It's me, Casper.

Chapter 1a. - First Day (but the school part).

              My first three classes go great. Biology, maths, and world history, finished. They were all just introductions and plans for the new school year, but that was okay with me. Right now, I get to eat.

             Jakob finds me and we sit down together. We talked about our days, classes, blah blah blah. I made the conversation more fun by asking what he thinks I should do for my birthday, when I get cut off.

        "Hey, can I sit here?"

        I twist my head behind me to see someone smiling like an idiot, but I don't mind. "Sure, what's your name?", I ask, without hesitating. Jakob smiles. "We're already making friends," he says, cheerily.

        "Anyway, my name is Emma." She has obnoxious magenta highlights and the goofiest smile on her face, looking like this 🤗. "What are your names?"

        "I'm Casper." "I'm Jakob," we announced simultaneously and awkwardly. Suddenly, another figure walks up to us and asks to join. "My name is Lucas. Can I sit here?"

        The three of us obviously agree and we instantly all become our own little friend group. "So, are you guys new here? I haven't seen any of you before. Except Lucas, but I've, like, never talked to you," Emma chimed in.

         "We're new to the school, yeah. We're also new to this whole area," replies Lucas. Emma just has to know everything, "Where did you come from?". "Denmark." I answer with zero tone in my voice. Emma has about a quadrillion more questions. "What language do you speak?" "Where is it?" "How's the weather there?" "Hey, wasn't LEGO invented there?"

        As Emma goes on and on, asking Jakob the questions this time, I spend some time talking with Lucas. He has long brown hair and big brown eyes. We talk and exchange phone numbers. I ask Emma for hers too, which is a mistake, because after we exchange, she turns to me to ask the questions again.

        To save me from Emma's endless inquiries, lunch ends. I check my schedule. Phys. Ed, English, and Choir. I love choir.

         Phys. Ed. goes well. We play football (which they call 'soccer' here) and I got to be in my favorite position (goalkeeper). I like it because it's quiet. I stop to think about my day so far and realize Lucas is in almost all of my classes. I also realize that I've been early to everything today. Maybe we're just more punctual in Denmark.

        Next is English. I don't know why they make us take English if everyone here is proficient in the language, but English is my second language so I let the teacher go on and on about grammar mistakes that probably no one makes.

        Finally, choir. I looove choir. All we do, though, is talk about voice types, test voice ranges, assort sections, and talk about posture. I'm a tenor, which means that I sing and speak in a higher pitch and with less weight than other boys.

  (author note: not the gif).

        Jakob and I walk home and I create a group chat of Lucas, Jakob, Emma, and me. Everyone instantly starts texting and Emma starts asking us all those Denmark questions from lunch. Turns out she wrote them down. We answer all of them because we figured we wouldn't have to deal with it later if we did.

        Peter and Alma are running around the apartment recklessly, making as much noise as they want, until Sofia and Mom come home.

        We talk about our days over dinner and I tell them about Emma and Lucas. The bad thing? While I talk about Lucas, I stumble and stutter over some words. I don't think much of it, but Sofia looks like she's taking that in, and when she takes things in like that, including facial expressions and hand gestures, she can basically read your mind.

        I just get homework over with and go to sleep, ready for the next day.
