As soon as class ends I rush to my and start packing my bag. I decide to call Matt and figure out where he is.
“Hey sis.”
“Hey Matt, where do you want to meet up?”
“I’m in the front of the school waiting for you right now.”
“Okay i’m on my way now.”
I’m not gonna lie it took me a while to find the front entrance and when i do Matt was no where to be found. I start to walk around looking for him but my phone buzz.
From Matt:
Sorry I left so quickly, i’m going to a friends house to play football.
-Matt
To Matt:
It’s cool, cya tonight :)
-Emma
So I guess i’ll have to find my way home by myself. I leave the schools campus and take an immediate right. I’m walking for about five minutes until a car drives extremely slow next to me, i decide to not make eye contact and start to speed up, i mean i don’t want to get kidnapped or anything. The car goes a bit faster until it reaches my pace again. The window rolls down and i look over.
“ Niall?” I asked surprised.
“Hey, sorry to freak you out like that, do you want a ride or something, you seem lost.” He offered.
“Um actually yeah that’d be great, i have no idea where to go.”
“Hope in.”
I do as i’m told and get into the passengers seat, i close the door and put my bag on the ground in front of me and Niall starts to drive again.
“So, what’s your address?” He asks.
“1071 Robins lane.” I answer confidently, it took me about a week and a half to memorise my address so i wouldn’t get lost.
“No way, you’re joking right?”
I give him a confused look and slowly shake my head.
“I live on 1073 Robins lane!!” He told me excitedly.
I’m shocked, how have i never seen him the neighbourhood before?
“This is so weird, how have i never noticed you before?” He questions.
“I don’t know i was just thinking the same thing. We’ve only had one person come by our house, a woman named Maura who came and brought us a welcome basket which was delicious.”
“That’s my mum!!”
I smile excitedly back at him, this is great my first school friend and neighbourhood friend are the same guy!
We only drive for about 5 minutes until he slows the car down in front of our houses. We get out the car and walk to the side walk. We slowly part ways and as i walk away i turn back and say, “Thanks for the ride Niall, cya at school tomorrow!”
“No problem love, if you need a ride tomorrow just catch me on my way out.”
I smile back at him so he knows that i heard him and walk into my house. There’s no one home yet so i just go into my kitchen and make myself a snack and watch t.v. waiting for someone to come home.
After about two hours of watching t.v. and aimlessly surfing the internet my dad finally comes home. Moments after he opens the front door the scent of Chinese food fills the air, my family isn’t really big on cooking. My dad and I devour all the Chinese foods within 10 minutes.
“So honey how was your first day of school?” My dad asks me while we do the dishes.
“It was okay, i met a few people.”
“Did you get any assignments yet? Because you know you should get a head start on the those if you want to get a good grade.”
“Dad come on it’s the first day of school, they’re not even giving out homework yet.”
My dad is unbelievably obsessed with me and Tyler getting good grades, everything below an A is not good enough for him. Sometimes it just drives me crazy.
I excuse myself from the dishes and go upstairs to my bedroom, it’s around 8 o’clock so i decide to take a shower and wash my hair.
Once i get out the shower and blow dry my hair perfectly straight i go to my room to change into pyjamas. When i’m going to close my bedroom curtains i catch a glimpse of the house right next to mine, Nialls. I can slightly see through the blinds and the room appears to be a family room of some sort, on the t.v. there’s football playing, probably Niall or his dad. I close my curtain and get into my bed it’s already 10.
************************************************************************************
I groan as I hear my alarm blaring to wake me up. I slowly one my eyes and reach for my phone, 7 am. ugh. I scroll through Instagram and twitter a bit before i get out of bed, letting myself wake up peacefully. I go to my closet and begin picking out my outfit. I decide on a white lace tank top that shows off a little bit of my stomach i still have a little bit of a tan from California, light wash high waisted shorts because its supposed to be extremely hot today, and adidas shoes.

I go downstairs and get an apple.
“Matt, dad! Where are you guys?” I yell into my house.
“Geez Emma you don’t have to scream, i’m right here. Dad left like 20 minutes ago by the way.” Matt told me.
“Oh sorry Matt, how are you getting to school?”
“My friend Zack is coming to pick me up, should i ask if he can bring you too?”
“Yes please.” I smiled widely back to him. I love smiling for no reason lately, i got my braces off last month and i’m still getting used to perfect teeth.
Matt is tapping away at his phone screen and i decide to go back on mine and check out everyones snapchat stories. All my friends back in California seem to be getting along fine without me there which makes me kind of sad.
“Zack said he has room for you too, he’ll be out front in a minute.”
“Cool, i’m ready.”
Minutes later a car honks its horn out in front of our house, that must be Zack. I grab my bag and follow Matt out the door making sure to lock the front door behind me. Matt gets into the back seat and so do I. There’s a boy sitting behind the wheel probably Zack and someone else in the passenger seat.
“Hey man, thanks for taking Emma too.” Matt said to him.
“Emma this is Zack and James, I met them yesterday at the football try-out.” Matt introduced us.
“Hey, thanks so much for giving me a lift.” I smiled at him.
“Well i would have already offered if i knew how fit you were.” He looked at me and winked which caused me to immediately turned a deep red colour.
“Gross Zack that’s my sister.”
“Sorry mate, just stating the truth.”
I try not to make eye contact with any of the boys on the ride to school, i’m much too embarrassed. As soon as we park in front of the school i get out and thank the boys for taking me and walk into school. I have geography first period, my least favourite subject.
Ugh.
