*time skip to first day of school*

I'm woken up by an aggressive shaking motion "Diya what happened to the expensive alarm clock I bought you?" My mom lectures me

"I... um. Lost it. Yeah! That's what I did. Lost it." I make up excuses because I know she would MURDER me if she knew I threw it away.

"Whatever. No use arguing it now. Get dressed please my love." She changes from angry to sweet so quick, one of her many skills.

I swing open my closet door and plan how I'll get away with my inappropriate clothes. A major perk of living away from home: you can have slutty clothes. I wasn't really in the mood to hide my outfit from mom, so I decided to go with an outfit she'd DEFINITELY let me wear.

I rush to slide on my grey sweats, and pair them with a tight white tank top. "DEE!!!! WE GOTTA GO!" Devi yells out to me. 

Shit. I didn't do my makeup. I suddenly remember. Me and Devi walk to school so I decide to grab a mirror and do it while we walk, it isn't exactly something I haven't done before.

As we're walking, and I'm putting my mascara and highlight on, me and Devi talk for forever about school and she tells me how we're meeting Fab and Eleanor in front of the school. I'd hung out with the girls a few times over the summer. They were nice I guess, but they were Devi's and I wanted my own bestfriends.

We walk up to the girls and they start to scan my outfit or something, before saying at the exact same time, "I LOVE YOUR OUTFIT!" I just smile in response.

As we walk up the steps, Devi's telling Fab and El about her plan to date boys or something like that, I just tune them out and go on my phone. As soon as we step foot into the building, I can feel all the eyes on me.

"Who is that?" I hear jealousy in some girls' tones

"Damn" A long-haired guy says to his curly-haired friend, "Who's that and why the fuck is she with the UN" Wtf is the UN.

Other boys crowd around and they start to talk, "I think she's new. Maybe the indian nerd's cousin or something?" I scoff when I hear that and just walk away, finding my way to the office. Devi doesn't even notice my absence, and when I look back she's still talking about god knows what to the girls.

My hands touch the cold handle of the office door, and in that exact moment, the curly haired boy from earlier opens the door from the inside, checks me out, winks, then leaves. Must've snuck out of the crowd. 

He's cute, but I've met boys like that, I've dated a boy like him, they're all ass-wipe players. Could that be the infamous Paxton? I wonder; I think back to the photos Devi'd shown me one night. Eh whatever. I don't really care that much.

I finally open the office doors and talk to the sweet old lady at the front desk, who hands me my schedule, and tells me if I get lost to use "this", a map that she hands me in the middle of her sentence. I thank her and start to navigate the school.

I do end up getting lost and am 5 minutes late to class. I arrive out of breath and everyone in the room just stares at me. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I got lost." I explain to the teacher, my schedule recognizes him as "Mr Shapiro"

"That's quite all right." He assures me, "You're our new student, right? You can call me Mr S" I nod at that, everyone began to chat while we were in conversation, so "Mr S" has to yell to quiet everyone down, I scan the classroom and see that Eleanor, Devi, Fab, (maybe) Paxton, and this boy Ben that Devi always complains about, are all in my class, "OK EVERYONE! This is our new student Diya, she transferred here from Europe. Diya, tell everyone about yourself."
