Chapter 1

It was autumn when i started 7th grade. I kicked a leaf out of my way. It was my first day. I twirled around and felt a gust of wind brush me. I laughed as i stared at the grey clouds. Could i be careless forever? I was free from my old school at last. Maybe i would get a friend. Maybe i wouldnt be lonely after all as i had imagined all summer. Someone tapped me on my shoulder. I turned around and stared into a strangers eyes. Class is going to start soon, she said, whats your name. i mumbled, oh um, my names Thea. How about you, i proceeded to ask. My names Jackie she said, im going to class 1b. Im going to class 1a, i said. Well see you around she said and smiled. She quickly turned around and ran towards the school. It was a weird feeling not being stared at and talked about. I liked it. I liked this feeling of freedom. I twirled again and ran towards my future. As i entered the classroom i was suddenly nervous again. I took a deep breath and set my first foot on the wooden tiles. I looked up and saw a bunch of new faces. Quickly i scanned the room for free places. There was only one free seat next to a girl in the back row. I felt a gaze in my back. In my corners of my eyes i felt a boy stare at me. Did i look weird? I ran through my hair with my fingers and sat next to the girl. It was a weird hour. I glanced at her and she glanced back. I rested my head on my hands as the teacher explained some stuff. Thea? Was this a dream. Thea? Huh. I looked up and everyone was staring at me. What was going on. The teacher said i sould introduce myself. Uh.Okay. I stood up and pushed my chair back. Hi, my names Thea and i like drawing. I sat back down and hid my head in my hands. Damn this was embarrassing. I glanced sideways and saw two boys sitting next to eachother. It was funny to see the comparison. One was tall and one was short. The short one had his head tilted towards the window and had a bored expression on his face. The tall one was looking at me. I looked away. At last the damn class was over.

I stood up and left. My footsteps echoed on the floor as i walked away. My heart beating fast, my hair flying. I mustve looked crazy. But he mustve liked it. I heard a person following me. I ignored it. That was my first day i guess. Kind of boring. I entered the bus. I watched the cars drive away. Suddenly i noticed a boy driving a bycicle. Wasnt he from our class. I stared at him as he swung on his bike and our eyes met. I kept looking at him as the bus drove away. I couldnt take my eyes from him. It was definitely a new feeling for me. I was unsure if i liked it or not. My stomach fluttered as i looked out of the window. He was definitely interesting. It started to rain. The raindrops fell down and burst on the ground. Honestly, it may sound strange, but it was kind if fascinating.
