Counting The Stars and Scars

*Max's POV*

I was woken up by the screeching of my alarm, I turned to my side to hit it off and fell out of bed, not realising that I was at the very edge. I couldn't help but laugh at my stupidity as I pulled myself up and traipsed over to my closet to pick out my outfit. After I was satisfied with my choice I made my way to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and put on some low key make up, my stretchers and the necklace my Grandma got me for my 8th then done my hair, I let it flow naturally. I felt quite confident today as the school was going on a trip so there would be no Molly and no Rachael.

I ran down stairs and grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl and a bottle of water. I went to the pantry and grabbed some bird feed from the small box at the very back and threw it out the kitchen window for the birds. I put the window on the latch once again grabbing my apple and water and making my way to the lobby where I left my bag. I unlocked the door then locked it again in a panic as I was going to be late for school and I couldn't handle another detention, I hate staying there for 7 hours I couldn't bare 8. I was listening to Foo Fighters- Pretender as I entered the gates, I saw some students boarding a bus, I spotted Molly and Rachael at the back of the line, laughing about something no doubt it was me, but I didn't care at least I get two free days of them, all I had to worry about was avoiding Jason, who was in none of my classes anyway so that was fine.

I made my way to the hall as we had an announcement, once I got there it was practically full and there was a loud buzzing noise as everyone chats about what it could be that's so urgent. I sat at the end of the middle row, drinking my water, just looking around and taking in my surroundings, it gave me anxiety to see how many pupils were actually in my school. The chatting died down as the principle shushed us through the microphone he was holding. I zoned out until I heard "Welcome our new pupils, Mr Vic Fuentes, Mr Mike Fuentes, Mr Tony Perry and Mr Jaime Preciado, you are all dismissed please go to your first class as usual." I glanced up from my book and saw these four mexican looking boys, they were quite tanned and cute. The shortest one, Vic, was wearing something a bit like me but of course more masculine, the tallest and his younger brother Mike, was skinny sweatpants and a plain black tee and a snapback. The one with the big stretchers was Tony and he was wearing jeans and a tee with some writing I couldn't read from this far away. Finally, the last one and cutest of them all, Jaime, was wearing a hooded jumper and jeans, his smile was so adorable as he sat laughing at people comparing Vic and Mikes height, and his dimples, awww.

I was soon brought out my daydream when a girl next to me calmly said "Excuse me?" as I turned I saw a line of people staring at me I quickly apologised and rushed to my first class, Biology. I was the first there so I took my seat and got my jotter and pen out. About 10 minutes into the lesson one of the boys from the hall, Mike, comes in hands Mr Fornacue a note and takes a seat beside me. I start to panic and I don't know what to do so I asked if I could be excused to the restroom and run out, I break down in the toilet, what if he makes fun of me? What if he's like the others? Why me? So many questions that I'm not going to ask him, that's for sure. I fix myself and wash my hands and go back to class. Mike stands up to let me in to take my seat, when he sits down he passes me his jotter, I look at him confused, "The notes you missed when you abruptly left." he laughs, I just giggle and blush and quickly sketch them down. "I'm Mike Fuentes." he holds out his hand, "Max Crooks" I say as I cautiously shake his hand. The bell goes and I rush out of class with Mike chasing me "Hey, Max, can you take me to my next class I have English with Mr Mills?" "That's my class too!" his eyes lit up, "Can I sit with you?" he asks I give a simple nod, it's not like anyone sits next to me anyway..
