It felt as if time had stopped.
The moment I realised what was going on, I couldn't help but notice what a handsome boy he was. He looked down on me, His golden blonde bangs falling from his face, shading his delicate looks from the bright morning sun. His eyes were a beautiful ocean blue, As if I were actually staring at the Atlantic sea. I could just stay like this forever, Me in his strong arms.
"Hey, Are you okay? I hope I didn't hurt you anywhere". Even his low voice was soothing to listen to. I wonder if he'll be in my class?
Wait! Is he talking to me?!
"Huh?! Yeah I'm totally fine. I-I guess its because I'm new so....". I could feel the heat rush to my cheeks and ears. I quickly got to my feet so I faced him. He was pretty tall compared to a tiny girl like me. Please don't say any thing about my height!
"Ah, your a freshman, aren't you". He said with a welcoming smile.I averted my eyes and gave a small nervous smile. He then stared at me with a concerned look on his face, His head tilted a little. "Are you sure your okay? Do you want me to take you to the nurses office?"
why does It feel like I've seen him before? He has that presence that feels very familiar.
"I'm very thankful for the offer, but I'm okay, really. There's no need to be concerned. And thank you for catching me earlier."
"That's no problem. You should be more careful. Anyway I should be off to class then. See you around, Freshman." He gave a small lazy wave and went off to join two other boys who were waiting for him.
That's the first time I've actually had a conversation with someone and it went well! And he was so dreamy.....
Wait! I didn't even get his name!!
"Well, Just look at, you were practically drooling all over him, You really are just a pathetic little girl ogling up to him, Pulling that innocent act." I turned around to see a blonde girl,that clearly had lot of makeup on, was giving me an icy look, like I stole something from her. There was also another girl behind her, nodding to everything the girl was saying.
"I-No I wasn't, he saved me. I had no idea was he standing there!" I said, Trying to clear the misunderstanding. Is she his girlfriend?
The very pissed off girl stomped towards me, closing the distance between us in two seconds. Yep. I think Its his girlfriend.
"You better Know your place in this school, or else I will do something about you myself. All you need to do is stay away from Andrew Ro'meave, Freshman!" The disgusted look on her face turned into a sly smirk, as if I were competing against her, and she had already won the battle.

I couldn't believe that this was happening to me on my first day : I met one of the most handsome boys in school, and I've already made an enemy (without doing anything but trip). I'm really getting sick of everyone calling me freshman. Its kinda getting annoying. Feeling defeated, I went of to enter the hall where all the new students are.
Huge banners were plastered across the ceiling, welcoming all of the new students ; including werewolfs, wizards and witches, In bright colours. Despite the very dull greys and whites of the building, The beautiful array of colours seemed to lively the place up, making no room for a nervous atmosphere.
Since I have no idea what school is like, I guess I'll just have to ask a teacher. As walked into the first part of the building, I could already see the students mingling with people they seem familiar with. I also saw a lot of werewolf's inside and I have to say, they were all really good looking. Is that all werewolf's or is is just me? I felt like a total looser right now, being the only one who was standing all alone. In the middle, there were a few booths that were set up and huge queues waiting behind them. I found a teacher, A werewolf man who was wearing the teachers uniform, so I walked up to him.
"Uhmm, Sir? I need some help If that's okay" I asked, afraid if I say something wrong I'll get attacked.
"OH! It looks like we got even more little pups joining the school! Welcome, how may I help you, Young one!!" His load husky voice echoed in the room, loud enough for everyone to hear. I felt a little more confident speaking to this happy-go-lucky man.
"Yes, actually I came to ask for help for-"
"Wait! I couldn't help but notice that you were all alone. Do you not have any friends?"
"No I do have a friend, but I don't think he goes to this school...." I stopped talking, realising that he was right. Other than my online ones, I'm alone.
Noticing my reaction, The big fury man decided that that wasn't a very good question to ask,"Well then, I'll help you, forget I said anything. Now then, what middle school did you go too and then I can get your packet for your homeroom and classes."
"Actually.... I was home-schooled...."
~~~
The long hall ways seem as though they get longer every time you make a turn, even with a map, its still confusing, The white and grey colours only make it harder to navigate through the huge school, like running through a never ending maze.
I stumbled across the same row of lockers once again, and finally I gave up trying to look for my homeroom. I knew I was already really late for class, there's no way I'd make it in time. Feeling exhausted from panicking, I sat on the cold tiled floor and hugging my knees close to my chest. I'm so pathetic, getting lost on the first day to my first class! What can be more embarrassing as that! I feared that if i carried on searching, it would take the whole day so i ended up waiting until someone found me.
It was strange, knowing that there are more than two hundred people in this school and you couldn't hear anyone, except the air conditioning going off in the hallway, and the small pitter -patter of footsteps. Other than that you would be able to hear a pin drop.
The small footsteps were getting louder by the second, until there was a presence towering over my small scrunched up body.
"What are you doing, Sitting somewhere so uncomfortable?"The voice said. By listening it sounded like a boy.
"I'm lost and I don't know where my homeroom classroom is" I said,still looking down, a defeated sigh huffed out of my mouth.
"Oh really? Then I can help you, just show me your timetable and I could show you, if you want?"
"I would really like-!"
When I finally decided to look at the person standing in front of me. I was greeted by a warm smile, followed by his green emerald eyes, that could just suck you in. His soft looking chestnut hair had me speechless. Before I knew it, He caught me gazing up at him, his warm smile turned into a smirk, his hand reaching out for mine to grab. Coming back to reality, I quickly took his firm hand, lifting me up, back on my feet. "Don't let these good looks fool you".
"I would really appreciate that, Thank you"Correcting my sentence as if it meant something other than being a 'Thank you'.
The boy then glanced at my timetable and immediately brightened his smile, as he said, "Oh I know where this classroom is. Just follow me and I'll walk you there." As i walked behind him, I could see that he can really lighten up the mood with just one smile.

"I'm really sorry! I probably made you late for your next class, dragging you with me" I apologised, as we stood in front of a class room. The sign saying 202, the loud chattering going on inside made me feel nervous.
"Its fine, I don't actually have class right now, I'm helping with the club activities in the main hall. So I'll see you there?"
"Y-Yeah, I-I'll see you there!" Whoa why am I stuttering!
He gave off a small chuckle and began to walk away, while saying, "You know, That uniform looks good on you"
Did he just say i look cute !! Pink blush was visibly on my cheeks. I couldn't tell if this was the worst day of my life or the best.
