Chapter Seven: First Day Of School

The sunlight streamed into (Y/N)'s bedroom through the window. Birds were chirping melodiously. (Y/N) sat up and rubbed her eyes. She got up and brushed her teeth before she changed into a shirt and a pair of jeans, matched off with a pair of sneakers. She headed downstairs to the living room to see her grandfather walking out of the kitchen while holding a plate of waffles.

"Good morning, Grandpa," (Y/N) said.

"Good morning," he said cheerfully as he put down the plate of waffles on the dining table.

(Y/N) sat down and was about to eat when her grandfather said, "Another thing. I signed you up for school. It starts this coming Monday, which is tomorrow. Your mom would be cross with me if I didn't send you to school."

Monday came quickly, and before (Y/N) knew it, she was already walking down the steps of her house's front porch. Suddenly, she heard some shouting noises coming from the house next door. A boy with blonde hair stepped out of the house. He was wearing a blue hoodie and dark blue jeans.

Both of them headed to the bus stop. This only meant one thing. They would be attending school together.

"Hi," (Y/N) said to the boy, trying to be friendly, "I'm (Y/N) (L/N). What's your name?"

"I'm Dan Peterson," the boy said.

There was an awkward silence before (Y/N) broke it by asking, "So... um... I'm not trying to be nosy... but why was there shouting noises coming from your house?"

"My parents are always fighting," Dan answered, "And I heard my dad say in one of their arguments that they would get a divorce."

"Oh," (Y/N) said, "I'm sorry to hear that."

"Nah, it's fine," he said, "Besides, I'm used to them arguing. So... you're going to Westchester Elemantary School as well?"

"Yeah," she answered.

"Hopefully we'll be in the same classes," he said enthusiastically.

She smiled at him. It seemed like she made a new friend that day. And she could not wait for the school day to begin.
