When I woke up this morning I made breakfast for everyone. I set the table and went upstairs to shower. As I was showering I couldn't stop thinking about how stressful today will be. All new kids. All new teachers. All new town. IP'm nervous. What if I don't find friends and I have to be lonely. I tried to not think about it as I stepped out of the shower. My wet feet left prints on the floor as I went to my room.

Getting dressed was the easiest thing I had done all morning. I chose a pair of blue jeans and a white cut up t shirt. As I was putting my jewelry on a knock echoed through my room. It was so loud it almost made me jump. My heart started pounding and my vision blurred. Breathe. It's okay. They can't come get you any more.

"Luna. Are you okay? It's almost time for school" my mom's voice said. I snapped back from the visions.

"Yeah..mo..mom I'm fine" I responded with a shaky voice. My mom opened the door and held put her hand. My medication bottle was in her hand.

"You're out of your medication. I'm gonna have to get you some more honey okay? You're going to have to go all day without them. I kind of don't want you to do go school either." She explained sweetly.

"I'll be fine mom. If I need anything I'll call you. I just don't want to seem like the weird kid for having-" I started and she cut me off.

"You aren't the weird kid and you won't be. Just the second anything happens call me please. I'm getting your pills soon." She stated kissing my head and walking out. I grabbed a flannel and put it on. Brushing my hair and grabbing my stuff I went downstairs.

"Look mom made breakfast" Maxine stated smiling as I entered the kitchen.
I

didn't like to tell Maxine that her favorite breakfast is made by me. Mom can't make it. She tried but it fails every time.

So we just set a routine. Anyways i ate quickly before leaving with my sister. We walked slowly to the school. Right before we dropped off my sister to the middle school we saw a group of high school boys walked by. There was one who caught my eye. He had blonde long curly hair. He was wearing a Jean jacket and jeans. This boy looked so handsome. I guess my sister caught me looking because she made a smart ass comment.

"Damn should've brought your camera loon" She joked smiling and shoving me. I scoffed while rolling my eyes

"What? a new school means new boys." I joked back laughing. She laughed and I said goodbye soon following the group of boys. When I got to the high school everyone was already in their little groups and I haven't even gone inside yet. As I was about to cross the road a blue 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 sped past me and parked horrible. I crossed the road and as I got to the sidewalk that lead up to the doors I ran into someone.

"Sorry" I whispered looking up at whoever it was. He also had curly blonde hair.

"It was my fault. You okay?" He asked smiling. I nodded.

"I'm gonna guess you're new?" He asked laughing and I nodded again.

"You're quiet" he joked and I giggled.

"Sorry" I said.

"I'm William but i cant stand that name so everyone calls me billy" he explained holding his hand out.
