I wake up to the sound of Katherine knocking on my door "Sweetie" she says poking her head in the door "are you awake?". "Yeah" I say yawning "what time is it?" "Its 6am" she replies. I was so tired yesterday I fell asleep after Alex left. Katherine sat down at the end of my bed. "So" she paused "How are you feeling with today being your first day in school or even just overall,did the boys treat you right?" she asks with a sweet smile. "Im feeling good, im excited"I lied. I wanted to go back to my old school, to my old friends. "And yes, don't worry the boys treated me great" I say smiling at her."Okay good, I better let you get ready then and i'll go make breakfast" I smiled at her as she walked out.
It was the end of summer so the weather was not too hot but not too cold. I put on a pair of jeans and a white top and i brought a gilet jacket just in case.I styled my hair and put on some makeup. I put on some of my sisters jewellery also. I know she would have wanted to me to have it. I stand in the mirror for a few minutes just thinking.What if something goes wrong? What if i make a fool out of myself? I pull myself together and head downstairs to the kitchen. "Morning!" Katherine says over the sizzling bacon "want some?". "Im not that hungry i'll just take an apple". "Are you sure? You didn't have any dinner last night." "Yeah im sure but thank you it looks delicious" I say and she looks concerned but did not mention anything about it. I sit at the dining table across the way from Cole. "So LA how was your first night?" he says smirking. "LA? did you forget my name or something and now you're going to call me LA?" i say laughing. "How could I ever forget your name Els" he winked and
blew a kiss and headed down the hall way up the stairs. "Ignore him" Danny said. "He flirts with every woman he sees, he even flirted with an 80 year old lady at the store once". I laughed. "Does he have a girlfriend" I asked. "Not really, theres this girl Erin who he's on and off with but I don't think it's too serious" I felt relieved when he said its not too serious and i don't know why. I went up to the bathroom and brushed my teeth then I went to my room and got my bag for school. Cole brings a group of us to school. Me,Alex,Danny, and Nathan. The others go with Katherine and George.I hopped in the back seat between Alex and Danny. It was a silent journey until Cole put on his rap music on the way into the school gates to 'impress' the girls. We all walked into the school building through different doors but Danny walked in with me. Danny is probably my closest friend here so far. "I'll show you to the reception where they will give you your timetable and your locker number but after that i'll have to go to my play rehearsal"he says as we walk in the door. "Thats fine, what play are you doing?" I ask "The merchant of venice" he replies "oh cool, Shakespere right?" I question. "Thats right, anyways here we are, I better go" he says "Oh and good luck" he shouts running down the hall to the auditorium.

I find my locker just before the bell rang and put my books for other classes in. I check my timetable and it says I have english first. Thank god there's a map of the school on the back of the sheet. I walk into the class and I feel relieved when i see Alex is in my english class with a free seat next to him. "Can I sit here?" I say interrupting him from his book."Oh yeah sure" he says. "What are you reading?" I ask "The Outsiders" he replies. "I love that book,nothing gold can stay" I say but before he could reply the teacher enters. He writes his name on the board and I write it into my journal so I don't forget. Mr.Brown. "Good morning all, as you can see we have a new student" he points towards me. shit. "Please can you stand up and state a fact about yourself". I stand up reluctantly."Uhm my name is Elsie and Im from LA". I was about to sit back down until he asked me why I would move from LA to Colorado. I struggled to get words out of my mouth as I didn't want rumours going around that 'the new girl is basically an orphan' At this point everyone was staring at me until Alex stood up and told him that I was staying with his family for the year like an exchange student. "An exchange student from the same country?" Mr Brown questions. "Yep" Alex says. "Right...thank you Elsie" he says to Alex and everyone laughs. We sat down "Thank you" I whisper to him smiling "No problem" he says.

A few classes went past and it was lunch time I caught up to Danny in the lunch line and asked where Cole was he said he was probably making out with some girl outside. Danny had to leave soon after though. Auditions for another play. I could hear two people in the line talking about me and when one of them turned around they ushered the other to stop talking "Oh hi" one of them says "Hi" i said. "Im Skylar and this is Grace" the boy said. He had a buzz cut and was tall, the girl has brunette hair down to her shoulders and was a little taller then me. "Sorry if you heard us,Its just we don't get a lot of new people in this school, we were excited" Grace said. "Its okay I get it" I said. I didn't mind, It was a small town after all. "Please sit with us" Skylar said. "Sure" I replied. I didn't mind sitting with them. They seemed nice and I wanted to make friends that aren't apart of the Walters. We sat at a table near the corner of the cafeteria. "So what are you doing here? In Colorado I mean" Skylar said. I decided to tell them the truth because I think we will be good friends. "NO WAY!" Grace said when I mentioned I live with the Walters. "What?" i said confused "You live with the hottest boys in this school!" she said. "Oh" I said. I didn't know how to reply to that. "I mean Isaac,Lee,Alex and especially Cole you lucky,lucky girl" Grace said excitedly."And Nathan" Skylar added "oh im girly pop..if you couldn't tell" Skylar said. I laughed. "So have you had the cole effect yet i mean living with him and all" Grace said. "The cole effect?" i questioned. Grace sat up in her chair ready to tell me everything "so you know how hes like super super hot right? basically the cole effect is that Cole can basically get any girl he wants, because he's like super hot of course". I stopped her while laughing because I think I got her point. "So anyone took your fancy?" Skylar asked. "Maybe" I said smirking but before any questions could be asked the bell rang for the next class. "Lets all grab pizza after school we'll be outside by the big tree" Skylar said while collecting his books. "Sure" I said. We walked opposite ways. I met Nathan in the hallway and told him to tell Cole not to wait up for me because im going out with friends after school and to tell Katherine when they get home.
