"Oh God." I heard a familiar and very unpleasant voice speak in my direction.
I looked up to see none other than my nuisance of a nemesis, Jasmine Young. That girl despises me even though I've done nothing to her. Me personally, I have no problems with her; the past is the past if you ask me.
"Seriously?" she said, mugging at me before turning to her seat in the front of the class.
"Girl don't start with me today," I said a little under my breath, looking back down at my phone, but loud enough for her to hear.
She looked back at me with a glare. I felt her eyes burning a hole through me as I looked up again to meet her gaze. I made a face back at her letting her know to cut the bullshit. She tried to keep her glare as I remained steady with mines and she turned back around with an eye roll.
The commotion of students coming in was starting to die down as the five minute break period was about to come to an end.
The teacher shut the door as she began introducing herself and passing out the syllabus.
"Hello class, my name is Mrs. Thompson, and I'll be your AP Literature and Composition teacher this year. Now, I recognize most of your faces already and I know many of you have had me before so this year should go pretty smooth yeah?"
We nodded back in agreement.
Mrs. Thompson carried on with her introduction when someone knocked on the door. "It must be someone who's late," she sighed.
I wasn't really paying much attention, for I was on my phone and in my own world.
Up until I heard an unfamiliar, yet pleasant, voice. "Oh hi, you must be the new student everyone's chatting about," I heard Mrs. Thompsob say to her once she opened the door.
"That may be so. Hi," she said in a soft spoken voice. I picked my head up as if I'd known the voice.
There she stood, and gorgeous was honestly an understatement.
I mean seriously, was she created in a lab? Her hair was full of volume and consisted of very healthy sandy brown curls all over her head. She was a little tall and slim but had an undeniable shape.
Her outfit was hard not to miss, too; I was intrigued to say the least. The new girl wore a tan cargo skirt with a cropped graphic tee, stopping just before her belly piercing, and a black cropped jacket over it. Her shoes were the high top platform converse as she also had on gold jewelry.
"You guys this is Lauren Johnson. She'll be joining us, don't be annoying please," Mrs. Thompson pleaded to us, gesturing for Lauren to take a seat. "You can have a seat back there by Sade, I promise she won't bite," she smiled at her.
At the sound of my name my heart immediately began to race, and I have no clue why.
Lauren began walking to the back of the class, making sure to say 'hi' and 'excuse me' to anyone she passed or may have bumped into trying to get by. I simply watched her with discretion and in admiration as she did so. Though I made sure it didn't appear that way on the outside.
When arriving to where I was sitting, she spoke to me in the most polite and sweet tone; I could have melted right there.
"Is it okay if I sit here?" she pointed to the seat next to me in the other row.
"Yeah of course," I said, shifting in my seat. But not uncomfortably. I gave her a small smile as she gave me an even bigger one back.
My cheeks became hot as I looked away, nervous on the inside.
"Hi... I'm Lauren."
Her accent stuck out to me as she turned to me and reached out her arm, for what I would assume is a handshake. I smiled, chuckling a little at the gesture.
"Sade," I told her softly, shaking her hand.
"Oh pretty, I love that name," Lauren tilted her head. She sounded so kind and sweet. "It's nice to meet you."
Her energy was refreshing energy, in an instant almost. Like air the smelled of flowers, or seeing a rainbow appear after a rainy day.
"Thank you," I said meekly. "It's nice to meet you too..."
I made sure to face forward just after speaking. Shy from her hazel eyed gaze and needing to hide the fact that I was blushing.
