The day started as normal, I got up from bed and went to my bathroom to take a shower and do my morning skin care routine. "Emma, ​​beeil dich, du willst nicht zu spät zur Schule kommen." (Emma hurry up you dont wanna be late for school)
"Alles klar, Mama. Ich ziehe gerade meine Klamotten an." (Alright mom. Just putting on my clothes)
I pick out some blue jeans and a band tee for Metallica, then i put on my black sk8-high Van's and grabbed my bag. I raced down the stairs. "Mom I'm leaving and taking an apple. See you after school." "Ok be careful Emma." She replied as I closed the door. I bit the apple as I raced to school.

Once I got there I ran up a couple stairs to get to the cafeteria. I got a muffin with my credits and sat at my usual table, alone like I preferred. Some kids laughed at me for being a loner but I didnt care because I had my music. I put on my Metallica playlist and ate my food.

I was getting ready to get up to put my trash in the bin when 4 kids walked through the door. Everyone was whispering about how they looked. To be honest only one of them really looked German. Well I was guessing they were German. There was a kid with black spiky hair and he had real bold black eye makeup. He had a lip piercing and an eyebrow piercing. The other one had dreadlocks pulled in a ponytail. He was wearing very baggy clothing. He also had a lip piercing. He was wearing a white baseball cap and it had a sweat band underneath. The third guy had long straight hair. Finally the last guy had short blonde hair, he looked like an innocent kid, he was the one that really looked German. They walked over to my table, ignoring everyone's whispers. "Hi." I said. "Hallo, mein Name ist Bill." (Hello my name is Bill.)  "mein Name ist Emma. Wer sind die anderen?" (My name is emma. Who are the others?) "Tom, Gustav and Georg." Bill said in English this time. "So you do speak English?" I asked, my German accent strong. "Well it's not that good, but we are learning." Georg said. "Oh, ich verstehe. Dann werde ich Deutsch sprechen, bis ihr mehr Englisch lernt. Ich bin halb Amerikaner, mein Vater spricht zu Hause viel Deutsch, aber wenn er nicht zu Hause ist, spreche ich Deutsch. Mein Vater ist Amerikaner, meine Mutter ist Deutsche." (oh i see. then ill speak german untill you guys learn more English. im half American, my dad speaks it a lot at home but when he isnt home i speak german. my father is american my mother is german.)

We had a conversation with each other, getting to know one another before the bell rang. I asked what classes they had. Tom had LA, Science, Music, and Engineering. Bill had all my classes. Georg has Arts, LA, Biology, and Technology. Gustav has Biology, Music, and the last two are the same as mine.

So since me and Bill had the same classes I would be walking with him to every class. People pointed and whispered. I can hear what some people were saying, I hoped Bill didnt hear it. Some of them were saying "there goes the loner with the f@ggot." (Sorry about that.) Others said "there goes the wanna be lone star with the emo girl." Poor Bill some people called him gay slurs others called him a she. I really hoped he didnt hear any of it.

The teachers in every class assigned Bill to sit with me. Good now I can stick up for him if he needed it especially since hes sitting next to me. I liked Bill but I kinda think that Tom is cuter. We'll see what the future holds, for now I want to remain friends.

At the end of the day we all walked home together. I gave the boys a hug, when I got to Tom my stomach filled with butterflies. "Alright see yall tomorrow ok!" I called as they walked away. "Ok!" They each said.

"Oh, wer waren sie, Emma?" (Oh who wer they emma?) My mom teased. "Just a few school friends mum." I said in English and walked up to my room to do my homework.

A while later I heard a knock at my door. "Emma? You in there?" My dad asked. "Yea I'm in here." I replied. I had my usual conversation with my dad about how our days went and if anything new happened. I told him about how I made 4 new friends and what their names were and all that. He said he was happy I was finally making friends then laughed. "Only kidding. But still I'm really glad you've got someone else to talk to. I'm gonna go downstairs watch some tv. Get some rest Emma." My dad said walking out of my room, gently closing the door behind him. I sighed thinking about the things everyone was saying about Bill. Bill doesn't deserve that hes so nice. One of these days imma have to punch someone. I then daydreamed about Tom. I fell asleep thinking about Tom. I'm excited for tomorrow.
