i opened my eyes and squinted trying to adjust to the sunlight that flashed through the curtains. i slowly got up and adjusted to the light while i opened up the curtains to reveal the acres and fields of grass behind the house i was staying in. i yawned and sluggishly walked over to the bathroom and glanced at myself in the mirror. messy brown hair, pale skin, and huge eye bags. so much for looking good at school today. i used the bathroom and got changed into black baggy pants and a blue hoodie. it was always cold here i've heard so i didn't bother to put anything under it. i walked downstairs to grab a bowl of cereal and grab my backpack. it had notebooks and binders and anything you would need for a normal class. i grabbed my phone and walked outside to my car pulling out of the gravel driveway. as i left and started driving to class i passed by miles upon miles on pine trees to the right side of the street, the side my house was facing. after a 10 minute drive through foggy streets and cloudy skies i finally saw the parking lot of the school. kids talking beside their cars, some reading, some of the obnoxious loud kids probably pushing each other into cars and laughing or what not. those kids annoyed me the most but i ignored it and parked farthest from the school trying to avoid as many people as possible.
i sat in my car for about 5 minutes before looking at my phone to check the time. it was close to the start of class so i quickly walked out of my car and put in headphones. being a new kid at a school was never ever fun. as the headphones in my ears drowned out the noise i kept my head down towards my feet and passed by all the obnoxious kids in the parking lot. i entered the building going to the front office to get my schedule. the lady was sweet and quickly gave me my schedule as if she didn't i would have been late.

Math first, definitely not a subject i was good at. i'm more of an english person but that doesn't really matter right now. as i walked in the class a few people looked at me, some not noticing. through all the eyes i scanned the room and noticed one particular guy 2 seats back all the way towards the window on the side farthest from the classroom door. i don't exactly know why i noticed him first, probably because he was starting at me like i was some kind of... meal? i'm not sure if that's the right word but i couldn't really think at that moment considering he was staring right into my soul. his eyes were piercing and dark. scary even. i didn't look for longer though as i heard my teacher next to me say he was going to introduce me to the class. great. so much for staying on the down low. i looked up and scanned the class before finally saying "uhm hi i'm george, and i moved here from england yesterday." i looked up to the teacher for approval to sit down before he chuckles "that explains the accent, you can sit over there by the window" he points right next to the seat next to the guy i looked at before. right as he said that the mans face froze and he looked definitely upset about it. what the hell did i do?? why was he so upset about me sitting there?
i walked over at sat down next to the man taking off my bag and setting it gently on the floor. i glance up at him hoping to at least get a look back but he didn't even flinch. he just sat there keeping as much space between us as possible obviously uncomfortable. i looked back down in annoyance and had my mind all over the place the rest of class. i didn't notice that the bell even rang until the man guy i was sitting with got up as fast as possible and nearly speed ran out the door.
(DUDUDUDU)
in annoyance i huffed and rolled my eyes picking up my bag and walking out the door to my next class. english. i wasn't exactly excited about english but i was happier than i was with math. i sat down next to a kid with brown short hair. he was skinny and from the looks of it a lot shorter than me. he glanced at me once when i sat down and stopped talking to his friend. "hi! i'm jack manifold! but you can call me jack." he said happily. great. now i'm going to have to deal with this all year. "um hi." i said boringly. he didn't seem to mind that i didn't really care for the conversation. he was annoying anyways. "i'm exited for class are you? you can always just hang out with me and my friends." i barely rolled my eyes and said "not really. and thanks for the offer but i'll pass." i said coldly. he didn't seem to care and continued talking to his friends as he was before and before i knew it the final bell had rung and the class day was over. finally i can get out of this shithole. surprisingly i didn't see the guy i did in math the rest of the day which was strange, but i wasn't really paying attention either, he's just as annoying as the other kids name was. i put back in my headphones as i walked out the door and walked to my car. the same guy jack tried to get me to go over to him and his annoying group of friends as i walked out. i ignored them and kept walking while getting a "what the hell?" from one of his friends. I didnt really care though. i dont need friends anyways. im fine by myself.
i got to my car and quickly started driving away. no need to stay longer than needed right? as i was driving i didn't think about much just the day in general. my mind crossed the guy that i sat by in math a few times. why did he hate me so much? why was he in such a rush to leave? it honestly kinda hurt seeing he was so uncomfortable even when i did nothing. i sighed and pulled up to my driveway getting out and walking in trying to get out of the cold. it was mid october so it was almost winter meaning nothing but pure cold. as i set my coat up on the hooks in my house i went to grab a snack and go on my phone. i scrolled on instagram looking at a posts from my old friend i lived in england with. he was sitting with his new friend he met after i moved away. not gonna lie it hurt but i still kept in touch with him. he was my bestfriend... how could i not? he was bound to get more friends sooner or later. i liked the post and commented 'swag as always eret!' i wasn't like that with many people. i only ever joked with eret because hes been with me since day one. i went through a depressive state and he really helped with that. i was never a usual happy person but he brought out the best in me. he told me about his new friend floris he met that was in the photo. he seemed like a nice guy. eret said he came up with the nickname fundy which made me laugh. i guess i didn't realize how much i missed him till i was in near tears. as i finished my snack i wiped my eyes and went upstairs and laid down on my bed turning off my phone. i closed my eyes and let out a shaky breath before sitting up and going on the computer in my room to finish homework. as i finished the last problem in my math class i yawned and stretched in the chair looking down to the clock reading 9:13. ive been doing homework for 6 hours? i sighed and got up going down to make myself a burrito to quickly eat before heading up to the bathroom to shower and brush my teeth. as i stepped out of the shower i gust of cold wind passed by me leaving me in shivers. i walked to my room at a fast pace changing into pajamas and crawling in bed. since i have nothing better to do i might as well go to bed early.
i layed down pulling the covers up and closed my eyes. as i was drifting off to sleep the only thing i could think of was that stone cold look that guy gave me in class. i don't even like people that much so why was i thinking about him all day? maybe because he had to be over the top rude for no reason. but it didn't stop there either. he was in my dreams too. why? i couldn't tell you. that one class was stuck in my mind replaying over and over. hopefully he will be in class tomorrow so i can figure out what's up with him. could i get by him and figure out what happened in class?
