There's No Denying it.

•Ch. 1•

The frigid air engulfed me instantly as I swung my car door open. My eyes instantly watered and my nose began to burn. Even my multiple layers of clothing couldn't save me. I leaned over my armrest grabbing my backpack and gym bag from the passengers side, before climbing out of the car. Thankfully my scarf and jacket are keeping in some warmth, but the cold still managed to seep through. Ugh, why did I have to wait until last minute to get my parking pass? Due to my laziness the parking spot I received is the farthest away from the school. These spots are normally given to the few sophomores with cars, or to the people that get parking passes late in the year. Me being one of the unlucky few. I see a couple of other people getting out of there cars with looks just as unpleasant as mine. It is officially everyone at ShallowBay Highs first day back from winter break. Fuck my life. Of course the coldest day of the year had to be today. I look up at the dark, ugly sky and groan. Only a few more months until the hell that has been highschool is over. I've been eagerly waiting for graduation day since sophomore year. High School is nothing like the movies promised. I glance ahead towards the cafeteria door seeing my best friend struggling against the wind to get it open. "Kaylee!", I shout. Kaylee's long red hair whips around when she turns to see who called her name. She immediately smiles when she sees me and waves. When she removed her hand from the door to wave, the door immediately came back and smacked her in the face. "Shit!" She shrieks. "You probably just gave everybody in the cafeteria a nice show" I say grinning. She immediately turns red and walks away from the door. I run up to her and give her a huge hug before opening the door for her. "After you." I say, motioning my arm out for her. She rolls her eyes at me and flips me off. "Don't let the door hit you on the way in." I giggled.
The warmth of the cafeteria was an instant relief. Kaylee and I make our way over to the table of our friends. The majority of the table being girls on the gymnastics team with us. "Happy Monday y'all", Kaylee greeted sarcastically. A few scattered replies and laughs followed. I slid my backpack off and sat down next to a brunette named Ashley. We had sat down in the middle of a conversation so I'm oblivious to what they are talking about. "I just got here so do y'all mind starting over?", I ask, leaning into the table. A girl named Emily grins and leans forward, "So you haven't heard?"
"Uh no it's like 7:15 in the morning" I say. They start talking over each other, all talking louder than the other. Another girl named Macy shouts "One at a time I can't hear myself think!"
Emily speaks up again this time without any interruptions. "So Kelsey told me that Andie told her that a new extremely hot guy moved here over winter break."
"Anyone know his name yet?" Kaylee questions. " No not yet", Macy groans. "But, the moment any of you finds out what his name is report it to the team." Ashley grins. "Also please send pictures, preferably in a group chat" Macy adds. Everyone agrees excitedly. It's really weird that someone is moving in the middle of senior year. Normally people just finish out the rest of the year unless they have to move. This new kid is really peaking my interest. I tune back into the conversation at the table, seeing that they have changed subjects. We continue discussing various topics until the bell rings. I gather up my things and follow the crowd of people into the hallway. I walk into my first block English class seeing the usual people sitting in their assigned seats. Damn, no new hot kid. Just the same old dull faces. Knowing my luck he won't be in any of my classes. Miss. Brady walks in as the tardy bell rings. She is one of my favorite teachers. She's really easy going and doesn't give too much homework. Since it's our first day back, she tells the class that we'll watch a video about Shakespeare and write a few notes. Even though I am relieved we don't have to do any work, the video is still a boring alternative to an assignment. I mostly just sit there and doodle and text Ashley. A few moments later I get a few texts from the team. To everyone's disappointment, no one has spotted the new hottie. After an agonizing hour and thirty minutes, the bell finally rings. My next class made me want to sit through another hour and thirty minutes of Shakespeare. Math was my least favorite subject and class. Our teacher was a 50 year old coach who hated everyone and enjoys killing all happiness.
He hates his job and makes sure that we share in his misery. All he does is sit at the back of the class in his desk complaining about grading or telling us to shut up. He is always "putting in grades" on his computer. When I get to his class and sit down, I frown at the worksheet on the screen. Of course he is giving out work today. This bastard just needs to go ahead and retire. So please, just do us all a favor. After another hour of hell the lunch bell finally rings. I didn't realize how hungry I was until I stepped into the cafeteria. I saw that they had chicken and mashed potatoes. Something appetizing! I see Kaylee and Emily already sitting at the table, and wave. " Guys look! They made my favorite!" I say setting my stuff down at my seat. " I don't know how you like those mashed potatoes, they are disgusting" Emily scrunches her nose up.
" You have to look past their appearance and appreciate them for what's on the inside." I retort. I slide into my seat and pull my phone out.
" Yeah well what's on the inside is definitely not potatoes." Kaylee mumbles, staring intently into her tiny mirror as she applied her lipgloss.
"Why don't we just sign out and go to Mcdonald's?" Emily suggests picking up her bag.
"That way you know what your eating is actual food." Kaylee explains, Shoving her mirror and lip gloss back into her purse.
"I wouldn't go as far to say that. I mean it's McDonald's we're talking about." Emily jokes, searching through her bag.
"Come on I'm waiting." I complain. I slowly start heading toward the door.
Emily finally resurfaces her keys and swings them around her fingers, "We are taking my car", she declares. We all walk to the door and sign out, then head to Em's car.

I shuffled through my Cage the Elephant playlist and stuffs my face with fries. Emily makes an inaudible noise and shoves her drink back in the cup holder. "Oh my god stop this is my favorite song!". The lyrics for Cigarette Daydream come on and we all start singing along. Three minutes of horrible karaoke later we park back in the school parking lot. I barely make it in before the tardy bell. I glance up to the front of the class room and notice an unfamiliar figure. "Hello everyone! I hope y'all all had an amazing winter break. Now before we get stated I would like to introduce you to our new student, Jacob Mathews." Our teacher Mr. Taylor announces. The new kid turns around and smiles. "Holy shit he's hot."
