We both walked down the hall with me tailing behind her. There were a few students around, some leaning on lockers and chatting with their friends, a few waved at Gretel and some had their eyes fixed on me. What the... All through, Gretel talked. I was a bit tempted to look around for something I could use in blocking my ears to prevent them from literally bleeding from having to listen to the girl whose name was Gretel speak.
She's been talking non stop about how fantastic the school is and something about the owners being a group of boys who were musicians and how handsome they looked, how angelic they sounded so on and so forth - not like I was listening, I just happened to not block out this particular information. Yeah she also said their stage name was the Golden boys - not like I care, it just happened to stick. She kept going on and on about it, I started developing a headache.
I held the iPad I was just given in my hands and tried to follow it's directions. Although she already said we were both in same class, I was done listening to her chatter and following her like some baby chick so I decided to take the lead. I decided to find my locker first. The number and combination was also on the iPad. I finally got to my locker with 'Miss' Gretel still tailing along, gosh. I opened my locker and placed my old bag and any other thing I didn't need for my first class.
I closed my locker and continued with the directions to my class on the iPad totally ignoring miss parot who was obviously still following me. I finally found my class which was on the second floor of the building. I stood in front of the door and imagined what it would be like the moment I went in.
I suddenly wish I had a face cap and glasses and a mask, then I could just walk in and ignore everyone but that wasn't possible. I've never been this nervous in my life. I didn't like the feeling. I took a deep breath and held the door handle. At that moment, miss Parot was now beside me, probably waiting for me to open the door so I did.
As soon as I entered the classroom, every bickering stopped and all eyes were now on me and yeah, miss parot too. I could hear some whistles. I felt all the air I gathered leave my system and I found it a bit hard to breathe. I felt uncomfortable from the attention I was getting as I walked further into the classroom.
I felt timid, like everyone in the classroom was trying to invade in my personal space and I hated that. I lowered my head and faced the class as Gret took my hands and led me to a sit at the back. It was near the window and I was glad- at least I could just pretend to not notice the eyes that were on me by looking outside the window.
After a few minutes, a teacher entered the class. We all greeted the teacher, she responded and took out a big note and started calling names to which each student answered. I guessed it was a register. When she was done, I noticed my name wasn't called. The teacher's eyes were now on me. "You're the new student?" She asked and I nodded. " Why don't you come out here and do a quick introduction on yourself." she insisted. I didn't want to but I had to do it so I got up and slowly walked towards the front of the class.
I stood facing the strange faces who had their eyes fixed on me. " Hello, um I'm Melissa, Melissa Moore and I'm glad I get to study with you guys." I said. "Welcome Melissa. We're glad to have you too. I'm this class' substitute teacher, Miss Daisy" the teacher said and I nodded and went back to my seat.
Miss Daisy seemed really nice and I got to know she was also our history teacher . "Don't worry Melissa. I promise that your time here would be the best you've ever spent. Although I still can't believe we are in the same class as Gianna Montes. " Gret whispered to me. "What?" I whispered back. Who's Gianna and why are we talking about her all of a sudden?.
"She's Goldenboy Diamond's younger sister, she's part of the Star girls too and she's really pretty. Speaking of, Did I say how pretty you are? You're very pretty." she added. Now who's Diamond?, What's it with the weird names - star girls,, pfft, I can't take this anymore. She's killing me... Wait a minute, did she just say I'm pretty? Okay now I could feel my cheeks heat up. I'm blushing. Oh my God!
I'm still confused though, about to ask more about this Gianna girl and the Diamond guy when I heard gasps and whistles. I raised my head to see a cute barbie in front of the class. "You're late missy." The teacher said. "That's Gianna." Gretel whispered to me.
Oh, So that's Gianna. Hm. I heard Gret squeal besides me. "So sorry Miss Daisy. There was some mix-ups with my schedule. It won't happen again. " She apologized with a small smile. "Alright, quickly get yourself a seat" The teacher replied her . She walked towards our seat and Gretel's squeals got even more annoying. She sat on the seat at my front and I noticed her pink dyed hair and her matching pink outfit. She was pretty and probably very lively judging from her whole look. She concentrated on what was being taught and I resulted to doing the same, after all, I didn't come here to admire people.
The class wasn't the least boring. Miss Daisy was really free spirited and it seemed the whole class loved her. In a few minutes, the class would end but everyone seemed to be dreading that fact from the look of things. I was starting to too. Who knows if the next teacher would be just as free and welcoming as Miss Daisy. Well, we'll just have to wait and see...
