to walk to the cafeteria. "Them, Nirvana, and Minus the Bear are my favorite bands." "No way, mine too!" I fixed my Nirvana wristband, which he saw, and grinned. "You're alright." "You're not so bad yourself, Asher."
