It was Friday. Second day at the school. The counselor recommended I go with Maya to the bake sale. Maya was there and insisted I go with her so there was no getting out of it. I had to get up earlier because we had to be their by the time school open.

" So this is our wonderful bake sale. Cookies and brownies are $3 each. A piece of cake is $5." Maya said.

" Cake at 7:30 in the morning. This school just gets worse and worse."

"Listen I know it's hard being new but your a cool person. You'll fit in"

That's the thing. I don't want to fit in here

I just responded to her with a smile.

Students were coming in wanting every sweet they could get their hand on.

"Hey. Could I get a 2 brownies" a light skinned girl said.

She was really pretty

"Yea sure. It'll be $6."

"Damn $3 for one brownie. This school really is money hungry"

"Yea I guess so" I chuckled.

" What's your name. Your really pretty." She said. It caught me off guard.

" My name is Taylen. Yours?"
" Raelyn. Are you new here? How come I've never seen you before?"

" Yea. My mom and I moved here for  Texas. My first day was yesterday."

"Oh. Welcome. How you liking it so far."

Its been better since I met you
"It's been okay. I'll get adjusted"

"Okay. Just let me know if you need anything. Here I can give you my number."

"Okay." I said happily

We swapped phones and put in our numbers.

"See you around love."she said walking away.

" girl y'all was flirting for real." Maya said

" Yea i guess so"


When I got home that afternoon the first thing I did was go upstairs and text Raelyn
