I shuffled down the crowded, narrow hallway of Dulock High hastily. "I cannot be late to chemistry," I thought to myself. "This year will be great. I'm starting fresh in a new school. No one knows me; no one knows about my past..." The bell rung and everyone cleared out of the halls and went to their first period classes. That is, everyone but me. My palms began to sweat and I glanced around nervously. "Room 591, where are you?" I whispered to myself. I looked down at my caillou themed watch. I was already five minutes late. "Oh no." I moaned.

"Hey are you alright?" Called a voice from behind me. I spun around to see a gorgeous brunette girl with round green eyes.

"Oh yeah. I um, I'm having a bit of trouble with finding my way around." I murmured stepping closer to the girl.

"What room?" She asked, taking my schedule from me. "Ah, room 591.  That room is practically hidden so I don't blame you for getting confused. My class is a couple doors down from there. I could walk you there, if you want."

"Oh really? That would be great!" I said to her. We began to walk down a flight of stairs.

"So are you new?" The green eyed girl asked.

"Yeah." I replied.

"Where are you from?" She asked.

"Sitzwendal."

"That's cool. My cousin lives there." I smiled awkwardly at the girl, not knowing what to say. She soon stopped and pointed at a small door at the end of the hallway. "That's your destination," she said handing me my schedule, "and it looks like we have lunch together, so I'm hoping you can sit with me." I smiled and nodded.

"Thank you." I said, turning toward my classroom. "Oh, wait," I said, turning around on the heels of my bright, white new balances. "What's your name?"

She smiled brightly. "Fiona. You?"

"Erin." I replied. She nodded and walked down the hall, humming beautifully all the while.
