MELISSA'S POV:

I was standing at my locker putting away my books and organizing it a little bit when a girl approached me.

"Hello." She said, smiling warmly at me.

I was reaching up to the top of my locker putting books on the shelf. I turned and completely faced her.

" Hey." I replied.

" You're Melissa, right?" She asked.

"Yeah."

" Cool. I'm Jamie." She said, smiling at me.

I didn't know what to say. I never really not what to say. I mean after someone you don't know introduces themselves, it's not like I know them well enough to have a conversation with them.

She laughed a little bit, " Is this your lunch period?" She asked.

"Yeah." I answered, grabbing my bag and shutting my locker.

"Cool, me too." She said.

"Okay." I awkardly replied.

"Want to go get some lunch?" She asked .

" Eh, I'm not really that hungry but thanks." I answered.

" Oh, well, then where are you going?" She I asked.

" Uh, probably the library." I answered.

I wanted to go to the library because I knew it would be quiet in there, my head was pounding. I didn't get much sleep last night, and I think I'm coming down with a cold or something, I've felt like shit since last night.

"Mind if I join you?" She asked.

" Uh, sure you can come." I said, heading towards the library.

She walked beside me and didn't say anything. God this was awkward. She opened the library door and I followed her in. She walked right to a table and I followed her.

She sat down accros from me and put her bag on the table.

" So, where did you move from?" She asked.

"Maine." I answered sadly.

" You don't seem too thrilled to be here." She said, grinning at me.

" Ha, no, not really." I answered honestly.

"Why? You don't like the sunshine?" She said laughing a little bit.

" I don't know." I replied with a smile.

"Haha okay." She said.

"So, how do you like the school?" She asked.

"Uh.." I replied uneasily.

" Yeah me too." She said laughing

I laughed with her. It was a genuine laugh too.

" Do you have any plans for tonight?" She asked.

"No." I answered simply.

" Want to hang out?" She asked.

" Uh, sure." I answered.

" Cool. There's a bonfire tonight on the beach, want to go?"

I mean that sounded like fun. But I don't know anyone here yet really.

" Who is going to be there?" I asked.

"Probably everyone." She said grinning at me.

" Okay."
