Caught up

New Toy

"Zoe ! Come on, we're gonna be late !" my brother, Jacob yelled from the car.

  Rolling my eyes "One second!" I yelled from my window, he nodded his head and turned up the music   I grabbed my phone and keys and ran down the stairs, kissing my dad on the cheek as I left

"Bye daddy" I said, already out the door   My brother was one of the popular kids in school, girls falling all over him, getting things handed to him, all that. I, on the other hand was really quiet.. Almost like I was never there. Having just transferred from west Down town LA, I was ready for a fresh start.  

He looked over at me "Zoe"   "Yeah?" I said, snapping out of my thoughts    "Your a Junior this year.. And.. Well.. Boys are going to.... be kind of.." he started, with an uneasy look on his face    "Jacob, Calm down. I know." I said, smiling at him.    My brother was always the protective type. Some times it gets on my nerves.

As we pulled up to the school, we found a parking space. I stepped out and heard immediate whistles

Jacob's eyes widened as he slammed his door

Snapping his head to the direction of the group of boys whistling "That's my sister man, chill out"

they all laughed, except him

I couldn't help but notice a tall, buff, caramel colored boy with a gorgeous smile standing in the middle of the group. 

I smirked, walking in front of the group, strutting inside. I felt their eyes staring. 

I sighed, looking down at my schedule, then looking up into the crowded hallway. "This is gonna be fun" I mumbled, Rolling my eyes

"Need help?" I heard a deep voice from behind me ask, as I turned around.

I came face to face with the beautiful boy from outside, he ran his hands through his short curls and looked at me.

"u-uhh yeah" I said, shaking my head. Oh the things I would do to that boy

"Well..?" he said, looking me. Slightly. Biting his big, plump lip

"Uh y-yeah.. Room E143?" 

"looks like we have first period together" he said, wrapping his arm around my shoulder as I blushed "Chresanto, but call me Roc" he finished off with

As we sat down in the back of the class I felt girls cutting their eyes towards me. What was their problem? 

I tucked a curl behind my ear and looked down at my binder 

"Hey you got a pencil?" I heard Roc whisper from beside me

"sure" I said, leaning down into my bag, grabbing a pencil 

"Nice view" I heard him say in a low tone, snickering

I snapped my head up

"What?" 

"What?"

I shook my head and passed him the pencil..

Walking into the Art room, hearing whispers as I walked by, I sat next to a girl with Curly blonde-ish brown hair, perfectly matching her skin tone. 

She smiled "Hi" 

"Hey, I'm Zoe" extending my hand as she smacked it away

"I don't do hand shakes" there was a slight pause "I do hugs !" she said as she embraced me into a tight hug

"Tinashe" she said

I smiled, looking down at my worksheet 

"So you're the infamous Zoe all these girls have been talking about" she said as I cut my eyes towards her, with a confused look
