"Oh as if you can do it" I say trying to control my laugh but not succeeding at all. Shaun responds with a irritated expression,"you know I'm not good at maths"

"Yeah maybe if you stop being cocky I'll help you" I say laughing at his irritated expression .

"Just go to class" he responds walking the opposite direction.

Listening to his command I walk off to class with a huge grin on my face. A girl with ginger hair and small freckles thinks I'm grinning at her , responds with a flirtatious smile and a wink. I start chuckling softly because the only reason behind my huge grin is my friends irritated expression.

The thought of Shaun's irritated expression disappears when all of a sudden a tall fair-skinned girl with thick black hair comes crashing into me. The blue packet of Doritos she held come crashing down, some Doritos escape from the packet and make a huge mess on the floor.

"What the fuck bruuh, stick to your left" she says irritated.

"Why should I? " I ask irritated myself.

"Because its the fucken school rules" she says then storms off to her class

"Well sorry" I mumble

I don't think she heard my apology as she was too busy acting like a drama queen.

I walk off to my class irritated and confused. Irritated because she came running down the corridors like a crazy person so it's her fault she bumped into me.

Even though I didn't keep to my left we both could of avoided the accident if she walked like a normal person.

Confused because this is the first time a girl acted in such a rude manned towards me. More than half of the girls in this school were acting like my servants. I guess I am their next hot guy since I'm new around here. Nobody really knows me, every girl is trying their luck to be with me but she is different and not in a desirable way.

The second bell rings signalling that I'm late for my art class. "Did you get lost Leo?" Mrs Hunter asks with a concerned look on her face. "Yes mam" I say walking towards my seat. She beams at me. "Hey , how come he doesn't sit on the floor?" Andrè asks giving me a wicked grin. "He's new around here , he doesn't know the school well yet" Mrs Hunter responds sitting down on her chair.

Andrè punches my shoulder playfully and says, " after six months , you won't be getting this special treatment so enjoy it while it lasts"

I chuckle at his words. A moment later Sydney comes running into class.

"Sorry I'm late." She says
"On the floor " Mrs Hunter responds without looking up.

Andrè gives me a look and says "you see what I mean"
I laugh at him.

A moment later Mrs Hunter lifts her round face up and says , "ok class, today I want you to all take out a piece of paper and then draw anything that will symbolize how you feel right now"

She gets up from her chair and starts walking around the class. "I want to see everyone working , no talking ." She says focusing her last few words on Andrè.

Andrè shrugs off Mrs Hunter's words and takes out a sharp pencil. He startslightly sketching a fragile looking leaf blowing freely in the wind.

I on the other hand have drawn pink lips with a tongue sticking out that looks like green prickles with sharp pointed thorns. Drawing soothes my soul.

The bell rings and everyone scatters out of class.

"What pissed you off?" Andrè asks as we walk out of class.

"What makes you think I was pissed off?" I ask

"Dude, did you see that prickled tongue you drew" he responds fixing his school tie.

"I was kinda pissed off cause of this girl" I say , " she just crashed into me then starts acting all dramatic and cussing me"

Andrè laughs lightly and says " maybe she wants you."

I look at him blankly "Did I mention the part where she cusses me"

He continues to laugh, " yeah you mentioned that, but just because she cussed you doesn't mean she doesn't feel a little somethin somethin for you"

"Man you crazy" I say walking into the males changing room. As I take out my basketball kit Shaun joins us with a huge smile glued on his face.

"Someone's happy today"  Andrè says with a teasing tone.

Without removing the huge smile on his face Shaun says, "Skye just gave me her number"

Andrè and I start clapping our hands and we both say at once ," after three months ! , congratulations man" then we both starting laughing loudly at him. Shaun gives us an irritated expression and says " well at least I have the hottest girl in the school's number , what do you have?"

"She's not the hottest"  Andrè says , " have you seen her feet , she has man feet"

I start laughing at Andrè as he stands up and starts stomping his feet like a gorrila.

"When she walks I feel like we're about to have an earthquake,  her feet are bigger than mine and I'm a size 11"

I laugh so hard I start getting stomach aches.

"You see this is why Samera dumped you " Shaun says tightening his black takkies.

In a matter of two seconds Andrè's smile is wiped off his face. I change the subject by telling Shaun about the crazy girl who came running into me earlier.

Shaun cracks his head off , " I don't feel for you bro , you deserved that "

"But don't you think the girl wants him ? " Andrè asks

"Oh here we go again" I say making my way towards the sports field .

"Maybe she just has a weird way of showing it " Andrè says walking in sync with me ,"you know you're the new ladies man around here"

Basketball practice goes by fast. Too lazy to change into our uniforms we start walking back home.

Shaun and Andrè turn left heading to their homes. I continue the long walk alone. A few minutes later I reach my home , number 45. I walk up the neatly paved drive way then open the modern wooden double door of my home.

As I enter my little sister who's only seven years old comes running into my arms.

"Leeoo!" She exclaims

"Hey you" I say softly messing up her soft hair. She lifts her short arms up in the air showing me she wants to be picked up.

Even though I'm exhausted I tickle her small stomach then swing her round and round before placing her around my neck. She giggles with glee. We make our way to the lounge.

"Hey mom" I say walking towards the couch she's sitting on.

"Hello sweetie" she says with a sweet smile , " getting use to your new school ?"

I place Samantha on the couch and say " Yeah its pretty amazing , I'm getting use to all the insane rules"

My mom laughs softly , "I'm sure they aren't that strict" she says I raise my eyebrows at her  " you have no idea mom" I say taking my bag and walking towards my room.

"If you're hungry dinner is ready"

I drop my bag in a hurry and rush to the kitchen . Sammy laughs at my reaction.  "You have no idea , how hungry I am" I say making sure my voice is loud enough to be heard all the way from the kitchen.

To move from Richpark to Morningside was not an ideal situation for me. After my dad got a job as an Architect in America he decided it was best he moved us to Morningside. Which is a better neighbourhood than Richpark. With its neatly paved roads, a variety of vibrant restaurants and clean quiet parks it was deffinetly eye catching for my parents.

Working in New York gave my dad ample opportunity to provide us with our dream home. The house is made of brown bricks with huge crystal clear glass Windows and a wooden double door with metallic door handles at the entrance. It has spotless marble floors. The entrance leads to the large lounge with soft black couches , though mom preferred white couches we couldn't have them becaue of Samantha who would easily leave her hand prints on the couch. A large flat screen T.V. decorates the light blue walls of the lounge. The kitchen has grey granite counters and is well equipped.

Transferring from Waterfall College to St. Peterson High School was not that challenging. I already knew two people there , namely Shaun and Andrè . I grew up with them and I had to be separated from them at the age of 13 when dad moved us to Richpark . Now at the age of 18 we are reunited.

Where I live depends on my dad this is why I never allow myself to deeply connect with someone becaue I never know when I'll be separated from them.
