Transfer Student.

I was a regular teenager until I met him. There was something off about him that made me want to know more. Was it just his irky personality or something else that awaited to be discovered

Hi, I am Scarlett Sanders, sweet and simple, born in Ohio, transferred to Kentucky West High

The moment I stepped into my classroom , my teacher , Mr. Jonathan Clarke introduced me and made me sit in this empty seat in the last row. Now my bench partner was a weirdo, he didnt say a word until lunch , half time as he calls it. As I hoped to speak to him during lunch, my hope was shattered as he grabbed his lunch and walked out on me.

Brently westwood Jr. His name. But no one ever calls him that. Brent he is. Star football player, quarter back, hates pep talks not even about football. Weird. Isnt he?

Nothing in the next two days except from silence from Brent. And me being just as stubborn as I am , never made the effort to make him talk too.

On the third day, he finally spoke up. No, dont get your spirits uplifted. He asked if he could borrow my pen. Not being able to pretend to ignore him , I did lend him my pen.

In the evening, there was a knock at my door and when i opened the door there he was, a tall figure, black hair , deep blue eyes staring down at me. I'm a few inches shorter than him. None other than Brently Junior was standing in front of me. What gave me the shock of my life was a simple affair.

Scarlett: Hey, surprised to see you here.

Brent: Hi, I'm Brently.

Scarlett: So you realized, you never really introduced yourself to me.

Brent: I'm sorry..

Scarlett: Scarlett. Scarlett Sanders. Did you never had a peek at my identification card?

Brent: No

Scarlett: Figured that.What brings you here Brently westwood?

Brent: Your pen, I forgot to return it. I am sorry.

Scarlett: And how did you know I live here?

Brent: The address book.

Scarlett: Cant believe you pulled those many strings for my pen. Could've returned to me tomorrow Brently. Come inside.

Brent: No, I'm in a hurry and it is Ben.

Scarlett: What?

Brent: Call me Ben.

Scarlett: See you at school ben.

Brent: Bye.

The next day was an improvement. He smiled at me whenever we locked eyes, accidently of course.

And then one day while I was on my way home, a voice dashed straight into my ears. Scarlett.! Scarlett. I turned around to find my silent mate, brently. Oh sorry Ben.

Scarlett : Hey ben!

Ben : Scarlett, I was looking for you back in the football field. You are always there right?

Scarlett: Oh yes, I play football too, quarter back just like you. Just not so good. I'm a little down today so I had Mr clarke sign me a leave notice.

Ben: Mind if I walk with you.

Scarlett: Sure.

Ben: I have been really silent these few days. Figured you were reluctant to talk to me the past few days. I do talk Scarlett.

Scarlett: Oh you do?

There is an outburst of laughter.

Scarlett: I like the way you can ignore people.

Ben: Some people are better ignored. Especially people called Cody Blanc. He is trouble.

Guess he had seen Cody talking to me back in the library. I showed no particular interest but Cody just wouldn't give up. Hes cool just not my type. Even if he was , I have sworn not to date. Past breakup was tough to overcome.

Scarlett: Its nothing. He just wants to be friends with me.

Ben: Cool, see you then.

Scarlett: Hey ben, is something wrong?

But he had already left by then leaving me in a state of confusion seeking some serious answers. Why was he suddenly interested in talking to me and influencing me on not to be friends with Cody?
