Taylor's POV
I could feel Lauren's hand shaking. She was so nervous. I squeezed her hand and smiled at her.
"You ok Lauz?" I ask.
"Yeah," she answers. "Just a little nervous.".
"Don't worry. I'm with you every step of the way, remember?". She doesn't reply. Just carries on walking. We are almost there. I can see lots of other people looking just as nervous as Lauren. It must be their first day too. Weirdly, I don't feel nervous. I guess it's because I make friends really easily, due to my self-confidence. But Lauren doesn't have that. The only person that believes in her is me...
Lauren's POV
I am so nervous right now. I know Taylor is trying to make me feel better but it isn't working. There are so many people around us, all going to the same place. I am shaking with nerves. We are only 5 metres away from the school. I can see the large metal gates open, beckoning us to go inside. On top of the gates are long metal spikes. That is what scared me the most, the fact that they need metal spikes on top of their gates...
I see adults welcoming us, smiling. I want to smile and enjoy it but I can't. I am just too nervous. Just outside the gates, we stop and Taylor looks at me.
"You ready Lauz?" she asks.
"Ready," I say, slightly more confident and we step through the gates together.

(No ones POV)
Lauren and Taylor look up at the big building. There are lots of people waiting outside in the sunshine. Girls talking to each other and boys talking to each other. There are also lots of younger girls and boys standing alone or in twos, avoiding eye contact with people.
"Should we go and make friends with someone?" asked Taylor. Lauren looked at her friend. She knew that that was what Taylor really wanted to do, so gave up being scared and did something for her friend instead.
"Yes, yes we should," answered Lauren. Taylor smiled.
"Come on, let's go,". So Taylor dragged her friend off around the school grounds in the attempt to meet someone new.
