Squinting at the bright lights in your english room, you sigh as you realize this was going to be one of those days. Placing your head on the desk, you close your eyes and silently hum to the song blaring into your ears from your headphones. As the late bell rang, the last of the students trickled in and you sigh again, wishing that some miracle would happen to make the day seem so much better. Little did you know, 'some miracle' was just around the corner in the gentle arms of the principle. You hear a sudden cough and a clearing of the throat and look up to see a shy-looking boy biting his lip nervously as Mr. Rashton clapped his hands to get the class' attention. "Excuse me, class!" he shouted over the chatter, "You have a new student joining you today." Everyone looked up to see the boy who had decided to come in at mid-year. "What's your name, son?" Mr. Rashton asked the boy. He looked up through his dark hair whilst biting his lip again. "F-Ferris Ch-Chandelson," he Ferris stuttered, staring at his shoes. He lurched forward painfully as the principal began to pat him hard on the back. "Everyone, please welcome Mr. Ferris Chandelson!" The class remained silent as they stared, making him feel more nervous. Your teacher glared at the class through her glasses. "Class." "Hello Ferris," they all droned. You watched as Mr. Rashton left and the teacher motioned him to pick a seat. He nodded lightly and re-adjusted the bag on his shoulder, looking around before he finally sat down on the empty desk beside you. You turned to him ever so slightly and gave him a small wave, showing him that you meant no harm. You grinned slightly as you saw him blush and give you the tiniest of smiles. You were about to introduce yourself but was cut-off as the teacher began to talk about the importance of grammar. Rolling your eyes, you took out a spare sheet of paper and began to write a note. Hey, I'm ______ :) you wrote. You silently placed it on his desk and watched as he glanced up, gazing at you with a look of confusion. You motioned him to look at it as he smiled again and began to unfold the note, scribbling something down and passing it back to you. Hi, I'm Ferris, but you probably already know that. And so, the silent conversation began. So, what brings you here? Parents recently divorced and mum wanted out of the town, so we moved here. God, that sucks...I'm sorry. Nah, don't mention it, kind of a relief to tell the truth. Okay, I won't. Umm, you need someone to show you around? As you passed it to him, the bell rang and everyone began to gather their things. Instead of writing something down, Ferris simply nodded at you and you smiled back, walking out of the classroom together. "You seem pretty shy," you observed as you walked to your locker. You both realized your lockers were two down from each other and continued to talk. "A bit," he said quietly as he blushed again. You laughed lightly and smiled. "I think it's cute," you replied, resulting him in turning even redder. "T-Thanks." "You're we--" You were cut-off yet again, this time by the obnoxious voice of the school's 'scene queen' Katie, followed by a snap of her fingers and the forced giggling of her groupies. She walked up to Ferris in her too-short skirt and her annoyingly huge hair, pushing you out of the way. "Hey there, I'm Katie" she purred, leaning into his face, "I already know who you are, you're Mr. Sex--" "Okay!" you shouted, walking over to Ferris' side, "Now that you've all been introduced, we're just gonna--" "Oh shut up, loser," Katie snarled at you, pulling on Ferris' arm, "C'mon sweetie, you don't wanna hang out with her." You glared at her and sighed hopelessly, stepping away and deciding to let her win...again. Ferris' eyes widened in shock and frantically turned back to you, mouthing 'save me' and trying to twist out of Katie's grip. You stood there with your arms crossed, watching it all happen as she tried to flirt and be seductive to a guy who obviously didn't want it. "So, are you busy tomorrow?" you heard her smile, playing with a strand of Ferris' hair. He jerked away at the sudden contact and glanced back at you, pursing his lips as if in thought. "I...I..." he stuttered, "I have a girlfriend." You suddenly felt your stomach drop and a tightening in your throat. 'He has a girlfriend?' you thought sadly to yourself. You looked up and couldn't help but smirk as you saw Katie have the same reaction and stomp her foot. "Who?" she pouted. You suddenly felt yourself pulled into a pair of cold arms and looked into the grinning face of Ferris. "______," he replied, pressing his lips ever so slightly to yours. You laughed as you saw Katie's mouth drop and watch her walk away, fuming with a reddened face. You were right, today was one of those days.
