Room 106. The room I attend to every morning for 5 days a week and sit in the back left corner by myself whilst listening to Panic! at The Disco. The only thing I like about roll call is my teacher, Mr Dae.
He is the only person I feel comfortable really talking to at school. He knows about my struggles with the peers here and whenever I feel upset I can just talk to him.
My music is so loud I can't hear anything around me so I don't notice Mr Dae until he pats me on the shoulder. "Miss Bateman!" He says to me.
"Oh, sorry sir I couldn't hear you I had my earphones in" I mumble as he sits next to me.
"We have a new student, Mr Joshua Dun. I'm trusting you to show him around and I'm pretty sure he is in most of your classes."
I was shocked that Mr Dae is trusting me with a new student when he knows I can't even trust my self!
"I- I-Uh-um o-ok I've never really had a friend before sir, I don't know how to be a friend oh god I don't think I can do this!" I whisper to the teacher.
"You will be fine Ava. Look! Here he is now!" Says Mr Dae as a tall boy with scruffy red hair and tattoos walks into the room.
"Oh no I can't fucking do this" I exclaim as I put my head down and shove my headphones into my ears.
"Mr Dun, please take a seat next to miss Bateman over here" yells Mr Dae as he points over to the spare seat next to me.
"FUCK" I whisper/scream with my head down as the new kid approaches me
"Uh-hi" Says Josh
I just pretend I can't hear him
"Oh-um hi" I say super quickly with my head still Down
"My names Joshua but you can call me Josh I guess" he says while sitting down pretty confidently
"I'm Ava" I say slowly bringing my head up to meet his soft brown eyes. I take in his features, nose ring, big eyes, big lips, cute hair, WAIT, WHAT DID I JUST SAY!?! I cannot like this guy! I've only known him for not even 10 minutes and I'm already blushing. Oh god, I quickly put my head back down. "Are you ok?" He asks
"Uh-yeah I'm fine" I say as the bell rings for first period.
I get up and quickly leave the room until I hear "Wait, Ava, I don't know where I'm going and I was told you were showing where in supposed to be" followed by a chuckle.
I slowly spin around on the heal of my boots and whisper a small "sorry" before walking up to meet him.
On our way back from 2nd period me and Josh are laughing like we have known each other our whole lives. "Wait. I have no one to sit with a lunch" says Josh with looking at me with a pouty face.
"Haha don't worry Josh, you can sit with me and all my friends" I say sarcastically as I sit in my table at the back of the cafeteria.
"Wow so this is your life everyday.." Asks Josh
"Uh-yeah I guess so huh? I never really realised how dumb I looked because I was so used to it aha" I say with a sad but firm look on my face whilst trying not to spill out all my emotions to a guy I only just met.
"I used to be like this at my old school which is part of the reason I transferred schools." Said Josh "I guess we were destined to meet huh?" He asks
"I guess so" I say with a small chuckle whilst taking a bite out of my crisp and wondering why else he moved schools
"Do you have a car?" I ask
"No but I'm working on it. I'm working at the record shop down the road for the hours I'm not at school, just so I can afford a car and hopefully a new set of drums."
"You play drums?" I ask interested
"Uh-yeah I'm not very good though" he says nervously
"Oh I play ukulele, I know stupid Instrument, but it's so fun" I say with a small laugh.
"OH my best friend, Ty or Tyler, plays ukulele! You two would get along so well!" Exclaims Josh
"You will have to introduce him to me" I say
"Sure we are actually having band practise tonight if you want to tag along?" He asks
"Oh-uh sure haha that would be awesome" I say super excitedly.
The rest of the day goes by and it's the end of the day before I know it
"Hey Josh, do you want a lift home?" I ask him
"Yeah that would save me getting on the bus with a bunch of losers I don't know!" He says while laughing
We walk to my car and just talk about our fav bands and stuff.
"My favourite band at the moment is probably The Killers." Says Josh
"HOLY SHIT SAME FUCK YEAH!" I yell as I push their CD into the CD player.
The drive to Josh's consisted of us just bangin out to Mr Brightside on replay because it's the best song ever!
"Just this house here" Josh points to this small house which looks really cute.
"Awww your house is so cute" I say
"Um dude it's not cute, it's FABULOUS" Josh says in a girly voice
I just laugh at him and shake my head as he gets out of the car
"I'll see you at 4:30?" He asks
"Yep I'll see you then!" I say as we hit eachothers knuckles with our own.
"Bye Josh" I yell out the window of my car
"See ya Av!" He says as he walks into his house
And in the car I sit and think about the best day of my life....
