A Shot in the Dark


Chapter 3
I rounded the corner of yet another hallway. My watch read 7:57. I had exactly three minutes to find my homeroom or I would be marked late! Panic started rising inside of me and my pace quickened. Without falling on my face I managed to dodge two opening doors and a water fountain. I did not, however, have any luck dodging people. Because right as I turned to walk down a hallway someone was coming from the other direction.
And by the way, that someone just so happened to be the most gorgeous guy I had ever seen.
I wanted to bury myself under something where no one would ever see me. Ever. Again. But instead I ended up flying to the floor.
“Woah! I am so sorry.” I opened my eyes to a boy who looked like he was about to laugh hysterically. What a jerk. He didn’t even offer to help me as I stood up.
“Yeah. You look it.” I turned and started walking away.
“Hey! Hold up a sec.”
“What?” I stopped and said.
“You’re new.” He said as if he had just realized something extraordinary.
“Wow, how did you guess!” I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes.
“Listen I—” I held up a hand.
“I have to go.” And with that I started walking away.
“Room 215…” He called after me.  “…is that way.” 
How did he know that?! I turned abruptly on my heel and stalked past him.
