The new beginning

~~~ Chapter 3 ~~~

Recap:

Well for a fact, Jake doesn't like exercise much, but he knows he's gotta do it for getting the hot girls flanking him, and as far as I could see, at the moment, Bella was on my brother's list.... And I guess I am on Ben's......

God!! This is gonna be an awkward yet awesome stay... And I'm sure of it......

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We reached Camp Springs High in like 15 minutes. The school was bustling with a hell lot of people. Jake and I had to go and get our timetables and so Ben and Bella briefed us about where we could get the timetables and went to meet their friends. We were walking in silence ,taking in the scenario around us.

"He's got some hots for you sis'!!" Jake said, breaking the silence.

" Who?"

"Ben"

"Mmhhmm.. So?"

"Well, he's cute and..."

"....And..."

"...You guys could probably make out together... You know....."

I punched Jake." Keep drea...mm...ii..nn..ggg....." And I stopped mid-sentence. I saw him then, and knew instantly that he's the one.

"What happened Ruth?? Reconsidering???" And when Jake looked at me, he was puzzled. I was standing in the middle of the hallway, gaping (mouth closed) at the handsomest guy in the school and my brother did not realize that. He asked, "What?" Then he saw.. A handsome guy with floppy blonde hair, blue eyes and an utterly gorgeous smile. Jake smirked and said, " Get in line sis!!" " What?" I was abruptly pulled out of my thoughts." What line?"

" Looky there!!" And Jake pointed out to a group of girls who were drooling over Mr. Handsome.

My heart sank. I snapped back to reality. None of it is gonna work.... Strong competition..... I turned to look at Jake and this time, he was giving the very same look I gave when I saw the hot guy except for, that stupid little smirk was still stuck on his face. I didn't need coaxing. I followed his gaze, and there was this really beautiful girl talking to the hot guy. Both of them had carefree looks and were just talking away as if they were the only ones there.

A few seconds later, Jake's amazed look turned to one of disappointment. The same as mine..... She had great following too. So, eventually we did the best.... We ignored them and walked to the school office to get our timetables. We got our locker numbers and the corresponding keys to those. 

My first class was Biology and Jake's was Math. I walked nervously into the classroom and there was our teacher, Mr. Wilson. I walked in straight and didn't look around until I handed in my form. As Mr. Wilson took a look at my form, I glanced around the room. Ben was there, a few people I had seen earlier, and wonder of wonders, so was Mr. Handsome....... I wolf- whistled within my head. But immediately, I remembered the line...... Chuck it!! Then Mr. Wilson called my attention and said," Hello Ms. Stewart. Nice to have you here" "Thank you Sir. The pleasure is mine." I hoped it didn't sound too formal or practiced. Mr. Wilson gave me a bright smile and said," Now let's find you a good partner ....... How about Mr. Watson?" I looked confused and tried to look for the nerdiest guy in the room, 'cuz it's with them that new admissions were usually made to sit with. But to my surprise, he pointed to Mr. Handsome. Covering up my excitement, I walked, calm and composed, to sit next to my new PARTNER..... God, that sounds soooooo goood. As I walked throught hte aisle, I heard other girls whispering,

" He never lets us sit with Watson!!"

"Are you serious??"

"What's wrong with him?"

etc......

I left all this at bay, and joined "Mr. Watson"

"Hey", I said. I thought he would just smile and turn away, given the earlier circumstances in which I saw him. But yet," Hey! The name's Drew.Drew Watson. You are?" "Ruth. Ruth Stewart." "Nice meeting you." "Same here."

I could smell fumes arising from different parts of the room, not literally, but yeah, I could feel the look of a couple of eyes on me. It felt weird, yet good...... And the rest of the hour went pretty well with Drew warming up to me. Well, I dunno what to say.....
