If I Could... (Slowly Developing)

Chapter Two: The First Day Part One

"Hello everyone. My name is Mrs. Brown and I will be your teacher for this class for the whole year." Mrs. Brown said - yeah, like that isn't obvious - while looking at everone.

Jess, paying no mind to what she was saying, slowly moves forward and whispers in my ear. "Hey Jax. What do you think of the new girl, huh?

I turn my head slightly towards Jess and nod my head totally disregarding what he was saying.

He whispers again in my ear. "C'mon man, I know what your thinking."

I heard what Jess said, and all I did was put my headphones in my ears, pull my hood over my head and listened to some music - not too loud so no one else could hear it - and just continued to try and ignore what Jess was saying.

After a few minutes of the teacher rambling, she finally finished and went to a closet all the way on the other side of the room from where Jess and I were sitting and pulled out a stack of drawing paper.

I pull the headphones out of my ears while keeping the hood above my head and turn around to see Jess out cold. Damn, I wonder how the teacher didn't notice that though. I thought.

She hands out paper to each row, each person taking one and passing the rest back to the person behind them and the process repeats until the last person receives their paper.

She then reaches the last row where Jess and I were sitting and gave the papers to the girl sitting in front of us - since we were the only three in that row.

The girl received the papers from Mrs. Brown, took one and reached her arm over to pass me the papers. I reach out and accidently knocked the paper out of her hand.

She turned her head slightly to see what happened. I stretched out my other hand and grabbed the paper out of the air before it hits the ground.

Jess suddenly wakes up to see me horizontal in my chair. "Jax? What are you doing?" He says in confusion.

I turn my head to look at Jess. "Oh, just dropped something. See what you miss when you sleep."

Jess looks at me all annoyed. "Hmph, you are something else, Jax."
I get back up and sit in my chair. The girl in front of me looked at me with her golden yellow eyes and I just stared back at her. She then turns back around.

Jess sits up and whispers in my ear. "Well look at you, Jax. Already got a new friend, huh?"

I turn back to look at Jess in annoyance. "Shut up, Jess." I told him.

I turn back around and stare at the drawing paper. I picked up the pencil and without even thinking, I began drawing. I kept drawing and drawing and drawing, Jess behind me trying to annoy me in any way possible - this guy I swear - but I just put my headphones back into my ears and continued.

Mrs. Brown was at her desk beginning to take attendance. She started calling out names. "Jack Alexander." She calls out. I raise my hand and confirmed that I was present. A few other names came. "Jess." She calls. Jess raises his hand. "Over here!!" He shouts. Then after a few other names, the girl who was sitting in front of me was called. "Unique?" She says. The girl in front of me raises here hand. "Here." She says. After that, the rest of the names were called, and we continued to draw. I turned to Jess and ask him what time it was. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone. "8:25." He said. I stare at his phone. "Hey, what type of phone is that?" I say still staring at the phone. Jess looks at me. "It's an iPhone 5, bro." I look back at Jess all confused. "iPhone 5? How'd you get that? They haven't been released yet." Jess looks at me as if I'm stupid. "Damn you forgot already! I told you before that my dad works in a place out of the country - not going to mention where - and is able to get the newest product of everything and sends it to me." I look at Jess and then back at the phone. "Oh.. yeah, you did. Well whatever."

I turn back around as the bell rings. Mrs. Brown springs up from her chair. "Okay everyone! Hold on to that paper and bring it back tomorrow." We got up with our stuff and headed towards the door. The girl sitting in front of me, Unique, was in front of me Jess as we walk towards the door. Suddenly as we approach the door, Unique falls forward and hits the ground. Jess and I were talking and I noticed her fall. I drop my bag and run to her to see if she was okay. "Hey, are you alright?" She doesn't answer. "Hey, Unique?"

She seemed motionless on the floor. I just thought in my head, Oh man, she seems unconscious. I hope she's alright. I look at Jess and he nods back. He drops his bookbag and runs out the classroom to find the nurse. I pick Unique up and put her on my back and start to carry her to the nurse.

Well this was starting to become an interesting, and yet bizarre first day for me. I wonder what will happen next?
