Hold On

~Rainbow ~

"Okay Dashie, first day of grade 12. Don't be a fuck up" I mentally prepared myself as I parked my car in the student parking lot and headed inside to meet Fluttershy, AJ, and Twilight.

I close my locker once I grab the necessary books for my next class and head down the hall to English with Twilight.

I take my seat after I fist bump a few girls I know from the soccer team. Pretty normal morning so far, boring teacher teaching a boring lesson that nobody but the smart kids including Twilight are paying attention to, guys staring at me while trying their best to give me a dashing smile.

Don't get me wrong, guys are nice and all and I have dated a few but never really felt anything... “Magical?” I don't know what it is but I push those thoughts aside when the door slowly opens to reveal a girl that looks somewhat disheveled but I ain't judging. She walks in with her head down and hood over her head showing a little mix of blue and brown and hands shoved into her pockets.

She hands the teacher a late slip.

"Ah, you must be Emma, right?" She asked.

"It's Em." she said ever so quietly.

She nodded.

"Everyone this is Em, she is an exchange student from England and will be staying with us for the rest of the year,"

The class just stared at her, some kids whispering here and there but she still kept her head down and avoided eye contact with anyone.

"You can go have a seat beside Dash over there, Rainbow raise your hand" said the teacher.

I raise my hand and she quickly took her seat.

I can see her much better now. Her small frame fitted with ripped blue skinny jeans and a red t-shirt and a black hoodie over top. Her sea blue eyes avoiding everything but her phone screen.

She pulled out her earbuds, put them in and started playing music. Probably to cancel out the teachers voice, and started bouncing her leg as she did so. Why?

I don't want to be creepy but I can't help but stare at her.

Why was she so quiet? Why does she look so sad? Why does she look so anxious?

Why does she look so cute?

Wait, what?

*Ring!*

The bell rang and she got up ever so quickly and was the first person out the door. I was so confused.

This is gonna be a long week.
