My Story(Part 3)

Sorry to all of you who aren't caught up on my story yet because I have been posting sections pretty fast, but when you are feeling the creative juices flowin you just have to write... Even though this doesn't take much creativity because as I'm sure you have all noticed, this is the story of my life.



"This is the day," Daxton thought as he scrubbed his hair in the shower. "Today I will make some new friends. I just have to think of a way to do it without them thinking I am the biggest freak ever." He quickly got dressed, ran downstairs, grabbed his backpack and some toast, and bye to his mom just in time to meet Devan on his way to the bus. They trotted down the hill talking about the day before and Daxton promised himself that he would push himself to make friends today. The conversation with his parents had been Monday night and it was already Wednesday morning. If he didn't find friends in the next three days he was planning on giving up on Kingston.



"Daxton!" Mr. Hepler yelled, causing Daxton to jump out of his seat. This was the third day in a row he had fallen asleep in math. Daxton had never had any trouble with math so he didn't really see how it was bad for him to fall asleep, especially since they were still doing review from the year before. Daxton had been the unlucky kid who got stuck in the middle of all the nerdy kids. Nervously, he looked to his left at Lester, the kid who everyone thought was a lot smarter than he was because he liked to show it off, (you all know who I am talking about) and asked him what the question was. He soon got the longest explanation of his life on the pythagorean theorem and right triangles even though the question was about circles. He quickly figured out the answer on his own and told Mr. Hepler. "That's correct, Daxton. Well done."



As Daxton left class he noticed a girl a few steps ahead of him wearing a jacket showing that she was on the high school soccer team. Thinking back, he realized that she was in his math, English, and biology classes. He went up to her and casually asked her a question about being on the soccer team. This sparked a conversation when she found out that Daxton played soccer too. Daxton quickly found out that her name was Camille, but wasn't able to learn much more than that in the short exchange. Daxton's day was made so much better by him even trying to make friends with Camille and he quickly felt like this was more of the school he wanted to be at.

The next day in English, Daxton saw Camille sitting at a table. None of her friends had come into the class yet and he saw the window of opportunity. He walked over there, totally nervous but trying to act laid-back, and asked her if it was alright if he sat by her. To his enormous relief she said he could and when her friends came in, he was quickly introduced to them. These friends included Natalie, Hayley, and Kim. Daxton took a quick note in the back of his head of how cute he thought Kim was and tried to act normal while learning more about his new acquaintances. He did not think that he could consider them friends yet, but in the back of his head he secretly hoped that they thought he was their friend.

Daxton, encouraged by this first success, started attempting to make more new friends at school. He made a couple, but by far the ones that stood out to him the most were Camille and Kim.
