Alex's POV
I woke up to the annoying sound of my sister's hair dryer. My sister Emily is 14 year's old and thinks her life revolves around her hair and make up, so it never fail's to see her waking up 2 hours early to be able to do her hair and make up everyday before the start of school.
"Alex you need to get up or you're going to be late for your first day or senior year!!" I groan. I don't know why she yells for us when she knows we have a tendency of rolling over and ignoring her, but I decided against doing that today, so I reluctantly roll out of bed and hit the floor.
It was a nice summer while it lasted. I didn't have to wake up at the crack ass of dawn everyday, and didn't have to deal with shitty teachers or shitty students.
I decide on a pair of black skinny jeans and a black Metallica shirt, before walking into the bathroom. I quickly comb out my hair and spray it into place, and brushed my teeth at lightning speed. I grab my shoes, my bag, and my car keys, as I'm walking out the door I yell bye to my mom and sister.
The drive to school was really short, considering I only live about 10 minutes away from it. I pull into the student parking lot and climb out of my car, making the quick walk to my locker.
There are a lot of people you should avoid when it comes to this high school, but even with me avoiding them I still end up getting a target painted on my back by the group of jocks, and one other guy everyone is terrified of, Ronnie Radke.
This year is his third time repeating senior year, and I really hope he decides to pick on someone other than me this time around.
I start walking to class when I see this guy walk through the doors of the school. I've never seen him here before so I'm guessing he's new. He is definitely a lot more attractive than most of the male species we have in this portal to hell.
The new guy looks up and catches me staring, before I could turn away the minute bell rings, bringing me out of whatever daze I was just in. I take off down the hall but not before I turn and get one more peek in at the new guy.
Jack's POV
Great, first day of senior year at a new high school, just what I need. My mom, my sister May and I moved here to Baltimore from New York.
My parent's got divorced so my mom decided that we should get up and move to get ever further away from my father. My father is an alcoholic and isn't pleasant to be around when he's drunk and that wasn't somewhere my mom wanted us to be.
I hurriedly got ready and put on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a plain black shirt.
After I straightened my hair I grabbed my bag and my shoes and hopped in the car with May. By the time we pull into the school I'm gnawing on my lip, terrified that this school is going to be as bad as my last one.
There is one way I can make sure it doesn't happen, and that means I have to shove myself so far back into the closet that I'm in Narnia.
As I walk into the school I'm shocked still, there is a boy with caramel blonde hair, wearing a Metallica shirt. I snapped out of my gaze when I realized he was looking at me.
He shakes himself out of whatever daze he was in when he heard the bell. I groan, realizing I'm late for my first class. I maneuver myself through the hall searching for the front office.
When I walk into the office I see a tall, petite blonde who im guessing is the secretary,
"What can I do for ya?" She asks while twirling a piece of hair between her fingers.
"oh I-I'm new" I stutter out.
"What's your name?" She asks clicks away on her computer.
"Jack Baraka, I need my schedule please."
"Of course, gimme one moment sweetheart." She said as she walked into a different room.
I've been standing awkwardly in the office for about five minutes waiting for my schedule before the lady walks back in.
"Here you go sweetheart, come back if you need any help today" She said as she sat back down in front of her computer. I nod.
"Okay, thank you again." I say as I make my way out of the office quickly.
I look over my schedule to see that I have English first, Math second, Biology third, P.E fourth, Lunch, History fifth, and Music sixth.
As I walk into my English class 15 minutes late, I scan the room for an empty seat and the only empty one is next to a big, buff white guy.
"What's your name hun?" I hear the teacher ask,
"Oh, Uhm, my name is Jack, Jack Barakat" I say quietly. She nods.
"Alright, well I am Ms. Simms, you can sit next to Chase. Chase raise your hand please" The big buff, white guy raises his hand and I sit down quickly, ignoring the feeling of everyone's eyes on me. I sink down in my seat and pull out a notebook to start taking notes.
After about 10 minutes the guy next to me nudged me.
" Yo, you look new here, what's your name?" He asked quietly
"Oh, uh, yeah, I'm new, my name is Jack" I say as I jot down some more notes.
"That's cool, you seem like a cool dude, you're not a fag are you?" He asks, as I cringe at the venom in his words.
" What? No, absolutely not" I said quickly, he gave me an odd look before grinning,
"Let me see what classes you have, " I pulled my schedule out and handed it to him, he scanned it and looked at me and smiled.
"Dude, we have English, Math, and P.E, that's awesome. By the way, you're sitting with me and my friends at lunch today, got it?" I just nod, trying to figure out what I just got myself into.
