Forever Scarred

All eyes turn to her. "We have a new student joining us today, Macie Shay. Everyone give her a warm welcome." Mr. Landburg says as he writes something on the chalk broad. Everyone's eyes remain on Macie. I can't help but stare myself, " Hi Macie! I'm Kandy Daniels!" Oh god here we go. Kandy Daniels is one of the prettier girls here but also one of those girls who is always cheery and bubbly. "So you moved from Newport!? Why would you ever do that! It's beautiful over there! Why would you give up that for this?!" We both look at her, waiting for an answer. "Um... I really just wanted a change. My mother is still in Newport if I ever want to go back. Uh ... ha so um what is there to do around here?" Macie shifts and pulls at her sweatshirt. I study her and try and get a better feel for what she looks like. Her head is a slight oval shape. Her smooth ivory skin is stretched tight over her cheek bones, her nose is a little to small but her huge almond shaped eyes makes up for it and there are surrounded with thin brown eye lashes. She pulls her blondish hair up into a pony tail. "Oh there is a party this Friday! You should come! Or we could go to the movies! or you know just hang out." Kandy smiles at Macie. " Yeah maybe." Macie tries to smile back. Tries.

The next fifty minutes is spent listening to Kandy talk about her birthday party that is coming up and hoping the weather will get a little better. The bell finally rings and every one gets up to leave. God that guy really gets on my nerves. Aden Fairveiw is standing there waiting for her at the door. "Hey Newport. How was science, beautiful?" Aden puts his arms around her. "well it was....""Hey why don't me and you take off and I can show you around the town" Aden says cutting her off. "No." is all she says as she uncoils Adens arm from around her. "No?" haha look at his face. I doubt he has ever been turned down before. "I 'm not gonna off with a guy that I just met, who obviously is just looking to get some ass. Just because I'm new here doesn't mean I don't know how guys like you work." Oh shit! haha I like this girl. Aden grabs her arm as she tries to walk away " Look Macie, we can just talk and hang out, I don't mean any harm." "Hey! Aden, you have the rest of the year to creep the girl out. Lay off of her today she just got here." I say as I pull in front of them. "Ha want was the punk?" Aden releases Macie's arms and gets right into my face. My blood starts to heat up, half of me wants him to hit me, but when I look at Macie, I remember I have a job to do. "Fairveiw don't push me. I'm sure everyone would like to no about you and Ms. Correia." I watch him put two and two together. He backs up slowly and half sprints off down the hall. I turn back to Macie, who is already walking away. I catch up with ease. "Thanks for that...but I had it under control."v she said finally turning to me. "Oh I'm sure, well shall we go to p.e.?"

I walked in front of her. She signed and fallowed me. We walked into the gym, "Riggs! What are you doing coming in late ? Bellowed Mr. Andrews our p.e. teacher."Your begging me for a detention kid" "It was my fault, I'm Macie Shay I'm new here and I fell as I was coming out of the bathroom and if it wasn't for this guy" Macie pointed to me "i would probably still be limping through the halls" Macie is an excellent lair. "Ah, uh, well...alright then, no need to change, the bell is gonna ring soon, so just take a lap." Mr.Andrews said as he walked away. "Do you mind if I walk with you?" I asked, she shrugged " Nah, I don't care." "Macie, why didn't go with Aden?" she looked shocked by my question "Um well uh, I'm not into guys like him...Why did you help me?" She looked down when she changed the subject. "I don't know really." Because your my job. "I really don't like Fairveiw, and I well I wanted to talk to you." I put on my famous fake smile. "Ah, gottcha." She is so awkward. Her sweatshirt sleeve lifted up a little, reveling a light pink line. A scar? "Why did you really move? I'm not buying that I wanted a change bullshit." I looked up at her. Our eyes met.

I heard her take a deep breathe in. "I..." "HEY! HAVEN! OVER HERE!" God. It's Ginger. Ginger is one of my "friends" and yes that is her real name. Her boyfriend is one of our main suspects so I'm getting in close with her, but her boyfriend and me don't get along. She is a strong girl, soccer player and one of those world peace recycle love all kind of people. Blond hair, brown eyes, some how insanely tan even though we live here. "HI! Aw who is this? is this your girlfriend Haven? Are you new here?! I'm Ginger by the way" Ginger stepped in front of me. " Um yeah i'm new here. My names Macie." She looked down. "Oh well what are your classes? Um well I had science in r2 and now p.e.. Advanced history in c4, advanced English in d2 and calculus in s9 and then study hall in b6" "weird, you have all the same classes as Haven, haha" Macie looked at me from the corner of her eye " Ok well you should eat lunch with us" Ginger smiled " Um actually I promised Haven I would eat with him" Macie smiled and looked at me. What was she doing? "Um oh ok, well tomorrow then" She smiled again and finally left us. "What was that?" "I don't know, I just ... I'm guessing she hangs out with Aden and ..." she bit her lip. I nodded. "Shall we go to history now?" " Ha wait? the bell hasn't even..." The bell goes off. "Ha um ok then." she smiled for real for the first time.

**********************************************************
The Next few weeks were spend learning her favorite things and what she liked to do. In four weeks all I got is she has family problems, lives with her brother and just came out of a serious relationship. That's all I got! this girl is not telling me shit! Most people open up easily when they talk to me, but not her. God. Boss says I can let it go and they will get one of there people in there to set her up with a job, but I don't want to give up just yet. Macie walks in, wearing her normal long sleeved shirt and jeans. "Macie, I think you should come with me to the park"
