I had gone up five flights of stairs before entering the correct classroom. I wasn't out of breath but Joseph had given me a run for my money. I wasn't extremely happy that I had had to change schools but things were looking up, the redhead girl downstairs was extremely friendly. She and Sierra had made me feel welcome. I was certainly grateful they had called Joseph to help me find my classroom. Otherwise, I might have spent 30 minutes trying to find the damn thing. The redhead had forgotten to tell me her name but I knew I wasn't going to forget her anytime soon. Her green eyes and red hair would make anyone envious, however I, wasn't. Instead I felt something else. I knew I was attracted to her. Of course I was. I was attracted every girl that was nice to me. I'm gay and I own that. However, I knew this was probably going to be wishful thinking. It always was. Gosh I'm pathetic.

I made my way to the teacher's desk, "Mr. Effray?" He looked up from his screen and I took that as a sign to continue. "Hello, I'm new and this is my first day". He sighed and gruffly said "why are you here now? Back to school was a month ago. You're going to have to catch up missy." With that he told me to sit down and he started his lecture, barely sparing me another glance. Fifteen minutes later a knock on the door was heard and my heart jumped a little as I saw the Redhead enter the classroom. "Excuse me for disturbing your lecture Mr.Effray but I'm afraid there's been a mistake, Kiera is supposed to be in my classroom with Mrs. Harrison".  She smiled at me and I felt heat rushing to my cheeks. That feeling, however, was stopped when I noticed Mr. Effray's harsh stare. "Why is that Miss.Daniels?" She shuffled around a bit and explained that if I were to be in his class then my schedule wouldn't be correct and I would miss english class. I didn't care what the reason was, I was just glad I got to go with Red. I apologised to Mr.Effray picked up my things and followed Red outside the door.

When I believed we were far enough from Effray's classroom I gushed out, "thanks Red, you saved me from that lunatic." She laughed a little, "he's not a lunatic, just peculiar. I had him last year and a moment with him was never dull". She slowed down a little, "hey let's not rush. I don't particularly enjoy lectures". I looked at her a little, her hair was tied up, and I just wanted to run my fingers through each strand. Feeling my stare she turned her head, "what?". Caught red handed I decided to tell the truth. "I like your hair". She smiled and pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "Thanks, wait a second did you call me RED?" I laughed, it took a long time for her to react to her new nickname. "Yeah, I don't know your real name." Chuckling along she stuck her hand out, "Rae". I mimicked her actions, "Kiera but you already know that". We came to a halt, she knocked on the door, and entered. I silently muttered, here we go again.

Mrs. Harrison was a lot more formal but she had made the same remark as Mr. Effray. I needed to catch a month's worth of work. Frowning, I bit into my sandwich. Rae was talking to another guy across the table, she had introduced him to me but I had already forgotten his name. She seemed to know everyone, something I couldn't relate to as I'm used to having a small circle of friends. "Rae?" She immediately faced me, a smile on her lips. Her eyebrow was slightly raised as she waited for me to formulate a sentence. I am so awkward around girls, I blame the fact that I'm a hard core lesbian and that girls are amazingly hot. "Right, I was wondering if you could help me with what I missed since the beginning of school. I know it's a lot to ask, but could you just send me pictures of notes, I don't want to bother you or anything and" I started to ramble and I could see her smile widening. She cut me off, "Of course, I would be happy to! You know what, why don't you come over to my house during the week-end and we can go over it together?" I could feel my heart racing as I accepted. A whole afternoon, alone with a beautiful girl? How the hell was I going to survive?
