Bellatrix Brown. I said as we got to the lockers.
Wow…. That’s a gorgeous name ! She said, grinning at me. I blushed and opened my locker, leaving my English literature book inside while keeping the rest in my backpack.
So did you move here from England ? She asked.
Yeah, London, actually. I smiled back.
I’ve always wanted to go to London… She murmured trailing off.
After I closed my locker, I leaned against it, unsure if I should ask my next question.
Um, there’s this guy- I started
First day and you already have your eyes set on someone ! A girl with motive ! I like that ! She said cheerfully.
Oh no ! Nothing like that ! I exclaimed, slightly horrified.
Oh… well, then… who is he ?
Well, that’s the thing, I don’t know his name. All I know is that when he showed up late for class-
The room went silent ? She guessed
Yeah, how’d you-
Connor Michaels. Listen, that guy is bad news. He is dangerous and deceiving, and if you know what’s best for you… you’ll stay away. She warned me, her tone low- all traces of happiness were long gone.
Oh trust me, I want nothing to do with him. That idiot actually picked me up out of-
Oh my god… that was you ? She asked, her eyes wide.
Yeah. I guess word travels around here quickly.
She looked nervous and worried… for me.
Just try not to upset him again, okay ? She asked.
Yeah, I promise. I murmured. She smiled back at me and we began walking to AP U. S.
It bothered me- what she had said about Connor. I mean, I get it, he’s dangerous and all, but to let him walk over would be another thing. I promised her I would stay out of his way, but if he gets in mine… bad things will happen.
Okay, now Mrs. O’Connell is the teacher, and she is the best ! You will love her ! Jessica gushed, grabbing my hand and dragging me into the room. I scanned through the faces in the room, recognizing a couple faces from English.
You must be Bellatrix ! A gorgeous lady exclaimed, walking up to me with a sweet smile on her face.
Erm, Bella, I replied, a smile etched out on my face.
Bella, She repeated, Okay Bella, would you like to say something about yourself ?
Jessica quickly rushed to her seat, giving me an encouraging smile. I looked out at all the surprisingly interested faces.
Hullo everyone, my name is Bellatrix Brown, but I prefer Bella. I moved here from London, England, and erm… I trailed off, not knowing what to say.
Alrighty then, why don’t you take a seat next to Liam. Raise your hand, Liam. Mrs. O’Connell said.
I took my seat by the nerdy looking guy. Well, I guess I shouldn’t judge, but really, he was wearing suspenders and those large, thick-lensed glasses.
Hey, are you the girl Connor called a skank ? Liam asked in a hushed tone, turning his body to look at me
I grimaced and took a couple deep breaths, Yeah.
Word really gets around fast here.
Well, I mean, you’re boobs are popping out… He muttered, turning back to face the front.
My eyes popped out of my head and my jaw dropped. Rude much ? I frowned and looked down.
Oh shit.
Liam wasn’t lying… this romper was extremely low cut. How could I not have noticed that ? Well, I guess that explains all the wolf whistles I was getting, and those looks from all the guys in the hallway.
I blushed a little and slid down my seat, pulling up the front of my romper as much as I could. You know, I guess I could blame my mom for this. I inherited my 36 C cup from her.
AP U. S. was actually really interesting, and Jessica was right, by the end of class, I loved Mrs. O’Connell. She actually kept the class alive and unlike Mr. Henderson, my English teacher, she never droned.
I was the last one out of the class and was relieved when I saw Jessica waiting for me.
So now we have… Spanish. Jessica’s eyes narrowed and she frowned. Guess someone doesn’t like Spanish…
Come on, I will be there, it can’t be that bad. I reassured her, grabbing her hand and giving it a little squeeze.
You’re right ! For once, I could actually enjoy Spanish ! She cheered, leading me down the hallway and towards the room.
50 minutes later
FREEDOM ! Jessica yelled, dragging me out of the room as the bell rang. I laughed and ran with her towards our lockers.
