I stood there fidgeting with my fingers waiting for the owner to come and descend on me.
"Why is the new girl standing beside Alina's truck?" a blonde girl whispered to her other friend.
"Hi, I'm Betty," a girl in glasses and bracelet teeth introduced herself.
"Hello, I'm Nancy. I must be in trouble, right? Is Alina friendly?" I asked curiously.
I was scared. I had no idea what this Alina girl was going to do to me.
Looking at how people were pitying me I should expect the worst from this Alina girl.
I wished I had insisted, in fact, begged Dad to let me homeschool.
It's too late to regret now.
"Nancy I'm sorry to break it to you but Alina is someone you should never cross paths with. One time a girl stepped on her accidentally she broke her legs with just one push. The girl is now in a wheelchair," she announced adjusting her glasses.
Now I'm scared I shouldn't have asked.
"What the hell did you do to my truck?" a husky female voice said from behind.
She was already angry like a wounded animal ready to attack its prey.
I was lost in my thoughts. She pushed me to the ground and started bouncing my head to the car.
"I will pay for the damage. I'm sorry I didn't mean to!" I said out loud in a trembling voice, then I realized it was all my imagination.
She analyzed the damage and took a step closer to me and I took a step back. My heart was racing.
I didn't know if I had to run or just stand for whatever she had for me.
"You must be the new girl. Did you see that signpost over there?" she yells as she points at a signpost that reads 'the Williams' now I see, I wasn't even supposed to park there in the first place.
I'm in bigger trouble than I had thought.
Four huge handsome guys came around her. I was told there were her brothers. Mark, Matthew, Morris, and Boris in that order thanks to Betty who whispered their names in my ears. They were huge and good-looking but scary as well with one glance at them I almost peed on myself. Luckily I have self-control so I didn't.
Oh no, I'm in much deeper trouble, what are they going to do to me now? I had thought.
"I'm sorry I didn't see the signpost and I'm….."
"Of course, you didn't see, the new girl is blind," she said out loud as the crowd laughed.
I had tears in my eyes as she made fun of me, "break my legs already, let this concert end, I can't take it any longer," I had said to myself.
I raised my head and spotted 5 handsome guys walking by, I must say the school does have fine handsome young men.
As I stood there, my eyes fixated on the trio, I couldn't help but feel enchanted by their presence. The one standing in the middle had a certain allure that drew me in, beckoning for my attention.
However, as they passed me by, my heart sank as no one stopped to offer their aid. It was as if I was invisible to them, just another face in the crowd. Defeated and hopeless, I resigned myself to my fate, knowing that I was at the mercy of the woman in front of me.
I lowered my head in tears, waiting for her to make her move. But just when I thought all was lost, a savior emerged from the shadows. He stood tall and strong, and with just his presence there, everyone scattered away. I stood in awe, watching as my hero came back for me. I couldn't believe my luck, and my heart overflowed with gratitude.
Despite the danger, he had the courage to stay by my side and protect me. With him there, I knew that I was finally safe.
Including Alina's brothers. Alina was enraged. It seems I just made a powerful enemy on my first day at school but I made a powerful ally as well or it's too soon to call him an ally? who knows?
The voice, gentle and concerned, broke the silence. It asked, "Are you okay little girl?" The sound of the voice stirred something in my memory, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Despite feeling a little shaken, I managed to reply softly, "Yes, thank you."
"See that tall, white building on your right? Head over there and you'll be able to pick up your class schedule manual," he said, gesturing towards the towering structure. I nodded in agreement, quickly slinging my bag over my shoulder before dashing off in the direction he had indicated.
