Pov: Leah
When we got to class, I saw the Ruth Bennett. I ignored her. There was a empty seat next to her. I sat next to Asher. There was annoyance in Ruth's eyes but I didn't care.Pov: Teacher
"Good Morning everyone, we have a new student, plzz introduce yourself honey". "Hi everyone I'm Leah Smith, I'm from Los Angeles, I recently moved here with my mom"."Okay thank you Leah for introducing yourself to the class, I hope everyone will be nice to you, you may take your seat".
Pov: Ruth
I looked at Leah with annoyance while she was heading to her seat. Why did she have to sit with Asher, I mean there was an empty seat next to me.*11:00*
It was finally lunch time. I watched Leah go to the cafeteria with Asher. I also went to the cafeteria with my group of friends that followed behind me. While we were eating I kept a close eye on Leah. "Uhm, Ruth are you okay, you've been watching the new girl for a while now?, yes I'm fine", I answered with an annoyed tone.*AFTER SCHOOL*
*15:00*
I looked for Leah, I found her waiting by her locker. I went up to her. I showed her around the school, and told everything she needed to know about the school. By that time everyone in school had already left except the security.A few minutes, we heard a locking sound and the lights went out, the security must have thought that everyone left.
Pov: Leah
I started to panick because it was really dark and i had nyctophobia (a fear of the dark). Ruth looked calm. We then heard a strange noise. I wrapped my arms around Ruth. I could feel her heartbeat, it was beating fast.I started hyperventilating. Ruth took my hand to calm me down. She caressed my hand, strangely I started to calm down. Then she hugged me. "Don't worry everything will be okay", she said in a gentle yet reassuring voice. Then I layed my head on her chest.
*2 HOURS LATER*
*17:03*
We heard the security shouting, he must have forgotten something, he saw us, he quickly let us out. We were so relieved.Pov: Ruth
I looked at Leah, she thanked me for calming her down. I decided to walk her home since it was already dark.While we were walking we started talking. She told me about herself and I told her about myself. We arrived at her doorstep. She nervously said goodbye to me then went inside.
I then walked home. When I got home I layed on my bed. I looked at the ceiling while thinking about Leah. I knew that I had feelings for her. Then I fell asleep.
*THE NEXT DAY*
I went downstairs to eat breakfast, which was 2 fried eggs with potatoes.I finished breakfast, then I went upstairs to my room to get ready for school, then I went to school.
Pov: Leah
I woke up late today so I didn't have time for breakfast, so I quickly got ready for school, then my mom drove me to school.
