It was Monday and Philip was on his way to his foster family. He was thinking about his mother, who he would miss and he was also worried about. He was afraid she would recover as soon as possible. They arrived at the place and Philip saw a truck and a police jeep at the house. He knew at that moment that it would not be easy at all.Philip's social worker knocked on the door and opened the older man. "Hello, you will be Gabe Caldwell,right?" She asked.

"Yes,I am," he said. "This is your foster son Philip," she said, and Philip smiled and held out his hand.
"Hi," Philip said nervously. "Hi, Philip," Gabe said with a smile. "Then come unpack, I'll show you your new room," he said, leading him through the house.

The social worker left,and Philip was in his room unpacking his personal stuff.Among them was a picture in a frame with his mother.As he saw her,he remembered the good old days when he could have been with her.

Someone knocked on the door "Come in" Philip said and put the photo on the bedside table."Hey Philip, so how do you like us?"He asked curiously. "It's very cozy and so outdoor.I'm not used to it,because I'm from the city,but at least I'm breathing in the fresh air,"he said, looking around the room."I'm so glad, Philip"Gabe said, patting Philip lightly on the shoulder.He left.Philip sat alone in his room,thinking about his life,what kind of life awaited him here,if he would have any friends at all,when his friends were only in New York, where he grew up.

*6:30am*

Philip had his first day at the new school ahead of him, and he was afraid of it because he was afraid he would have no friends. He got out of bed, ruffled his brown, slightly curly hair, and went to take a shower. He went out, went to dress like a school in his city. In his last school, people used to bully him, but then another came and they forgot about him. But sometimes he heard some swearing at him,because Philip liked the boys, so the others it came weird.

Although some didn't like him there,he still had a couple of friends who always held his back.He went downstairs behind Helen and Gabe.They sat at the table and had breakfast."Good morning," Philip said. "Good morning" they both greeted and showed him to sit at the table with them."I made pancakes, I hope you like them,"Helen said anxiously. "I love pancakes, I'm so glad you made them,"Philip said happily,and Helen was happy too,so they both laughed and Gabe joined in.

"Well, I'd like to talk to you, but I have to go to school. I don't want to be late the first day, it would show on my first impression," Philip said, walking to the door, but Helen offered to take him."Umm no, it's okay I'll take the bike," Philip said, and set off.He came to school and saw a lot of people waiting in front of the school.Groups of people laughing and doing nonsense in a crowd.And so he stood there and remembered his school,which was similar.There were also crazy people,who laughed and had fun in a circle.

Philip decided to go in. And that, he would find the director to tell him everything.He went down the hall,a large,elongated hallway in which there were also people,who were having fun.And suddenly he noticed,that some crowd was having fun at someone's lockers.They stood in a circle and inside the circle he stood.A tall,blond boy with blue eyes and his charming smile.He was inside a circle talking to others and had his arm around some brown-haired girl.He thought it might be his girlfriend.And also that she was.Suddenly he gave her a kiss and the others whistled and clapped,as if it were a famous couple.Even though they were or rather the blond boy was,because wherever he went they all went with him and laughed at his jokes and everything he said they liked it.So,Philip thought he was everyone's popular boy.

As he stood there, someone crashed into him.
"Oh, I'm so sorry.It wasn't on purpose,you know I sometimes don't look or rather never,"he smiled.He was a boy with brown hair like Philip,with green eyes and a dark blue shirt with a black jacket on top."It doesn't matter, it happens,"Philip said."Oh, I'm Philip."He shook his hand to shake."Hey Philip, nice to meet you, I'm Dylan,I'm glad," he said, shaking his hand as well, and they shook.

"So ...what class do you have now? I've never seen you here"Dylan asked,looking at Philip with green eyes and Philip looking too "Uhmm, I don't know yet,I need to find the principal to give me a schedule,because I'm new here"Said Philip."Ah...and why are you standing here,when you need a principal?" He asked. "Oh," he realized,when he looked in front of him.
"You see the famous Lucas Waldenbeck," he said clearly. "Who?" Philip asked. "Lucas Waldenbeck, he's the most popular boy at school.Be careful, when he talks to you, you can't talk him out of it, otherwise he'll be sick and you don't want to know what would happen.But he doesn't just talk to anyone, and if he does, he must like the person a lot in that case, "Dylan explained.

"Well, nothing...I need to go to the principal office, where can I find it?" Philip asked Dylan hastily. "Straight and to the right," he replied."Yeah, sure, bye for now, Philip, "he said, turning and walking to class.Philip went to the principal office and had to go around the amusing group of people,which included Lucas,now known to him.He walked around and as if in slowmotion.He looked at him and Lucas noticed,that someone was looking at him,so he turned too,and when Philip averted his eyes,so did Lucas.

He was heading for the principal's office,thinking along the way,what it was like the moment Lucas looked at him.He couldn't explain it,because he never felt like he had a lot of guys,who liked him,but he didn't feel that feeling at all.He walked to the principal's office and knocked."Hello,I'm Philip...Philip Shea,I'm new to this school,"he said. "Oh Philip from the foster family."He knew this,because his foster mom is a sheriff."I'm principal Mark Bridgetson,"he introduced himself. "And your schedule is here." He handed it to Philip,and Philip takes it.If anything bothers you, I'm here, "he said, and Philip nodded and headed for his class.

No one was in the hallway anymore,because it was ringing.But there was someone there.And someone,Lucas was just as if they were lucky.Philip had the feeling he had before."Hey, brown-eyed boy"he shouted across the hall and Philip turned to see him,the boy,who was everyone's popular.Lucas went to him..."You're the new one,aren't you?" He asked. "Yes, I am" Philip said nervously, "What's your name stranger?" He asked curiously, wanting to know his name for some reason. "Philip," he said, looking into his ocean blue eyes. "What's your name, a celebrity?" He asked, knowing his name but wanting to hear it directly from him."I'm Lucas."he answered.

"What class do you have now?"Lucas asked.
"Umm....biology" Philip said and looked at Lucas "What about you?"Lucas didn't even look,because he already knew.He knew the schedule.
"Come on,when we have the same class" Philip said, and Lucas thought for a moment about what he was going to say,and then the idea came to him.
"Go first,I have something else to do,"he said, and Philip looked sorry he wouldn't go together."Okay,so in class," Philip said,and Lucas turned and went outside for a while,then came back and went to class.

When he entered the class,the teacher was not there yet,so he was relieved.And he saw Philip sitting alone.He wanted to sit with him,but his friends were used to sitting with them,so they were waiting for him,so he sat down with them,but inside he wanted to sit with Philip.But after a while he watched him so that no one would notice. Inconspicuously.

The teacher entered the class, and knowing that Philip was a new student,he asked him to introduce himself to the others."Hi,I'm Philip Shea,I'm from New York, I love taking photos, filming and skating." That's all he just remembered what he could say. And Lucas looked like he was up to something.

When class was over, Philip saw Dylan again and was glad they were friends. "Hey Dylan, good to see you again." Philip said with a smile. "Oh Hey Philip," he returned Philip's greeting."So...don't you want to sit down and talk?"He asked Philip.
"Ehh..Good idea," he replied.
