Zach walks right up to me before sitting down. I ignore the grin he's sporting and take his class schedule. All but one of his classes were with me. He has English, Chemistry, Psychology and PE. We had the same subjects but he had English at a different time to me. I lead him around as I was instructed to do and he hung around with us at lunch and recess. I try to avoid talking to him whenever possible but he keeps making unneeded comments. Some are directed to me and some at our teachers, but he keeps most for the teachers under his breath barely audible but I can hear them. I don't think he's used to having things shot back at him though. The first time I responded to him, he was taken a back and each time I said something after that, he would glare at me. By the time the end of the day rolled around, I had had enough of him. He was getting on my nerves. I told him that I'd met him at his locker first thing tomorrow and by the end of the day he should have everything figured out. Then I said goodbye and walked to my car. It was time to go home!
I drove home, stopping at at the dinner to get a milkshake and some fries. I finished my fries, thanking Julie. I ate her often enough that I knew the staff, what with my mum being gone and all. Before grabbing my milkshake and walking out to my car. I was thankful that I left when I did because Josh pulled up as I walked out. I hurried to my car so I didn't have to deal with him. after spending the whole day with Zach, and then knowing I had dinner with Catherine and her family made me wish Josh away all the more. By the time I got to my car, I think he had forgotten I was even there because he walked straight into the diner. I turned on my car and pulled away before the rest of their 'gang' noticed I was there.
I pulled up in my drive way, 2 hours until I have to go next door. for dinner. I take my bag and go straight to the study unpacking my homework and setting up my desk. I sat down, pulling out my psychology essay. After half an hour of struggling to focus I decide to go for a run. I change into my running gear and dig my iPod out. I thrown my phone on charge and walk out the door locking it behind me. I run to the park which is half way to school and back. I run upstairs and jump into the shower. I have about an hour until i have to go next door. I take my time, washing my hair and cleaning my body letting the warm water run from my head to toes. I get out a put on a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt. I look at the clock and realise that I'm still super early. I walk around to my library. It was once my playroom but when I was about 8, my dad and I worked on turning it into a library. We built bookshelves around the entire outskirts of the room and we turned the window into a window seat with a lots of cushions. He put each of the books he's ever had in there and some distant relatives occasionally send me a book for christmas. When my aunt Abby passed away, I inherited her entire collection and that's in there as well. Now it's just my books. There's still a lot of empty spaces but I'll fill them one day. I go and pick up my current book, And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie and sit in my window chair. I set an alarm for quarter past six and another at twenty five past six so I wouldn't be late and then I got lost in another book.
Time came for me to head next door. I put my book away and ran downstairs taking only my phone and my keys with me. Before I walked up the front porch, I studied the house itself. It wasn't much different from mine. It was two stories high and had a balcony towards the back of the house on the right side of the house facing the balcony leading to my room. The house also had a large balcony at the front of the house. It was a nice house and the front garden was beautiful, filled with all different kinds of flowers. I walked up to the front door and knocked gently three times. Catherine opened the door and greeted me with a huge smile. I walked inside and was introduced to Harper, she was the little girl that was playing out the front of the yard this morning. She ran up and hugged me instantly, well my legs more so. She had light brown hair which sat naturally in light waves and she had crystal blue eyes. She was gorgeous! I also met Charlie, Catherine's husband and she told me to wait till I met her son, that we'd get on great.
"Zach, hurry up and get down here!"
Before I could register what she had said, Zach appeared at the top of the stairs with his usual smirk. His smirk disappeared as soon as he saw me, replacing itself with a frown.
"Please tell me you're a friend of their son's and not their son?"
"Sorry, I can't do that." Once again his frown was replaced with a smirk.
