~Alana's POV~After art, I and Maya have free periods together. She asked me if we could hang out for an hour.
I'm really glad that I met someone that I can hang out with and keep my mind off things.
We are currently walking to the tree where she always sits with her brother. Brody. She said he will meet us there.
As we sit down I hear my stomach growl. I'm so hungry. I wonder if she would care if I ate something quickly.
"I was wondering if I could eat something out of my bag quickly," I said. She starts laughing. Did I say the wrong thing? Does she also think I'm fat?
"Why are you asking me. Of course, you can. I'm not going to stop you." She said while smiling.
"Thanks," I say while grabbing a protein bar. I hate these. But I need them.
After that, we talk for around 10 minutes. Just talking and laughing and just getting to know each other.
All of a sudden I hear someone say something. Which of course startled me. I look up and see a guy that looks exactly like Maya but the boy version. He must be Brody. I have to say he's kinda cute.
"Hey, sis who's your friend?" He says while looking at me."This is Alana. I met her in art." She said while scooting over so he can sit.
I see a dark figure in the corner of my eye. I turn and see Aiden standing behind me. And he's staring at me. Which makes me blush.
I start to pick at the skin on my neck. I do this when I'm nervous. I know it's bad but I can't help it.
I didn't even notice that Aiden sat next to me. Oh, crap doddle. What do I do? Do I act natural? Do I not talk. Well, I already do that so.
"Oh, Alana this is Aiden he's friends with Brody," Maya said.
"Hi," I said quietly. While looking at my lap. I hate making eye contact. It makes me nervous.
We all talk and laugh. Well mostly them.
"What team are you guys playing tomorrow?" Maya asked Brody.
"Shaver's," Brody said.
What team? I didn't research this school. I didn't really have the time and heart to.
"W-what s-sports d-do you g-guys d-do?" I asked very quietly.
"Hockey," Brody said.
My eyes widen. I love hockey. My great grandfather, grandfather, all my uncles, my dad, and my brothers all either played or play hockey.
"There's a hockey team at the school," I said very excitedly.
"Yeah, you didn't know that. This school is known for that." Brody said.
"I-i u-um i-i d-didn't r-really research this s-school b-before I m-moved h-here," I said very quietly.
"Really. You should come with me to watch them play this Friday." Maya said.
"I would love to but I have to ask my mom if I can," I said quietly.
"Ok. How about I give you my number so you can tell me what she says." She said while grabbing her phone.
"Ok," I said while grabbing my phone.
Me and her exchange numbers. The whole time I could feel eyes burning into my skin.
I wonder what time the games are at. I should ask. No. Yes. No. Yes. N-
My thoughts were cut off by the bell going off.
Welp off to PE with Maya.
