The cafeteria. It was full of all the clicks this schools got. Date rapist football jocks, the quiet ones, the popular girls, they got em all. I make my way through the crowds and spot a girl with thick curly hair sitting alone at her table.

Coming up to her, she looks at me confused. "Can I sit here?" I ask, she nods. "Im Harvey. Im pretty sure I saw you in speech yesterday, Emily right?" I say as I pull my PB&J sandwich out of my bag. "Yeah. I was the new girl before you, it gets better" she says with a warm smile.

"Ah, I see. Where did you move here from?" I ask as I take a bite of my food. "Brighton! My parents got a job here a bit ago." She says softly. I smile again, "Thats so cool! Im originally from Seattle, my dad went here actually" I laugh.

After talking for all of lunch, we became pretty good friends. She was badass. We start to pack up our things and then she giggles a little. "I think those guys are staring at us." I turn around to see Hunter whispering to someone with longish hair, glasses, and was way shorter than him.

I laugh, "Thoughts on the one with glasses?" I say teasingly. She blushes slightly, "Kevin, I think i like him" She says softly. I jump up and down like a little kid and smile "He totally likes you! Look at him hes staring right at you" I say

She shakes her head, "Says you! Hunters definitely checking you out." She says as we start to leave for our next class. I let out a deep sigh laugh thing and smile. "You like him dont you!" she nudges my shoulder, "Dude I haven't even been here for a full week yet I cant believe you" I say with a slight laugh as I look back at Hunter, Kevin says something to him and he pushes his shoulder a bit. He notices me and I smile a bit, he waves at me.

I walk around the halls during my last period because why the hell not, Im bored and science is like the worst class. I see Hunter sitting on the stairs in hall C. I smile to myself and walk over to him. "Hey" I say as I sit on the stairs next to him, hes drawing something. He looks at me, "Hey" he says as he continues with his work.

"Whatcha doing?" I ask as I look over his shoulder. "Im working on a poster thing for my band tryouts" He says. "Band?" I ask, confused on what he meant. "Im in a band, with Kevin- Skullfucker? Were looking for people to play bass" He says as he stops what hes doing to look at me, hes so pretty. "Thats what that was? On your speech notes i saw it there!" I laughed.

He chuckles a bit, and smiles. "Yeah. Do you want to come to the tryouts? Its on Friday, so tomorrow." He says, I smile and snatch his notebook, looking at the poster he made. 'What would satan do? He'd come to bass tryouts after school today in G343' I like his drawings. "That would be fun, ill be there! My dad works late though, could you or Kevin like- take me home after?" I hand him his notebook back. "I can!" he says quickly.

"Sweet." I say as I get up, he looks at me for a second, "Hey um- do you wanna hang out today?" he says awkwardly. I laugh a little, "Sure" I say "We can- We can go to my place?" He says as he gets up to stand with me. "Yeah sounds good" I smile
