CHAPTER 1
FIRST DAY IN A NEW SCHOOL
MONDAY MORNING......
"Hurry up Kelvin,you are going to be late for your first day at your new school,you know it's bad luck if you end up going late", Mrs Jackson said hurriedly putting some snacks in her son's lunch box's.
"Mom you don't need to help me with my lunch and by the way am old enough not to carry food to school you can just give me some money to get what I want on my way to school".
"You know that ain't happening,we are short on bills and I have to get some groceries on my way home from the hospital, She said while counting some cash and putting it in her purse. We are having pancakes for dinner", "uhhhhhh" Kelvin grumbles, "what do you mean by that", Mrs Jackson said staring deep at her son,"Nothing mum just getting tired of them pancakes, we ate that like the whole of last week and am getting tired of it already, I feel like throwing up at the sound of their name"." Well you have to get used to it,hurry up or you are gonna be late for school".
"Bye mum",Kelvin waves at his mother and then pats his dog on his head and it wags his tail.
CAMPFIELD HIGH......
Students running around, some playing music some dancing while the nerds solving an equation.
Kelvin looking at the busy atmosphere felt out of place,moving from Garden-ville where he had lived his whole life with his mom and dad to Camp-cannon because of the death of his father was something he never expected. His Dad was his everything,his friend,the brother or sister he never had,he always had this deep connection to his father but when he died it felt as if that connection broke.
Thud!!!, a basketball landed on his head bringing him back to reality, feeling dizzy he looked up only to see some students laughing at him and then a tall masculine guy probably in his Final year ran up to him and grabbed the ball.
"Watch your step,Loser",and then he pushed him to the ground making him to spill the food his mum had careful prepared for him and his books fell on the floor this made the students around to laugh even more, then there was a loud bell ringing signifying the beginning of the day lessons and everyone ran to there class. Kelvin looked on the ground, seeing what had become of the food his mum had prepared for him made him wanna cry but he had to pull himself together,he bent down and started packing his books when a blonde girl walked up to him and bent to help him,he was stunned,he seized her up and saw that he was a little bit taller than her but probably the same age with him. He was brought back from his thoughts when he heard her say.
"Why are you still bringing food from home,you ain't a kid anymore so I don't see any need to, you could've just taken some cash and gotten yourself whatever you needed at the cafeteria, now see wh........, sensing that she had spoken enough and she might have made him feel bad she turned to see him starting at her with rage, Kelvin quickly picked up his books and started walking fast to his class.
The girl knew what she did wasn't good so she ran up to him and pulled him by the shoulder," Am so sorry,I didn't mean to say those words,I was just trying to give you some advice".
"It's okay,I understand"Kelvin said, clearly he didn't want to push the matter too long because he was already late for class.
"My name is Ashley by the way, what's yours",she said extending her hand
"Am Kelvin",he said with a handshake.
"So am guessing you are in Sophomore/Second year too,am I right",she asked Kelvin who responded with a nod, "Okay come with me, we are in the same class,we can go there together,we have to get going or we are going to be late for class".
But before he could answer her she pulled him by the hand and ran into the hall way.
Kelvin looking at her as she ran graceful,her blonde hair spread out as the wind carried it, he felt what he hadn't felt before and for the first time after the death of his father he felt safe by her side.
