The New Girl
Right, it was my first day. New school and new people. Now first impressions are one of my most treasured things when it comes to meeting new people. I have not met one person who doesn't like me, and I don't plan on making a change to that. I don't want to brag or anything, but I like to think of myself as a generally nice person. A kind human being who loves to make new friends. My name is Christa Lenz and I am in tenth grade. All my life I have been constantly moving around the continent, school to school I have traveled, making friends and then moving away a few months later. Talk about exhausting. But this time, this time everything changes. I am finally settling down here with my parents and going to graduate here.
Being a teenage girl, I always dream of finding the perfect boyfriend. Someone to spend the rest of my life with. Someone who defines who I am and who I want to be. The one person who sheds light into my life. For a while, I actually didn't care much about it, but now that my high schools years are almost over, I think it's time to get out there.
I walk through the unfamiliar halls of my new school. It's a basic place with high ceilings, marble floors and the smell of perfume, sweat and rubber. The chatter seemed to echo through the halls filled with lockers and all kinds of classrooms. I have caught the attention of almost everybody and it seems to be your stereotypical high school. Popular girls, nerds, jocks, emos. Now that I think about it, I don't actually have a certain taste in boys. Assuring myself that I will know him when I see him.
I shut my recently given locker door, my Science books in hand. My first class was with Ms. Hanji. After asking many people where the classroom was, I have heard that Ms. Hanji is a little crazy. She is hyper and gets way into the lessons.
However, I followed the directions the student gave me and prepared myself for a hyperactive crazy person. (A/N: Love Hanji XD). After a while I ended up right where I wanted to be. I cautiously entered the class and saw a lot of new faces, new friends, hopefully. Everyone here seemed to be interacting with one another, though this one group, made up of 2 boys and 2 girls, seemed a bit intimidating. Everyone stayed clear of them and there was 2 desks free in front of them and no one made a move to sit there. I was about to put my things on the desk when one of the girls glared at me, so they are saving these seats for someone who wasn't here.
The glaring girl had frosty blonde hair and ice blue eyes. She looked much like me, except for the face, especially the nose. (A/N: Quite obvious it's Annie. Aka one of my favorite characters). The other girl had brown hair and freckles. She had narrow hazel eyes and a smug smirk on her face. Now the boys seemed a little more friendly looking, I guess. One boy had black hair and was ridiculously tall. And he also seemed to be eyeing the blonde girl in what seemed like affection. Someone clearly had a crush. Anyway, the other boy was blonde and looked like he was constantly wearing a football uniform. He was buff and seemed like the guy you didn't want to get in a fight with.
I sighed and averted my eyes from the group, scanning the room for any friendly faces. So far, I have not seen any boys that take my interest. I put my schedule in my shoulder bag and failed to notice a boy walk into the room on his phone and he was carrying coffee. Before I knew it, I whipped around an crashed right into the boy.
He gasped upon contact either in surprise or the coffee was still hot.
"I'm so sorry!" I cried.
"Hey, it's fine," the boy said. I started panicking and started wiping his shirt with my sleeve. I could hear the group and the rest of class laughing, but I was too bust publicly embarrassing myself.
"I am such a klutz! I am so sorry!" I said again. It got to the point where I was wiping so hard that the boys shirt lifted up, giving me a perfect view of his FREAKEN EIGHT PACK! My face immediately heated up and I looked up at the boy and felt like I was going to pass out. He was…gorgeous. Hot Sexy. Any term to describe your male favorite celebrity. The dream boy I have been waiting for was standing right before my eyes.
His brown hair was perfectly tousled and his skin was tanned and beautiful because I was still currently rubbing him. But, all that was nothing, NOTHING, compared to the beautiful green eyes. I was lost in the world of love. I am now looking at myself in an entirely different way.
Again...I failed to notice the door open again, and the laughing immediately stopped, though I didn't notice…until it was too late. The brown haired girl was taking a sip from her travel mug.
"Uh oh," she said.
"Oh shit…" others put in.
"New girl's gonna get it!"
"She's gonna get her ass kicked!"
Footsteps came closer, but neither of us seemed to notice. The boy was trying to avoid eye contact with me, because I seemed to have frozen in place.
"Hey," a voice said. I finally snapped out of it and looked at the newcomer. My face paled, my throat closed up and my eyes widened. You all know those girls who every boy wants and every girl wants to be. The girl that was voted prom queen, the one who you will see getting out of a really expensive sports car. And then there was her opposite. The girl that everyone fears. The one who people part for in the hallway because she is just that scary. She is the girl that gets expelled for getting too many suspensions because she managed to put lots of people into the hospital. But it seems the rules don't apply here, because those girls are one in the same, creating one ultimate girl.
The girl in front of me was drop-dead gorgeous. She had raven black hair and fierce grey eyes, reminded me of a wolf. Her porcelain face was twisted with a disgusted expression. Her leather jacket covered her shoulders and showed off her black cropped top. I tried not to be jealous of her muscled stomach and her generous chest. She had ripped up black jeans and leather boots. Basked in her presence made me feel like a speck of salt in her ocean.
I now know why everyone was silent. She was the queen bee, Number one and she seemed to have a bone to pick with me.
"Why the hell are you feeling up my boyfriend?!" she asked, venom laced in her words. She took some steps forward making me back up.
"Uh, um, I w-was-I had split coffee-." She stopped in front of me and raised an eyebrow.
"Stay away from him!" she said. I flinched at the demonic tone. The boy came up and slipped his hands around her waist.
"Hey babe, it's fine. I was walking and not paying attention, I crashed into her," he said. The girl looked at him and he kissed her lips. Of course, it's only natural for the most attractive boy had a hot girlfriend.
After they were finished, I heard the sound of chairs moving behind me. The scary group came from behind me and towards the couple.
"Damn Mikasa, frightening little girls already?" the brunette female asked. "You almost made her piss herself!" she cackled. I flushed in embarrassment. So far my first impression to these people was humiliating. I could feel tears prick in my eyes. I looked down ashamed and felt a hand on my shoulder. I snapped my head up and saw the boy.
"Hey, it's fine. Happens to the best of us. My name is Eren," he said holding his hand out. I hesitantly shook it, his can rough and warm. The 2 boys nodded in her direction.
"The names Reigner."
"Bertoldt." I saw the 2 girls look at the raven haired girl, Mikasa, as if for confirmation. Mikasa rolled her eyes and held her hand out.
"I'm Mikasa," she said. I grabbed her hand and she squeezed as hard as she possibly could, making me squeak.
"Mikasa…" Eren warned. Mikasa glared at him, but took her hand away and sat at the desk I was going to sit at. The 2 girls made no move to shake her hand but said their names anyway.
"Annie."
"Ymir." And the 2 followed Mikasa's example and took their seats, the boys following. I sighed and hurried over to the back of the room to the only other empty seat, next to another boy.
"Excuse me, can I sit here?" I ask. The boy looked up from his book and beamed.
"Sure!" he said. I smile and pluck myself down.
"I'm Christa!" I say. He shook my hand.
"Armin."
"HI GUYS!" a brunette superior bounced in, she crashed into the doorway, and then came in not even fazing here. "Welcome to Science!" And so begins my crazy first day.
The concept of Krista crashing into Eren, spilling coffee and her wiping him and Mikasa walking in was all based off the first episode of Victorious. With Beck, Tori and Jade (fav. Character). Was planning this for a while. Don't forget to leave a review and comment an idea.
