Today is the first day of sophomore year and rumours of this super dark and mysterious soul has been spread around school. Apparently they've just recently moved from New York to michigan and enrolled at my school.

How fun..

Anyway this year im focusing on school and education, relationships are just too much work and extra effort I dont want.

"Pearl come down for breakfast," my Mum, Mrs daniels, shouts which makes me snap back into reality and rush to get ready. I put on a nice plain white button up top with some plain medium wash jeans and add my beloved white air forces and head down stairs not bothering to wear makeup, planning on stealing some of my friends.

"Hi Mum good morning," I retort looking around at what I'm eating for breakfast.

Pancakes yess

"Hi darling have you greeted your Dad yet and have you woke up your brother you know he's still asleep" Mrs daniels asks looking rather tired.

Why am I to have my breakfast ruined to go wake up my brother, I thought but I wouldnt dare say it in front of my Mum.

Dragging my feet upstairs, I decide to scare my brother awake by banging on some pots and pans but due to a miracle, he was actually up, dressed and ready.

What???

In all history of school my brother has never been up this early, maybe he actually wants to do good this year?

Well there goes my plan to scare him awake. Who would've thought the only time I want to prank him he's awake.

Going back downstairs, I scarfed down my breakfast, kissed Parents cheeks goodbye, before rushing out the door and off to school. I decided to be quite early wanting to see my friends.

Entering the school doors i cringe at the sudden loudness compared to the outside.

Its too loud for Monday morning.

As i was heading over to my locker a sudden rush of cold wind blows behind me, which was then followed by a sharp pain shooting up my shoulder.

Oww what was that for.

"Excuse you" I shouted rubbing the sore area on my shoulder, the person doesn't even stop..

How rude.

Instead they just keep walking until they get called over by a teacher. "Mr Smith so good to finally see you, I hope you are enjoying this school," The teacher exclaims awfully jolly for it being MONDAY MORNING.

Why is everyone so jolly, am I missing something???

Being the rude person they are they just carry on walking like nothing happened.

I feel bad for the teacher, he just got ignored.

Wait...

Mr Smith??? As in new boy from new york Mr Smith???? As in the boy everyone seems to call 'ice boy'??

I think because no one actually knows his name.

Wanting to not ponder on it any longer, I decide to go and find my friends at the same spot we claim every year.

The spot by our lockers>>>

I stroll towards the lockers where my friends are standing.

As I am walking, Lilah shouts my name so loud that it shocked me down to my core "PEARL YOUR HEREEE," she shouts sprinting over to me as if she was getting chased by a dog.

"Have you heard," Riley asks walking towards where me and Lilah were standing.

"Heard what," I respond as I furrow my eyebrows in confusion.

What the bloody-

"WHATTTT what do you mean heard what, the new guy ice boy," Lilah cuts me off, wiggling her eyebrows as she says the words 'ice boy'.

What a weird nickname to have. Does he like turn things to ice??

"Oh ye him hes acc rude and annoying, I don't think I like him he pushed past me and he hurt my shoulder then he...."

"guys???" I say as Lilah and Riley stare blankly at me with their mouths dropped open.

Riley's head shifts up a little higher to look at something behind me. Then I feel that same cold breeze.... Him...

I turn around slowly wincing as I realised he must have heard everything I said. My mouth drops open too mirroring the expressions of my friends.

We all stood there watching as he collected his things from out of his locker.

Oh boy

"I'm so sorry its just that you pushed past me and hurt my shoulder and your very tall and scary and like you ignored the teacher and he's actually quite nice-," I stop myself as I realise I'm just rambling on and that might make him more annoyed.

"I- im- i didn-," I try to continue after realising he doesn't say anything.

"Save it," he utters in a cold deep voice, he finishes up and slams his locker door shut then walks away lifelessly.

Whoops..

I turn back round to my friends, hands to my head in embarrassment.

I've been here all of 20 mins and have managed to embarress myself and also potentially make someone mad at me.

Great..

"Wellll," I say almost in a whisper as Lilah snorts and Riley shakes her head.

"Its not my fault I didnt mean to," I snap back trying to defend myself from the horror of what just happened.

We all chuckle slightly and walk off towards our first lesson Dance.

Thank you for reading my first ever chapter.

I really hope you enjoyed.

Dont forget to comment and give me advice.

This book isn't really planned and is off the top of my head so sorry if the plots bad or it doesn't make sense.

Id also like to point out that I've always been bad at capital letters for names, after full stops and places so I apologise if I miss some but ill try my best to not.

Again thank you.
