Chapter 12: My First Day

Today is my first day of school. I am excited but I am also very nervous. I take a long shower and wear my outfit for the day. It consists of a white sleeveless shirt and a black skirt that reaches my knee and pair it with a jean jacket and a pair of black sandals and French braid my hair. I take a look at myself in the mirror and feel satisfied. I go downstairs and greet raven who is making breakfast.

"You look amazing Kiara you will have boys at your feet." Raven tells me with a grin. I can't help but blush at her words.

"Thanks Raven." I answer her, and then I see reed come down the stairs. Calling him hot right now would be an understatement. He is dressed in a tight white t-shirt with skinny black jeans and a black jean jacket. He has that whole bad boy look. He sees me and his eyes take in my outfit and gives me a smirk. I realize I am openly checking him out and turn back to the pancakes that are kept before me. Reed sits beside me and raven places a plate full of pancakes in front of him.

"You guys are kind of twinning right now." Raven tells us. I look at my outfit and then his and then mine again and yes we are twinning with the white shirt and black skirt and his jean. I continue eating my breakfast ignoring reed. A few moments later Raven goes out of the kitchen and I can feel Reed's breath near my ear.

"Baby i know i am hot you don't have to confirm it for me by openly checking me out." he tells me and I can imagine the smirk on his face right now. The nickname makes my stomach go choo choo train. I turn to face him and see him already looking at me.

"Cocky much?" I ask him. He simply smirks. Soon Ryder comes with Raven and we all finish breakfast.

"Come on guys you have to be at school in 20 minutes " Raven tells us. I get my backpack and wait for the guys to wear their shoes.

"Kiara don't worry you will do great at school and never change yourself to fit in you are perfect just the way you are." raven tells me and places a small kiss on my forehead. Raven has started treating me like her own daughter. I give her a thankful smile and we all say our goodbyes and go to reed's car.

"I call shotgun." I shout and run to the passenger door. Ryder chuckles behind me and Reed is looking at me with amusement.

"You know you act more like a child than I do and I am the younger one here." Ryder tells me. I stick my tongue out at him. And we start heading to school.

Soon we all arrive at Ryder's block even though we go to the same school Ryder's block comes first before high school. Ryder says goodbye and before he gets out of the car I stop him.

"You remember what i told you right bud just go talk to those kids and let me know about it after school." I tell him with a smile. He smiles and nods and waves a final goodbye before entering the school.

"What was that all about?" Reed asks me on our way to school.

"Ryder told me that he doesn't have a lot of friends and that his classmates don't like him and stuff so I just gave him a pep talk that's all"

Reed doesn't answer me but his lips curl upwards in a smile. He looks at me.

"I am happy that ryder opened up to you sparkle he doesn't open up to people much." he tells me with a smile.

I frown at him for the nickname but my stomach is doing stuff when he calls me that but he never has to know that right ladies. He understands why I am frowning and chuckles.

I was able to see the school after a few minutes and reed suddenly stops and I see a park near us. I look at him confused.

"I am sorry Kiara but I have to ask you to walk from here to school I have a reputation to hold and I cannot enter with a girl and please don't tell people you live with me it will not only affect my reputation it will affect yours's too and meet me at the park after school." he finishes.

"You are such a jerk." I tell him and get out and close the door as loud as I can. I am such an idiot to think that he was not much as a jerk as I thought him to be. And he goes and does this.

But I am not a quitter even though he might be an idiot I will make him open up to me. I soon reach the school entrance and I see reed near his car talking or should I say flirting with a couple of girls and they are literally throwing themselves at him. Literally.

I take a deep breath and enter the school. I can see people throwing glances at me and whispering to their friends.

'Who is she'

'She is pretty'

'Where is she from'

I ignore all of them and head to the front office with a help of a girl. I receive my timetable and my locker number and I see I am already five minutes late for my first class which is chemistry. Screw reed for making me late for class.

I was so held up in my thoughts I didn't see the person in front of me and head straight into that person and fall straight on my butt.

"Owie that hurt I think I broke my butt." I mumble to myself. I hear chuckles from above me and I look up to see a boy with blonde hair and a lean build.

"Broke my butt that's new." he says helping me up. I give him a grateful smile rubbing my butt.

"You new here?" he asks me.

"Yeah sorry I am Kiara Tennyson nice to meet you." I tell him with a smile.

"Hey, Kiara I am Luke lance nice to meet you too. And I am sorry about bumping into you i was not looking where I was going." he tells me with an apologetic smile.

"No it was completely my fault I was already late for my first class on my first day so I was not looking where I was going." I reassure him.

"What is your first class?" he asks me taking my timetable out of my hand

"Oh it's chemistry see it's that class over there." he points to a classroom behind me.

"Thank you so much for your help." I thank him. I was about to head to class when he stops me.

"Hey we have the same lunch period would you like to sit with me and my friends?" he asks me. I don't know anyone here and sitting with Reed is not an option and it would be great to have some friends.

"Sure I would love to." I tell him and head over to class. I enter the class and everybody stops doing what they are doing and turns towards me.

"Oh, you must be the new student you can introduce yourselves and go find a place to sit." the teacher tells me. God, I hate the introduction part.

"Hey guys I am Kiara Tennyson and I am an exchange student from India and I hope we can all be friends and not rip my head apart." I tell with a small chuckle some people join me.

"Thank you Ms. Tennyson you can take a seat and by the way, I am Mr. Justin Seville" The teacher introduces himself smiling warmly at me. I look around the class and I see an empty table behind reed and another one beside a brunette-haired girl. I go and take a seat beside that girl and smile at her.

"Hey Kiara I am Kate and welcome to hell." I chuckle at her words. She is really beautiful with straight brunette color hair which reaches her shoulder and beautiful light brown eyes and a slim frame. I can tell that she is a carefree and very bold and strong person.

"Nice to meet you Kate." I tell her and listen to the class. He doesn't teach much he just gives some assignments to complete and Kate and I get to know each other. Soon the bell rings and we say our goodbyes and I head over to the next class. The rest of the day goes by and soon it's lunch. I head over to the cafeteria and get food. I see people looking at me but I ignore it and try to find a seat and I see a familiar blonde waving me to come over.

I go towards Luke and I can see he is sitting with Kate and another girl and a boy at the table which is pretty close to Reed's. I head over and take a seat beside Kate and opposite me is Luke and another boy.

"Hey Kiara, looks like you already met my twin." she says motioning to Luke. Kate and Luke look nothing alike he has blonde hair and she has brown hair. He has piercing blue eyes whereas she has beautiful brown eyes. Luke senses my confusion and answers me.

"Yeah we look nothing alike she looks like our dad whereas I look like our mom" I look over to the other boy who is looking and smiling at me.

"And this idiot specimen here is Noah he is the clown of our group" Kate introduces the brown-haired boy he is very tall with curly hair. He looks at Kate and pouts at her putting his hand on his heart in mock hurt. I chuckle at his antics.

"I am Ava nice to meet you" the girl introduces herself she is also very pretty with brown hair and blue eyes clear as the sky. After all the introductions are over Luke tells everybody how we met and I get to know that they have been friends from freshman year. I look around the cafeteria and I see Reed has a blonde on his lap and they are making out. I feel my lunch coming back up and a pang at my chest and I don't know why.

"Get a room it's disgusting" I suddenly blurt out without thinking and the whole room goes silent. Uh Uh.
