Every single secret

Chapter 3- Welcome

Spoiler alert guys *cough cough*...the week has gone by faster than I thought and now I'm standing on my doorstep waiting for Samantha to pick me up and drive me to Westwood High.

Gosh, I'm so excited and hate my fucking social anxiety more than anything.

My hands are shaking and I'm terrified.
What if they don't like me? What if I keep getting bullied? What if people think I'm weird? What if-

"Get in sis, you don't want to be late on your first day, do you?"
I'm brought out of my thoughts by Samantha's hyper voice and the sounds of the car braking.

Deep down I was hoping Samatha would be late because that would mean that maybe I didn't have to go to Westwood High today after all and wouldn't have a chance to embarrass myself.

I get in the car and take a deep breath before my thoughts take over and I reach for the door handle to get out again.

"No chance, little sister," says Sam and automatically locks all the doors.

"I really can't do this," I answer with a shaky voice.

She takes my hand and squeezes it.
"You can do this," she says. "I believe in you."

Her warm smile calms me down a little and I put my hands on my thighs before Samantha turns to the street and drives off.

How I would love to be in my bed right now and pull the covers over my face to hide from the world.

...

"But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts!" I sing, now in a better mood.

"She's Cheer Captain, and I'm on the bleachers" sings Sam.

"Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find out That what you're looking for has been here the whole time" we sing together while the cold air blows in our faces through the open windows.

My eyes are closed, but I feel that the wind is suddenly gone.

"If you could see that I'm the one who understands you. Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me!!" I then sing.

When I open my eyes again and notice that she has stopped singing and that the car has stopped driving, I stop the song 'You belong with me' by Taylor Swift and look over at her.

"Why did you stop?" I ask.

She nods straight ahead "We arrived Liv"

I look straight ahead.
Oh crap, she's right.

In front of us is a huge building called Westwood.

Shit, shit, shit, shit.
I was just distracted for a second from overthinking and now I'm starting again.

Sam notices that I'm starting to shake slightly again and she grabs my hand again. "Listen" She waits until I look at her and continues when I do. "You are so strong and you are the most loving person I know, there is no reason to worry"

I just nod.

"And I'm always here for you, got it? All you have to do is call and I'll pick you up right away"

I nod again as I listen to her.

"You go in there now and rock it, my little rock star" she says.

I have to chuckle and so does she.
That's exactly what I needed. I needed her. She always calms me down and is always there for me. I appreciate that so much.

She gets out of the car and walks around to the passenger seat to open the door for me.
I get out and give her a hug so tight that she can hardly breathe.
