A few weeks have passed, and thankfully I have made quite a few friends. Well, not actually friends. Just, someone to talk to, for a very short time. Like, if I want to ask something regarding the activities or instructions given, I would ask a few of my classmates. Or, when we see each other in the hallway, we would exchange "hello's" or "hey's" like that. But wouldn't talk in school.
Seriously, what's that even called? An unknown acquaintance?? Is there such thing?
Jeez, this is hard.

During our last period, English, Sir Irving got us grouped according to rolled up random papers that had our names on each.
I don't recognize each and every one of my group mates' surname's written on the board. Except for Pres, yes, he's my group mate.
There are only a few of us written on the 1st group. Me, Pres, Noah, Marion, and Kai.
Sir continued choosing and unrolling random papers in the drool box.
"Last members in group 1 are," sir read the papers slowly. "O'Brien, and Navarro"
My eyes widen. Navarro? As in Athena Navarro?
Me, trying to avoid the one person I dislike and probably dislikes me too. And now, we're both stuck in the same well.
Oh, how lucky am I to be a part of this team.
"Geez Noah, we're in the same team." I heard Athena say to Noah from behind.
I looked at the back and glance at her. She's sitting between Noah and O'Brien.
The three of them glanced at me with smug on their face. "Good, we're on the same team." Noah smiled at me a bit.
I nodded, couldn't bring myself to smile in front of Athena.
O'Brien didn't look my way for too long.
Athena smirk nastily. I looked back at the front and sighed.
Everything's going to be fine, I remind myself. As long as you keep that firm heart of yours.
"That would be it for now, next week I will be giving you your first group task in English. Goodbye class." Sir Irving stood up and left the room.
Yes!! It's the weekend. I won't be thinking about high school drama for a while. For now. Although I'm worried about my upcoming future, with my group mates especially Athena. I'm worried she might say something mean to me. She, Noah, and O'Brien.
The golden trio.
That's what I call them. I didn't much know about Noelle O'Brien. He's just a snotty, cold, type of person. I haven't talked to him since. And I think he's someone I won't get along with, ever.
"What's your last name again?" Someone poke my shoulder behind.
I turned around and saw Pres. "Oh, Ashley... Ashley Paulino." He nodded, and wrote my name on the list of group members.
He let out his phone from his pocket and searched something. "Is this your account?"
He face the screen to me. I nodded. "Okay, then... be notified that I will be adding you to our group chat." He said.
"Okay" I nodded.
"Have a nice weekend!" He then turned to leave.
"You too" I shout from the back.
First Convo with our class president. Cool.
"Hey, you coming?" Aubrey grabbed her bag from the chair and nod toward the door.
