ASHLEY EVAN'S PERSPECTIVE

"Be slow to fall into friendship, but when thou art in, continue firm and constant." was something my Dad told me when I started school. I've never had trouble making friends, ever. But something about it has worried me ever since I've been living in Detroit. I moved here this summer and haven't gotten to talk to many people my age, so maybe starting freshmen year, things around here will change!

TYLER: Ash, you want me to drive you? Or are you taking the bus?

ASHLEY: I think I'll start taking the bus so I know where to go 'case you can't drive me.

TYLER: 'ight. I'll see you after school and make sure to lock the door cuz ian' getting in trouble again for your mistakes.

ASHLEY: Whatever.

I go down the stairs to get some cereal but before I even open the pantry, I hear the bus stopping around the corner! I quickly put my shoes on and check myself in the mirror before I start running down the street with my school bag. Out of breath, I catch the bus and I sit in the front. The bus driver stops one last time around the corner and I see 3 boys get on. A tall one with weird looking glasses, a neat , vest wearing Jewish boy, and a cute boy with a nice smile. When we arrived at McKinley,  I went straight to the office to pick up my schedule. To cure some of my anxiety, I went to the restroom to make sure I looked decent and didn't embarrass myself. I guess I lost track of time worrying about how I looked and before I knew it, the bell rang! And of course my first class was across the school.

SAM WEIR'S PERSPECTIVE

NEAL: So you're saying you didn't talk to Cindy all summer? Not even a call? Dude just break up with her.

SAM: I wanna talk to her first- oh there she is! Hey Cindy!

CINDY: Hi Sam! How was your summer?

SAM: Cindy, why didn't you call me? Like at all? Every time I called you it went to voicemail.

CINDY: I was busy.  You know I had cheer camp as well.  Why can't you remember anything?

BILL: Sam, don't let her talk to you like that..

*BELL RINGS*
SAM:  We'll talk later Cindy.

CINDY:  Whatever. I gotta go.

ASHLEY EVAN'S PERSPECTIVE

Of course, when I walked in all eyes are on me. Great.

MR. CRUZ: And you're....

ASHLEY:  Ashley Evans.

MR. CRUZ:  Yes! Of course.  Well Ashley, you're late. First tardy of the school year on the first day isn't good. Take a seat next to Bill, the boy with the glasses back there.

Just my luck, I already embarrassed myself and I have to sit next to the weird kid.

MR. CRUZ: Class, before we start learning anything, let's get to know one another. Turn to the person next to you and introduce yourselves!
