Chapter 2 / Edited
The weekend ended quickly. I put on a pair of jeans with a grey sweater. I grabbed my school bag and headed downstairs. "Ready for your new school?" My mom asked.
"Yeah. Atleast its my last year of high school." I said. We got into the car and my mom drove me to my new school.
"Here we are. Have a good first day." my mom said as I got out of the car. I waved her a goodbye and she drove to work. I entered the school and everyone looked at me. I didnt care. I walked to the receptionist and gave her my name. She handed me my schedule and locker code.
I walked to my locker and put in the combination.
I put my books and my bag in and took out my math books.
I closed my locker to meet a girl staring at me.
"Hi. Your the new girl right? Im Celeste.
Whats your name?" She asked. She had dark black hair and blue eyes.
Is it me or does she look like the guy I saw on Saturday.
"Im Blake." I introduced myself.
"Nice to meet you. Let me show you around." She pulled me by my arm and showed me around. I found all of my classes as she showed me whats whats here. "What do you have first?" She asked me. I handed her my schedule and she smiled.
"You have Mr Lopez first. Your coming with me." She said. The bell rang and we entered Mr Lopez's classroom.
"You have math first too?" I asked.
"Yep. Mr Lopez is so boring." Celeste said. I couldn't help but smile. Mr Lopez walked in and immediately started the lesson.
His class seemed to take forever. I stared out the window and saw the jocks playing football. "Ms Thorne. Whats the answer?" Mr Lopez asked. I looked at the bored and saw the easiest sum of 458×567.
"The answer is 259 686." I answered
Everyone looked at me then at Mr Lopez. "Thats...correct." He walked away from Celeste and I and Celeste looked stunned.
"You did that sum in your head." Celeste said, shocked at how I answeed so easily.
"Yeah. I was a bookworm when I was younger." I said.
"Oh. So your a nerd." She said.
"Yeah. you can say that." I said. Soon The first three classes were over and it was time for lunch. Celeste showed me the way to the cafeteria and we stood in the line. I grabbed a sandwich and a bottle of water and paid. I followed Celeste to a booth and we sat down.
Celeste and I were talking when a group of guys sat by us. They were guys I met saturday. "Hey Celeste. Who's your friend." Mr perfect asked.
"Go away Jason." Celeste said. I tried to ignore them but the boys kept looking at me. The girls from the bookstore who I found out were the cheerleaders glared at me. These boys were the jocks.
Can I disappear now. I felt uncomfortable and Jason spoke. "So whats your name pretty girl?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and reluctantly told them.
"Blake." They all complemented me because of my name and I just wanted to storm off. I hated attention. I needed air. I got up and went outside.
Finally. Im away from everyone. I walked on the field and saw the forest. I wonder why its so close to the school.
I sat under a tree and took my book out.
As I was reading another guy stood in front of me.
"Whats a nerd like you doing out here alone?
" He asked. I rolled my eyes and didnt answer him. I didnt even glance at him.
He bent down so he could see my eyes. He took my book and I looked at him angrily. "Hey give that back." I said. I looked in his eyes and I was mesmerized. It was a beautiful shade of green and Im not a girl that likes the colour green.
"Are you going to answer my question?" He asked me. I looked at him then to the ground. His voice was first rough and now its so gentle. I will never understand boys.
"Uhm... I just needed air so I came here." I said. He gave me back my book and sat next to me. "I was also hoping to be alone." I said and continued reading my book.
I saw him look at me and just smiled. I stared at the school and ignored that I obviously wanted to be alone. I took my things and got up. I was planning to walk away but the guy grabbed my hand. "Did you want something?" I asked him making obvious that I was annoyed by him.
"No. Go." He said and let go of my hand. River Hollow's boys are officially weirdos. I walked back to the cafeteria and made my way to my next class. I just wanted the day to be over already.
School was finally done for the day. I couldn't drive and my mom only had one car so I had to walk home. I grabbed my things anf left the building. I knew where my house was but I didn't know a lot of people so I don't trust anyone.
As I was walking, I felt like someone was following me. I didn't want to turn to see who it was cause I was almost home. I took a turn into an alley and stood behind a wall. I peeked to see if the person was still following me.
I saw the guy from school that took my book. I didn't know him so why was he following me? He walked closer to where I was hidding. I kept quiet hoping he would walk right pass me.
"Why you hiding in an alley?" He asked. How the hell did he find me? I didn't answer him. I looked for a way out but he had me cornered. "Arent you a stubborn girl. Are you not going to answer me love?" He asked. Can the earth swallow me now.
"I don't want to answer your questions. Also your to close. Another thing, dont call me 'love'." I stated. He chuckled and backed up a little. I wanted to walk away but he grabbed me by my arm. I wont lie when I said that I felt sparks.
"Just promise you wont walk in dark, creepy alleys anymore." He said. His voice was gentle and caring.
"I dont make promises." I said. I got out of his grip and went home.
Once I got home, I locked the door and went to my room. I dropped my bag on my bed and took out my journal from under my pillow. I started writing about today and about the guy who's name I still don't know.
A little while later I went downstairs and made a sandwich. My phone buzzed and I check to see I got a message from my mom. She was working late so I had to order in. I placed my phone on the island table and I went to the living room.
I turned on the tv and went into netflix. I scrolled through a number of movies and series and landed on After. I pressed play and took a bite of my sandwich. Half way into the movie there was a knock on the door. I paused my movie and went to the door.
I unlocked it and opened to see Celeste and Jason. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked. They let themselves in without saying a word.
"We need to tell you something." Celeste said.
I showed them to the living room and we sat to talk. "What is this about?" I asked.
"Well. The guy you were talking with at school...he is nothing but trouble so you should stay away from him." Celeste said.
I tried to think about who she was talking about then it hit me. "I wasn't planning on hanging out with him anyway." I said. "You guys want to stay. Im ordering pizza." I said as I took out my phone to order the pizza.
"Sure." Jason said.
I didnt really want him here but he is Celeste's brother. Thirty minutes later the pizza arrived and we talked. Celeste and I had so much in common and Jason kept staring at me. Once it was eight pm, Celeste and Jason left. I cleaned up then headed to my room.
I grabbed my towel and went to my bathroom.
I turned the shower on and got undressed.
I got into the shower and let the warm water was everything off of my.
Once I was finished, I dried off and put on my pajama shorts and top.
I heard a knock coming from the front. I went fownstarws and opened it to see the guy from school.
He looked at me up and down and smirked. "What are you wearing?" He asked. I stared at him. Why was he even here? His smirk disappeared when I didn't answer him. "You are a bad girl. Not answering my questions." He said.
"I was gonna sleep. Im wearing my pajamas." I said. He scanned my body again and it was wierd. "Are you done looking at me?" I asked. I looked into his eyes and I got goosebumps. What is wrong with me?
"I forgot to introduce myself this morning. Im Eric Daniels." He said. He held his hand out to shake mine. I shook his hand without breaking eye contact.
"Im Blake." I said.
"Blake." He said my name. I never knew my name sounded so sweet. Only when he said it though. Why? I dont know. "Aren't you going to invite me inside?" He asked. I thought about it.
I moved out the way and let him in. He walked into the house and I lead him to the kitchen. "So...why are you always alone?" He asked.
"Why do you ask so many questions?" I asked. Eric chuckled and didn't take his eyes off of me. "What are you even doing here? We have school tomorrow go home." I said and showed him the door.
"Ok, ok. I'll talk to you tomorrow then." He said and left. Before I could say anything he was gone.
I went back to my room and layed in bed. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't get Eric off of my mind. His dashing smile, his emerald green eyes and his messy hair style. Why am I even thinking of him? I dont even know him.
I pulled my blanket over my head and tried to sleep. Nope. Still cant sleep. I stared at my ceiling and my eyes started to get heavy. Soon I finally fell asleep.
