Part Two

Where did I leave off? After English? 

Right, after English I walked to my next class which was Spanish. Now granted, I lived in the Sunshine State for two years before hand and picked up a little spanish like the verb “chingar”. Yo quiero a chingar, ha. 

Okay, I’m getting off track. Spanish was a mess, I walked in and took a seat. I didn’t bother looking around and talking. Apparently later, I found out Mallori was right behind me and was offended I didn’t turn around and say “hi”. This class wasn’t important today, but it will be in the future. Because sitting across the room was Johnny boy. Senora Wick introduced herself and passed out crosswords for us to work on. I worked without a peep and left class when we were allowed to. The final class of the day was Biology Honours. I didn’t know anyone in this class except Abbey. Who was a nice girl, don’t get me wrong. But a few people have warned me of her. She waved at me and I looked at a seating chart on the nearest desk. It was a curious form of seating, first the columns were sorted by last names and underneath that it said “Taller in the back, shorter in the front”. I glanced at my row and noticed that everybody in this class was short. Everybody. 

I sat down in the back and listened to Mr. Gryzwa talk. After the bell rang I rushed to my locker and put my shit in there. I ran to my bus afterwards. As I put my earbuds in my ear I noticed a mop of blonde hair boarding the bus. “No way!” It was Jeremiah. 

I should explain, before school started, maybe in August, Taylor had organized this get-together so I could meet people and we could hang out or something of the like. I wore this Death Cab for Cutie band shirt and jeans and Jeremiah arrived. When he saw me he gave me a hug and said he already loved me because of my shirt. So when he saw that I was on the bus he ran over to my seat and took his place. It wasn’t awkward as many would find it. “I can’t believe you’re on this bus! Omigod, this is the best!” Half the bus ride was filled with this and me being quiet but smiling because I knew someone on this bus.

That was my first day of school.
