~Ari's pov~

I woke up and it was finally time for soccer try outs. I smiled, looking out at what used to be Sammy's bedroom.

"You see Sammy, I'm doing it! I really am!" My heart jumped.

I smiled as I put my stuff in my backpack and walked outside. Grammy was sleeping and I got up with my alarm clock. I walked down the street by myself and I finally reached the soccer field of the school. I rushed and caught up to Dani, who was starting to become more of a friend.

"Ari!" He gave me a high five.

"Hey Dani, try outs tonight?" I questioned him.

"Yeah! I'm so excited! Want to get our uniforms before first period, or just before practice when people are fighting over them?" He raised an eyebrow.

"I don't care." I mumbled fixing my bag.

"Then let's hurry." He smiled and ran towards the gym. I ran next to him, almost passing him. Once we reached the gym, Daniel lead me to the coach's office.

"Hey coach!" He smiled.

"Hey! Here for your outfits?" He asked him.

"Yes, sir." He smiled and shoved me out from behind him. Once he turned around, he looked at me. A bit confused at first, but then he looked like he understood who I was. Dani took the outfits from him.

"And you must be Ari." He smiled.

"Hi." I smiled back.

"What number do you want, I'll see if I can get it for you." He smirked. I thought about it for a second, thinking of what Sammy's favorite number was.

"17." I said hoping I could get that number. He turned around and grabbed two shirts, and two shorts. One for practice and one for games, that was revisable, black and the inside white. I rushed to the girls locker room, and placed my outfits in my locker. I came out of the gym area, and bumped into Dani.

"Ready for English." He rolled his eyes. I shocked my head, and walked with him to English. He sat next to Hannah, which I felt bad.

"Ready to sit next to Hannah?" I questioned him.

"Hello no!" He yelled in my ear. I rolled my eyes at him and walked into the English room. I walked to my seat, where I sat alone, but Dani sat in the desk in front of me. He sighed when he saw Hannah walk in.

"Sorry, Dani." I mumbled under my breath.

"Oh God kill me." He mumbled back. I nodded as I slumped back down into my seat. Hannah walked over and sat down. I rolled my eyes and he stuck his tongue out. This was going to be a long day!

~Sammy's pov~

I woke up and went to my new school, knowing nobody. Sadly, Arianna didn't go to here. I walked into the classroom, all eyes on me. I sighed, walking into the room more. The teacher looked down at me.

"You must be Sam?" She questioned me.

"Yeah, nice to meet you." I mumbled. She nodded her head, what no hello for me?

"You can sit in any empty seat you like." She said and I walked to the side of the room, when a guy waved me over. I walked over to him and sat down.

"I'm Tim, and you're Sam, right?" He questioned me. I nodded, and he smiled. "Hey, we need to hang out at Lunch." Tim smiled. I smiled back, nodded.

After my first two period, we had specials. I wasn't really ready for them, but Tim was in all of my classes apparently. I was happy and glad for that, since he was my only friend. After specials, it was lunch, and Tim invited me to eat with him. I sat next to him, and his friends invited me to the table, and soon I had more friends. I couldn't believe it. It was that easy and I was worried about being alone. One of Tim's friends; Toby, said something interesting.
