Chapter 5: Fantastic.

I had been wondering for at least 20 minutes trying to find my class.?

   By the time I find it It'll be time for the next. I sigh and accept the fact that my pride would have to sit this one out and that I had to ask for help.

   Sensing another presence in front of me, I stop and while still looking at my schedule I ask, " Would you happen to know where Mr. Hanson's English class is?".

      "You just can't get enough of me, huh?" A familiar voice says. My head shoots up to see Ethan.

I immediately walk away only to be pulled back.

     "Hey, hey, hey! What's the hurry I didn't even get to tell you where Hanson was ." Ethan says with a mocking smile.

My eyes dart around for other people but no one is in sight.

   I sigh shakely and defeated.

      "I'll find my way." I say.
He chuckles and shrugs.

    "Good luck, you won't even have time to introduce yourself by then." He says. I roll my eyes, getting tired of his patronising tone.

   "What makes you think I want to be introduced?" I say in a challenging tone.

    "Come on, you walk in with the most popular people in the school and don't expect people to want to know who you are?"
He asks. I roll my eyes once more.

     "From what I've heard you're  the most popular person in the school." I say.

He scoffs and crosses his arms over his chest.

     "Popular? No. Feared? Yeah. Why? Have no clue. So do you want help or not?" He responds. I sigh one last time and look at the clock.

       I shake my leg anxiously and look back and forth from my schedule, to the clock, to Ethan.

"Tick...tock...tick....tock.." He teases. I groan and look one last time.

    "Fine!" I shout stubbornly.

"Fine? Fine what?" He asks with a smirk.

    "I need your help." I say rushed. Before I could roll my eyes again he grabbed my schedule and a second later he was dragging me by my hand up the stairs. There on the stairs is where we saw students. Some smoking, some sitting and some just talking.

They all look at Ethan and I' s intertwined hands. Probably all thinking "who is that girl?".

I roll my eyes at our hands, wanting to yank them apart, but knowing he will probably just pull it back.

"Here we are." He says. I look in the classroom that we are standing in front of and see the class walking around conversing. I sigh.

   "Thanks." I say and reach for the knob.

      "Wait! Woah woah! I didn't even get your name." He says holding my hand away from the knob.

     "Thats because I didn't give it to you."
I say and walk away. I lied when I said he was "plain" he was....he was, gorgeous, but he DID NOT look like a bad boy. He looked like a...as corny as it sounds...a lost boy.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

  I am now currently waiting on Gabby and Michelle at my locker so they can show me to the lunch room. This was the moment I'd been waiting for. To meet their friends and have a great first impression.

     All my other classes started off as me introducing myself and sitting down. I realized I have 3 classes with Ethan and even a class with Sarah, Drama...haha of course.

   Even though I have these classes with Ethan he never showed up to one. They called his name and marked him absent. I don't have any classes, but P.E. with
Michelle and Gabby, and I haven't even gotten there yet.

     Im just praying I don't have a class with Seth or Travis.

    "Hey! Earth to Samantha!" I hear someone say. I snap to reality and look to see Gabby clapping in my face. I roll my eyes and push her hands because she didn't even notice I was paying attention now.

   "Oh, sorry." She says. I just laugh because she always looks so goofy.

   "Come on guys." Michelle says. She had an annoyed look on her face, Gabby shrugs and I just follow them not knowing where to go. Gabby finally brakes the ice and asks Michelle what's wrong.

    Michelle responds with a shrug and then finally bursts into anger.

  "What the hell is wrong with you? Holding hands? Holding hands ,with Ethan? Are you crazy? Are you trying to get killed?" Stuttering, I fumble back, surprised by her angry tone.

    How did she find out about this? How could anyone tell her if they didn't know my name?

   Ahhh, I get it, 'the new girl', that was my title, that's what they said and she knew.

    Now how was I going to explain this to her? She probably won't care, the rule was stay away from Ethan and I broke it.

    "I got lost and he insisted on helping me and nobody else was there." I say.

Michelle rolls her eyes and Gabby crosses her arms.

    "I thought you said you'd be okay by yourself." Gabby says.

     "Yeah, but I wasn't. I mean...its a whole new building!" I exclaim.

     "Fine. Just make sure to STAY AWAY!" Michelle exclaims.

I nod in agreement as we finally make it to  the lunch room.

    We head to the lunch line and grab some snacks. I bought a slice of pizza and an orange soda. The twins grabbed the same thing.
    
     "So, we sit over there. You'll find out for yourself, but a warning to you... Emily is a very, very, very stereotypical blonde and George is a very, very, very stereotypical fuckboy." Michelle warns. I nod as we make our way to the table.

       As we get to the table I hear all sorts of squeals and 'I miss you's' and 'omg's'. Then after I was done cringing I saw that all eyes were on me. At least all eyes at the table.

     "Sooo, whose this?" I hear a male voice say. I turn to see a blonde haired, blue eyed, masterpiece standing next to me. He had the best structured face I've ever seen in person. His hair was perfectly jailed back and his teeth were perfectly whitened. Was this George?

    "This, George, Is Samantha. She's new, and my best friend so paws off." Gabby says. Ahh, it was George.

   George puts his hands up in defence and then extends one to shake my own. I gladly take his firm hand and proceed in the hand shake. He was warm. So very warm. As I shake myself out of shock I smile widely at him who was smiling at me.

    "Hey George, you can call me Sam." I say. He nods.

    "And Sam, you can call me daddy!" He says with a huge grin high-fiving a guy next to him. Gabby frowns and slaps his arm while he just laughs.

    "I sorry, I'm a goof if you haven't noticed. I apologize if that made you uncomfortable." He says. I nod in understanding.

    "Its fine." I say with a chuckle. I look at the rest of the table and they all look abnormally perfect. This was that California crew in every movie. Cliqued out and perfect.

    "Okay now that thats out of the the way, can you guys introduce yourselves to her?" Michelle asks. They all nod.

   A brunette across from me clears her throat.

  "I'll start, Hey! Im Sapphire, I'm our classes president so If you need anything you know who to come to." She says nicely. I nod with a smile.

    "Hey, Im Fred. My dad's the principal so I can get you out of trouble If you need it." He says with a wink. I instantly blush. Not only because he winked, but because  he was freaking gorgeous. He had curly brown locks that went a little past his eyebrows and again those perfectly sculpted jaw lines!

     He was pretty tan, he might be Latin. I love this school already.

    A short Blonde smiles and waves.

    "Hi! Im Emily, but you can call me Em, Im the cheer co-captain and I can't really help you with anything, unless of course you want to cheer." She says. I nod.

    "She does." Michelle says and smiles at me.

     "Hey. Im Cameron. I don't really do anything here at this school, I just grew up with most of them." A tall blonde says. He had a buzz cut but you could tell he was a blonde because of how light his hair was.

   And last but not least, there was a short curvy girl sitting next to Emily, she had big brownish hazel eyes and skin like peanut butter. She had a mass of huge curls on her head, bigger than Michelle and Gabby' s curls put together.

     "Hey, I'm Faith! Im on the cheer team, in student counsel, and head of our schools Youth Support Group." She says with a big smile. I couldn't help but smile back.

    "Okay. Now that they have introduced themselves, say a little something about you." Gabby says. I nod and clear my throat.

    "Hi. Uhm, Im Samantha, you can call me Sam... I'm from West Virginia, I was on the cheer team at my old school. We kind of sucked. We only had about 5 people with skill in a 14 person squad. I have 3 siblings, 2 that go here. Their freshmen. Twins." I say the last part with a snort directed to Michelle and Gabby. They chuckle, even though I thought Michelle would shun me for such a thing.

"And I..." I'm cut off by a hand on my shoulder. Why was there a hand on my shoulder? I look around the table for possible reactions so I could guess whom it is and everyone just sat, stunned. I froze as well. Is this Ethan? I take a minute to actually feel the hand thats touching my shoulder.
     It was pretty firm. The more time I sat frozen, the angrier I got.

   I finally got the guts to turn around and when I did I saw an impatient looking Ethan. Oh boy.

    I frown and turn back around. I didnt want to talk to him. There was no reason. What did he want?

     "Rude." He says. I ignore it. I feel a tap on my shoulder and I roll my eyes. I still ignored it.

      "I'll stand here all day." He says. I glare up at nothing in particular and spin around.

     "What!?" I ask angrily. The table quietly gasps.

      "You dropped this." He says, handing me a purple and a red scrunchy. I look down at it and hesitantly grab it from him.

     "Sorry, thanks." I say. I hadn't realized I dropped them.

     "No problem. Now are you going to tell me your name?" He asks a little annoyed. I roll my eyes again. Then smirk. Im gonna have fun with this.

     "Nope." I say with a smug look and turn back around to the table. Everyone was looking at me like I was crazy.

     Suddenly I feel something breathing in my ear and I shudder.

     "I'll figure it out." He whispers. I look at him with rosy red cheeks. He just smirks and walks away. My body instantly missed the warmth. I feel like I should have just told him my name.

    When I snap out of my daze. The table was still silent.

     "Ethan James...just, just, just... just talked to you and did something nice?" Sapphire asks in shock. I nod.

    "Yeah." I say a little confused as well. Everyone was telling me how dangerous he was and I have yet to see it.

     "He's into you." Says Fred. Everyone snaps their necks at him.

    "Oh come on! Everyone knows he's basically asexual! I haven't seen him get one girl. Not one." George says.

    "I heard he doesn't do high school girls." Emily says.

     "Either way it goes, he's into you. He doesn't talk to anyone but his crew. Why would he waste time finding you to give you a hair tie? He's a criminal!" Fred argues. It makes sense but I rather it not be the truth. He was bad news.

STAY AWAY SAM!
