it was a normal day at school, i was sat in science as i heard the bell ring

"finally" i muttered as i grabbed my books and shoved them into my bag

i had work after school, i only worked in small coffee shop in town but my manager sucked, i got paid the smallest amount and i wasn't happy but my best friend megan worked there and i cant get any other job no matter how many applications i put in

i walk out of my class and to the school
parking lot, it was huge, my school was one of those big schools with loads of popular kids who were on the football team or were cheerleaders

''where's my car?"

i finally spot my red truck that my grandad has passed down to me after walking around for what felt like forever

i jump in the truck slamming the door behind me, i rest my head back onto the headrest and took a deep breath trying to calm myself

after a moment i sit up and turn the engine on

"HEY" i heard someone shout from the side of me

i quickly whip my head around and see one of the 'popular' boys stood there

he was wearing a red and yellow jacket that had a S on it, it was the football team, he had a football in his hand and had blonde messy hair, he had black skinny jeans on with a small silver chain handing from his trousers and a white shirt with a cross pendent around his neck

i look up and see a huge smile on his face

"hello?" i reply with a confused look on my face

it isnt normal that one of those boys would talk to me, i don't really talk a lot in school, i'm only at this school because my parents wanted me to study music here and it was a really good school for music

"sorry if i scared you" he says as he throws the football up in the air catching it again

i roll my window down so i can hear him properly

"oh um" he quickly says as he realised i rolled the window down

"i just wanted to say that you have a really good voice, i mean i heard you in choir practice earlier and i just wanted to let you know" you could tell he was nervous

he ruffled his messy hair around and smiled at me

"thanks i guess" i showed him a weak smile on my face

"well i better get going, i have work" i said as i put my into the phone holder and press start on the directions

my school was around 30 minutes away as i only went there for my music career

"you going on a road trip?" he asks looking at my phone realising i had 30 minutes left off the journey

i looked at him confused until i realised what he was talking about

i turn my head to my phone and back to him with a smile on my face "oh no, i don't live around here, i only came here because of the music, the schools close to my house sucks"

he nods his head. "so where you off too?"

"i work in a small coffee shop in town, but i need to go home first then drive another 20 minutes back here, it's a pain in the ass" i laugh

"is it the brew in?" he smiles

i nod my head. "my parents said i need to start saving up for college, i was just going to move in with my sister but we don't really get along, plus she younger so"
