New Beginnings Or Is It?

Chapter 1

She continued. "Obviously judging by your…clothes, you belong to either the nerd group or the loner group. Even then I wonder if any of them would take you under their wing.’’ I clenched my jaw. Don’t hit her. Don’t hit her. I chanted in my head. People were now gathering around, probably enjoying the show. Her two minions, both were nodding their heads at whatever Barbie was saying.

‘’Am I making myself clear?’’ She got right in my face. I bit my tongue to stop from lashing out and gave a single nod. Seeming satisfied, she flipped her blonde hair over her shoulders, her minions copying her actions and strutted away. I looked at the people who were now looking at me, they had the same look as Barbie had a few moments ago: 'Freak' is what it shouted. I just rolled my eyes as it didn't bother me at all if they all liked to follow Barbie's 'rules' and headed to my class. I looked at my schedule and groaned.

I headed off to my Calculus class; the map was pretty easy to read so I knew where I was going. I was right outside the class when the bell rang so I hurriedly made my way in to the teacher. He was a Korean man with glasses, not too old.

‘’You must be Nina. Well, I’m Mr. Lee and I will be your Calculus teacher. Take a seat somewhere.’’

I nodded and took a seat in the middle rows of the classroom but one next to the window. I looked out to see some students still lingering outside. The day was slightly chilly but the Sun still peaked through. A chair scraped next to me and I looked up to see a girl with red hair sit down.

‘’Hi! You are the new girl! I’m Jessie.’’ She smiled at me. So not all people were like Barbie. I tentatively smiled back.

‘’I’m Nina.’’

‘’I know!’’ she beamed at me. Her smile was infectious; her brown eyes held cheerfulness and her red hair bounced every time she talked. I looked forward as the teacher then started the class.

‘’So everyone as you all know, we have a new student. Nina, would you like to introduce yourself?’’

I stood up slowly feeling eyes on me. I cleared my throat and opened my mouth to speak when the door banged open making me jump. In came the sexiest guy I had ever seen. He looked like a model for Abercrombie & Fitch. Strong jaw, high cheekbones, dark brown messy hair and the most gorgeous forest green eyes. I was probably gawking at him when giggling interrupted my inspection of him. I looked next to him and of course Barbie was hanging off his arm.

‘’Mr. Walters. Care to explain why you’re late?’’

‘’Sorry, Mr Lee. Won’t happen again.’’ Damn. His voice!

Barbie giggled again and I had to roll my eyes at her. Mr. Lee just sighed and the infamous couple went to the back of the classroom to take a seat.

‘’Ew. Why is the Freak standing?’’

Mr. Lee looked at me apologetically and I just pressed my lips together. He still wanted me to introduce myself. Urgh.

I cleared my throat again. ‘’Um… My name is Nina-‘’ I was interrupted again by Barbie.

‘’Freak with a British accent.’’ The whole class laughed but I didn’t see what was so funny. I looked at Jessie who she had lips tightly pressed like I had a while ago. I just gave a look to Mr. Lee before sitting down in my seat. He continued with class but I couldn’t focus. It was stuff I knew so it didn’t matter whether I listened or not. I was brought out of misery when the bell rang.
