The New Chick
Simon woke up rolling out of bed. like all days groaning from his never ending back pain, sitting up wiping the crust from his eyes feeling the last night tears on his cheeks.. still I mean that not unusual for him, same with his sore arms still feeling the fresh cuts and dry blood riping off his skin to his hoodie as he moved wincing at the pain but getting over it like always.
As he makes his way to the bathroom standing in front of the mirror for a minute zoning out- then snapping back to reality remembering he's got school soon…even though he fully didn't want to go butttt whatever reason to leave the house without his mom targeting him he’ll take it. An with that he turned on the sink and pushed up his sleeves an leant down splashing water on to his face, trying to look a little put together before having to sit though class and go through torture.
Making his way back to his bed picking up the cleanest looking thing he had on his floor and slipping back into his gray jacket he's always seen in. As he makes his way to the door, picking up his bag and leaving his room, all he could think about is how shit this day would be just like all the others and so on.
Simon takes his seat in the back like always putting his bag in front of him somewhat hiding him from the others, as they snicker to each other they stare and joke out loud about him, Simon couldn't help but turn his head away looking longing for all this to end…to be honest it wouldn't be a normal day here if they just left him alone, but Simon didn't even try to fight back I mean everyone thinks his a loser and he wouldn't be surprised if the teachers thought it to, he's failing half of his classes and the other half he barely shows up to.
As the class got full it seemed to take the attention of him, leaving Simon to rest for a bit. Looking down at his ipod and popping an ear bud and leaving the other one out so he could still hear, as he looked up to see the teacher walking in he couldn't help but notice someone following behind him.
“Good morning everyone, it's nice to see all your faces showing up for class” As the teacher spoke, everyone seemed to take notice as well of the person beside him. “As you all see we have a new student joining us!” As the words left his mouth Simon leaned up from his bag, his eyes on the ‘New student’ and with his surprise- it was a girl.. and not any other girl. She was someone just his type, As he fully sat up kinda star struck from her appearance and took quick glance up and down her body even though he didn't really find himself as a picky guy, he truly was awed.
"She's somewhat new to Sweden and found her way to the best school! Harbor College ” As the teacher spoke Simon scoffed at the words not loud enough for the teacher noticing but enough for the new student to notice him "Please be kind to her, and treat her as you would your other classmates” and with that the class seem to sound a little more alive, not knowing if it was more fresh meat for them to pick on or joy for such a somewhat gorgeous girl to join there class- I mean Simon was.. but he wouldn’t say.. he was always a shy guy… I mean the only girl he really talked to was Sophie and she had her own friend group that didn't like him at all, they found him as ‘creep that would slug around Sophie’ but in his mind Simon felt like she actually liked his company.. and other than her does his mom count?? I mean she is a girl but he doesn't really care for her as much, but Sophie actually put time into listening to him, keeping him company… when he’s not so shy to ask.
He kinda felt something different while looking at this new girl he felt some sort of connotation. Maybe he was overthinking like always but he felt like she was actually someone he could talk to- BUT he wouldn't dare try he's a pussy when it came to girls.
As the other students calmed down from their chatter the teacher assigned the new student a chair, and what a shock it was in front of Simon.
Looking away playing off he wasn't watching her, his mind played thought of her being so close but snapping out of it as she took her seat, she started to place her stuff down on the table and flipping to the page the class was on, slipping out a small sketch book as she started to doodle in while watching the teacher go on about whatever they was learning today.
Simon couldn't help but take notice of her drawing and her somewhat lingering smell- AND YES he was being creepy at this moment but I mean she smelt like a sweet vanilla with a hint of a smokey smell Simon knew too well. and with that he started to think to himself ‘wait she smokes?! She is just like me! this was meant to be…We were meant to be’ him leaning back in his seat and placing his head down not noticing but a small smile starts to creep on his face..
only for it to slowly wash away ‘do I even have a chance shes so,, so’ as the thoughts run through his head he slowly glanced up to look at her only to be meat with the girl he was obsessing about staring back at him,
quickly looking back down like he didnt just make eye contact with the girl of his dreams ‘OH FUCK OH FUCK! Do I look like a creep now! she's totally thinking I was staring at her!! wait… what if she could tell I was smelling her OMFGGG I’m such a fucking creep’ as the thoughts foged his brain with fear he couldent help but hear the bell ring.
Everyone making their way up and out of class he slowly snapped out of his overthinking, as he looked up once more to see the new girl was stuffing her bag with all her stuff and pushing her chair in, As it seemed the class was basically empty it was only them two and Simon couldn't help but stay seated from fear she would call him out for smelling her and staring at her the hole class basically…It was the end for him and a start for new name calling for being such a creep to the new girl, the thoughts of people finding out sent him into a sweating mess only to be snapped out of…
A voice that he's never heard before, was soft but a slight roughness to it making Simon's heart skip a beat, only to look up to be met with the new girl staring right into his eyes.
“Hay,, um just wanted to say.. I like your patches on your bag” saying as she rubs her own neck with a nervous tone… And with that Simon was lost with words, like a cat got his tongue and he couldn't seem to understand what just happened, still looking at her with a pale face not saying one word.
“Well,,bye I’ll see you around” saying as she took off, making her way past chairs and tables leaving Simon sitting in silence..
Simon was still not clicking with what just happened, until she fully left, shooting out of his chair and pushing out something! anything! “THANK YOU” saying without registering how loud he said it, slapping his hands over his mouth like some cartoon character with a slow pink growth on his face only noticing now she was gone like everything was some sort of messed up dream…
Out of nowhere the girl he thought he made up popped her head in to the class room with a smile on her face “No probs” as the words left her mouth Simon felt his legs become jelly only to stubble on himself, leaning on to his desk to keep his balance
She giggles at the sight of him fully noticing his blush on his face “Cya around” Saying as she waved at him and left him to recoup, leaving Simon standing there with no words ‘she smiled at me..’
