First day.

6:50 AM, 22.12.2008

Today was the first day of going to another school.
Im not gonna lie, I was anxious and a bit stressful how was it gonna go. My alarm went off and I groaned once I heard it, it was so annoying having to hear that every day now, except the weekends of course.

I shut it off and stared at the ceiling before getting up and rubbing my eyes. I opened up my blinds and the streets were icy and covered in snow while the streetlamp was still shining like a bright star.

Shortly after, I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth aswell as washed my face. I got ready and put on a pair of black cargo jeans with a white tight long sleeve shirt. I put my hair up in a claw clip and left two strands of hair dangling infront of my face.

I walked downstairs and realised my parents were still sleeping. I put a note on the table, slipped on my converse, grabbed my jacket and went outside with my backpack hanging on my shoulder.

I walked down the icy paths of the neighbourhood and located the school using my phone. 15 minutes later, I got infront of the school.

Leipzig Gymnasium.

"Here we go." I mumble under my breath before sighing, my heart was beating fast as my hands grabbed the door handle. Yea, socializing is not for me.

As soon as I went in the school, I saw many people walking and talking. As I walked through the crowd I felt eyes on me, almost everyone was looking at me and whispering. My hands were a bit shaky but I managed to get to the principals office. Knocking on the door, I hear the principals voice.

"Come in." the principal said.

I slowly opened the door, revealing a woman on the desk, typing on her laptop. She was in her mid 30's with long straight brown hair and black round glasses.

"Hello, I am Chloe Muller, the new transfer here?" I say as I sit on one of the chairs infront of her.

"Oh, Chloe! Its nice to meet you. I am Sophia Meyer, the principal." She said with a smile as she shut off her laptop and looked at me.

"Its very nice to meet you too, Ms. Meyer." I slap on a small smile on my face.

"Thank you dear, now, im gonna need you to fill this out and when you're done, ill give you your locker number and your schedule."

She gave me a paper with all sorts of personal questions, I fill it out and hand it to her. She hands me the locker number and my schedule.

"Im sure you're gonna fit in nicely, your record of grades is excellent Chloe. If you ever have trouble or problems, you can always come by here. Oh and by the way, tommorow you're gonna come again here so I can give you a list of books you're going to rent from the library."

"Thank you so much Ms. Meyer, ill be on my way then. Goodbye."

I stand up from my seat and wave a small goodbye before leaving her office. As I walked around the hallways looking for my class, I bumped into a guy.

"I-uh, im so sorry. I should have watched."

God damnit Chloe, not again. Its your first day and you're already so clumsy?

"Its alright, dont worry about it."

The guy said and looked down, he helped me get up which I thanked him for it. He had black cornrows and a matching bandana, he was also...tall. Real tall and wore baggy clothing, he reminded me of Tom a bit with his dreads.

"Uh, are you new here? Never saw you before."

"Oh uh yes, its my first day so im a bit lost." I was slightly embarrassed as I sort the papers in my hands.

"Right. Um-" He quickly got interrupted by two girls calling and running after him.

"I gotta go, uh, ill see ya around." He said before waving a small goodbye and left after the two girls. I never catched his name but he was nice.

I finally found my class and knocked on the door before going in. Taking a deep breath, the teacher announced me. I went in and stood next to the teacher. My social anxiety was really kicking in and my heart was beating fast as I analyzed the class.

I also noticed the guy that I bumped into was sitting with a girl while looking at me. Thoughts ran through my mind.

What if my new class dont like me? Am i ugly dressed? What if they start bullying me?

After the teacher said some things, I introduced myself.

"Hi, im Chloe, Chloe Muller and I am 18 years old, i hope that we can all be friends."

I slap a smile on my face again and I sat next to a boy, he had pale skin and brown fluffy hair with beautiful brown eyes. He looked familiar.

"Is it okay if I sit here?" I ask pointing at the chair beside him.

"Yea, of course." he said with a smile as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Thanks." I smile back and sit next to him.

"Im Leo by the way."

"Oh, Leo, thats a nice name."

"Thanks, where are you from?" he asks curiously.

"Oh uh, originally from here, but I come from America too. You?" I ask while unpacking my notebook and pencilcase.

"Nice, im from here too." he says with a chuckle.

"Wait, are you the girl I bumped into the day before yesterday?" he asks curiously.

"Oh, wait..in the neighbourhood?"

"Yea! Its you, right?"

"Yep, its me. Sorry again for that, im a bit clumsy sometimes." I say with a nervous chuckle.

"Its okay. Dont worry about it. The world is so small." he laughed lightly.

We continue talking the whole class, he was really fun to talk to, but I felt as if someone was laying eyes on me the whole time in class, like they were piercing through my head. I mean, I did catch that guy with braids staring at me and when we would make eye contact he would look away, strange.
