Second chance reunion

Chapter 4 - Blain

When I turned to walk away from my locker I felt someone run straight into me. I quickly turned and grabbed the person before looking down to find the brightest and most alluring blue eyes I’ve ever seen in my life, they literally captivated me until someone clearing their throat snapped me out of my little trance. On second look it was the new girl, I now know what my brother meant by ‘your so screwed when you meet her’ she was beautiful, not just because but f*****g stunning. Again I realised I was just staring at her like an i***t and all I could manage to say was “hi”. She looked at me strange for a few seconds before replying “hey, I think your the guy that lives next door to me” then her eyes widened and she blurted “I’m so sorry that’s creepy as anything. Hi I’m Dekota” and put her hand out to shake. I quickly put my hand in hers and felt a ripple go through my body at the contact and held her hand for a little to long before pulling away and rubbing the back of my neck “hey, I’m Blain but yea I’m the guy next door. You met the rest of my crazy family yesterday”. She had a soft smile at the mention on my family “their not to bad, I wouldn’t call them crazy by any means but then again we didn’t really have much time to get into all that. It was only a brief meeting I guess” blushing and looking down, I have to let out a little chuckle at this whole situation. She was cute as s**t when she was flustered. I had to ask “are you trying to find your locker ? I could help if you need some” she looked a little unsure before she seemed to come to a decision “ahh yea sure why not I’m looking for locker 137, wouldn’t happen to be able to point me in the right direction ?” At this I actually did laugh and pointed to the locker right next to mine “welcome to your locker. I guess we’re locker buddies now”. She said her thank you and went to the locker putting the combination into the lock and popping it open piling a bunch of books and other stuff into the locker. Eventually she looked back up to me “is there a reason your staring at me like that ? Do I have something in my face?!” She instantly pulled a tiny compact mirror out of her bag and checked her face. “No you don’t have anything on your face, I was just going to ask if you wanted help finding your class. I could have a look at your schedule and see if your near me”. She mules over this for a minute or so giving me a suspicious look but finally caved “fine I suppose that’s alright. Here I have English first”. I looked over her schedule and realised we have most classes together besides science and she had photography whilst I was at practice during the day. “We have pretty much every class together bar 2. I could show you around and show you the classrooms” looking down to see her expression. She seemed alright with it and waved her hand out “well on we go” she said before starting to walk away. I chuckled “your going to wrong way”. She looked back at me with a bright blush working over her cheeks “right right I have to follow you, please lead the way”. I laughed as I walked us to English.

When we got there I took her up to the teacher and let her do her thing whilst I sat down. After about 2 minutes of sitting there not paying attention to anything someone sat next to me. It was none other than Gabbie the head cheerleader. “OMG is that the new girl ? There’s been talk around the school already about her and apparently you walking her to class”. I just rolled my eyes and sat back in my seat “what does it matter if I walked her to class Gabs? There’s never been anything between us and there never will be. Could you please get over it already. This little claim game is just plain annoying now” she had the audacity to actually laugh at that and turned to say “are you kidding your the quarter back and I’m head cheerleader is basically written in the school handbook that we have to be together” she looked down right murderous. If looks could kill I’d probably be 6 feet under right now. The teacher speaking stopped out little argument “ I’d like to welcome a new student. Class this is Dekota Bennett, please make her feel welcome” he turned to Dekota and told her to take any available seat she could find. I watched her look around but the only available seat was dead in front of me, well this should be interesting.

Dekota sat in front of me after sending a confused and if I dare say a little bit of a jealous look towards Gabbie. “She doesn’t belong here Blain, and what about that look she just gave me. Are you actually going to let her do that ?” I just looked at Gabbie wondering if anything I had just said had gone into her brain but I’m guessing no. “Gabbie leave her alone. You may be queen bee or whatever you want to call yourself but back off I mean it.” She just stared at me for a long while thinking I’d back down but when I didn’t she finally turned to the front with a huff. I looked over at Dekota again and saw her shoulders slightly moving up and down, I could guarantee she just overheard the little exchange and was getting a kick out of it. I couldn’t help laughing either. This should be an interesting year with the new girl around to mess with the status quo’s.
