It was 7:30 and I was getting ready for school. On a normal basis I would walk to school with my best, and only friend, Claire. Since it was only about a five minute walk, we would leave the house at 7:55.
A few minutes later the doorbell rang.

"ARIA, CLAIRE IS HERE!!" my two little twin brothers yelled at me simontaniously.

"Why is she so early?" I thought to myself.

I quickly finished dressing, knowing how impatient Claire would be, and ran down the stairs as fast as I could.

"Hey Aria come on. We're leaving now!"

"Why are you so early?" I asked

"I got here as fast as I could" she replied.

"There's no time to chat we only have a few minutes!!" She then said.

She dragged me to her house which was only across the street. When we reached her house, she dragged me to her room and showed me an outfit and told me to change into it as fast as possible.
It was burgundy skinny jeans, a white shirt with black horizontal lines, black and white hightops, and my dark blue glasses. With my black curly long hair, the blue really stands out, sometimes it's bad and others it's a big advantage. Today was not that day. Today the blue was standing out and it looked weird.
Wearing this I felt restricted because the only thing I wear is sweatpants. Was she saying I was ugly? Was she saying I was fat and needed to wear skinnier clothes? I already hear that but did my best friend have to tell me that?
Well it was like 7:50 now so I was just going to wear the outfit then talk to her tomorrow.

Walking into school in this outfit was like being a new student. Appereantly I'm not the only "new" student because there's actually a new student and he's a boy. I don't know his name yet but he seems like a Troy. He has dark brown hair, green eyes, he's pretty tall and seems athletic.
He was walking in this direction and suddenly I was really glad I wasn't wearing sweatpants.

As he was walking I was planning what to say. He was getting closer and I started blushing. No boy in this highschool has made me blush but this was an exception.
He was about 5 lockers away from me so I decided to look in my locker because I don't want him to think I was staring.
A few seconds later I looked up because I thought he should be here by now, then I saw him talking to Kate. I rolled my eyes then Claire tapped me.

"We're SO gonna be late to class!" She says emphasizing on so. "Ohh and you were totally checking him out!" She added.

"I was not!" I quickly lie, knowing she would soon find out.

"Young ladies, why are you late to class? You do not get late to my class!!" Says Mr. Blythfield
"Go to the office get a tardy slip

"Ugh! I hate Mr. Blythfield!! We seriously were just like five seconds late! Besides, right now he's probably just going to talk about us being late while we're gone so we might aswell take our time!" Says Clare
                                     ~~~
While they were gone, Mr. Blythfield assigns a quartor project. They were to write a song about everything they learned for that whole quartor and present it in front of the whole school in 9weeks. They can use any instrument and the song has to be ateast one minute.
                                    ~~~
"Can I help you?" Says Mrs.Vanderwall.
"We just need tardy slips" says Claire.
"Class is almost over did you guys just arrive?" She asks
"No, we've just been waiting for you" I said.
"Girls! I've been here you should have asked for me. Anyway, I don't want to delay you anymore so I will sign this. Which class are you going to?"
"We're going to Mr.Giddings' science class"
"Here you go" she says while handling us the tardy slip.
"Thanks" we say simotaniounsly
~~~~
We get back and sit at the very back of the class. I start glancing around the room to see if the new student is in this class, and to catch my attention, he is :)
Looking at the clock and there is 10 minutes left of class
"Well I have nothing left to say so I'm going to let our new student introduce himself. Oh and I din't forget. After class, I need to see Claire, Aria, and Kate, so here's the time you come up.

"My name is Ethan Byrd and I'm 15 years old. I just transferrged from Ridgewood Academy, and I'm into basketball"
"Thanks Mr. Byrd!" Says Mr. Blythfield
"Does anyone have any questions or comments for this young man?" He adds

Then suddenly a loud clear voice stands out and says "I do!!"
"Why are you here? Aren't you the lead player in your basketball in Ridgewood?" Asks Kate

"Ummm yea I was but I transferred here to take the AP classes." He says in a mummering tone
"The class is dismissed! I will see you all tomorrow. And don't wait too long to start your assignments" says Mr. Blythfield.

"What's the assignment?" Asks Claire
"Actually that's what I wanted to talk to you about" says Mr Blythfield. I want you Kate to tell them about the assignment. He then added.
~~~
Later that day, Kate was telling Claire and Aria about Mr. Blythfield's project.

"So what's the project?"
"You write a song"
"About anything?"
"Ya! It has to be at least five minutes long and it's due next week, partners are randomly picked tomorrow"

Kate lied to them because she knew Aria liked Ethan. She thought the best way to keep them from coming close was to give them both something to do.
Kate then went and told Ethan that to try out for basketball you had to have at least 60 hours of community classes.
