April's P.O.V:
I woke lazily to the sound of my alarm on my phone and it read '6:00 am.' I tried to remember why I set my alarm for 6 in the morning. It was then that I realized that it was my first day as a junior at Fenway High School! Classes didn't start 7:15 and Beth and Dominic are picking me up at 6:45 so I had enough time to get ready. I had picked out my clothes last night which consisted of the following: a pair of converses, light blue skinny jeans, and a white button up shirt with the sleeves folded up. I hopped into the shower and was in there for 15 minutes before I stepped out. I wrapped a towel around myself then dried my and brushed my teeth once I was finished. Afterwards I put on my makeup and then proceeded to get dressed. Once I was finished I saw that the time was '6:30,' so I had 15 minutes before I had to leave.
I grabbed my backpack, phone, keys, and wallet then headed downstairs. When I did I saw my mom sitting next to the island while my dad was cooking, but I didn't see Brenna. "Morning! Hey have you seen Brenna she was suppose to ride with me, Beth, and Dominic." My mother responded, "Morning sweetie she left several minutes ago." "Why?," I asked a little annoyed. My dad responded, "I think she said something about being old enough to go to school on her own, anyway if you see her tell her to text us at some point." "I will. For the next 15 minutes we ate breakfast and talked until I heard a car horn outside, "Oh that's Beth and Dominic I have to go love you guy's." My dad responded, "Have a nice day kiddo!" I heard my mom, "Bye sweetie love you!" As stepped outside I saw Dominic's car with Beth riding in the back and Dominic driving. I checked the time on my phone and it read '6:40,' "You early." Dominic responded as I got in the car, "Well someone was very eager on getting to school today, as he eyed Beth. She responded, "What can you blame me for being excited about today! Also where's Brenna I thought she was going to be getting a ride from us today?" "She was, but she left while I was getting ready. Dominic responded, "Well that's understandable, she's trying to show you and your parents that she's old enough to go to school own her own." I kissed him after he finished speaking and said, " Thanks sweetie and you're right. Maybe my parents and I should stop treating her like a little kid." It was at then that Beth spoke, "Guy's we should get going cause I don't think April wants to be late on her first day." After she said that we drove to the school while talking and listening to music. By the time we got to the school it was already 7o'clock.
It was pretty big school cause during the summer Beth had given me a tour of the school and showed me where my classes would be. As we got out of the car Beth asked, "Do you want us to come with you to get your schedule and locker number?" I kissed Dominic on the cheek then responded, "No thanks I'm good I'll see you guys later." After I said goodbye to Dominic and Beth I went to the office to pick up my schedule and locker number. Once I went into the office I spoke with the receptionist, "Hi my name is April Carver I'm the new student and I'm just here to pick up my schedule and locker number." The receptionist named Laura responded, "Of course just give me a few minutes to get it." "Thank you." A minute after she left I heard someone call my name, "Ms. Carver." I turned around and saw Principle Lawrence. I spoke and took my hand out for him to shake, "Principle Lawrence it's good to see you again." He shook my hand and responded, "And you as well Ms. Carver, do you mind if I speak to you for a minute?" "Of course what is it?" "I just wanted to how you doing so far even if school has just started?" I smiled and responded, "Thank you, and I'm doing good so far." "Your welcome Ms. Carver and remember if you or your sister are having any trouble at all you can come to me. Have a good day Ms. Carver." Thank you and you as well." After I spoke with Principle Lawrence I received my schedule and locker number and proceeded to my locker. Once I got to my locker I saw a girl with her back on top of my locker, "Excuse me you're on top of my locker." After I spoke the girl got off my locker and it was then that I was able to get a impression of her. She was a bit taller than me and had nice figure. She seemed very exotic along with chocolate brown eyes and brunette hair to match. It was then that she spoke to me, "So you're the new student, I don't see what's so special about you aside from dating Dominic. I'm Raquel Avila and I'm the one who can make your life a living hell so if I were you, I would be careful on who you make enemies with." Once she was done she left me speechless and in complete shock. After a minute or two I finally opened my locker and put my things in it then headed of to class which was biology in room 134. Once I found the room I walked into the room and spotted the teacher. He was a little taller than my dad and was older than me by 7 or 8 years. He had hazel eyes and wore glasses. He had dirty blonde hair that was spiked up at the top. He was also in ridiculous shape based on how his shirt looked like it was about to rip at any moment. I walked up to him, took my hand out for to shake and spoke, "Mr. Williams my name is April Carver I'm your new student." "He shook my hand and spoke, "Oh yes Principle Lawrence told the staff we would be having a new student!" He then turned around and spoke to the class, "Attention everyone!" The class stopped what the were doing and turned to face him, "This is our new student April Carver; please try to make her feel welcomed." After he finished speaking I took a seat next to Beth who I saw earlier. During the class Mr. Williams explained the syllabus to us and I told Beth about my meeting with Raquel. Beth explained how Raquel shouldn't be trifled with, and that she made one student transfer by spreading a rumor around that they were pregnant with a college student's kid. I was shocked that and I told Beth that somebody needs to put her in her place. For the rest of the day I went to my classes and introduced myself and made a good impression with my classmates and teachers. I think that this is going to be a good year.
Leo's P.O.V:
I had awoken to the sound of my alarm going of at "6:00 am" and I knew exactly why I set it. It was the first day of my junior year, yay. After a few minutes I got out of bed and went to take a shower. Once I got out of the shower I saw that it was '6:20' so I had enough time to get ready. Once I dried off I brushed my teeth then got dressed. My attire consisted of a black V-neck tee shirt, a pair of dark blue jeans, and a pair of motorcycle boots. Once I was done getting ready I grabbed my phone, wallet, bag, and my leather jacket and headed downstairs toward the kitchen. Once I went into the kitchen I saw my dad sitting by the counter reading the paper and eating some eggs, When he looked up from his paper and saw me he spoke, "Morning son how'd you sleep? I responded while making myself some toast, "Morning dad I slept alright. Hey listen I was thinking of seeing Scott mom then coming and working out after school." My dad looked up from his paper after I had said that and spoke, "Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean the last you saw Scott's mom was well, you know. "I know and I understand, it's I just want to see how she's doing. Besides it's just a thought I don't know if I'm going to or not, I responded after taking a bite out of my toast. My dad looked at his watch then spoke again, "Hey look I have an early campaign meeting at the office this morning along with planning charity events to support my campaign so I'll be home late tonight. Have a nice day at school son and try to do better this year son, love you." "Bye dad and I will," I responded as he left the kitchen to head off to work. After I finished my breakfast I saw that it was '6:40' so I put my jacket on and grabbed my bag then proceeded to head to the garage and got on my bike.
I enjoy riding my bike, hell that's all I did after Scott died. It helps clear my head and I just feel free. As I rode to the school all I could think about was how when I walked in there I would just hear everyone talking about what they did for the summer, where they went, who the spent the summer with, blah blah blah. Frankly I could give a shit about what they did, all I did over the summer was: work on my bike, rode my bike, worked out a lot, read a lot, and played my guitar. By the time I arrived at the school it was '6:55' and classes started at '7:15'. As I got off my bike I looked around and saw everyone either outside talking to their friends or walking into the school doing the same thing. As I continued to look around I saw Dominic Russo's car parked by the sidewalk and saw him, Beth, and some girl I've never saw before get out. They talked for a brief moment and then Russo and Beth went in one direction while the other girl went into the school. I was able to see that she hair brown hair and was wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows along with some light blue jeans. Once I finished parking my bike an headed inside the school to get my locker number and schedule. I wasn't surprised to hear the multiple conversations about everybody's summer as head down to get my locker number and schedule. Once I got my schedule I headed to my first class which was a free period and my second class was advising with Mrs. Anderson who also the school counselor. After Scott had passed away she was someone who I could go to besides my father and opened up to her about how I felt about everything. She was one of the first few people who noticed how I wasn't acting like myself. She tried to explain to me that my behavior wasn't healthy for me and that it was a coping mechanism for Scott's death. Deep down I know she's right, but a part of me isn't ready to deal with his death because all my emotions about his death have been bottled up since my change and if I let them out, I would be opening the flood gates. During my free period I spent it in the library listening to music and reading 1984. As I walked into the class I saw that there were only a few students in the room and Mrs. Anderson as well. I walked in and spoke to her, "Hey Mrs. Anderson how was your summer?" She spoke with a bit of joy in her voice, "Leo it's good to see you! My summer was good. How was yours?" "It was good, I just spent most of it reading, writing, exercising, and playing my guitar." "That's good, listen I want you to know that if you're ever ready to talk just let me know." "Alright and thank you for the concern I appreciate it. So where do you want me to sit? " "Oh you can sit next to Beth in the second row," she said and pointed to the empty seat next to Beth. I chuckled a little because out of everyone in the school that I like talking to it was Beth. Scott and I met during freshmen year of high school and we've been friends with her since. "Hey Beth how was your summer," I asked as I took my seat next to her. "Oh hey Leo! It was pretty good thanks for asking. How was yours?" We continued to talk while all the other students come into the room. During the conversation she talked about how her friend April just school here. Eventually class had begun and Mrs. Anderson had given us our syllabus and discussed what we would be doing for the semester. During the time I kept debating whether I should visit Scott's mom or not.
School had finally ended I decided to go visit Scott's mom and then head home to workout. Luckily it was the first day of classes and the teachers didn't give any homework. I kept my promise to my dad and did focus more on my classes. Luckily I had some pretty easy classes with teaches that I like. I got on my motorcycle and put my helmet on then proceeded to drive off to Scott's house. It'll be good to see his mom again and see has she's been doing since his passing. Plus the last time I saw her was his funeral and I sat next to her along with my father, and we barely spoke since then. Plus their house is a good 20 minute drive from both here and my house. My thoughts were cut short when I saw a girl walking and digging through her purse and my instincts kicked in and swerved out of the way. The end result was me knocking the side mirror of someone's car and me crashing on the pavement. I looked and saw the girl run over to me as I got up and took my helmet off and once it was off I was able to see who she was. When I looked at her only one thought kept running through my mind, it was just how beautiful she was and then I realized it was the girl that I saw this morning. She had dark brown hair with a pair of gorgeous brown eyes to match.
April's P.O.V:
I had an amazing first day and was made a great impression with all of my teachers. Thankfully the teachers didn't give us any homework on the account that it was our first day so I'm happy about that. I'm also happy because I share my first and fifth class with Beth and my third and seventh class with Dominic. I was able to find Brenna during lunch and I told her to text mom and dad when she gets the chance today. It really bothers me that she left knowing that she was going to get a ride from Beth, Dominic, and I and I a little upset because after school we were going to go to the local coffee shop near my house, but Dominic has work at 3 because his job is currently short on staff. However he did say he could drop Beth and I off there on his way to work. Right now I'm on my way to his car when I start to hear my phone go off in my purse and I begin to look for it. I became distracted that a guy on a motorcycle rushed passed me and hit the side mirror of someone's car and the crashed on the pavement. I ran over to see if he was okay and saw that he was getting up and taking his helmet off. Once his helmet was off I was able to see what he looked like and I was surprised by how handsome he was, but at the same time there was a sense of familiarity to him. He had spikey hair that was light brown, beautiful pair of blue eyes, and he had a little bit of a stubble on him.
Nobody's P.O.V:
They both looked at each other until April finally spoke, "I am so sorry about this! I didn't see you 'cause I was looking for my phone plus it's my first day!" Leo chuckled and muttered to himself while picking up his motorcycle, "Why am I not surprised by that." April's shocked look became a mix of shocked and annoyance. She then spoke with a hit of anger, "Excuse me? What are you not surprised by?!" Leo looked up from checking the damage and said, "I'm not surprised by the fact that this is your first day and you were looking for your phone when you should have been paying attention where you were looking." April was taken aback by what he had said and she didn't even know who he was. It was then that she spoke with nothing but anger in her voice, "Excuse me?! I'm sorry if my parents were probably calling me to see how my first day was! Plus what gives you any right to tell me what I should be doing?!" Leo finished checking for any damage on his motorcycle then proceeded to get on it and before he could put his helmet on, April interrupted him, "Wait, you can't just leave! You just damaged somebody's car." Leo then spoke with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "Aw you're such a good person." He then put his helmet on and then proceeded to drive off, leaving behind an annoyed April. As they tried to process what had happened, one thought kept running through both of their minds: how much they disliked each other.
