My head was rested on the palm of my hands, my eyes occasionaly drifted shut only for me to open them again. I was in maths and trying to stay awake, which was harder than pi equations. My eyes closed on their own accord again, but this time they stayed closed. My stomach rumbled for the millionth time today, i really fancied a pizza, or a burger... Mac and cheese? With lots of peppe- A loud smack of a book hitting the table came from next to me which caused my eyes to shoot open. I heard the screech of a chair being pulled out next to me and looked to my side.

who is he?

A boy with messy brown hair sat beside me. He wore white earphones and has slight stubble on his chin, i've never seen him before. Was he in my year? "Quit looking at me will you?" He kept his head facing forward but plucked his earphones out and opened his book in front of him.

"Who are you?" I questioned, wondering if he was new.

"Alex. Now will you stop looking at me?" He raised his eyebrow as he repeated himself, I turned my head to the front of the class and wrote down notes in my book to distract me. Why does he look familiar? Why the heck would he sit next to me? Is he seriously the same age as the rest of us?

"Astrid, seeming your so busy staring into space answer the question." Mr. Leroy's voice caught my attention.

"What?" Oh... could you repeat it?" This caused a few snickers to go around the room, as well as sir himself.

"Name the first 6 digits of pi, you did revise it didn't you?" He waited patiently for my answer.

"Oh, yeah i did. 3.14159... i think" Nervously, i rubbed the back of my neck knowing too well my face was most likey bright red right now.

"Correct" He nodded in approvel. "Pay attention in my class though, Astrid." I nodded back to him and quickly averted my eyes to my book.

"Your names Astrid..." The guy next to me asked. "why do i recognise the name.." He questioned to himself and widened his eyes when he must've realised. Quickly he calmed back down when he noticed i was staring.

"Do i know you?" His reaction had confused me. Actually, i was slightly creeped out.

"Urm.. no. I don't think so." He laughed awkwardly, looking at me for a split second then looking away again.

"ok..." Was all i replied with and went back to my work.

Finally, the bell rang throughout the school and i got up stuffing all my classwork into my bag and walking out of class. Looking around i spotted my best friend, Chrissy. She waved at me and rushed over. "Guess what!" She squeeled excitedly.

"What?" I couldn't help but smile at her.

"There's two new guys at school. I haven't seen them yet but everyones saying that they're so hot!" My smile deflated slightly and i groaned at her. "You didn't let me finish yet! Here's the best part. Apparently they are in one of the biggest gangs of new york. Mysterious." She wiggled her eyebrows at me.

"Is that why you were excited?" I fake yawned and patted my mouth to which she laughed. "Now please can we go get some food, im starving!" I pleaded, dragging her to the food hall.
