Strings Unattached

one.

"God,shut up!"

The two strangers stared at me.They stopped strumming their guitar and were now glaring at me.Yeah,I know I'm pretty so shut it.

I walked through the hallway ignoring the shitty noiuses made by shitty students.I just hate gossips,popular kids and basically,everyone.At this point,I'm just living because I can't die.

"Hey,four-eyes!"At least there's one thing  love about life;a friend.

"Hey Amber.So we up for bowling tonight?"I asked,"Yeah uhm..about that.."

Amber sighed,"I'm inviting Jackie along,would you mind?"Oh yeah,and she's the one sighing.I've always hated Jackie.That girl may be a friend of Amber,but Amber's mine and only mine.Not lesbian-kind of mine,but I'm basically the one in a third wheel.Also,she slays at singing.I just hate that.

"Sure,yeah.Whatever.Call me when she's done feeding kibbles to her cute little demon."

Amber poked my cheeks,later pinching them as I squeal."Come on,be good.Jackie will only follow us until we reach the bowling centre.She'll probably mingle around somewhere else."

"Yeah,and by that do you mean 'anywhere with guys or mics'?" Because Jackie is a bitch.Offense intended.

"I thought you didn't like to gossip?" 
"It's okay when I'm the one doing it." I am so shameless.

We giggle as we walk to our first period;homeroom.Ah,homeroom.The only period I can actually live.We sit down on our chairs where Amber is just 2 seats ahead of me.Mr.Forges walked into the classroom and everyone shushed up.

"Okay chowderheads i've got some news for you.Our class just won an award for the worst class of 2014."

Woohoo.Yay to chowderheads.

"Fortunately we have a smart and sophisticated new student who just moved here from San Diego."
"But sir,the year is almost ending."Amber spoke.

"And how I wish the world was ending instead.His name is Noah Schneider.Come in,Schneider."Mr.Forges called out.Only silence filled the classroom.

"Uhm..Schneider?Mr.Noah Schneider?Please come in,Noah."He called out repeatedly,but to no avail.

Dude's late on his first day.Bravo for Mr.Smartypants.

Mr.Forges sighed,"That rotten kid.Anyway class,just know you'll have a new classmate from today.Okay,moving on.."

"This kid must be a genius if he can get away from Mr.Forges.I have got to take notes,"I heard Amber say to her seatmate.

Yeah,who wouldn't want to learn from a new kid we barely know of let alone his face.I stared outside the window as Mr.Forges continued with his boring usual announcements.I found myself staring at the place where they store unused school equipments aka the 'Doghouse' as our students like to refer it to.The lights were up but no one was in.No one could have possibly entered there because it smelled like wet,stinky socks.

"And next up is-"
"Present!" A boy's voice was heard.

"Ah..Mr.Noah Schneider.I hope you have an explanation for being late to school on your first day."Mr.Forges glared.

Then new kid walked in,with his slightly damp brown hair and his breaths that sounded like he was going to die.He wore a blue v-neck plain tee and baggy skinny jeans topped off with a pair of black sneakers.

Hmm..not bad for a smartass.At least he looked decent enough not to be bullied.

"You left me behind after you saw the Principal.Therefore I thought I should know my way around the school more.I went to the place where they store unused school equipments.Fancy place there,"Noah explained playfully.

Mr.Forges rolled his eyes and turned to the class,"Okay kids.This is Noah Schneider.Introduce yourself,son."

Noah cleared his throat,fixing his posture and standing up straight.

"Hey,I'm Noah Schneider and I just moved here from San Diego.My dad's job has him working almost at every part of California so we move around a lot.But,my dad decided to finally drop his job and open his own store here in Beverly Hills.Uhh..I love music.You guys can come visit me anytime to hear me sing and yeah,that's about it.Thanks."

 And I thought we had a smart guy in class.Turns out it was just another..male.

Amber raised her hand and asked,"Are you single?"

The whole class chuckled at her question.She asked all the boys in class the same question,and it was on Valentine's Day.Amber definitely has her way of asking things,even the inappropriate ones.

"Have you seen a fellow as good-looking as me?Of course I have a girlfriend.Her name's Jackie.She's pretty and she can sing and.."

I rolled my eyes as I let out a small grunt.Jackie's a pro.She already got Noah's heart.Well,they both did suit each other.I mean,they're both musicians and rotten brats.

"Okay,that's enough,Noah.You can sit beside Maya,"Oh joy.I'm sitting next to a brat.I can finally cross that out from my bucket list.

Noah walked and let out a grin towards me  as he sat down.The awkward turtle I am,I received his grin and stared back at the window,hoping to see some other things that will get my attention.Noah poked my shoulder and let out his hand.I turned around.

"Hi,partner.I'm Noah Schneider!"He introduced again.
"Maya Connor."I grinned again.
