The Past Is Here

CANYON CREST ACADEMY I sighed as I took the first step into my new school. My mum thought relocating from Florida to California was going to help. I'm not really sure about that. But I hope to start a new beginning and put my past behind me if its ever possible. My dreams are always haunted by him. I could no longer close my eyes to take a nap. Whenever I close my eyes,I see him mouthing,"I'll come back for you". I walked into the homeroom and since I got to school 12 minutes earlier,I decided to tour the surroundings of the school. It was so big so I familiarized myself with the cafeteria and labs. At least that's what I'll be needing for now. I walked to my locker,packed my books and walked to my first class only to find out the class has been locked. I knocked lightly on it. Woah,who locks a class two minutes before the bell is rung? I was snapped out of my thoughts when the door opened revealing a tall woman with strawberry-blonde hair and big glasses. "You're Miss.....?",she said before I cut her short. "Alexis Young", I said. She parted and allowed me to enter the class. "Now,Miss Alexis Young,I'll give you the rules of my class". She opened a file and handed a printed script that has a RULES TO MS.HALL'S CLASS" heading to me. "Go sit at the back and open your textbook to page 23",she said. I made my way to the back before a random guy bumped into me. "I wasn't looking",he said half smirking still standing in my way. "Get out of my way,loser",I said "Oh,feisty. I see. I'll find something to do about that",he said and sat down back. The rest of the class giggled. I looked down and walked straight to the back. I brought my English textbook out and opened to page 23. ******************************** The class finally ended and I packed my things and headed straight to my locker. I packed the things I needed for my second and third period because the trip to my locker wasn't an easy one. As I closed my locker and turned around,someone bumped into me spilling Gatorade on me. The bottle flew but I caught it. I looked at the person that bumped into me. It was the same guy that bumped into me in class but he was with three other attractive guys. "Can you always watch where the hell you're going?",I heard a familiar voice say and I looked up. It was the same guy that bumped into me at English class. "What did you just say?",I stared back at him,my blood boiling I like this shirt,godamnit......and now it's tie-dyed with Gatorade. "Are you deaf?,I said - Could you maybe watch where the f**k you're going",he repeated slowly. "Well, I'm not deaf. But if I was deaf,then saying it slower wouldn't help me understand what you said,dumbass" "You walked into me",he said taken aback with my response. He probably wanting me to squeal sorry and run away. "I wasn't even walking. I don't know how you define walking but I'm pretty sure that you have to be moving",I responded. "Can you just shut up and keep walking,b***h",he said. "First of all,I can't because you're still in my way",I said as I walked nearer to him."And second,never call a girl a b***h",I said as I emptied the remaining contents in the bottle on him. I heard a chuckle from the students that were around us and even his friends. I hissed and pushed him out of the way. As much as despising him,I felt a strange electric warmth spread through my body, originating in the spot where our bodies briefly made contact.......must be due to the lack of testosterone in my life. I made my way to the restroom to clean up. I finished and looked into the mirror only to find a girl standing at my back. I quickly turned around to face her. She smiled and extended her hand for an handshake. "I'm Kylie",she said. "Alexis",I took her hand and answered. "I know,we were in English class together". "Oh",that was all I could say. "You're really brave. You stood up to the one and only Josh of CCA",she said in a high-pitched voice. "Wow,Josh of CCA,who are the remaining attractive guys at his back?",I asked out of curiosity. "They're his friends. Hayden,Ryan and Derek. No one has ever stood up to them like you did now". "Ohh,I guess I just broke the rule of hierarchy but who gives a fuck.......... obviously not me",I said and she laughed. Just then the bell rang. "Got to go now,Lexi. See you around",Kylie said with a smile on her face. I smiled back and nodded. "Nice",I thought and made my way to History class. I walked into the classroom that was full of students trying to settle down. I saw someone wave at me. It was Kylie. I went over to meet her. "We have History together too. That's interesting",she said and made me sit beside her. The teacher was 10 minutes late to the class which made us able to chat for a while and I took a liking towards her instantly. ____________________ Thank you for going through this book and don't worry if this first chapter sucks,it gets better.
