CHANGE

New friends.

Emma Lowe

I entered the class, this time I wasn't receiving the glares. It probably was Colton. I wonder why they were staring at him. I mean, he's not the sexiest person I have seen, but he's alright.

I spotted everywhere and tried to find one of my new friends. I found Nikki. yay! This couldn't get any better. Wait, it just did. I found Chad too! Yay! I don't know why I'm so excited to see them, I think because they are my only friends?

I made my way to Nikki and sat next to her. I was quickly pulled into a tight bear hug. I feel loved. I smiled at the thought.

"Hey girl." Nikki told me.

"Hi, Nikki." I told her and laughed lightly.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine. You?"

"I'm good. I decided to forgive Jace. This is his last chance. I hope he changes for the better." She said as she pouted her lip.

"Well, that's great. I want to talk to him." I told her out of nowhere.

"Sure, how about at lunch today?"

"Sounds good."

We continued to talk about ourselves and I was actually liking school. Not the teachers and work, but some of the people.

I had learned that she is from Los Angeles. She is 17. Her birthday is in 3 months. She loves the colors white and blue. She works as a model. She used to suffer from depression and had a hard time overcoming it, but fortunately she started smiling more and laughing and being happy. That made me smile alot.

"Do you happen to know Colton? Colton Haim?" I blurted.

"Of course, he's my brother."

"W-what?"

"Yeah, Colton is only one year older than me."

"Oh my god! That's why his eyes reminded me of yours so much. I should've known that earlier." I smacked my forhead. She laughed at my sudden outburst.

"Chill, Em. I'm nothing like him. I'm actually social and nice." She told me.

"He asked me out on a date." I blurted once again. Jesus, I need some duct tape to cover my mouth.

Her eyes widened. Now she started wiggling her eyebrows.

"Ooh-la-la."

"Woah, woah, woah. He needed a date and I didn't know who he was so he said I was perfect because I would be drooling over him."

"Oh. Still, Ooh-La-La." She continued to wiggle her eyebrows.

"Jesus, Nikki." I told her and smacked her arm playfully.

"Be right back, I'm going to talk to my friend, Chad."

"Chad?"

"Yeah. Why? Something wrong?"

"No, but he's pretty hot."

"Jesus, Nikki." I told her and laughed.

"Why do you have all the hot guys over you?" She whined.

"Because, I'm sexy." I told her nonchalantly and made my way to talk to Chad. I went behind him and covered his eyes.

"Guess who, babe?"

"Um..Emma?"

"Ding. Ding. Ding." I said and removed my hands.

"Hi, Chad." I told him and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me back.
