Page 2 of " 1st attempt" novel

A girl with beautiful green eyes was seated next to my seat. I sat and said "Hi! I'm Alice."
The girl turned towards me and I realized that she has the most beautiful face I've ever seen. I mean she could be a model from fashion magazine. "Hi! Stephanie." said the girl and went back to her book. I felt her watching me from the corner of my eyes. Well, that's awkward. Yeah, I usually got those looks from most students but never penetrating me like the eyes of Stephanie's were.
I just ignored it and went back to listening to Mr. Briggins.
Just when the bell rang, Stephanie hurried away like a flash.
"Well, that was really awkward "said a girl from behind me." Hi I'm Shelby. You are Alice, right? The one who is talk of the school right now?! "squeaked the girl." Umm. Yeah. Hi! "I replied. She talked the whole way out to our next class, Chemistry,  which was same for both our schedules. We were chatting away when the teacher entered and introduced me to the whole class. I felt all eyes upon me.
Well that is always the awkward part. I'm five foot five inch tall petite girl with chocolate brown eyes and reddish hair. My skin complexion is what surprises the people most of the time. I'm a mixture of honey toned and white, though my mum is honey toned.
Well, while all people are gawking,  a boy sitting to the end of the third row is watching me with complete disgust.I don't know what I did to him. I was shaking a little.

I went back to my seat and never looked back as I could feel the eyes upon me.
The teacher started teaching. I looked from the corner of my eyes towards the boy, who was still staring straight at me. I realized that he was the second person today whom I thought walked straight out of a fashion magazine. He has a real sea blue eyes, which are too much distracting for me. Its looks like there's an aura around him. Or am I the one seeing it?? For a moment I'm not able to take my eyes away from him and in next second, it feels like I am dragged away from my moment of hypnotism. I avert my eyes way from the boy's stare and shook my head.
How can I be so stupid, staring straight at a boy like he is a candy???!
I feel embarrassed. This is not the way I am. I'm too much of an introvert when it comes to new school. It takes me like minimum of six months to get friendly with anyone.

But, here I am making friends from the first day of school. Actually it's the way Shelby talks and chirps that made her my friend immediately after I met her today. She's cool.
The bell rings at the end of the class.
"Someone's got a crush on you, Al"chirps Shelby from behind. "By the way, the hotest guy of our school, who never talks or glimpses a girl except for his sister is swooning!!!! Al you are becoming famous from your first day of school." There goes Shelby's melodrama. 

Novel, 1st attempt

FIRST DAY 
"Mooom!!! I'm late already! Let me go by myself! "Alice shouted from her bathroom.
Martha, Alice's mother works at the Bakery shop after moving to Clinton, a small town in New Jersey, during this summer. Today is Alice's first day of new school at a new place. After her father left them when she was two, they have been moving since then to different places. So, this is not new for Alice.
Alice
It's raining heavily. I'm running fully soaked. The forest is getting deeper and deeper. The more I run, the more I get entangled in the trap. "Stop following me" I screamed.

I woke up from my dream screaming and sweating. This has become a regular routine after my 16th birthday this December. Today is my first day to my new school.

Huh.. I'm just tired of this shit on every first day of my any new school. Mom insists on driving me to school on the first day. My most overprotective mom. I mean, seriously, she should be given the award for it, if there's ever any. I'm 17 this year. Still my mom thinks I'm her 5 year old baby. Duh.
"Let's go, Al. I have kept few dollars in your purse for you to use for lunch. Come on. I'm getting the car from the garage! Be quick! "says mom, who is herself feeding my younger sister Wonder, right now. Yeah, my sister Wonder has just turned 5 and this year we are celebrating her birthday.
"yes ma. Coming! "
My new school is thirty minutes drive from our current home. The town is surrounded by beautiful scapes to adore. The lush green scapes with buildings among them, is just breathtaking.
We drop my baby sister in her new play school and finally reach my "new" school "Mount high", situated in the outskirts of the town, having a student population of 1000.

"Bye hon! Pick up your pace or you'll miss your class!"my mom urges me to hurry.
I reach the reception and hand over my papers. The lady in the reception gives me a cryptic smile and hands over my schedule.
Seeing through the schedule, my first class is English, my favorite subject of all in block C building.
The school is an architecture in itself. I am so lost in its beauty that I forgot the direction to my first class. "Just Awesome. First day, and I'm already bummed!!" and bumped onto a hard rock, nope, a body. I looked up at the six foot tall person with specs like harry potter's.
"I'm sorry. I was not intending to walk right onto you. "I apologized." Hi, I'm Kevin. You, new here?? "asked the boy." Uh. Yeah. I'm Alice and I'm kind of lost to find my first class"
"Which class?? "asked Kevin." English in building C", I replied.
"Hey, I'm heading there too.We're kinda already late. Let's go together. "
We walked to the class, where Kevin introduced me to the teacher. I handed my papers to Mr Briggins and he showed me an empty seat to sit.
