Six days have past, and i'm kind of nervous to go to my new school tomorrow. I met the other two boys, Luke and Calum, yesterday. not that i spoke to them more than 4 words though. It was more something like a 'Hello, nice to meet you, how are you, bye.' conversation. They came to pick up Ashton for a band practice while i was spending a day with Vera at their flat. And as clumsy as i am, i bumped into one of them when i entered the kitchen. Apparently, they and Michael are going to the same school as me, so at least i already know someone there. Even though i don't think they will recognize me. And if they do, i'm sure they won't even say hello. 

Michael told me he is willing to pick me up in the morning to walk to school together though, so i'm not alone, and i won't get lost. I've found myself getting closer with Michael the last few days. Close as in, he is easy to talk to and he never fails to make me laugh. I don't know yet if i can trust him, i'll see. Maybe he's just like everyone else, and leaves me after some time. 

-

'Eloise, it's me, Michael.' i hear someone say before knocking on the door again. And again. 'i'm coming, stop knocking!' He laughs and soon enough, it's quiet. i drag myself toward the door to open it with all the power i have, and greet Michael, who's standing happily in the opening of it. 'why are you so happy Mike, it's way too early to be!' i chuckle. 'I'm always happy, ready to go?' He grins. 'Yeah, let's go.' I close the door and we start walking to the elevators with next to them the stairs. 'Are we lazy today?' 'We are always lazy Mike.' 'elevator.'

-

'What do you have first?'  Michael asks me, walking into my new school. 'i have no idea, i need to be at the Principal's room for a talk, he'll give me my timetable i guess.' 'she.'   i look up confused. 'what do you mean with she?'  'the principal is a she.'  'whatever, can you tell me where her room is, please?'  Michael chuckles before grabbing my hand, which surprises me,  and leads me to her room.  'Good luck babe.'  'she's evil?' 'nah, just boring.' i nod and knock on the door.   'i'll wait here.'   Michael says,  before hearing a 'come in!'  from the other side of the room.  I smile at him and open the door, seeing a pretty old women sitting behind a desk. 

'Goodmorning, how can i help you?'  

' I'm Eliose Lewis, i'm new here.'   I smile, and look down, getting a bit scared of the way she stares into my eyes.  In the five seconds i looked at her, i could notice her big nose, her bright green eyes, and the awful red lipstick she has on her wrinkled lips. 

'oh, welcome! Sit down my dear. Let me tell you some things about our school, the rules, and everything else what's important.'   She starts telling me a long, very long story, which doesn't really sound interesting. I lose my interest after the first sentence already, which makes me stare uncomfortably at her, pretending to be listening.  

'anyways, here's your timetable and the rules at this school. take a good look at it for a minute and ask about the things you don't understand.'   I take a quick look at my timetable, hoping for some nice subjects today to survive my first day here.   'I understand it. can i go now?'  

'Of course my dear, i hope you'll enjoy your time at our school, and you're always welcome if you need anything.'    I smile at her, and get up.  I pick up my bag from the floor and walk to the door to get out of this room as soon as i can.

-

'You were right Michael, she is like the most boring person i've ever met. and she kept calling me 'my dear'!' i sigh as i close the door behind me to see Michael leaning against the wall.  'i told you! so what have you got first?'  I give him my timetable.  'English? me too. that's awesome!'  He smiles. We slowly walk to the room Michael said we have to be, and continue to talk about the subjects we'll have together today.  'Goodmorning Clifford, take a seat.  and you are?'  the teacher asks when we enter the room, which is already filled with students.  'i'm  Eloise Lewis, sir.'   I look around the room to see everyone staring at me, some people laughing, and some people talking. They probably talk about me. 'ah, i'm  Mr. Forbes, i'll be your English teacher for the rest of the year. take a seat now.'  I turn around and search for an emty seat, until Michael waves at me. I smile and walk to where he's sitting, before sitting down on the seat next to him. 'thanks Mike.'  'no need to thank me.' 

-

I finally hear the bell, which means English is over. I pack my stuff and walk out of the room, knowing that Michael has a different subject than i have now. following the directions he gave me to find the classroom i have to be, i find it without getting lost and within five minutes. I walk into the room, and find a place to sit.  I'm kind of glad it's next to the window, because Geography is the most horrible subject ever.  

'Eloise?' I look up, and see Luke standing in front of me. 'I didn't know you also have geography on monday!'  'now you do.' I smile. 'Do you mind if i sit here?' He asks, pointing at the emty seat next to me. 'of course not.' I move some stuff, so Luke's able to sit down and look outside the window again.    'Hey, i am really bored, which i always am in Geography, and you don't look like you're enjoying it either. So what do you think of playing a game?'   Luke says, who must have noticed me staring outside for a while now. 'what kind of game?' I frown.  '20 questions, to get to know each other a bit.  I mean, we'll see each other a lot more often from now on, so why not?' he smiles. I think about it for a minute, and nod. 'alright then, so what's your favorite color?'

'Blue, how about yours, mrs. Lewis?' 

'Black.' 

'that's not a color, you idiot.'  

I sigh and laugh.  'alright then, purple.  favorite animal?' 

'penguin! yours?' 

'wow, that's great, mine is a penguin too!'   I giggle, looking down at my book, covered with penguin stickers. 

'finally someone! Everyone thinks i'm crazy because of my love for penguins! anyways, let's carry on.' 

'alright, any siblings?' 

'yep, two brothers. you?'

'are you just going to repeat every question i ask?!' 

 'i'm lazy, sorry.' he laughs.  He has dimples!  

'but you need to answer it, so do you have siblings?'  He asks, which stops me from staring at him, oops.  

'nah, i'm lonely.' I chuckle. 'my turn! how many minutes do we have left?' 

'I expect the bell to go off within one minute. are you going to join us during lunch?' 

'who is us?' 

'Calum, Michael, and I.  is it a yes or no?'

'yeah, i don't mind. if it's okay for the three of you though?'

'of course it is! and what subject do you have next?'   

I laugh at us, throwing questions at each other non stop. it's a perfect way to have some sort of conversation for me. Luke's really easy to talk to, while Vera told me a few days ago he's a bit of socially awkward.  I look at my timetable which lays on the corner of my table, and answer Luke's question.  'PE, how about you?' before he's able to answer, the bell rings.

'I think English or Science, which means i'll see you again at lunch. Don't forget it!'  

'I won't, bye Luke!'  I say, watching him leave the class room.
