When It All Starts...

Time: 8:20

Day: Wednesday

Amiya

I opened my eyes seeing a blurry figure above me. I rubbed my eyes clearing my vision to see Jojo standing over me smiling..

“Wake up, Miya!” I laughed at his enthusiam…Man this kid cant wait to start 7th grade because i know darn well he wouldnt be up this early for some school

"Miyyaaa" “Okay,Okay Im up,big head” I say pushing his forehead playfully he just laughed rushing out my room probably going into antwans which was just across the hall.I sat up letting my feet hit the carpet of my new Bed room floor.Bring my attention to my night stand,I smiled seeing a picture of my Mom and Dad.I picked it up looking at it closely.

“Come on Miya we gotta go!” I heard Craig call from down stairs.I sighed and put the picture back in its original place "I'm coming".

I followed behind Craig and Antwan as they walked through the doors of Henderson High..or our new school…everywhere we turned I saw crowds of people filling the halls.

“Oh im so sorry” I said as my body collided with another girl,she was about my height a little shorter.

“Oh no its okay..”she said getting up placing her books righ side up in her arms just as before.It didnt take long for me to realize Craig and Antwan were no longer by my side.Oh how nice of them,I'm sure you can sense my sarcasm.

“Im Emani..Whats your name?” “Im Amiya but people call me Miya” “Hmm..I havnt seen you before..You new?” She asked with curiousity in her voice.

“Yea I just moved here” I replied clutching my books over my chest.Suddenly the bell rung and she smiled and said “Well follow me, I’ll show you where your class is”

I nodded and followed behind her as she walked through the crowded hallway.She soon stepped in front of a door that said ‘Mr.Anderson’s History’

“Thanks” “No problem” She said waving as she walked away with her black hair swaying behind her.I put my hand on the door knob ready to turn it.Well here we go.As I stepped into the class room everyones eyes landed an me..Well hey,I guess that’s what happens when your new.

“Im Sorry Im late my names Amiya Johnson im a new student” I said turning towards the teacher trying to give a modest smile which i think just turned into a nervous one on its own.

“Right Miss. Johnson,just find an empty seat” I nodded and walked to a seat near the back of the class room.

“Suck up..” a voice said behind me.PAUSE.I turned around to see a boy with two braided pigtails and a beanie snickering along with a couple other boys around him.I simply just smiled and waved at him.He smirked giving me a slight wave back.As i turned back around I heard even more snickering,I pray i wont have to snap this boy in half before class is over…

When it came time for lunch I made my way to the lunch room.See this is my place to be! But I wasn't really hungry (Which is surprising) so I just looked for a place to sit. Then I saw Emani waving to me from a table near the windows.

"So how was a first day" she asked as I approached her. "It was alright.." "What you mean by 'alright' " she said taking a large bite from her apple. I shrugged looking around the cafeteria, seeing that same boy i saw in my class sitting at a table with a group of people.  I watched as he said something earning a laugh from the group.

"Oh don't worry about him that's Rayon Carter," Emani interrupted my concentration "Also known as 'Ray' he's a class clown always looking to make somebody laugh.." she shook her head "I see" I replied facing her once again. It wasn't long until a boy about Six foot,one greeted us.

"Hello," he said pulling up a chair sitting backwards in it. He had a fairly short curls that poked out the bottom of his bucket hat in which sat on top of his head.

"Why don't you go and prance your big head somewhere else?" Emani exclaimed rolling her eyes bothered by his presence, while I was completely confused.

"Whatever Emani, I ain't say anything about you and your bad hair day, now did I? " Emani mugged him "Don't think its too early in the year for an a*s whopping" she spat as he got up pushing the chair in. After watching the two exchange death glares for about 2 minutes I decided to ask "Who was that?.." watching him walk away from our table to another across the room.

"That.was Roderick,he thinks he's a 'big shot' around here" she rolled her eyes once again obviously annoyed. "Oh, well doesn't seem like two are very fond of each other" I smirked. "Damn right" She agreed. I laughed continuing our conversation until the bell rung signaling for our next class. "C'mon" she said getting up walking to throw her food away. I followed her, until we were once again in the crowded hallway.

Time:1:30pm

Roderick

"Hello," I said sitting backwards in the chair I recently pulled up. "Why don't you go and prance your big head somewhere else?" I rolled my eyes looking in her direction.

"Whatever Emani, I ain't say anything about you and your bad hair day now did I? " I said standing up, pushing the chair back under the table. After having a mean mug war with Emani I decided to leave their presence.

"Dang Roc, you pullin the new girl already?" Tyler greeted me as I approached our table.

"Uh-Oh fellas, you might want to watch you laides.." Kaleb smirked. I laughed shrugging slightly.

It wasn't long before the girl followed Emani to the far end of the cafeteria. Her eyes roamed the room.Her eyes...a soft hazel that seemed to make wonderful contact with the light. I smiled as her eyes glistened with curiosity, when we made perfect eye contact. She looked at me for awhile, until Emani pulled her out of my sight.I sighed, leave it up to Emani to ruin a moment.
