I had been up from 530am and the nerves had already kicked in. Today was my first official day at my new school. I was eager to see what it was like and I felt better knowing I had Lacey and Alanna there. "Have you got everything?". My gran asked.
"Yes I think so. Is it time to leave already?".
"You'll be fine sweetheart and you've already made some friends. Today will be a breeze now come on we don't want you being late for your first day".
As we pulled up outside the school my stomach filled with butterflies. Students were everywhere. "Now the Principal knows about your hand remember and take your pills every four hours.

Once you get inside go straight to the home office. Leah are you even listening to me?".
I wasn't. I was too busy watching everything that was going on around me. "Pills, money, home office. Gotcha". Waving her goodbye I stood trying to take it all in. I was going to make the next 6 months worth it. Well here goes nothing.
As I began to walk up the steps I heard the screeching of tires. I already knew who it was, my body could tell when he was near. Next thing was the slam of the door. Turning my head my eyes landed on Alanna. Already I could tell something was up. She looked sad.
I was afraid to ask about last night. I didn't know how she would react because I left.
"Hey, you okay?". She stopped in front of me. Her eyes were puffy and red and I knew for a fact she had been crying. "Alanna?".
"I will be". Giving me a small smile she shrugged before linking her arm through mine. "I'll walk you to the home office and then I'll help you find your locker". After collecting what I needed from the home office Alanna showed me to my new locker for the next 6 months.
"Right next to the vending machine". Grinning I got some money from my bag and inserted some coins. I was in need of a sugar fix. I didn't know what to do or say to make her feel any better. Offering her a twizzler she took it shoving it right into her mouth. "My brother is a dick". Finally I was getting somewhere. I didn't want to ask but it didn't mean I didn't want her to tell me. "He's so bloody protective. I mean its my life I should be allowed to date anyone I want". "Then why don't you?. If you like Kane so much then screw what anyone else thinks". Shrugging I placed the books I needed for the next two classes into my bag and placed the rest into my locker.
"It's not that simple". Running a hand through her hair she sighed. "Jake plays by the rules and said rules say I can't be with Kane".
Okay she had officially lost me. I was so confused by all of this. I didn't understand most of the things she was saying. "It's just dating".NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"Much more than that but it doesn't matter. I have to use the bathroom I'll see you at lunch". As she disappeared down the hall the bell rang signalling class was about to begin. I had no idea where I was going.
I had been walking around the halls my eyes glued to the map that was no help at all. First impressions weren't going to be great. Sighing I rubbed a hand over my face.
"Lost?". Removing my hand I stared at the boy in front of me. First guess, captain of the football team. So that meant he was a jock and probably a jackass.
"Nope just walking around the halls for the fun of it". Smiling sweetly at him I crumpled up the map and threw it behind me.
"That's funny. Where are you meant to be?".
"English".
"Shit what happened to your hand?". I started to walk hoping I'd come across my classroom soon. I was so late.
"Punched a guy in the face". I shrugged.
"Remind me never to get on the wrong side of you. I'm Ryan".
"Leah. Now are you going to show me where my class is?". Coming across another vending machine I grinned. I think I was going to like it here. Fishing out some money I pressed for some twizzlers. "A girl that likes to eat. I'm going to like you". He grinned.
"Please don't". Finally coming across my classroom I sighed with relief.
"See you around Leah".
