The Start...

Theodore, a typical teen struggling with growing pains of the inevitable age of adulthood. Ok, maybe not so typical, but Theodore just longed to fit in somewhere. It seems though, that everywhere he goes he ends up the black sheep. However, there was still hope for this young as soon he was about to start...prep school. This was his chance to actually make a new start. He was about to go to a new school, where no one knew him and his history. You see, Theodore had a hard time growing up, so he did what he had to do to survive. Even, if it was not the right thing to do or even if it was just for fun. Theodore had to learn to adapt, so basically he had to be a fast learner, and because of this he was like a modern day "Jack of All Trades", but that was the problem, with so many things he learnt or want to learn he did not really have the time to masterany of the skills that he had. He thought maybe by going to prep school, he could master something and maybe his future might be clearer to him.

It was the first day of orientation, Theodore was excited because he hopes to go in with a smile and make new friends, but Theodore was to about to get more than he bargained for. Theodore was late for the orientation like he would be for everything else in his life, so by the time he got there the whole lecture room was almost filled. He had no place to sit but on the stairs of the room. He looked around but never really saw an opportunity to make new friends, until his new class went out of the room to have an icebreaker session. His class icebreaker session was pretty fast and were one of the first to return to the lecture room. So with so many empty seats, Theodore had no problem finding a seat, and almost instanteously he was making jokes and talking about computer games with his new aquintances. Then it happen, the moment that would change his entire school life. The lecture room door swung open, making a screechy sound like as if it was not oiled in almost a decade. The sound was so irritating, so loud that Theodore just stopped talking, to glance over to see who would step out of the shadows, and there she was, laughing, smiling, giggling away, as she walked in to find herself a seat. Theodore just could not look away. Her smile was just so captivating, cliche but it was just so amazing. "Who was she? What's her name? Where did she come from? Why am I asking myself this questions when I dont even know the answers?" Theodore thought aloud, it must have been aloud because he new aquitances were laughing their heads off, seeing Theodore hooked like a fish on bait. Theodore just conviced himself, "Nah, she's too good for me, besides, I probably won't even have the chance to talk to her." But life is so unpredictable...
