Her car pulled into the parking lot of the intruding building that was Hillbridge high. She swung open the car door and pushed her flawless, brown hair out of her eyes. 
"Marina!"
A girl with cropped cyan hair ran to her, her backpack slung over one shoulder and an overflowing folder in the other.
"Riali!"
She ran to meet the girl, and they embraced quickly.

"WHAT FORM ARE YOU IN?????" Riali asked, concerned
"Chill!! We'll say it at the same time ok??" The other girl nodded "3,2,1"
"Se Blue"
"Se blue"
"Yes!!" Riali folder-fived Marina, "throughout the entirety of our school lives we have ALWAYS been in the same form!! OFFICIALLY!"
"I knew we wouldn't break the streak!!"

The girls giggled to each other as they dawdled into the building, discussing what other classes they were in, and how annoying their teachers were, and how Ms Greene was pregnant for the fourth time... since they had begun high school!

They sat down in form, next to each other, as their form tutor, Mrs Hewoni Called attendance,
"Thomas ?"
"Here!"
"Rachel?"
"Yes miss!"
"Michael ?"
"Mhm."
"Riali?"
A wave of awkward silence rushed around the classroom, the only thing that could be heard was the whispers and giggles coming from the table at the back.
"What? Oh sorry! Yes I'm here miss!"

The bell sounded eventually and the students filed out of the classroom. Marina waved goodbye to Riali and headed to her locker to get her science book and put away her bag. She was shoving her bag into the minuscule locker as Euán walked up to her.

"Hey baby!" He said in a low tone that made her jump.
"Oh my god you scared me! How was Dubai?"
"Dubai? Wha- oh yeah! Yeah it was awesome! 3 whole months in...Dubai was really stress relieving!"
"That's good! I missed you!"
"I missed you too babe!" At this he leant down and kissed her briefly. Marina leant in for more but he pulled away and wiped his lip hurriedly. "I have to go, I have math. See you around!"
He walked away quickly and was around the corner before she knew it.
"Oh- bye!"

The school day dragged on, though as it was first day there really wasn't that much work, but somehow that made it even more dull.

Lunchtime finally arrived and When Riali got to he spot under the tree Marina was already there waiting for her, with a sly look on her face.

"Oh. My. god."

They burst out laughing as Riali sat down and began to take her lunch out of her rucksack.
"How did you beat me? I thought I would be the winner all year-again!"
"Secret."
Riali eyed her up suspiciously.
"I had sports before this, we were doing hockey and the field is right there" She said with a smile as she gestured to the field.
"Beaten. Wounded." Riali said whilst biting back a smile
"You're such a drama queen!"
They burst out laughing again.
