I walked into my first class of the day—- the best seat opened that I could find was towards the middle of the class.

As we sat and waited for the professor, I turned my attention to the window next to me—- The rain drops sliding down the glass window.

Today was more of a gloomy day so I had on a black tank top, light washed jeans and a white cardigan.

I hoped today was an easier day because I didn't get that much sleep last night—- I was knocked out of my thoughts when I heard a sharp voice.

"Books out please" Avery said as she shut the wooden door, walking to her desk and sitting her bag down.

" We are going to start a new lesson, the new book is 'The Great Gatsby' " she explained as she wrote it down on the board.

Just as she went to speak again the wooden door creaked signaling that someone entered— all heads snapped towards the door to find a new kid walking in.

"Who are you and why are you interrupting my lesson" Avery snapped as she turned to face him anger flashing through her eyes.

"I-I'm sorry ma'am—- my name is Nicholas Kennedy I just transferred here" he explained as Avery kept her heavy glare on him.

" your still late" she pointed out— I could see a flash of nervousness flash through his eyes.

" I apologize" he said as he played with his fingers. " have a seat" she said sharply before turning back to the board.

He quickly went off to find a seat and of course the only one opened was next to me.

He sat down before looking around, I realized he didn't have a textbook yet so I slid mines towards him a bit so we could both read from it.

" Hey, don't let her get to you— it's your first day" I smiled making him nod. " thank you that really means a lot" he smiled back before playing with the few rings that he had on his fingers.

"My name is Arabella" I said making him nod. " Nicholas but I'm sure you heard that already" he said before we both laughed quietly.

"Hey— quit talking" she glared at the both of us earning an eye roll from me.

I could tell she was getting mad at me but I don't care she had no reason to be so harsh on him when it's only his first day.

After she let us start our assignment, Me and Nicholas started chatting again.

"So where are you from" I questioned as I leaned my head on hands. " I'm from Oregon" he explained making my eyes widen.

"Wow, that's far did your family come here with you" I asked curiosity getting the best of me.

" nope just me—- fresh start, so do you think we could be friends" he questioned. " of course" I smiled.

My eyes quickly traced the classroom before I saw Avery glaring at us from her desk.
