Chapter 6: Like wise

"So, how was your first day of High school?" I ask Sarah, Seth, and Travis.

Travis grins from ear to ear and looks at Sarah who shrinks in her seat with a blush on her cheeks. I raise an eyebrow but get nothing so I move on to Seth who was bitterly staring at Travis and Sarah.

"Travis and Sarah have every class together and I have every class with some creepy girl who won't stop touching my hair and saying I'm tall.." Seth says angrily. Gabby starts to laugh which makes me laugh and then soon the whole car was laughing....all but Seth of course.

"Not funny." He says and shrinks in his seat.

"And we don't have EVERY class together." Sarah finally adds.

"I have drama without him, I have it with Sammy though." Sarah says with a smile. Seth rolls his eyes and slouched more.

" I haven't met anyone today and I already have a stalker, yet you don't have to be alone at all during the  day." He says. Sarah shrugs and I sigh.

"Well make new friends or, befriend your stalker. At least you guys have lunch together." I say.

     "No way in hell am I befriending that girl. She came about me all wrong and now I'm debating on shaving my head, and throwing myself in the dryer." Seth says.

   "Okay, well be alone." I say and pull into our driveway.

     Seth grunts, opens the door, and rushes to the house. Someone is bitter.

    Sarah sighs, "Great, now I'm gonna have a crappy day because he's having one." She says.

   I furrow my eyebrows.

     "Twin thing?" I ask.

    "No, he just never shuts up." Sarah says and the whole car laughs.

    I was in my bedroom reflecting on the day. It was definitely exciting. We had a vacancy in gym so we had no teacher for that hour. We had to sit in the auditorium all day. No telling when we'll get one either but all while we were there we talked and talked...yet only one thing was on my mind. Ethan.

     He was haunting me. Its like his little boyish charm is working on me. I won't fall into his little trap...hopefully. Its just...his little smirk and his huge dimples and his little man bun..he's the only guy I've seen who can work with a man bun.

     Even after the warnings...I still find him interesting. I've always been a big fan of mysteries. I just don't want to risk it. I guess Ill just have to ignore him completely.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

I am currently getting ready for another day of bipolar Michelle, irritated Seth, flirting Travis, blushing Sarah, and goofy Gabby. Oh! and don't let me forget, curious Ethan. The word ready is wrong.... I was preparing. 

       How am I supposed to get through the day without talking to Ethan, what if he decides to actually come to class today?

       I finished my breakfast and made my way upstairs to do my hair and makeup. I had already put on my outfit. I wore a purple crop top with ripped, high-waist, boyfriend jeans, and purple converse. I put my hair in a messy bun and put on a light purple lip-stain and mascara.

         By the time I came downstairs Seth and Sarah stood by the door waiting on me. Seth wore a Twenty One Pilots graphic tee, black skinny jeans, and black vans. Sarah wore a white off the shoulder cropped top and plain denim shorts with white strapped sandals.

     I sigh and swing the door open. "We're off to school Ma'!" I yell.

   "Okay, byeee! Be safe! love you!" She responds. We all respond back with I will's and I love you's.

      As we step outside we see Michelle, Gabby, and Travis waiting by the car.  

    "Morning Guys." Gabby says with a sleepy voice. We all muffle out somewhat of a response and apparently it was good enough for Gabby because she didn't bother asking us to say it again.

      "Off to another day in hell." Seth says. Sarah nods in agreement and I pull off.

   """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

            "I made it easy on you yesterday, but today is a reality check. It's your senior year, you only have one chance to make it right. In case you have forgotten, I am Ms. Dennis, your AP English 12 teacher. Turn to page 12 of your text books, young lady in the purple, state your name and read the first 2 paragraphs on the page please." My English teacher says, I have successfully gotten through my first and second hour and now I am in third.

    I was a little shocked when she pointed at me to read, I was never really called to read at my old school, they all figured because I was a cheerleader , that I was just some dumb blonde. Sense no one ever called on me before, I felt intimidated. 

      "Uhm, my names Samantha Taylor and it reads...." I was cut off by the door slowly opening and slow creeks on the floor. I look up to see a scolding Ms. Dennis and a smug Ethan.

    "You're late." She says disappointed.

   "But, I'm here." He says. She rolls her eyes and points to a seat...not just any seat, but a seat next to me.

   "Sit." She says. Ethan slowly walks to the seat, not noticing me. I was happy. He didn't notice me, now if I just stay quiet the rest of the time, I'll be good. 

   "Samantha, you may proceed." Ms. Dennis says, and it catches me by surprise. Crap! how did I forget I was reading?

    "Uhm..." I say. I couldn't remember how to speak, Ethan was staring at me, and now he knew my name.

  "Uhmmm....." I say again. I swallow hard as the class grew impatient stares.

   "I...It says uhm... The Death Of A Salesman by Arthur Miller..." I say. I don't know why I was so nervous. He was just some guy. Why does he have this affect on me?

   " How about we come back to you Ms. Taylor?" Ms. Dennis asks. I nod ferociously and with out further adieu, she went to someone else. As that person read, I put my head down in shame, mainly to ignore the smug like creature next to me. 

     "Do I make you nervous Sammy?" I hear something whisper in my ear. I snap my head up to see a smirking Ethan, just 5 centimeters away from my face.

     "Don't call me Sammy." I scold. He chuckles, and before I could say anything the bell had rang.

   " Okay class, I want to finish reading this story together, so we wont have homework tonight, have a nice day, you are dismissed." She says and I sprint for the doors. It is now lunch time which means, time away from the Ethan, yes....I said the Ethan. 

I finally get to my locker where Gabby and Michelle wait. 

   " Hey, how was your day." Gabby asks. I just frown and she frowns too.

   "That bad huh?" Gabby and Michelle ask at the same time and I throw up a little bit. I hate when twins do that! 

    "Yeah." I say rolling my eyes when they noticed how angry I got from the simultaneous speaking.

    "Come on, lets eat!" Michelle says as she grabs the 2 of us and drags us into the direction of the lunch room.
