My new school was much more difficult than I thought.I got lost in my own school on the first day.I was new so I started to wander around, looking for my classroom.A few minutes later,I was called to the principal's office to receive the official book containing the rules and regulations of the school.It was a small thick book which probably contained about 150 rules if you ask me,along with the school map.There were many rooms that each new student was given a map to find his or her classroom.
Eventually I found my class using 15 minutes.
Our first subject was history and almost all our teachers had long and fancy names like Servepalli Radhakrishnan,Stretchberry,William McGuffey,Maria Montessori and Albus Edward.Most of them were difficult to remember so I decided to use miss and sir to talk to them. History class was by far the longest class I have ever had! Thankfully,we had a one hour break.It felt like the longest day in school and I was more exhausted than ever .

Darien decided to show me around after school and I decided to give my mom a call since I haven't spoken to her ever since I landed in New York,but she didn't pick up which was strange because my mom was always on her phone.So I decided to call Zach but even his phone wasn't reachable either.I began to get worried since this wasn't like them .Maybe they fought and he did something to my mom.

The next day was a holiday and so I decided to look around the city and find a job as well .But as I was leaving Darien called for me and told me his parents wanted to have diner with me to get to know me better and so I decided to stay home and have dinner with them .
As I sat with them at dinner,they started asking me questions about the work my parents did and if I came from a wealthy family .I decided to change the topic avoiding their strange questions which I didn't know how to answer .I made sure to find an excuse why I didn't want to talk about my family and they finally let it go .I finished my food fast and stayed in my room for the rest of the night.
The next morning, I was awoken by knocks on my door and opened it to see Darien.
"May I help you with anything?"I asked confused
"I came to apologize for my parents behavior , it's quite complicated with them for some reason".
"It's fine" I said as I smiled.
As I went downstairs for breakfast,I saw a girl with beautiful brown hair and blue eyes who held a suitcase in her hand.
"Hello"I said with a shy smile.
I introduced myself and asked for her name.
"I'm Natalie, Darien's -"

"Sis"Darian exclaimed as he rushed downstairs and hugged her
"This is my sister Natalie, she just came from abroad and I would like to speak to her in private if you don't mind"he said in a tensed tone

He pushed her into the store room with a nervous smile and I just walked away wondering why he seemed to be nervous.
