First day of highschool
"Get up, Eva, you're going to be late for school!" I heard my mom at my bedroom door.
I'm Eva Griffin, the youngest of 2 children. My sister, Hanna is 2 years older than I am. We are complete opposites, she is very image driven and focused on being popular and liked. Likes dressing up, and oh sooo pink. I, myself couldn't care less what people thought of me, I was just me, the grungy metal chick. We live with both our parents in Cape Town, South Africa.
*buzz* my cellphone vibrated under my pillow. 2 text messages, one from my best friend, Peyton and the other from my boyfriend, Malcolm.
"Hey, b***h, ready to tear highschool apart? See you in a bit - P"
"Morning angel, I can't wait to have you at school with me. I love you - M"
Peyton and I have been friends for the last 4 years. We met in primary school when we were 10 yrs old. We are 14 now, starting grade 8 in highschool. Malcolm and I started dating a year ago, he is 3 years older than me.Our parents are friends and interest just bloomed from there.
The January heat is insane even at 06:30 in the morning.
"Eva, we leave in 15 minutes"
"Almost ready, mom"
I quickly got dressed in my school uniform, tied my hair and brushed my teeth. Grabbed my cellphone, cigarettes and school bag. Ready to conquer the day.
Peyton and I quickly found a smoking spot before entering the school. As the "new meat" we were kept seperate from the rest of the school until we were assigned our home room. After what felt like a live time, we were finally assigned our classes, Peyton and I both enrolled for English and Afrikaans first language, she unfortunately didn't make the cut. So I was in the A class for first languages (our class stays the same throughout highschool) she was in second language B - F classes they change yearly as they get reassigned.
We were seated alphabetically, I had noticed that I was surrounded by boys, all of them friends as they had attended the same primary school. We quickly started talking and laughing, I caught the eye of Mason While he's friend Jake caught mine. Finally it's break time..... Malcolm waited for me at he's usual hang out spot, I was so excited to see him. He wasn't part of the popular crowd, they were more the outcasts. Peyton had made a new friend in class and they were hanging out close by.
"How is your day so far, Eva?" Malcolm asked.
"It's been okay, made some friends in class, teachers are okay so far."
"I'm just glad you are here now, the guys didn't want to believe that a beautiful girl like you can be my girlfriend,"
"Haha, well I'm all yours angel."
"I really love you so much, Eva Griffin."
"I love you too Malcolm Saunders."
There goes the bell.... back to class. Walking down the hall to class, he came down the passage way. The moment I saw him my stomach had all kinds of butterflies. Confidence oozed off of him... every girl tried to get his attention, I was well aware that they all had the same reaction to his good looks. As we passed each other he made eye contact, our blue eyes locked, for what felt like an eternity and then he smiled.... that smile alone almost made my panties drop. Who the hell was this guy?
The day came to an end, my sister had introduced me to her friends as everyone wanted to meet Hannah's little sister, a title I seriously need to drop. I made new friends, loved seeing my boyfriend during the day and there is the mystery blue eyed guy, I haven't felt my knees go that weak in my life.... I have to find out who he is.
