Better Together

New me, new school, new people, new name, what can go wrong. *BEEP* *BEEP* It was 6:50 am when I picked up my phone and checked my messages. Oh wait, I have no friends! I place my phone back down and look up at the ceiling. “Today is going to be your day Chloe, today will be your day.” I laid in bed for another ten minutes until it was 7:00. *BEEP* *BEEP* My alarm went off again. I managed to get my butt out of the bed and head to the bathroom. Once I finished using the bathroom, I headed out and back into my room. I changed into a striped shirt and I put on my black skater skirt and grabbed my denim jacket. I tied up my hair and processed to put on a bit of makeup as for I am a troll without so. “Honey, breakfast is ready!” My mother shouted from the bottom of the stairs. “Okay!” I shouted back. I never understood what it was like to have a good mom, a supportive mom. It took me a while to even start calling her my mom. I haven’t realized that I have been thinking about my pass for a while because when I finally snapped out of my thoughts it was already 7:20 am. I rush and grab my backpack and head downstairs. “Hey sweetie, I made you pancakes, and oh I am going to be home late today but I'll leave some money at home so you can buy yourself some pizza okay?” My mom said while she was putting a pancake on my plate. “Okay mom” I looked at my watch it the time was 7:30 am, and I began to walk to the door. “Bye mom” “Bye sweetheart” She waved behind the door. I went out the door and immediately felt the cool air hit me in the face. I walked up to what I thought was the bus stop. I put my headphones in and turn on some music. Once I got on the bus I looked for a seat to sit in, there was only one more seat left. It was occupied by a boy. He was a pretty good looking guy. I walk up to his seat and asked “Hi, are you saving this seat for anyone.” I don't know what I did but everyone was looking at me like I was an alien. He looked at me with his emotionless brown eyes, but he didn't say anything, he stood up and I guess that was an indication that he was letting me sit beside the window. For some god damn reason, my house was a long way to my school. After about 10-15 mins the bus came to a stop in front of the school. I am still in awe of how big the school is, I turn my body so it can face the front, the bus doors are open but no one stood up to get off, but then he did. He got up and walked down the isles and off the bus, ‘weird’ I thought to myself. Then out of nowhere everyone was rushing to get off the bus. “Holy s**t” I managed to get off the bus in one piece after all the other kids were trampling one another to get off. There was a breeze of the same chilling air, I was about to walk off until I saw the same guy I sat with on the bus. He looked like he was acting all cool leaning on the bus with one of his foot on the tire. It almost looked like he was waiting for me, I shrug it off and continue walking towards the school. I heard footsteps behind me but gave no thought to that. I walked into the school doors and the first thing I see are groups, clique, and so many many people making out. Then suddenly they all looked at me, what, I was the new girl at school but they looked at me with fear. I turn around and it was the guy on the bus. He was taller than I had expected, but his piercing brown eyes were the same, emotionless. “You dropped your schedule,” He said handing me the paper, I put my hand in my jacket pocket and realized that I did drop it. “Thank you,” I said reaching out and grabbing it from his hand. I tug but he didn't let it go “Next time, don't sit next to me” he released his grip and walked away. What was his deal? I mean that is so stupid, the bus is something you have to share. I looked at my paper and see room 127. I don't even bother trying to ask for help, I just want to do this alone. After five minutes of walking around and being lost, I gave up and try to ask the people around me. Let's hope they are nice. I walk to the closest person I could find. He was about 5’11- 6’2, green eyes, masculine, he was standing by his locker, and on his phone. “Hi, I was wondering if you know the room 127,” I asked him in hope that he knew. He looked up and me and answered “Oh, I actually have that class too, you can just follow me” I sigh in relief. I follow him down the hallway when he starts speaking to me “My name is Max by the way.” “Emily” I replied “So are you knew to this school? Because I'm pretty sure I would remember a face like yours” he winked at me. I tried my best not to cringe at the fact I got winked at. “Unless you went to hell you haven't seen my face at all” “Ooh I like the way you talk-, OH SETH!” he looked up and I tried to see where his eyes were and I followed him to no other than the guy I met this morning. His name is Seth “So are you following me around now?” He asked me. I scoffed in disbelief. “Your ass must be pretty jealous of all the s**t that comes out of your mouth,” I mumbled but it was loud enough for him to hear. “Oh, so you met Seth already-” “Yeah we met in the bus” I cut him off “Wait-” he looked at Seth “Why are you riding the bus? Did you crash your dad's car again?” Are you serious again? How can teenagers manage to crash one car let alone two cars… you know what, they might be capable of doing that. “Yeah, he was pissed so he made me ride the bus,” Seth said running his hand through his hair “Why wouldn't you just call me? I drive remember?” “He said, if I didn't take the bus he would take my money” “Tough luck dude” Seth turns his head to me “127? Right?" he looked at me "Aren't we all thin the same class?” he f*****g read my schedule asshole. “Wait how did you see her schedule?” max asked “I guess I dropped it while I was on the bus” I explain Max nodded and proceeded to walk to the 127 class. ******* Thank you for reading, I decided to write this story instead of my essay.
