I walked slowly down the hallway, clad in my new uniform, bag pack clung to a shoulder and sweaty feet.... I could feel the stares boring holes into my soul...,could feel my stomach churning uncomfortably...
Sighing I reached for the locker that was assigned to me, kept a couple of books and closed it.
"Heyy,
Are you lost?", I turned to see a young guy, he smiled...., thank goodness he was referring to me, indeed, I responded despondently with a nod,
"New student?" I nodded again,
"hmm, what grade", Grade 12 I murmured... well, to his hearing
"ohh cool, what's on your tag", I pulled out a small piece of paper and gave it to him...

"Class, we have a new student, the teacher looked at me, please.... introduce yourself"...,
Hello, I'm Fiona Christein...,
Well, my new school mates didn't look very excited to see me... I could hear their little bickerings and murmuring....
Enough..., not another word in my class,
Fiona..., go take that empty seat behind Stephanie.... Clearly, I didn't know who Stephanie was, but there was an empty seat...
I clutched my bag tightly and sat down, I suppose Stephanie and her little friends were not ecstatic to see me, I could feel their rueful glare.. I wondered why someone would hate on someone they have just met for the first time, seems like Stephanie was going to be my nemesis.....
Thankfully, the class was finally over, I could barely understand what was being taught in class... Stephanie and her minions were not making it easy...
"Fiona", the guy from earlier called me, "I....forgot to introduce myself I'm Geoffrey, Geo for shorts", I nodded and gave him a smile, Fiona, I said, "already knew that", he smiled...
"Would you like me to show you around, when school's over for the day"..... sure, I'll be delighted...."I'll see you later"...
I sighed when Geoffrey left the class, picked up my novel and immersed myself in the pages of the book, suddenly, I heard a sound from behind, I turned to see that I was not alone...
Ohh.. I gasped
He was a beauty...
A mop of dark brown hair, almond shaped eyes, thin lips and a sharp jawline that framed his features..... A powerful leg was over the other, he's sitting position commanded attention...
Suddenly,
He looked at me and I met his steely gaze..., my eyes dilated out of it's sockets and I threw my gaze away...
Everywhere suddenly felt hot, I blew myself and picked up my things.... ...

What a day....
