The last thing I want to do is start at a new school in the middle of the year, but surprise surprise, my parents don't give a fuck about what I want. Don't worry rents' I'm sure I'll adjust just fine, thanks for the concern.

I follow the Vice Principal down the unfamiliar hallway lined with blue lockers, she's chatting away at me and I have to fight the urge to sick my headphones back into my ears. The information she throws at me about my schedule and the school grounds is going in one ear and out the other, I'm too pissed off to listen.

We finally stop in front of a classroom, and the Vice Principal knocks on the door gently before clearing her throat to interrupt the teacher. "Mr. Garanis, this is our new student Nik." Of course, all eyes turn to me and my cheeks instantly heat up so I allow my shaggy blonde hair to fall over my eyes, obscuring my vision of my new classmates. I can't think of anything worse than being the new kid.

"Welcome to Westlawn Nik." The round faced, dark haired teacher gestures for me to take a seat so I make my way to the back of the classroom, feeling all those eyes burning into me as I go.

I slump into the seat, dropping my bag to the ground. The teacher jumps right back into his lesson, thanks for filling me in on what the hell we're learning, I roll my eyes in annoyance. My hand cups around one of my dangling headphones and I bring it up to my ear, pretending to lean into my hand. I stealthy slide my phone from my pocket and turn up the volume - no point in paying attention when I have no idea what the hell this guy is even talking about.

With the music playing in my ear I finally look up and gaze around at my classmates, my eyes instantly land on a cute blonde with bright blue eyes. It's kind of hard to miss her, because she is staring right at me. I expect her to look away when our eyes connect but she doesn't, instead, she flashes me a wide flirtatious smile.

Maybe being the new kid will have its perks.
