“Zekey” I heard a faint voice say. I felt something poking at my cheek I turned my head. The person above me grabbed my hand shaking me I immediately wake up grabbing their arm and pulling them down to the ground, bend their arm behind their back. When my eyes adjusted I saw it was Alex below me.
“Dude let me go” he breathed heavily, I quickly get up letting go of his arm.
“Alex I’m so sorry,” I Said putting my hand over my mouth.
“It’s ok dude, I came to tell you you got an hour to get ready.” He said standing up and rubbing his shoulder leaving the room. I rub the back of my neck and walk over to the desk where I set the clothes that were on the bed last night. I grabbed a pair of dark blue jeans and a dark purple t-shirt. I stripped out of the clothes from yesterday and slipped the jeans and T-shirt on. I brushed the tangles out of my hair. I looked around and found a shoebox under the desk i opened it up and inside a pair of white and blue pair of tennis shoes. I smiled and untied the black laces and sliding my feet in retying them. I grabbed the back under the desk and threw all the school supplies in them. I walked out of my room and down the stairs. The sky was getting lighter by the minute as it was coming close to seven.
“Morning Zeke, i have something for you” Ms. Lane said coming into the living room. She handed me a black box with the Verizon logo on it. I looked at it suprised then back at her.
“I can't take this” i said handing it back to her
“It's already paid for no returns, we set it all up and it already has Alex's and my number on it, it's yours Zeke.” She said handing it back i opened the box and took out the black Samsung i swiped on the skull on the lock screen opening it up. I started laughing when i saw the picture of Alex doing a duck face into the camera. I kept it and put the phone in my pants pocket. I looked onto the box again and there was a pair of white apple earphones i grabbed them and also putting them in my back pocket.
“You ready duda” alex said walking down the stairs
“Duda?”
“Yeah, doo plus dad equals duda”
“Ok whatever” i said laughing. He walked to the front door grabbing his car keys on the way lit. Follow him and getting in the passenger seat of the Chevy. He drove out of the neighborhood and turning onto Highway 97, I looked at the new phone in my hand smiling i opened the app store and downloaded facebook and messenger.
“We're here dude” Alex said turning off the car and getting out. He grabbed his backpack from the back sat and started walking to the front door. I got out of the car and walked towards the front doors. When i got to the bottom of the stairs i heard someone yell my name. I turned around and saw a girl running up to me. She jumped ontop of me making me fall to the ground.
“Chelsi?” i asked looking at the girl with blackish looking wavy hair.
“Yes its me how are you” she asked hugging me.
“I'd be better if i wasn't on my ass on the concrete.” i said she smiled and got up helping me up.
Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
“I missed you” she said hugging me. I hugged her back and when she let go she walked inside the front doors I slowly followed her. The minute i walked in there was silence the laughing stopped o did all the talking. People stared at me whispering chelsi must have noticed too because she grabbed my arm and pulled me to a locker.
“Where's your locker” she asked.
“Chelsi I just got here I haven't even had time to go to the office and get my schedule” i explained.
“Well then come on we have 15 minutes before class starts” she says grabbing my wrist and dragging me down the hallway. I don't know if the people moving out of our way we're scared of a murder in their school or the determined look on the captain of the Softball team as she dragged me down the hall. Chelsi isn't short she's taller than a lot of girls but shes 5’9” where i'm 6” so there's not much height difference between us. As we come up to what i'm guessing is the office Chelsi opens the door and walked up to the lady at the counter who looked about 35 and was pregnant.
“Hello Mrs. Anderson this is Zeke Guerrero he's new here.” Chelsi said putting on a smile.
“Ok, here is your schedule Mr. Guerrero” she said miss pronouncing my last name.
“Thank you” i nod and grab the schedule we stepped out of the office and i looked at the schedule, chelsi stood next to me looking at the schedule.
“Oh dude you have biology 2 with me.” She said
“And also you have welding with me.” She said pointing at the classes.
“Awesome, ok my locker is B14”
“Oh that's in hall B it's just across the cafeteria” she said and started walking. I followed her weaving through the crowd. Whispers still filled the hall as i chased after Chelsie She stopped at a locker at the end of a row of lockers.
“This is your locker mine is in C hall” she says the first bell rang.
“Shit i gotta go i have Creative Writing in I hall, i will see you in 3 period she said and hurried around the corner and down a hallway.
“Zeke!” Alex yelled i looked down the hall ne was walking towards me. I looked down and saw he was holding hands with the girl next to him. She had light blonde hair going past her shoulder blades she was just as tall as Alex maybe a little shorter.
“Zeke this is my girlfriend Brandi” Alex said pointing at the girl next to him.
“Nice to meet you” I say she doesn't say anything just nods.
“Ok i mumble and open my locker throwing my jacket in there.”
“Dude mo ficking way” Bramdi suddenly speaks amd grabs the phone that's set in my backpack's side pocket. She flipped it over and looked at the twenty one pilots phone case
“I love this fucking band” she said
“Oh my god she actually speaks” i say laughing Alex laughs to till Brandi gives him a cold glare.
“What class do you have” Alex said as he puts his arm around Brandi.
“Ummm, i have U.S. Government” i said looking at my schedule.
“I have photography with you” Brandi says looking at the paper.
“Dude yes study hall study hall with me seventh period” Alex said the final bell rang signaling we were late for class.
“Shit I gotta go love you” Brandi said giving Alex a small kiss on the cheek and entering the class right behind her.
“Hey i'll see you soon dude i'll text you at lunch” Alex said walking past me. I started walking down B hall i get to room B9 which was my first class i walk in and the teacher already started teaching.
“late on your first day Mr. Guerrero” the teacher said looking at the paper in his hands.
“Well unless you want to stand there all period i suggest you take a seat.” He said i look around the class everyone's eyes were on me i walk across the classroom and to the seat in the corner the dude in front of me gave me a cold glare then looked ahead of him.
“Ok class i hope you all finished your assignment last night” the teacher said. I sit there awkwardly as almost everyone pulls their binders out of their bags.
“Mr. Guerrero right now why i go over with everyone their assignments why don't you and go check out a history textbook.” He said i stand up and walk out of
the class i turn to the left and start walking slowly. After i end up next to my locker i realize i have no idea where the library is.
