Chapter 4

“Savannah Marie Jones, if you don’t get up in like five minutes, you will have to walk to your first day of school.” 

Isn’t this a wonderful way to get up? Normal people wake up with the alarm and I get up with my mom’s early morning screaming. Life is wonderful.

I turn to get my phone and I am put in shock with the time flashing in it. I have only had twenty minutes for my bus to come. I jump out of the bed and start multitasking. 

I start brushing my teeth and also stare at my wardrobe thinking about what I should wear for the first day of school. I complete my morning activities and slip into my outfit of the day. 

I wear a dark blue shirt with white stripes and blue jeans, I quickly wear my white vans and rush downstairs for breakfast. I throw my hair in a pony as I walk down the stairs.

I mean being size 20, I won’t cry saying, I don’t have enough options like other girls. I surely do have many, but can a girl be ever enough with some clothes right?

When I look at my watch surprisingly I have ten more minutes which is truly a miracle. I check my bag, if I have all my essentials according to the mail they sent me. 

Thank god, I don’t have to walk so far for my bus stop it's only one block away. So quickly, I have my mom’s famous chocolate chip pancakes and throw in an iced green tea into my bag and run for my bus, cause now I am late. Thanks to my mom for that.

I get out of the house and start sprinting like a mad person. Just then I was about to fall face into a puddle. The fence stabilized me, but I was met with roaring laughter. I turned towards the sound and see that one person, I prayed is not, but sadly is, it’s Jacob.

It took him a good minute to stop laughing, but without caring about that, I start walking towards the bus. Quickly I get into it and as I predicted there were a lot of people staring at me. So I sat on the third row which was free and sat next to the window. Praying that no one should sit next to me. 

Jacob entered the bus and god, the entire bus started talking. Some of the guys even gave him that weird bro handshakes. Several girls got up and gave their seats. He simply ignored them and went and sit in the backside. 

This is what I expected from him, cause after stalking his I*******m. Yes, I accept, I did stalk at him. But only for research purposes alone. Trust me!

There were a lot of posts, like a lot, I guess he is having an account since I*******m was launched. There were a lot of professional shoots, of course, he was a model for his mom’s company. He did for other major brands like Levis and Calvin Klein. Those pictures were too hot to be handled, it was clear from the million likes he got. 

He follows only like 10 people. So I guess, not that many friends. Also, no girlfriends to date, no gossip about his private life as well.

 Only, once when he was like 15, he was caught for vandalizing with a group of friends at a local park and it was forgotten as it was an alleged complaint. There were no charges pressed against him.

For most of the high-end events, he was seen single only. There were some pictures of him and his aunt Susan, then some models, but all were for professional purposes and behind the scene photographs.

The bus ride to the school is only for 30 minutes, nothing eventful happened. One quiet girl sat next to me, she opened a big novel and started reading it as soon as she sat down. 

I just listened to music through the ride and was scrolling mindlessly through I*******m. 

The school slowly came into the view and the bus was heading to the parking area, there were already a lot of buses parked in there. The school is just like the picture; I saw on the school’s official website. 

Slowly everyone started leaving the bus, I waited for everyone to leave. Because I was a little cautious of how I had to move sideways through the narrow corridor of the bus. Jacob was nowhere in sight the moment I got down from the bus.

I opened the glass doors and entered the school, it’s not new for me to attend new schools and being the new girl. For once, every, five years, due to my father’s job we move from state to state. 

There are again the curious stares of students towards me, I mean being a new fat girl is always an easy target and a hot gossip topic.

I mean, I would too look at someone new for a while, but these guys are blatantly staring for some unknown reason. Either way, to save me from some embarrassment, I saw the school map on their website. 

There were too many landmarks to remember and with the overwhelming anxiety of curious sites, my mind has also stopped working temporarily.

So, I lost hope and instead of looking like a fish that is thrown out of the water, I resort to asking someone.

I look at this girl, she was wearing white jeans with a purple top, she looked cute, her hair was in a ponytail with fringes framing her face. 

“Hey! Can you please tell me where the office room is?”

I ask everything in one go because I was practicing the line three times in my head. She looks at me, legit scans me from bottom to top, and slowly a smile forms in her pink glossy lips. 

“Oh! You are new here darling. Sure I will guide you! To be honest, I am not having anything to do importantly as well.” She mumbles the last line, seems like it was not intended for me. I ignored it and start walking towards her.

For some unknown reason, she is swaying her hips too vigorously and is having one hand on her hip, and on the other hand, she is carrying a handbag.

Slowly some of the landmarks, I saw the other day comes into my view. But the problem is that I am sure I am not heading towards the office room. I am going literally in the opposite direction of it.
