A teenage girl walks towards the doors of a high school building, Brooklyn high school, feeling despondent. She was doing great in her old school but her father just had to get a transfer. Now she had to make new friends, gain a new identity and strive to be popular again which was almost everything in highschool. She opens the door and enters the bubbling hallway.
Who was she to ask help from? A boy having a heated make out, a girl ransacking her locker and looking very frustrated, or a girl walking out of a class and typing furiously on her phone. She decides to go for the girl ransacking her locker.
"Hey"
"Can I help you?", the girl asks, looking up with her pair of pretty marble-grey eyes.
"I'm a new student", she replies and the girl frowns.
"I'll just clear this mess and give you a hand", she says and begins stuffing all her belongings into the locker. "Okay, let's go", she says when she is through.
"You forgot this", the new girl says and bends down to pick a note lying on the floor. Her brows furrow on seeing the note. "That's what you were looking for?"
"Yeah, thanks", she replies collecting the note. "Let's go now", she says and they begin walking further into the hallway.
"I am Hannah, Hannah Porter", the new girl introduces.
"Genevieve, some people call me Genny though".
"I think that will do also", Hannah declares. "So what class are you in? I'm going to be in grade eleven"
"That's my class", Genny replies and stops in front of a class. A boy was standing at the door. "Hey Ricky", she calls and he walks towards them then kisses her before turning to Hannah.
"Hi, I'm Kendrick", he says.
"Hannah"
"She's new here so I'm going to be taking her to the principal's office. Submit my assignment for me, will you?", she says and presses the note to his hand then kisses him briefly. "Love you", she tells him and drags Hannah on.
"Your boyfriend?", Hannah asks.
"Yeah"
"He's cute"
"I know, I mean thanks"
"Hey don't get it the wrong way"
"Nah… I'm no jealous girlfriend"
"Good"
They stop in front of a door after a while of walking.
"So this is it Annie", Genny announces.
"Annie?", Hannah asks and Genny shrugs. "Okay, thanks Genny"
"I guess..... I'll see you around", Genny says and walks off.
Hannah exhales. That was a good start, she thinks to herself then exhales again and enters the office.
Hannah enters the class Genny stopped at before and looks round for Genny.
"Annie!", Kendrick calls and Hannah spots him sitting with Genny. How come he was calling her Annie too, Hannah complains internally but finds her way to where Genny and Kendrick sat.
"Genny"
"You're done?"
"Yes, I'll be having….", Hannah trails off to look at a sheet of paper in her hand. "Anatomy in minutes".
"Ah, I was about to leave for that class, let's go together", Kendrick replies, standing up. "See you later, Genny",he says and heads out with Hannah.
They settle in when they get to the class where the lecture was to hold and the teacher enters minutes later. The teacher is about to start teaching when someone strolled in wearing a black hoodie and Hannah's eyes widen in amazement.
His chocolate brown hair fell across his forehead in baby-like curls and his enthralling blue eyes had a confident gleam. His lips were fresh and so…. pink, gosh he looked totally kissable. Wait Hannah why are you thinking of his lips, she reprimands herself and composes herself.
When she stops staring at him, she realizes she was not the only one. There were several other girls staring at him, some even drooling. He was so worth drooling over.
After the teacher chides him severely, he turns to the class and looks around. His eyes meet Hannah's and he heads towards her. Her heart begins beating erratically despite her efforts to control it. A guy hadn't made her feel this jittery in a while.
He seats on the chair in front of her and turns to her almost immediately.
"You're a newbie?",he asks.
"Is it obvious?"
"No, but I'm sure I know every beautiful girl in this school. No way I wouldn't know a beauty Queen like you", he drawls and she smiles.
"Fuck off Will, you're distracting the new girl", Kendrick grunts and smacks Will's head.
"I think she likes it", Will replies with a smirk.
"Is anything going on there Mr Sylvester?", the teacher enquires.
"Not at all", Will quickly answers.
