Better Alone

Him

Well here I go. Starting at a new high school. Everything I thought I knew I didn't. But damn I didn't think it would get this insane. First day in and he already caught my eye.
He was seated right next to me. His smile was bright and beautiful. But what am I thinking ? I'm not like this. I have never thought about a guy like that. But why him ? Why was he different ?
I shook it off. We wrote our names down on name tags. 'Jerry', that was his name.
One that honestly turned everything upside down. He asked which school I came from. He actually talked to me. Me?!? I was shocked. I forgot to answer. He just chuckled. I didn't know it then but I was definitely blushing.
This guy was making me feel so different. And again I asked, why ? Why him ? I just met him today. What's going on with me ? I told him I came from a private charter school. He just smiled and said, " You must be really smart then". I just smiled. And he smiled back. That damn smile. Smile given by the angels and blessed by god. Who knew I would fall for someone like that. But we talked every now and then during class.
Not deep conversations but enough to get the basics out of the way. It was the end of first period. And that's it. He walked out of class and I was left to fend for my own in this new world I knew nothing about. Now it was time for the real struggle to begin. This damn high school.
