Chapter two: New School
*Quinn's P.O.V*
I can't believe we moved I miss my friends already ,and we've only just moved in yesterday. To make matters worse my mom already registered me for school a couple of weeks back. So I still have to go to school today, which I'm pretty sure I won't fit in. I've heard a lot of preppy, snobby kids go there, and I'm nothing like that I like reading and painting, not cheerleading and shopping. I guess I should head downstairs and eat breakfast but first I need to check my outfit out in the mirror.
When I look in the mirror, I see my dark brown hair, fairly tan skin, and sky blue eyes. My outfit is a white tank top, blue skinny jeans, a black leather jacket, and black knee high boots. Unlike most girls I know I'm pretty, but I'm not conceited because looks in my opinion aren't everything. Same thing with your social status, I can't stand people who just concentrate on those things. I have a bad feeling that everyone at my new school will be that way ,if so then I'll be that weird loner girl. Oh well I guess I could be wrong. I head downstairs to see my little brother sitting on the bottom step. He's only twelve ,but he looks older , he has brown hair, sky blue eyes just like mine, and fair skin.
" Hey Kyle is breakfast ready?" I ask.
" Sure is Quinn, were having bacon and eggs." He gives me a wide grin.
" Sounds good where's Ruby?" As soon as I ask this my sister comes stomping down the stairs.
Ruby and I are fraternal twins we both have brown hair ,but that's where the similarities end, in personalities and looks. While I'm more on the short and curvy side, she's tall and skinny but in an elegant way,also she's really pale. She has freckles covering every part of her body, I have none, and her blue eyes are a darker shade than mine. Then there's our personalities, she is the preppy cheerleader type minus the snobby part, and as I said before I'm the artsy type. It's ironic though because we look like we should be in opposite positions or so people have told us. I've learned the hard way not to judge a book by it's cover literally.
" Can you hurry up and eat already I don't want to be late!" She squealed in her usual over girly way.
" Ok let me just eat a piece of bacon then we can head off to our new hell hole." I say with a roll of my eyes.
" You said a bad word." Ruby says looking like she's about to faint.
" Seriously Ruby your so dramatic." I walk into the kitchen and grab a piece of bacon.
" I am not!' She exclaims.
" Whatever anyways let's go." I grab my keys and head out the door to our car.
When finally pull up to school in our red 2010 ford mustang, I see people already staring at our car judging us based on a stupid car, so I guess so far I was right about this place sadly. The school is pretty small nothing too fancy for a supposed rich kid public school. My mom wanted to send us to a boarding school ,but me and my sister convinced her otherwise. I know my mom wants the best for us but sometimes she over does it, for a single mom she's doing pretty well with her job as a Surgeon. My dad died when I was thirteen it's been almost four years since then. He died in a fire, he was working late at his office when the heater caught fire. They tried to save him but it was too late, I miss him so much. He's the one who got me into art and reading, it was something we did together.
We both start walking to the school building and of course everyone is looking at us. None really catch my eye, but when I'm half way there I see a guy standing by his self. He has medium brown hair, big pretty brown eyes, fair skin, a toned body, and a pretty boy face. I'll admit he's good looking but that's not what catches my attention. It's that he's standing away from all the other kids, he didn't even look up when me and my sister walked by like all the other kids did. He seems more distant and quiet than everybody else, he seems like someone I could be friends with. Hopefully he's in my grade, maybe I can make at least one new friend.
I walk into the office right behind my sister, we both go up and ask her for our schedules. Then we separate ways and head off to find our classes. The first three periods off my classes are pretty uneventful and I don't have any classes with that boy I saw , but in fourth period which is my English class I spot him in the back of the room.
I run and sit next to him, right when I sit down the bell rings. The teacher walks in the room he is bald,chubby ,and seems rather nice.
" Class it seems we have a new student, Ruby Rivers am I Correct?" He asks.
" No that's my fraternal sister I'm Quinn." I say annoyed that he got our names mixed up.
" Oh my bad anyways I'm Mr. Clint and welcome to my class." He says with a smile.
After that he launches into his lesson. Ten minutes before the bell rings he leaves the room to make copies of English packets. I turn and look at the guy I saw this morning, this whole class time he has been day dreaming not pay attention at all.
" You know you should really pay attention in class." I say smirking.
He looks at me as if for the first time actually noticing me. He looks a little surprised, but I don't know why. Maybe he was to busy day dreaming and didn't notice there was a new student but I feel like there's more to it.
" You ok there you look like you've seen a ghost?" I ask worried that I said something wrong.
" Yeah It's just your eyes." He whispers with a choked voice.
" What about my eyes?" I question curious why my eyes would make this boy act like this.
" They remind me of someone is all." He says quietly.
" Oh well I hope it's a good someone, anyways my name's Quinn, what's your name?" I ask trying to be as friendly as possible.
" Slade." Is all he says.
" Oh that's a very unique name, way better than Quinn that's for sure." I smile.
" I think your name's pretty." He smiles slightly and I realize it's the first time I've seen him even smile a little bit.
" Thanks anyways I don't mean to be rude ,but why weren't you hanging out with anyone this morning?" I ask but then I feel like stalker.I mean I barely know the guy yet I'm already asking personal things, I've always been a blunt person but never this blunt.
" Oh it's complicated." Slade says clearly wanting to avoid the subject.
" Oh ok sorry, I didn't mean to ask such a personal thing." I say with guilt.
The bell rings then and we both gather up our stuff and go. I'm pretty sure I messed up my only chance of making at least one friend here ,but then I hear someone call my name, I turn around and he's standing right there.
" I really am sorry." I say again
" I'm the one who should be sorry for the way I acted back there, you were only trying to be nice." He gives me a half smile.
" It's ok, what class do you have next?" I ask
" Chemistry, you?" He asks.
" Same." I say for the first time I feel hopeful that maybe I will actually make a friend.
" Ok let me show you the way, to make up for the way I acted." He said walking ahead of me.
To think I thought things were looking up, I was ignorant for thinking he wanted to be friends with me. As soon as we got to our class room, he went and chose a desk far away from me. I think he was just trying to apologize for being mean to me,he didn't want to be friends with me. I looked over at him in the middle of class to see him looking depressed. He may act like he doesn't need friends, but by the look on his face I would say otherwise. I'm not going to give up just yet, I will become his friend and help him through what ever it is he's going through. Since I'm a very stubborn person I could keeping trying for months,a year even. All I know is he will become my friend.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
See I made it longer. Goh this book is sad, I have to admit it is pretty hard to write and it will only get harder especially with certain chapters but others I know will be fun. This one was less sad than the first since Quinn really isn't a depressed person or is she ;o *GASP*. Anyways I hoped you like it and if you didn't leave a comment and tell me why. Don't be rude though theirs a difference between a opinion and being a but muncher :P
