The bell for the first lesson rings as Jane wipes her eyes, dusts her skirt and adjusts her hair. A big smile forms her face as she links arms with me and chatters continuously.

We had already retrieved our timetables and I was checking to see what lesson I had first.
"Jane what lesson do you have first?" Looking at Jane.

"Wait just give me a second..." Jane says rummaging through her bag. "Got it! I have Chemistry with Mr Evans. What!?? No no no" said Jane looking through her timetable again.

"What? What is it?" I said confused.

"I had Mr Evans last year and had learnt nothing during Chemistry!" Jane whines. "I'm going to fail again!"

"Oh..."

"Well what subject do you have first?" She looks at me with her big blue sad eyes.

"Umm... I have English Lit with Mrs Dylan." A burst of happiness surged through me as I realised I was going to be in Mrs Dylan's class again for another year.

I switched on my phone and noticed we had only 2 minutes to get to our lessons. I didn't want to be late. Especially on the first day of the year.

"Jane I better go, the bell already went and we have 2 minutes to get to class! I will see you at break." I said walking quickly to my allocated room.

"Wait!" Jane shouts at the end of the corridor.

"Yeah?" Turning around.

"I said I was going to meet Connor at break. He wanted to introduce me to his friends..." she said staring purposefully on the floor.

I bite my lip to stop myself from arguing "Yeah it's okay. I will hang out with Nathan instead. It's cool." Forming a fake smile.

"Oh thank you Avril. What would I ever do without you." Hugging me for the second time.

"Well, I guess I'm going to drag myself to Mr Evans class. Wish me luck." She said laughing.

"Good luck." But my voice became a whisper as I turned around, quickened my pace with my thoughts only to get to my English Room.

I barge into the room and feel the eyes of everyone staring at me. The second ring of the bell goes off and I breathe a sigh of relief as I see Nathan waving at me. He beckons for me to sit next to him, but before I had a second to process any thoughts, Eva sits next to him instead. I cursed under my breath as I wished I didn't came too late to pick a seat.

There was only a two seated table at the back of the room left, I trudge silently towards the table and place my bag on the floor as I take off my jacket.

Even though I was upset that I wasn't sitting next to any of my friends, I was fine with the idea of no distractions that would  interrupt my learning.

The classroom door opens and the loud voices of excited chatter quietens down as my gaze locks towards a tall boy with the most beautiful eyes.

My heart stopped when I saw him. I couldn't stop staring at him and so couldn't the other girls in my class. Palms sweaty I avert my eyes to the window and hear my name called out. "Mr Scott can you please sit next to Avril Smith." I could hear the rapid beating of my heart and a shiver running down my spine as I sit awkwardly in my chair.

His face lits as though it's his lucky day. Believe me for me it was. He walks gracefully towards the back with the eyes of every student fixated on him.

He smiled at me whilst taking his seat mere inches away. I could smell his cologne and felt dizzy with the intoxicating scent. I could have reached out and touched his hand, although that would have been a bit strange.

I look across the other tables and see the burning eyes of all the girls and boys staring at us...my cheeks reddened.

"Who is he?"
