Johnny's POV
It's just a normal day at Cell High School. There is only 7 more months until high school is finally over. It's not like I didn't like school, I'm just over it. 4 years of my life wasted with people I will never see again.
Oh s**t, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Johnny Fields. I'm a senior in this high school with my girlfriend Paula. We've been together since sophomore year. A lot of people find it shocking how we lasted this far because we are in different social classes. At first, we were both nerds, but then she climbed the social ladder and became a cheerleader. Even though things are different, our relationship and feeling for each other hasn't.
Alright, enough of the sappiness. As I make my way through the hallways, I start to look for my girl. We always meet up before classes start because we don't share classes. I see Paula at her locker, grabbing her things. She's wearing the hell out of her cheerleader uniform. She's so beautiful without even trying. We haven't hit that step in our relationship yet, but I know she's right for me.
As if she had eyes in the back of her head, I can see her smirk as she turns to look at me. I walk up to her and put my arm around her waist to kiss her. I smile against her lips as I feel her arms go around my neck.
"Hey babe," Paula says as she releases from the kiss too soon. "I know classes start in about 10 minutes, but do you want to skip today? My parents are at work and the place will be ours for a while if we go now".
"That sounds intriguing, but don't you have practice after school today?," I replied. I can she her starting to pout a bit.
"I can show you my new routine," Paula runs her left fingers up my arm seductively while the other hand goes through my hair. It's not like I don't want to fool around with her, it just doesn't feel right yet. Before she continued, the first bell rings.
"Maybe another time, but for now it's time to go to class."
"Fine, but I will get you to skip. A good girl can't wait forever." She kisses me one more time before walking over to her friends.
Before I turn back towards my locker, I see Brandon Card making his way towards Paula. He was on the basketball team and the school player. He had slept with almost all the girls on every sport team in the school. I can't help but be possessive when I see him so close to my girl. I trust Paula, but I don't trust him.
Truth be told, all three of us (me, Paula, and Brandon) were friends growing up. He was my best friend and I knew him before Paula came into the picture. But when we entered high school, popularity and puberty drifted us apart. But, I'm not getting into that, since I'm not sure why he stopped being friends with me.
I finally make my way to my locker looking down when I bump into someone. As I look up, I feel the other person staring at me. I think he's new, since I haven't seen him around.
"Sorry dude I didn't notice you in the way. You alright?," I ask while double checking him real quick.
"I am now shorty," he replied. "If you can't tell by my British accent, I'm new here to this town. Maybe you can take time out of your schedule to show a new around the school."
"I would, but I'm busy right now. I can recommend you a person to show you around. But..," before finishing my sentence, the second bell for classes goes off, meaning I was gonna be late to class. "That was the bell, so I gotta go, but good luck tho. I'm Johnny."
"Well, it was nice running into you Johnny. My name is Tom. Hope to see you around cutie."
As I turn to my left, the classroom door opens and Mrs. Twist walks out.
"Mr. Fields, are you going to come in or are you gonna go to the principal's office for a late pass?," she says as she stares us down. Tom clears his throat before speaking up.
"Good morning, Mrs. Twist is it? My name is Tom Harrison. I am new to this school and ran into Johnny here by accident. He said that he is going to show me where my class was, but if it's not okay...," he trails off.
"No, no. It is alright. Mr. Fields, continue your tour quickly and then make your way back to class before the period ends. It was nice meeting you Mr. Harrison." Mrs. Twist turns back around and returns back to her classroom.
I look at Tom weirdly, and see that he is sporting the biggest smirk on his face. Before I speak, he grabs my hand and drags me through the hallway.
"Might as well take me on that tour now since Mrs. Twist gave you the okay. At least you get to miss class with a new friend like me," Tom says without turning back to look at me.
I would have talked back, but I had no words. For some reason, his hand on mine didn't feel weird at all. His hand felt warm in mine, something I haven't even felt with Paula. I'm not gay at all and I love my girlfriend, but this kinda feels alright. I must have zoned out for too long because I felt someone shaking my shoulder. Tom is standing in front of me now and I finally shake myself out of my thought.
"What did you say Tom?"
"Nothing important. Anyways, let's get going before our time runs out." Tom continues to walk on while I mentally collect myself. I walk behind him as we make our way down the hall. After the quick tour of the school, we make our way to his first class so I can drop him off before making my way back to my own.
"You are not that bad of a tour guide, Johnny," Tom says as we approach the classroom door.
"No problem. I mean, you called us friends earlier, so I did a duty for a new friend. Anyway, here is your class. There's still about 25 minutes of class time left and since you are new, you won't get in trouble on your first day," I smile down a bit before looking back at him. "Good luck and welcome here. I'll catch you later then."
As I turn to walk away, I feel a grip of my arm and the next thing I know, I was pulled into a hug. Tom's embrace shocked me at first, but I hugged him back after a couple seconds. After a bit, Tom finally lets go of me, but I was kinda missing it.
"Thanks again mate for the tour. You made the feeling of being a new kid not too bad. If you aren't too busy after school, maybe you can be my town tour guide as well." I laugh as he does puppy eyes and pouts his lips.
"That does sound tempting, but I can't. I am meeting my girlfriend Paula to have some couple time after her cheer-leading practice."
At the mention of a girlfriend, I thought I saw Tom's smile drop a bit. As quickly as it dropped, it was right back up.
"That's cool then. Cant's keep the missus waiting. I'll see you later then. You can't get rid of me that quick." Tom smirks as he goes into his class.
Even though he wasn't that far away, I missed his presence a bit. Looking down at my watch, I notice that my class ends in 20 minutes.
"s**t," I said to myself. I quickly make my way to class before time runs out. Unknowing to me, there was eyes watching me as I sprinted down the hall.
Third Person POV
Seeing him so close up, I can't help but smirk when I saw him and Tom together in the hall. Hopefully, things will finally be fixed before it is too late. Last time was hard to go through. I'll do anything to make sure Johnny stays safe this time. I slip away before someone notices me in the hall. This year will finally be the right time.
