Love At First Sight

Laura's POV

*Insert Alarm Clock Noise Here*

I stop my alarm from making the noise that's pounding in my ear. It was so loud I swear my ears are beginning to bleed from lack of sleep I had gotten last night. I was overly excited for the first day of school, like, who isn't?

It's finally the first day of school. Another year I get to spend being a stupid nerd, it's not actually so bad. Everyone calls me a nerd because I ace every test, study a lot and read books in some of my spare time. But I'm not good at science. And I really don't understand why.

Oh, I'm Laura Marano by the way. I'm in grade 11 and I'm 17 years old. I have like no friends. Probably because I just moved and this is my first year at South-Brook High school. I live with my older sister Vanessa who is already done school.

I was sad at first of moving because I had some really good friends back where I lived but I had to leave. My sister Vanessa got the part for some show called Switched At Birth. I don't understand why it's such a big deal. I bet no one watches it, anyway.

I got ready and slipped on a purple tee, light-washed ripped jeans, a sweater wrapped around my waist, Adidas for shoes and headed to school. Once I got inside I went to the office to get my class and locker information. The walk to school wasn't far, just a few blocks and then bam I'm here. Magical, isn't it?

"Classroom twelve first, my locker is apparently just down the hall from where I'm standing right now." I told myself, earning a weird glance from other students walking by. Guess people don't talk to themselves nowadays, huh?

I walk over and try to find my locker. When I reached it, I put my things in and close my locker. When I close it a see a tall, blonde haired, cute guy right beside me putting his things in the locker next to mine. He had silky blonde hair, a nice smile and was very tall. Almost 6 feet. Did I mention he was cute?

"Hey, I'm Ross." He said, holding out his hand for me to shake. At first, I might have thought he was talking to someone beside me or someone behind me but when I looked around there was only the two of us in that area of the halls. When I realized I was being rude, I took his hand in mine and shook it.

"And I'm Laura, by the way." I replied, earning a smile showing his pearly whites in return. I let my hand fall to my side and waited for him to say anything else.

"Are you new?" He asked, tilting his head only slightly to the side and showing a deep-thoughts-look plaster across this innocent face. He looked like a freaking puppy, he's so adorable.

"Yeah. Do you mind showing me around?" I hoped he would say yes because maybe this is my new bound friend for the rest of my life or something and we will have the strongest friendship in the history of ships.

"Not at all." He smiled once again. The breath that I was holding was released and a wave of relief coursed through me, making me etch a smile on my face, just for the heck of it.

"Thanks. I have class 12 first." I addressed him, praying that he either had the same class or even knows where it's located. Oh my gosh, praise.

"Me too. So maybe we can walk together. Since I already know where it is. "

We look into each others eyes and then I look away, not wanting it to be awkward or anything. I met him literally like two minutes ago and I'm already starting to feel butterflies forming in my stomach. Stupid hormones. I don't even understand why they're fluttering around like that.

"Okay."

We walk down together and tell each other about our selves. We soon arrive at class 12 so we walk inside and see like almost no one inside. And class is starting in about 2 freaking minutes. Maybe this school like delays classes?
