[ flashback ]

"First day of highschool... Great," I thought.

As I started walking towards the school gate I saw someone running towards me from the corner of my eye. Before I could see the person's face, I felt two muscular arms wrap around my body and squeeze all of the oxygen out of my lungs. I immediately knew who it was.

"Mason, I can't breathe" I said.

"God, I missed you so much Soph " Mason said as he slowly put me down.

Mason and I have been bestfriends since the first day of fourth grade. I considered him an older brother and we had an amazing friendship. We did everything together and over the summer we would see each other on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this summer we weren't able to hang out because his family went on a trip to Europe. Regardless of the time difference and the distance, he would still call me everyday throughout the entire trip.

I chuckled and told him "I missed you too Mason, but come on we don't want to be late on the first day."

He rested his arm around my shoulder as a smile grew on his face.

"Okay, let's go."

We walked through the halls stopping at our lockers to put our books away. The school we attended accepted students starting from fourth all the way up to to twelfth grade. Mason and I had attended the school ever since fourth grade, so we knew many of the students in our classes. Mason walked me to my first class and when we reached the classroom he turned his body to face me.

"I'll meet you at lunch okay?"

Mason gave me a quick hug and ran to his class. As I entered the room I looked for any available seats. I saw an empty seat towards the back of the class and began walking towards the desk. As I sat down, the gorgeous girl sitting next to me smiled. She had rich brown eyes, with straight brown hair, and was about 5'6. She wore an off the shoulder black and white striped crop top, with dark denim jeans that outlined her curves, a long silver leaf necklace, and adorable black heeled boots.

"Hey, I'm Sara" she said with a smile on her face.

"Hi, I'm Sophie. Are you new here? I've never seen you before." I replied as I took out my notebook and pen.

"Yeah, it sucks being the new kid. Would you mind showing me around?" She asked.

"I'd love too! Do you want to come eat with me and my friends at lunch?"

"Sure! Thanks."

Before I could say anything else, the teacher entered the room and started taking attendance.

"Are they allowed to give us a test on the first day of school?" I asked as we left the room.

"I don't know, but all I can think about right now is how hungry I am."

Right after she finished her sentence her stomach growled and we both started laughing.

We reached the cafeteria where I spotted my group of friends in our usual spot. Sara and I walked over to our table and I introduced her to my group of friends.

"So, Sara, what's your favorite color? Favorite tv show? Favorite band?" Isabella asked.

She smiled and responded to each question, saving the best for last.

"My favorite color is purple. I can't chose just one but I love Skins, Supernatural, Teen Wolf, and some others. And my favorite band is One Direction."

And with a smirk on my face, I replied, "Looks like we are going to be great friends."

[ present time ]

"DAMN IT SARA!!!"

"God, why are you screaming?! It's too early for that shit!"

"We're going to be late!" I yelled through the wall that separates our bedrooms

I immediately hopped out of bed and started to get ready. As I finished getting dressed, I saw that Sara was still asleep. I decided it was the perfect opportunity to piss her off. I slowly tiptoed towards the bed and grabbed the blanket she was sleeping on.

"3-2-1"

I pulled the blanket out from under her, using all of my power, causing Sara to fall on the floor face first.

"OW! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?"

"WE ARE LATE! ARE YOU DEAF?"

"No, but I was I don't know, SLEEPING!"

We managed to leave the apartment in a record speed of 8 minutes and right as we set foot in the classroom the bell rang. It's amazing we even made it on time.The professor entered the room shortly after we sat down. Throughout the lecture, I couldn't focus so I decided to bug Sara regarding her 20th birthday plans.

"Psstt... Sara, are you gonna do anything for your birthday?" I whispered.

"Sophie, we're gonna get in trouble if we don't pay attention." She said as she took notes.

I continued to annoy Sara until she gave up and decided to whisper back.

"I'm not sure yet but we need to listen right now."

"Okay, but your birthday is in a week." I stated.

"Yes, thank you. I'm aware of when I was born." She replied hastily.

"I just thought of a great idea! Let's go to OTRA San Diego! It's only a couple hours away from here and we've been wanting to go to a One Direction concert for such a long time."

"Do you know how much those things cost right? I don't know if we can afford to go."

"Yeah, you're right... Those tickets are really expensive..." I grimly replied.

"Let's just go out for dinner on my birthday. Now come on, focus, this may be on the next exam." Sara replied.
