Chapter 1 - Chapter 1

"Wake up Paris," My Mom shouts from downstairs. I groan and shot of bed and yawned," I'm up Mom', I said.

I checked the time and realize it was 6:30 in the morning. I went into the bathroom and brush my teeth and took my bath in the bathtub, I got ready for school, I decided to wear high waist black jeans and white crop top with converse and I have my hair tied in a ponytail. I took my school bag and strode out of my room.

When I got to the dining room, my parents were already eating their breakfast.

I walked up to them, "Good Morning Dad, Good Morning Mom", I kissed their cheeks as I greeted them. They chorused "Good Morning Paris", as I sat down to eat my food of Mac a' Cheese. I ate my breakfast silently and in a few minutes I was done I got up to head to school ."Mom I am heading to school now, bye Dad",I waved.

My Mom drove me to school in her car . it was my first day of school after the summer break. I was nervous as my we arrived at the school gate. I hopped out of my Mom's car but not without waving goodbye. As my Mom drove out of my school. I looked at the big school sign PRESTON HIGH. I heaved a Hugh sign and strolled from the school parking lot to the school hallways. I looked on as students were all passing through the hallways and some greeting their friends they haven't seen through out the summer. As I got to my locker to take the subjects we are having for today, I felt someone cover my eyes. I instantly smiled, I know who that was.

"I know it's you", I said to Eva.

"Argh, you are no fun", She groaned.

Suddenly she hugged me tightly and I responded equally.

"I missed you", She said in-between hugs.

"I missed you too Bestie",I answered.

And of course I missed her so much, I was lonely without her during the break. I have no other friends apart from her. Unfortunately, she had to go to Miami with her family.

When we broke apart, I asked to about her trip. Then she told she told about all that happened there as we went to class. The bell rang a minute ago. She already got me my schedule. I'm having English this morning, it is my best subject and I can't afford to miss it. We are having the same subject.

I took my seat at the middle of the class with Eva sitting right beside me, just in time when Mr Ben walked into the class. Mr Ben is our English teacher, he is so smart, thoughtful, understanding and generous. I called the rooster of the class.

"Jaden Smith"

The boy answered, "Present Sir"

"Paul Norman"

A boy with glasses at far end of the class answered too, "Present sir"

"Eva Petrakis"

He called and my friend answered, "Here Sir"

"Paris Anderson"

He called me and I answered, " Present Sir"

And he called of the school like that and they answered him equally.

The lesson that day 'Phrases and Clauses'. It was a very interesting topic and Mr Ben was patient enough to explain properly to students that didn't get it the first time. And the after about forty minutes the class ended and everyone is headed to their next class. My next class was Chemistry but Eva was having History.As i walked to my Chemistry class and I bumped into someone, as I looked up, I met eyes with a pair of brown eyes.

"I'm sorry", I apologized.

"It's okay"

"What's your name", he said

"Paris"

"Nathan"

"Nice to meet you", he held out his hand to me and I shook his hand.

"Where are you headed", he asked

"Maybe I can accompany you"

"I am actually headed to the Chemistry class", I said.

"Oh really, I am headed there too. "Maybe we can go together".

"Yeah, sure", I replied.

We walked to Chemistry class together and I wondered if Nathan was new because I haven't seen him around before.

"Not that you noticed anyone else apart from Eva", my subconscious told me.

As we walked, I noticed that he has a dark brown curly hair coupled with his brown eyes. He has a straight nose with a chiseled jaw and he was wearing a white plain top with dark jeans. He is good looking and humble.

His voice jolted me out of my thoughts.

"We are here", he said.

I looked to see we are infront of the classroom. I entered and he followed after me. I took a seat at the back of the class and Nathan sat beside me. I took out my note and waited for the teacher. Then Nathan decided to involve me in a conversation.

"Hey"

"Hey", I replied.

"So what do you have after this class"

"Physics", I said

"Oh, I have Maths afterwards"

I decided to bite the bullet and ask the question that I have been on my mind since I met him.

"Are you new here", I asked

"No, I started since last semester".

I immediately felt guilty, he is probably been in some of my classes and I never paid attention

"Do you know me"

"Yeah, Paris Anderson", he smirked

"I have been in few of your classes before ".

"Wait if you know me, why did you ask for my name ", I asked.

"I wanted to properly introduce myself to you", he said.

I didn't know what to say and when I thought of what to say I was interrupted by the teacher coming in. I then mouthed to him that this conversation isn't over.

I listened to the lesson even though I didn't understand anything. Physics isn't really my best subject.

And after some minutes the class was over. And the bell rang, it was time for lunch.

I plan to continue the conversation with Nathan but he seems he was busy talking to the boy beside him. I made a mental note that I will talk to him later.

I headed to the cafeteria and I met Eva there at our usual table. I brought out my lunch of Bacon and a sandwich. I munch on my food and watched Eva eat her pizza she got from the Cafeteria.

"Hey", she said

"Hey

How was classes", I asked

"Boring"

I chuckled, typical Eva.

I told her about Nathan

"Is he hot?", she asked

"Well kinda", I hesitated

"What do you mean kinda", she scoffed.

"Let's talk about something else", I insisted.

Then her eyes widened, and she said "Do you like him"

"What! No", I almost shouted.

"Then why", she persisted.

"Just drop it , okay "

Then she nodded reluctantly. I heaved a sign of relief. Eva can be very persistent if she want to.

Then the bell rang for lunch over. I hurriedly left to class to avoid Eva asking me questions. It is not that I don't want to talk about it. It is just that I still felt guilty about not knowing him. And he is the only male friend I made my whole life and it still feels weird. I just don't want to talk about it, I hope she understands that. The rest of the day went in a blur and then the closing bell rang. I haven't seen Nathan nor Eva. I hope isn't angry with me. I walked out of class to go to my locker and drop my books. I walked out to the parking lot. I will call Eva when I get home or I will talk to her tomorrow. I called a taxi . I told him my address. "12 Avenue".

I stayed quiet the whole ride home. I paid the driver and proceeded into my house. My parents aren't back yet. I decided to make pancakes. I ate and freshen up in my room. Then I decided to continue I was reading till my parents are back. I didn't know when I slept off. I woke up and my parents were already back. They are both lawyers. I decided to meet them downstairs.

Mom was already preparing dinner.

"Hi sweetie"

"Hi Mom"

"How was your day"

"Fine Mom"

I greeted my dad

"Hi Dad"

"Hi honey "

"How was work "

"Fine honey"

Then we all talked about our day while we ate dinner.

"How is Eva", mom asked

"She is fine mom ", I answered.

"Alright Mom , Dad, Good night", I said

"Good night", they both said simutatiously.

I went upstairs to my room and changed into my pyjamas. I laid on my bed and drifted off to sleep with the thoughts of my day in school.
