The new girl in town.... I hate being her! We moved just before my last year in school... I know no one here..

•Monday•
Well it's lunch time my day hasn't been the worst but could definitely be better...

I was walking to my locker when I tripped and dropped all my books!

Ophelia: fuck! Not this, not now!
Everyone around started laughing. My anxiety rose and I felt everything going black.

Boy: are you okay? Here I'll help you!

Ophelia: yeah I'm fine. Thanks!
When I looked up to see the boy who was helping me i couldn't help but gasp a bit. He has this longer fluffy hair... his eyes are the definition of ice blue... i forgot how to speak.

Chris: I'm Chris!

Ophelia: nice to meet you Chris! I'm Ophelia Ca-
I was cut off.

Mean Girl: Chris! Why the hell are you talking to another girl?!
She grabbed his arm and ripped him away... before he got to far he mouthed "bye" to me...

I walked into the cafeteria and found an empty table in the corner to eat at so I could be as far away from everyone as possible! Mid bite of my food I heard a familiar voice!

(Maybe) Chris: hey! Mind if I sit with you?

Ophelia: Oh Hey Chris! Sure!

Matt: you must have met my brother already. I'm actually Matt!

Ophelia: oh my god... I'm so sorry!
I let my head fall into my hands with embarrassment.

Matt: no it's okay! It happens all the time actually. Kinda butthurt he didn't say anything about us!

Ophelia: us?

Matt: yeah, Nick me and Chris! Were triplets.

Ophelia: well, in his defense he got ripped away from the conversation before it could even really start...

Matt: Erika?

Ophelia: must have been... I'm not quite sure, I'm new here....

Matt: oh you're the new girl!! Everyone's been talking about you.

Ophelia: oh no!
My head fell on the table.

Matt: people here are mean... I heard you fell in the hall... are you okay?

Ophelia: oh yea just beyond fucking embarrassed! Then again if I wouldn't have fallen i wouldn't have met your brother...

Matt: I'm so sorry... oh NICK!
He stood up and started waving his brother over.

Matt: Nick this is... I never asked your name.
He face palmed.

Ophelia: I'm Ophelia Campbell!

Nick: Nice to meet you Ophelia! I'm Nick Sturniolo!

We all talked for a bit, then Matt got up to run to the bathroom before lunch was over. Not realizing Nick caught me stairing at Chris from across the room.

Nick: I take it you're the girl Chris helped?

Ophelia: huh? Oh.. yeah unfortunately that was me...

Nick: you like him, don't you?
You'd think Nick has known me forever but then again idk how obvious I'm being either...

Ophelia: I mean... he's pretty cute yea... seems he has a girlfriend though...

Matt: what are yall talking about?

Nick: not my story to tell!
He put his hands up in surrender.

Ophelia: you know Nick caught me watching your brother that's all.

Matt: please for the love of god tell me you like him! He needs to break up with Erika!

Ophelia: I mean...
I could feel myself blush.
