Chapter 2- New Year, New Me

It's the first day of school, hopefully It'll be a blast, it's a new year after all,....and I ended up in a class with NONE OF MY FRIENDS!!! there's no other other guys in this class either... man am I screwed, the teacher, Ms.Cole, put me in the back by the window, well shit, now I feel like an anime protagonist, The whole class is just Mr. Coleson explaining the plan for this year... and this is the homeroom I'm stuck in, I wonder if I can switch to Joey's class, actually never mind, I don't want to embarrass him, I just stare out at the clouds for the remainder of this class, at lunch break I head to the roof, I lean over the railing, and watch the sky for a few minutes. Soon the door opens and I turn around, it's Joey, "Why the gloomy look my friend?" Joey asks, "Probably because I'm in a class with only girls" I tell Joey " WHOA LUCKY!!" Joey exclaims, "No It's not lucky, I suck at talking to girls" I exclaim depressingly, Joey just chuckles, "Honestly, I don't know what to do with you Mal, just be nice and funny, like you normally are" Joey says giggling, " I'll try" I tell him promisingly " At a boy" Joey cheers, " Anyways, in my class, there was a really cute staring at me, I think I might have a chance, so I'm gonna try talkin to her" Joey says, "Ok man, good luck" we joke around a little longer on the roof, and the bell rings so we head down, school was pretty boring for the rest of the day, when I leave the school I notice Joey walking with a girl " That must be her" I think to myself, I head home, and notice a note on the table "Hey Kiddo, business called so I'll be gone for a while, stay safe and have fun. Love, Your Old Man" "hmm... Dad must be out on business" I say to myself, I then head to my room and go to bed, "today was exhausting-ly boring" I say to myself, "hopefully tomorrow will be better" I say as I slowly drift off into slumber.
