I woke up at 5am to the sound of loud voices downstairs. I was so tired I couldn't even think straight, my head was spinning all over the place. What was going on? Why was I up so early? Suddenly it all came back to me. This was the day I was going to my mom's friends house to stay for 6 months! Omg, I haven't even finished packing! Most of my room was just boxes and boxes of stuff. I went into my top chest of drawers to find and bundle of clothes that still needed to be packed, there was also another few trunks of stuff then my toiletries and that was everything! For the next hour and a half I was busy packing. I decided that I better put on my school uniform even though school wasn't for another 1 hour and 15 minutes! I dashed downstairs to get breakfast but there was no groceries in the house so I decided to go and get breakfast from the cafe down the street. The cafe was quite quiet and I was served fairly quickly. I got french toast with a large chocolate milkshake and a pot of fruit. When I got back it was almost 7:30. I now had to carry all the boxes downstairs. It took me until 8:15 to get all the boxes downstairs! The removal van wasn't coming until after school but I would be leaving as soon as I got home from school. I ran upstairs and found my school bag and jacket in the corner of my room. Then I did my makeup and hair, then it was time to leave for school. I hope I'm not late again, after all i got up at 5am! My school was about a 15 minute walk from my house so I should just make it in time. I arrived at school just on time. Where were Orla and Grace? (Orla and Grace had been best friends since the first day of high school, I was basically lost without them) I couldn't see them anywhere. Don't tell me I'm left alone, I thought to myself. Just then the bell rings, yay classes I think to myself sarcastically. The first few periods were just the same and then it was break. I haven't seen Orla or Grace all morning so they are obviously not in. I see a nice looking girl from my math class standing with a few girls and go to approach her. 

"Hi Andrea is it, what was our maths homework?" I awkwardly stammer. 

"Ehh I'm not quite sure I've got it written down if you want I can show you it at lunch? She said, whilst tossing her glorious hair. 

"Yea thanks that would be great, see you then." 

And with that I run to the bathroom. After a few more boring classes its finally lunch. Andrea seemed really nice. She's quite popular though, nothing like me. I'm a total nerd. She has a boyfriend too, Alfie I think his name is. I've never payed much attention to him or any of the other boys for that matter. They shove me, I shove them harder back, thats it. Orla and Grace would be so happy for me right now I can't wait to tell them all about it later. Andrea greets me with a warm hug and cheerily says 

"Do you wanna head to the little cafe up the street, I know we're not meant to but no one will ever know." Lost in a haze I murmured 

"Yea sure."

 I don't think I realised what I was doing. I had never skipped class, went out for lunch while at school, answered back teachers or not did homework, I was always the perfect student but now that was all gonna change. 

"Ok, what you up to this weekend maybe we could hang out, here let me get your number so I can text you." Andrea said.

 My brain just froze for a few seconds, Andrea Smith was asking me to hangout with her! Omg! Or was it all just a prank so they could all laugh at me. At this point I had no idea. Surely it wasn't. Don't get me wrong Andrea was amazing but there was just something about her that seemed quite strange. There were rumours going about at one point that she had done all sorts of horrible things. I didn't really know what to think of them. 

"I'm free the whole weekend and sure here it is." I say, then pass her my phone with my phone number on the screen. 

"Well on Saturday I'm busy with Alfie but I think I'm free Sunday, I'll have to check but." Andrea said.
