Someone Like You
Chapter
Two
I walked into the giant high school.
It was so big. My old high school wasn't half
as large as Woodland High.
It was crazy inside. Kids shouting, throwing books, laughing,
talking, getting caught by teachers.
I pushed past the crowd. God, it was stuffy in here. And hot.
And sweaty. The smells of BO and crappy coffee filled the
hallways.
I shoved and squeezed my way out of the mess and into the quiet
of the office.
I cute lady looked over her glasses at me.
"May I help you, dear?" she asked, her grey hair
falling out of her uniform bun.
"Yeah. My name is Josie Carter, I'm here to get
my locker combination," i said, smiling.
I bounced from foot to foot, anxious to get this over with and
start my dangerous journey into the center of the madness, the
lockers.
She handed me a slip of paper with some numbers on it. Locker
85... combination 18-6-44
Easy enough, right?
I thanked her and pushed open the door and took a step out into
the wild.
Only to be knocked into by someone.
"Sorry," the bumper in question mumbled. I looked up
to see a flop of light brown hair and a pair of light green
eyes.
"Ith otayy, I mean... It's okay," I said, tounge
tied.
"I'm Matthew," he grinned.
"Josie," I replied, shaking his hand. My tiny hand
was practically swallowed by his massive one. It was warm.
I smiled up at him, and he grinned back. I didn't
realize we were still holding hands until another boy came up
and clapped Matthew on the back.
"HEY MATT," he grinned, his red hair flopping into
his eyes. "Ready for the race tonight?"
Matt grinned and did one of those weird bro hugs with the
boy.
"Yeah, see you there TJ," he grinned. The boy ran
off.
"Nice meeting you, Josie," Matt smiled at me.
"Yeah you too," I muttered as he ran off in pursuit
of TJ.
Good?
Bad?
