Chapter 2 | S a m a n t h a s  p o v

As I'm leaving the principal's office. Everything is running through my mind. I'm so nervous. I'm really lost in thought.

Ok think Samantha, think. What did the principal tell me to go do?

•Flashback•

"All 11 grade classes are on the 3rd floor so here's your new locker number and combination. Oh and here's your new schedule. " He hands me the papers and I grab them.

"You can leave now." He smiles.

•Flashback over•

Ok so if I'm thinking straight he wants me to go to my old locker, get my stuff, go to the 3rd floor, find my new locker and my first period class.

Ok I think I'm ready to do this, my first day of school will be perfect, hopefully. This was just a tiny little change and I can handle it!

But what if I can't?

I quickly walk to my old locker, open it and grab my stuff.

I'm gonna miss this locker and Maddie.

I bend down and unzip my book bag. I grab my notebook and rip out a piece of paper. I decide to write Maddie a note with my phone number on it so she can still text me and stuff like that.

I quickly fold up the paper and shove it in her locker.

I pick up my book bag and run towards the steps that lead to the 3rd floor. I walk up the stairs. When I finally reach the 3rd floor I look around.

Wow I've actually never been up here before... It's kinda nice.

As I'm looking for my new locker I admire all the posters and colorful walls. It's a whole new atmosphere up here. It's like the air is different and full of life. 9th grade and 10th grade were boring and everybody was lame. But I have a feeling that this year will be different in a way...

I finally spot my locker and I open it. I put my book bag in there and then I check my schedule. Looks like I have to go to Math Class in room 473.

I grab my supplies and shut my locker. I slowly walk down the hall looking for room 473.

After about 5 minutes of running, back tracking and going in circles I finally spot room 473.

I take a deep breath and slowly turn the door nob. As soon as I open the door the bell rings and everybody starts pouring out of the class room.

I get pushed really hard and I fall on the floor scattering all my supplies on the hall way floor.

Everyone ignores the fact that I'm practically crawling on the floor trying to gather all my stuff.

I finally finish picking up all my stuff except for 1 last notebook.I crawl over to the notebook and just as I'm about to pick it up, a over priced sparkly pink heel lands on my notebook. I look up and see a girl about 17 years old. She's dressed in all pink and is holding a purse... with a dog inside.

What kind of person carries a dog in their purse? Talk about cliche and animal cruelty?!

I notice three more girls behind her. They must be her "followers."

Her foot is still on top of my notebook, so I get tired of waiting for her to move her foot and yank it from underneath her shoe.

"Excuse you?" She says while chewing her gum loudly.

"You were standing on my notebook." I say brushing off all the "dirt" that was on it.

"I have a right to stand on whatever I want." she says rolling her eyes.

Who does she think she is?

"Whatever." I spat. I don't have time for her.

"Why are you even on the 11th grade floor anyway?" She asks.

"I'm in 11th grade now." I shrug.

"Since when?" She asks.

"Since 30 minutes ago."

"Well now you're on my turf I rule this school." she says.

Yeah right.

She walks away snapping, signaling her followers to come with her.

I role my eyes.

Then I hear a unfamiliar voice behind me.

"That's Mindy she's such a Bitch don't pay her any mind."

I laugh and then turn around to see a girl who's about 16 years old? She has extremely long jet black hair with blue, pink and purple highlights. She's dressed in all black. She has a nose ring and a lip ring.

She actually looks quite terrifying.

"The names Jane." she says.

Then she starts walking away.

As she walks away I quietly shout "If you were wondering I'm Samantha."

She turns around and nods her head, then turns back around and continues walking away.

Well Jane is weird.

I check my schedule. Well I missed math class. Great. Looks like History is up next, room 516.

Yay I have no idea where that is...can this day get any better?!1! (hint the sarcasm)

I can't be late to another class.

I start speed walking through the halls searching for the class. I finally see the number 516 and mentally sigh.

I quickly walk in the class and sit down in the front row so I can finally start learning.

As soon as I got used to the seat this girl comes over to me.

"Hey you're in my seat." she says.

"Well can't you sit somewhere else?" I say.

"You're lucky you're new." She spats cracking her knuckles.

I slouch in my seat. This is gonna be a lonnnng year.

***

I hear the bell ring. It's finally lunch time.

I walk into the cafeteria and my eyes widen. This cafeteria waaay bigger than the 10th grade cafeteria. As I'm looking around I notice there's 12th graders in here. Looks like 11th grade and 12th grade share the 3rd floor cafeteria. I notice there is a lot of clicks. There's the nerds. The artists. The goths. The musicians and loads more but what's on top right now is the popular pretty girls and the hot football players.

And then there's me. The girl who reads for fun and has no friends.

I walk over to a empty table and  I pull out my favorite book and start reading. Until I'm interrupted, by Mindy.

"Hey Samilla. " Mindy says.

I scoff. Wow she can't even say my name correctly.

I look at her and then look back at my book ignoring what she just said.

"I just wanted to come over here to tell you that you're a loser." she says.

That was literally so unnecessary.

"Wow? I'm soooo offended." I say sarcastically.

She roles her eyes. "What are you even wearing? You look horrible."

Ok this girl is getting on my last nerve.

"Just walk away now you're wasting your time by trying to offend me." I say.

All of the sudden the bell rings. "This isn't over!" She pouts. She roles her eyes and stomps away.

I get up throw my trash away and head to my locker. Once I get to my locker I pull out my schedule, looks like Science class is next, room 610. I grab my supplies and head to class.

As soon as I reach the Science lab. I walk in and the teacher immediately introduces himself to class.

"Hello Class I am Mr. Griffin and I I'll be your Science teacher for this whole school year. Can I have everyone line up along the wall so I can assign everyone their lab partners." He says.

I hate when teachers choose the partners themselves ugh.

I hesitate at first but then I go line up along the wall. "Ok so Jasmine you'll be with Becca. Judy your with Tom. Christy your with Carly. Jane your with Mindy..." He continues

This goes on until forever until he finally calls my name."Oh and Samantha you're with Jace." he finishes.

I look over at Jace. He's on the football team and he's really conceded, at least that's what I heard all the girls whispering about at lunch.

I hate football jocks. They're stuck up and self centered.

I sit down at the lab station, but Jace is just standing there looking clueless.

"Umm Mr. Griffin who's Samantha?" He says.

Everyone laughs. Well he's not very bright.

"Samantha raise your hand." Mr. Griffin says.

I raise my hand and Jace comes over and sits next to me.

"Everyone these will be your lab partners for the rest of the year, so since I'm nice and it's the first day, I'm gonna give you guys 10 minutes to talk to you lab partner to get to know each other." Mr. Griffin says.

Everyone immediately starts talking. I pull out my book and start reading.

Jace starts talking but since I'm reading I pay very little attention to him.

"I'm sure you've already heard about me before." Jace says resting his feet on the table.

I roll my eyes and set down my book. "I have, all the girls say your a "hottie football player who only cares about himself."

"Those are just rumours." he shrugs calmly.

"I'll believe it when I see it."

"Whatever." He snaps.

"Whatever." I snap back.

It gets silent for awhile until Jace starts the conversation again. "So dork girl what's your name?" He ask.

I look up from my book. "It's definitely not dork girl."

"Well what is it then?" He asks.

"Samantha. Didn't you hear it when you were assigned as my lab partner??" I furrow my eyebrows.

"I don't like that name." He says bluntly.

"I don't like you."

"Do you mind if i call you Sam?" He asks.

I roll my eyes. "Don't call me Sam. Nobody calls me Sam."

"Yeah, I'm not gonna listen to you and I'm gonna call you Sam, just because you told me not to call you Sam." He grins.

"Even though we just met I can already tell that you're an ass." I say in an annoyed tone.

"AYE EVERYONE SAM JUST CALLED ME AN ASS!" Jace yells.

Everyone starts laughing. Then I hear Jane yell out: "Because you are an ass!"

"Guys, no swearing in my class. Jace, Samantha and Jane go to the principal's office right now!" Mr. Griffin yells.

Me Jace and Jane get up and walk out of the classroom. As soon as we get in the hall way Jane starts yelling.

"Maybe if you weren't always being an ass to everyone we wouldn't be going to the principal's office!" Jane yells.

Jace starts laughing

"What's so funny?" I ask.

"I treat everyone the same way." He shrugs.

"Well maybe you should start treating everyone better?" I suggest.

"Not gonna happen." Jace chuckles.

Me and Jane roll our eyes. After that It's quiet the whole walk to the principal's office.

Jace and I hate each other already. He's just like all the girls say he is. I don't know how we'll be lab partners for the whole year, but we're only partners in one class. Right?
