Lost and Finding My Way

Chapter 2 - Hell Get's A Bit Better

Chapter 2 - Hell Get's A Bit Better

When I walk into Mr. Link's room I don't see anybody I know well and only two empty seats. One seat is towards the front of the room next to a large group of friends. Most of them I've seen around before but I couldn't tell you any of their names.

Sitting with them is two people I've never seen before. A boy and a girl that look a lot alike. They seem to be twins.

The other seat is in the back of the room, next to other loners that won't try to talk to me. Normally it would be my automatic choice, but I hesitate. Briefly pausing I look towards the group of friends. They look nice enough, and I've been saying for years that I need to make some new friends.

I look back to the loner section and think about how I secretly hate that I feel the need to sit back there. But it's always been where I feel comfortable. Perhaps I need to feel a little less comfortable. I turn to the front of the room and make my way to the empty seat.

Now I don't want to seem like I'm socially awkward. I just never had the motivation to try and fit in anywhere.

I have no idea what is motivating me now.

I sit in the seat that is second from the front, third from the side of the room where the exit is. I glance back over at the group I noticed when I came in.

Mostly everyone involved in the conversation has their chairs moved around one cluster of desks. In the middle of it all, I assume, the new kids, the twins.

Normally new kids are nothing new and quickly blend into their destined clique as though they've always been here, but there's something different about these two. I almost get a cool vibe from them.

Not cool in the way that popular kids would see it but in a way that they have more going for them than sports and whatever the latest mainstream trend is.

That's not a they have going for them. They also have great looks, which is probably why the leaches were so quick to latch onto them.

They both have a certain beauty to them with their dark hair and grayish eyes. It's the kind of beauty that doesn't catch your eye right away, but when it does, it consumes you.

They don't have the sharper features that I've grown used to seeing, but have an almost child like look to them. Not to say that they look young. In fact they look like they could be older than the rest of the grade's 15 or 16 years.

I hate to say that what they look like is what is alluring about them, because it's so much more than that. Even though appearance it is a part of it, it's more in the way they present themselves.

The boy, with a slightly more defined jaw line gives a confident but not cocky personality. His sister has a more laid back, I don't care what you think, but also almost shy look.

Yet they work so well together, like two individuals, great by themselves, forming together to make one better person. They balance each other out and work as a team.

Mr. Link walks up to the front of the room silencing the class. He continues to with the usual fist day of school speech.

This is how I think this class will go. I will be the teacher that will finally teach you something. But I hope you payed attention last year because everything will be based upon what you never learned before.

Normally I would be thinking along the lines of "How are you expecting be the one to teach us if we never payed attention to the basics" but for once my mind is not on the teacher or how flawed our education system is.

My mind is on the twins. I don't even know their names yet and I can't get them out of my head.

I try to choose which one I like better but it my head won't allow it. It feels almost wrong to choice. It's like their unity is in breakable even in my thoughts.

Alone neither one would escape my notice and would most defiantly be in my every thought. But they way it is now, seeing them as one, has made it impossible to think of one without the other.

Before I know it Mr. Link has moved from the front of the room long ago and the bell has rung.

I watch as the group of friends leave the room. The twins linger back from the crowd slightly and leave together. I am the last to leave.

Making my way through the halls I realize that I have to go upstairs for my study hall.

I haven't had a study hall since middle school since I took a lot of electives last year. This year I only took art so I have to sit through one excruciating hour of nothing everyday.

When I walk into the room I'm not surprised to see that I have no friends in the small study hall. I sit in a random empty seat that isn't close to anyone and get out my copy of the complete works of William Shakespeare.

As the last few walk into class right before the bell rings conversation picks up between a few. The most annoying is David, the class clown and the village idiot all wrapped up onto one package.

He is talking to Chis and Devon. Two people that don't seem to really like him but tolerate his presence because he makes life interesting.

I tune them out and go back to A Midsummer Night's Dream. I get lost within the pages but am brought back to reality by a tap to my shoulder.

I turn to see a girl. I think her name is Carley. She's on the soccer team with Jess.

"Hey Emma. What are you reading?"

I smile at her and tell her in a polite tone. Carley and I have never been close but mostly because we don't ever have classes together and when we do she always hangs out with the popular kids.

I would think she would be hanging out with Devon and Chris. She's probably over here because she doesn't like David.

"So girl, how have you been?"

"I've been ok."

"Oh that's good" she nods.

"So, how come you aren't over with them." I point to the three guys sitting diagonal from us.

"Oh you know, just tired of hanging with the guys. I need some girl time ya know?"

She's never had a problem talking to the guys before. She's sporty and easy to get along with. She's just the type that can talk to and relate to anybody.

"Oh yeah, I get it." I don't get it though. I've never been one that could hang with the guys, so I've never had the problem of not getting enough girl time.

The conversation is getting awkward so I'm glad when the bell rings signaling that its time for lunch.

Getting up I say goodbye to Carley and head to the stairs to go down to lunch.

When I enter the zoo that we call a cafeteria I immediately find Sara and sit with her.

*Hello everybody! So I wanted to write more but I'm tired and I really wanted to update tonight to here you go! Hope you all enjoy and I want to thank everybody that has been reading.

Also a special thank you to everybody that has commented or messaged me. You've been a huge help!

And another thing, @CrazyManiacTeen @FreakishGirl and @XxAmaymay_StevexX I'm like freaking out because I actually have followers which I was not expecting so early on so thanks for that too!

I especially freaked about @XxAmaymay_StevexX because she has 2,423 followers and is only following 7 people and I'm one of them and I was just totally over the moon when I saw that so yeah thanks!
