"Have a nice day at school sweetheart!"
my mom yelled at me as I was walking out the door.

"Okay, bye." I replied.

I got on the bus, and exactly as I hoped, but I have no clue why, three girls came and say next to me

"Hi! I'm Emily, that's Sydney, and that's Summer. Are you new here?"
A girl with medium length brown hair, with blonde highlights perkily asked me. If perkily is even a word.

"Yeah, I just moved here from America." I informed her.

"That's so cool! I love your accent."

"Thanks, it seems to me that you're the one with the accent." I chuckled.

She laughed,
"Oh Yeah, it does doesn't it. Oh, and I still didn't get your name."

"I'm Dalila," I replied, "but you can call me Lila, I prefer that better I guess."

"Coolness!", Sydney jumped in, "so I guess you don't have friends yet?"

I silently giggled, "well no, I guess not."

"Okay. So since that," Summer suddenly said, "you should sit with us at lunch, people can be harsh at school by the way."

"Haha, well thanks for the information." I added.

"So, what classes do you have?"
Emily asked with wide eyes.

"Well, I have choir for 4th period."

"Really?! Same here! Summer and Sydney don't, but I do. And so does Luke." Emily informed me.

"Luke? Who's that?" I asked.

"He lives right next to you. He's one of the most popular and hottest guys in school." She giggled.

"Well, I haven't met any of my neighbors yet, you guys are the only people I've met here so far."
I informed her.

Once we got off the bus, Emily introduced me to a few more people.

I met Calum, Julie, Ashton, Michael, Lily, and Haylee, and Emily told me that Ashton, Calum, Michael, and the mystery boy Luke, that I still haven't met yet, are all in a band together.

"Let's go Lila!" Emily yelled through the hall while holding onto my arm.
"We have choir and You're gonna meet Luke!"

"I'm going as fast as I can!" I laughed.
