Tristan came around the track for the ninth time today. He had woken up earlier around four something in the morning and unable to go back to sleep he had got up and gotten dressed in his running clothes. After packing an extra pair of clothes to get through the day in he had left his house driving to school after stopping at Mickie D's for a sausage burrito and strawberry banana smoothie. Tristan had been running for almost an hour now when he heard a familiar voice calling from the gate, stopping short he gazed around the track till he spotted his ex-girlfriend Christina waving him over. Christina was a cheerleader he had dated for about five months sophomore year, fortunately for him they had had a mutual break up and remained friends afterwards. He jogged over to where she stood waiting for him.

"You enjoying the view" Tristan said joking as he made it to the gate.

Christina laughed "Actually I was and for a moment there I was starting to regret dumping your ass but then you came over here and opened your mouth and now am sure I made the right choice." she said with a smile keeping things in a joking mood.

Tristan raised a suspicious eyebrow "Last time I checked didn't I dump you" he said asking as if he didn't already know the answer. She shrugged "Hey you have your story and I have mine" she replied with a soft smile.

"So, I see Tristan King is getting back in shape after a long summer of fun and relaxation. Honestly I think its a bit much seeing as it is the first day back but hey after being on three championship teams last year I could see why you would want to get back in form." she said tossing her coffee colored hair. Tristan shrugged "Well actually the track team finished second in the finals but I guess two out of three insist bad" he said actually being somewhat disappointed. Sensing this Christina pouted her puppy dog face "Aww Tris how disappointed I am with you how dare you be such the underachiever" she said sarcastically with a playful roll of the eyes.

"Then again seeing as you are cutting your homeroom class I can't say am surprised by your delinquent ways." Tristan looked at her again with a suspicious look "What are you talking about? Girl am earlier." Christina shook her head "Actually boy first period started like ten minutes ago" she said holding up the bathroom pass from her homeroom class "I guess you were so running laps you didn't hear the bell."

"Shit. I'm late. On the first day, not really the best first impression" Tristan said shaking the back of his head. "Well lucky for you it is the first day. Don't worry Tris all teachers love you am sure whoever you have they won't hold it against you. Anyways Ive got to get going before they send out a search party for me." she lend against the gate and gave Tristan a light peck on the cheek "Catch you later Tris" she said stepping back and walking away.

Tristan now realizing he was late for homeroom ran over to where he things laid on the ground and gathered them up quickly. Then he headed hastily into the school going to the boys bathroom and changing into his school clothes. Once changed he left the bathroom and headed to homeroom, his teacher this year was Mr.Stevenson and lucky for him Mr.Stevenson liked him. "Morning Mr.Stevenson. Sorry am late I got caught up with something" he said walking into the room and over to the teacher's desk. "Not to worry Mr.King its only the first day so I'll let it slide. Let's not make this a habit thought" Mr.Stevenson said handing Tristan his schedule then turning his attention back to the class he continued on with his first day of school speech. Tristan nodded taking his schedule and walking over to an empty desk.
