The trio sat there in silence during their 7th period class. Stella hardly uttered a word even though it was her sister's class and loved to mess with her. Evan seemed like he had a wall built around him causing people to stay away from him more than usual. Then there was Asher, he tried to stay the same for his friends, but he too wasn't the same. He didn't care about his homework and didn't even study for his test. He acted more jittery than usual, even the smallest, sudden sound would freak him out.

Stella tugged on the back of Asher's shirt, causing him to jump. He composed himself before turning around in his desk, giving Stella a small smile. "Yeah, Stella?"

She just glanced over at Evan who had his head on his desk, facing the wall. "I have this feeling that Evan is more conflicted to what happened this morning than we were," the brunette said in a soft voice.

Asher glanced over to his friend, giving him a sympathetic look. He placed a hand on Stella's head, and gave her a reassuring smile. "I'm sure he'll be alright, Stell."

The girl only nodded. She looked back at Evan with a worried look. "I'm going to go talk to him."

"I'll go with you," he said as he stood up.

Stella stood too, but before they could walk over to their gloomy friend. Her sister slammed open the door making a loud bang. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at her.

Sophie just gave a small nervous laugh and proceeded to walk to the front of the class. First clearing her throat, she looked at the class and started to talk. "Ahem, as you probably all know by now, today we have a-"

"A new student. Yaaaaay." someone from the back of the class sarcastically said, making everyone laugh.

Stella smirked as she saw her sister's eye twitch. 'Oh how I love this class'. She sat back in her chair, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Just for that, all of you have to write a 3 page essay on what you've read in To Kill A Mockingbird." The whole class groaned.

"We haven't even read the book yet!"

"That's so not fair."

"Status update: Reason number 305 on why I hate teachers..."

"Oh shut up! You really think I would do that to a bunch of idiots like you guys? I'd rather not have any of you back in my class for another year." Sophie rolled her eyes. The students then sighed in relief. "You actually have to read the whole book before class tomorrow."

"WHAT THE FU-" the student stopped when his teacher gave him the death glare.

"Um," a voice heard from outside the classroom, getting everyone's attention. He poked his head inside the room slightly, causing everyone to start whispering.

Asher's eyes widened as he saw the boy and he quickly turned around to face Stella. She gave him a weird look and tilted her head. "I'll tell you later," he said in a whisper before turning back around.

"Get in here and introduce yourself," Sophie said as she beckoned the boy to come into the classroom.

Everyone's eyes, except Evan's, were glued onto the new student as he walked to the front of the class. His black hair gleamed under the lights, making it seem like there were hints of blue in it. He wore a royal blue button up shirt, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, along with a black shirt underneath. He had black slacks and a pair of black sneakers. His hair was a mess, but it looked natural on him.

There he stood in front of the class, hands in his pockets, giving all of them an expressionless face. He shifted his body weight from one side to the other.

He looked over to Asher who gave him an apologetic look. The boy sighed then looked at the class.

"My name is Helen, Helen Otis. Although, I prefer being called Otis."
