It started with a look. It was 7:40 in the morning and I had just gotten to school. The early September air made me wish I was still at home in bed but unfortunately, like every other kid at Holden Charter School, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and come here. Holden Charter School has 6th through 12th grade all thrown together in one building because the owner is too cheap to separate middle and high school so there's two breakfast periods. The first period belongs to the middle while high school waits outside in the courtyard. As every morning, I walk to the courtyard to mine's and my friends' "spot" where we gather. "Hey Jackie!" My friend Aj called out as I approached the group, "Guess what we have a new kid!" "Who?" I asked. Aj pointed towards the side of the Art and Chorus building and there stood a blonde kid. He looked about 5'5, normal built. He was leaning up against the wall and it seemed as if he was looking for someone. "He's a sophomore, his name is Allen." My other friend Anais said. "How do you know his name?" I replied turning away from the new kid, "Oh he's Kristen's boyfriend." Kristen was Anais's ex-best friend. "They've been together on and off for a year now so I guess he finally decided to be closer to her." She said. As I turn back to look, I see Kristen walk up to him with a big grin on her face. She flips her perfect straight blonde hair back as she wraps her arms around him and kisses him. As he pulls his head back up, his eyes lock on to mine and for a second I was lost in the bluest eyes I've ever seen, before she pulled him away.
